I like to "annoy" people whith small "things" that are insignificant "alone" but add up over "time". Kind of like "overusing" quotation marks in "posts" and comments.

Depends on what you already know.

Functional languages like Haskell, Clojure or Erlang have a reputation of being hard to grasp.

Rust's borrow mechanics are hard for some people at first, especially because it's very unique to the language.

Javascript can be frustrating because it also has some rare features among popular languages, and uses the same keywords for different concepts. It's not bad at all once you let go of your assumptions and dedicate the time to understand how it works under the hood.

C++ is also notorious for being hard but I haven't used it for a very long time so I can't say anything about it.

It's worth noting that a huge part of their manufacturing takes place outside of Germany where salaries are way lower and regulations aren't as strict.

Not a classics, but:

  • American Gods: they made unnecessary changes and introduced unnecessary filler plotlines until it felt like a drag to watch. The book already explored social issues, but the showrunners decided to dial it up to 100 and spoonfeed it to the audience at the expense of the actual plot.
  • Ready Player One: they dumbed down the whole thing about hunting keys and portals, removed tons of important worldbuilding details, made pointless changes that ruined the spirit of the books. They should have made it into a series instead of a movie.

Thanks for adding these UIs as an alternative. Especially m.lemmy.world, it feels like a native app.

We were staying at a small hotel, we just finished lunch when we saw a middle aged couple arguing with the young receptionist.

Their problem was that the all you can eat restaurant had self service and that they ran out of one of the meals. The receptionist tried to explain that this kind of thing happens sometimes but they try their best to refill the trays.

They then asked for the owner, but the receptionist informed them that he's out of town and not available, but if they want they could write a formal complaint. Hearing this the woman shouted: "then how will we get a refund???".

Not gay, but you literally want to be in the body of a woman. Can't tell me that's not LGBT.

Where's "here"?

In some countries they'll fail you if you don't bribe, even if your driving was perfect, in others they'll just overlook small errors that aren't too dangerous.

There are places where if you bribe they'll let you pass even if you can barely drive, in others they'll call the police on you if you bring it up.

Ask around locally, you should definitely not bribe if you'd be a danger to yourself and others.
