it’s regular capitalism but without pesky things like “environmental laws” and “human rights”

Fortunately, I don’t think there’s a fraction of that specific kind of tension.

My guess is 40-50 years from now, people will probably just call it Gqeberha or some other more catchy nickname.

Come to think of it, I don’t hear about it as often as I probably should.

Government officials, the news and people in other professional contexts call it Gqeberha, frequently struggling with the click sound, even when a “k” sound will suffice.

Otherwise, I still hear people call it “P.E.”

“Port Elizabeth” was still kind of a mouthful

People I meet from the Eastern Cape just say they’re from “the Eastern Cape”, because unfortunately most people don’t know where Nxuba or Makhanda is.

Hell, a lot of people think Gqeberha/P.E. is the capital city of the Eastern Cape. (Bhisho is the capital)

Seeing Cape Town Stadium get renamed to DHL Stadium pissed me off so hard

This might sound silly, but going to that stadium, I felt an indescribable sense of community with everyone who showed up to support whatever artist/band/sports team was there . So many people, with a shared interest, in one place.

Since I live further out of Cape Town, I rarely get to experience that.

That piss yellow logo DHL logo everywhere ruined the experience so fucking much.

KINDLY REMEMBER YOUR GLOBAL CORPORATE OVERLORDS WHO ARE NOT SORRY FOR KEEPING TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE. ALSO, FUCK YOU. REMEMBER TO GAMBLE.

Never install a camera in a bathroom

Like, you don’t install anthrax in a maternity ward

wonder if there’s a surgeon who can do both procedures simultaneously

The Economist has a tendency to put out articles seemingly designed to make conservatives bust nuts through their trousers at mach 4

Is Lucifer’s Poison Ivy destroying the fabric of civilization as we know it?

Also, doesn’t this shit just waste like a fuckton of taxpayer money?

dear creator(s)

please let the citizens of the USA win a crippling class action lawsuit against Amazon it would be so fucking funny

I ask this in the name of whichever holy figure is the correct one

2024!?

At that point, instead of providing ID, you provide your desired expletives

like what are they gonna do

they claim to not know who you are

my name’s not even norman why the fuck did you do this to me

public static int convertRomanNumeral(String numeral) {

}

i take this to mean “shit on the fingerprint scanner”

I don’t know much about JS

I just went with whatever seems unlikely

You know a lot more about JS than what you think

Oh my god, I did some research

They’re selling emoji domains

https://xn--i-7iq.ws/ is ground zero

I strongly advise against buying one. It resolves to unreadable asdfgjkl-Hdlslfjrms.tld anyway, which entirely defeats the purpose.

Give your money to a charity instead.

Or give it to me. I will spend it on cigarettes.

if you think this is bad, wait for the .🙏🥴❤️ TLDs

Thank you!

That’s exactly what I wanted.

“the pre-owned volvo of tourist@lemmy.word” is not as catchy as “The Ship of Theseus”
