Diamond market by Pringles in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 116 points 1 month ago

I like diamonds, my wife calls me a magpie. I buy her jewelry so I get to look at it while she wears it. That being said, I only buy jewelry with artificial diamonds for my better half. She jokingly reacts affronted when I tell her, with an incredulous face she will go "What? No children died for this? Some husband you are!"

When shopping at a friends business you should rather pay more than expect a discount by Pringles in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 93 points 1 month ago

I just pay whatever they ask without fishing for a discount. When they offer a discount I tell them that's really not necessary and I'm happy to pay full price. But if they keep insisting, I will take the discount, not going to argue over that.

I disagree with the paying more, that could well be interpreted as offensive, as it makes it seem they need a handout. Just let them set the price and don't beg/demand/fish for a discount.

Unable to get past paywall, can you guys help? (www.wiwo.de)

Hi guys, I'm trying to read this article my boss sent me, but I can't find a way to read it. Tried archive.org, archive.is, reader mode, incognito mode, different browsers, tried removing the paywall thing with ublock, but nothing seems to work. Would any of you be able to help me out?

I really just want to read this one article and have no interest in getting a subscription; I would then have to set a reminder to cancel it which would likely involve a lengthy phone call with their support, which I'm really hoping to avoid.

Russian banks say they've run out of yuan as Chinese firms pull away from the nation by Pringles in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 50 points 4 months ago

The president or prime minister said that if China is serious about reclaiming Taiwan, it should also reclaim land that is currently Russian, as that land was also lost during the same time period.

A Took and a Brandybuck by Pringles in c/lotrmemes@midwest.social

This only goes for the movies. In the books they have arranged a house for Frodo on the eastern border of the Shire, where he will go lay low for several months before going to Rivendell. Merry, Pippin and Fatty Bolger have figured out the plan months in advance and made their own plans, in such a way that when the black riders arrive in the region, they leave within 5 minutes and have a route planned out already.

Also, it's tobacco as clearly mentioned in the books. They are probably quite drunk in this scene though.

Edit: and of course Samwise was also involved in the plans, he was the one who told them. Frodo was being played by all his close friends.

Tim Walz calls Viktor Orbán a dictator. For JD Vance, he’s a role model. by Pringles in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 65 points 5 months ago

“Hungary, strong country. Run by a very powerful, tough leader. He’s a tough guy. The press doesn’t like him because he’s tough. Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, very tough man,” Trump said in his speech.

This almost gave me a brain aneurysm. It's like the orange doofus takes two words and scrambles it in a random sequence of sentences while being incapable of adding extra information.

It keeps showing Internal server error and has been for over 2 hours now. I tested from different locations (China, US, EU) and same errors everywhere. Yet I don't see any news or posts about this anywhere. I have an exchange server that needs installing today and I can't download the prerequisites to even launch the install. Sigh

Vincent Kompany agrees deal to become Bayern Munich head coach (www.theguardian.com)

submitted 8 months ago by Pringles@lemm.ee to c/football@lemmy.world

Bayern Munich have agreed a three-year deal with Vincent Kompany to take over as head coach.

A fee of £10.2m will be paid to Burnley to bring the 38-year-old to the Allianz Arena, where he will succeed Thomas Tuchel in the top job. The Bundesliga club failed in their attempts to convince the German to stay after a run to the Champions League semi-finals and were forced to search elsewhere for a replacement.

Kompany, who began his managerial career at Anderlecht, earned a big reputation after joining Burnley two years ago. The former Manchester City defender took the Championship by storm, earning rave reviews after turning a defensive side into a thrilling attacking team, and led Burnley back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.

There were hopes that Burnley could succeed at the highest level by sticking to their progressive style of play but a failure to reinforce his squad led to a 19th-placed finish and relegation. Allowing Kompany to make a swift departure will give Burnley time to find the right replacement as they gear up for another promotion campaign.

There will be raised eyebrows at Kompany earning such a big job. Equally there is a feeling that the 38-year-old’s methods could work well with a side at the top level. Kompany has experience of living in Germany after representing Hamburg during his hugely successful playing career.

Microsoft is not buying Valve and Counter-Strike for £12 billion by Pringles in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 62 points 8 months ago

The rag called metro making news from random stuff again, I see. This is not even news. It's literally "reporting" that something is not happening.

Like this: "Intel not buying AMD for 6B$" Industry insiders report that Intel has decided not to buy their rivals for 6B$. The CEO of AMD has reportedly stated having no interest in selling to Intel. Their spokesperson, when confronted with this breaking news, replied "WTF have you been smoking, Pringles?" We will continue to report on this story as it continues to develop.

A gay immigrant was the American Revolution's biggest hero. Donald Trump would have discharged him. by Pringles in c/politics@lemmy.world

I had to scroll waaay too far down the article to find the name of the person referenced, so for those just wanting to know the name of the immigrant: Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben

You're welcome

What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? by Pringles in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 64 points 1 year ago

I'm a sync user and pretty tired of these pointless statements. Don't want it, don't use it! I pay for ultra to support the dev and that's my choice. Again, if you don't want it, don't use it. But can you please stop this sync bashing? It's not as if the torrent of anti-sync memes forgot to cover what you are saying.
