I identify as older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

I’m not but that’s how I identify.

There’s a reason they got the generic name Karens.

Like Gary (Garys aren’t Karens), there aren’t many around now but the few I’ve ever come across really were worthy of these name.

My ex wife. Imagine a Karen. Now imagine she’s a solicitor who believes she is the law - no, not the police/a police officer, literally the law … statute … Acts.

That went as you might imagine it did.

John Wick.

Or maybe the Ian McShane character person…

Or the adjudicators that made JW an outcast in three (was it?).

Yes, the adjudicators.

Search. I want to search the entire Lemmy, not just ‘my’ instance.

Failing that: have Lemmy content appear in search engines.

Not heard of this.

Thank-you.

Do you have any enemies?

Husband is a lucky guy. I guess your ex was hoping for mean reversion (there’s a more appropriate mathematical term that I just can’t think of as I write), with/for his children…

I had a best friend as a sixth former (17-18 yo) who was around your height; I lost my bf because the person I was engaged (then married) to didn’t like her. Subconsciously, I’ve probably always compared everyone to her and the grace and poise with which she presented herself. I’m old now.

Scandinavian girls seem to be a reasonable height. I haven’t spend enough time over there to know for certain that it’s really a thing; and I wasn’t that sad to want to look it up! Wonder if that would suit too? It’s not the 80s anymore though, sadly, and dressing is very different and difficult now.

5’9" is tall. Hope you get to work/wear it well! I want to say ‘congratulations’ … it doesn’t make any sense but congratulations anyway! You/he won the lottery.

Tall women (5’ 7" / 170cm +) walk elegantly and have a poise often denied their shorter counterparts.

Never be worried about being tall. I wish I had been blessed. Both wives were 5’4". I’m 6’ 183cm.

Deciding if I look a dick in the clothes I am trying on, or whether I really really look a dick in the clothes I’m trying on.

The one real advantage in going clothes shopping with a wife or girlfriend, for stuff for oneself.

Oooooh ! You !

Thank-you. I’m much the same.

“Nothing (stylised in all caps) is a British consumer electronics manufacturer based in London. It was founded by Carl Pei, the co-founder of the Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus.”

Came from a OnePlus 6t to the Pixel.

The CEO had just left to create Nothing. OnePlus 7 owners were complaining about the newly merged interface. So when it was time to change - three year cycle - I went to Pixel 7 Pro.

Still got Nothing on my list for a Pixel 10 competitor.

Which OnePlus do you have and what do you think of it?

Came here to say that. A suspected spam caller won’t even cause the phone to ring.

That’s the way I discovered Linux in 2004. I wanted a VoIP system and so installed asterisk@home into a VM on Windows 2000 server.

Once I discovered how good it is, the W2000 was replaced by Debian.

Don’t use PayPal if you can avoid it. There are enough red flags of late to indicate it’s a hard ‘no’.

Many ISPs in the UK have telecoms licences and can create phone numbers. So rather than looking for a phone number, look for a provider that does VoIP and get a new number from them - obviously it will cost.

When I tried the same, all of the free for a few minutes websites I tried had numbers that were known to sites like eBay and I failed.

No idea what Lebanon is like.
