You have to do something physical. Run, do some intense workout with cardio and weights, wail on a punching bag. Maybe all 3.
Let your brain focus on something that isn’t words in your head, and exhaust you physically, and you’ll quickly learn how inconsequential other people’s petty BS really is in the grand scheme of things.
Best lil’ machine I ever had was a 10 inch Dell mini Hackintosh. Loved it, and got me through grad school .
I used to at work. I would do a half filled mug, give it 2-3 minutes of heat so it didn’t suddenly boil over, then drop in the tea bag and fill with regular water.

It’s worth it to pay extra for anything that doesn’t need an app or WiFi connectivity.
Those are huge red flags. Avoid anything “smart” like the plauge.
Appliances with “smart features” are simply scraping your whole home, not just your phone, for data to sell to advertisers. Very often the app or even the company won’t outlive the appliance itself, so as happens frequently, in 2 years you’ll be stuck with a perfectly workable appliance that refuses to work because some server in China went offline.
Can you show me an example of a website outside of a .DE site that offers translation into any of them?
Find a Linux distro you like and install it instead of Windows.
Use LibreOffice, not MSOffice
Ditch Google, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.
Tech walled gardens are insane asylums. Leave them.
I’m not saying it’s a good idea, i just see it a lot. Maybe I’m only paying attention to this in Europe, where it’s a bit more clear-cut, rather than tracking down population data to select a template option on a website for something like a cafe menu.
Please try and look at this as a reasonable person.
Do you go to Italy, see a QR code on a table in a cafe, and berate them about their online menu showing an Italian flag, but the Italian language predates the Italian Republic?
It’s simple because this is someone coding a site in one language, and then likely running it through Google Translate to get other options. Maaaaybe with a single human reviewing it of they’re lucky. But likely not even that.
Not every website has a translation team of 20 or 30 PhDs working to ensure optimal linguistic understanding and anthropological and historical accuracy. Likewise, no, I’m very sorry to tell you that people very often don’t really care about others. If pay 3 people in India, or ask an LLM, to code a website with German translation, either the drop down will say Deutsch or it’ll say that and have a German flag. What should Austria have, a tiny picture of Mozart but the site is still just German?
German dialects are still…German language, yes?
I’m just telling you what I’ve seen used. Typically it’s a lot of European flags for languages that originate in Europe. So UK for English, German for German, French for French, Spain for Spanish. Belarusian would be the flag of…Belarus? Not sure why that’s a challenge.
To your question about China - What should be used for Swahili? What should be used for Yarouba or Hausa or Shona or Chewa? Africa is the problem, and so the typical method for doing this is very Euro-centric.
Tell me… Where did, roughly speaking, German originate? Germany, perhaps?
Does Germany have a flag?
Not sure why this is some sort of hidden secret code.
Typically they’re used for the counties where the language originated.
UK for English France for French Japan for Japanese Spain for Spanish Russia for Russian Portugal for Portuguese
Tell your dad that what he sees on Facebook needs to stay on Facebook.
Just bad UX design. Typically this should include flags or the language’s name in the language if they really did a good job.
lol, can’t have fireworks injury statistics if you pass a bill that closes all the hospitals!
People are getting memes from LinkedIn now?
FFS, it’s like buying a sandwich from OfficeMax. It’s not from there, and shouldn’t be there in the first place.
