You mean on android mobile? Firefox for Android has a extension that works nicely to allow you to play e.g. youtube videos in the background: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/

For iOS though I've got no idea, sorry :(

This makes me happy! I just recently got really into maps and was glad to see a bit of community here as well.

Have to checkout those books, thanks for the suggestions!

They are shitting bulls, probably living a life of constant pain

This happened in Finland, but I didn't want to specify it to spark a universal conversation, which succeeded!

I know people from all around the globe deal with privacy issues and hoped that others would share their experiences.

Haven't looked into VOIP phone numbers before, thanks for the tip!

Could have been that too. I was polite and didn't fuss about it thankfully!

Yeah the title is a bit of an exaggeration of my feelings and as you mentioned, I was a bit anxious too since I have been abroad for quite a long time (and encountered something I did not expect in what I thought was an environment that could not surprise me).

Agreed, it could very well be that I was the first customer to question since the cashier started working there.

Thanks for the uplifting comment!

Now I know! I was positively surprised when they didn't ask the follow-up question, but I see now they have been trained to not ask it at all.

Similar experiences. I was thinking "that's it? Now i have to do this 5 times a week, recover on the weekend, and then again for the rest of my life?!".

People kept telling me you get used to it. I felt hopeless after couple of years because it didn't get better.

Now I realize that a full time job doesn't need to mean that you are a husk working your life away, always completely drained.

I'mma go with number two for a sure bet, could be number one too, but number two for sure

Also want to thank Blaze, love the amount of posting and commenting you do!

Agreed, but I must admit I haven't dug deeper so I have no clue.

... And goldie. Atleast give me these beautiful old trams rather than modern day trams that don't have / have broken AC in the summer heat.
