But scheisse isn't a French word unless I'm mistaken. Opri is also a Belgium patents service and they have offices in Brussels too. I think this is from a Belgium protest.

Edit: I'm fairly positive that isn't france.

Yes, but this ORPI is Organisation Régionale des Professionnels de l'Immobilier, the French Real estate agents network. Look, at the logo, then look at their Wikipedia page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_r%C3%A9gionale_des_professionnels_de_l%27immobilier.

Also scheisse is German, poo poo in Flemish is Schijt.

If I was Brown Moses I'd spend the next 8 hours discovering exactly where this office is located but fortunately I'm not that loving lame.

Their food is garbage and became too expensive, it’s not rocket science. My wife and I decided we’d stop going out for food unless it’s to a nice place and to do it more infrequently. gently caress paying $80 for mediocre food.

We’re not eating in our neighborhood anymore, rather go into the larger nearby cities and eat dinner with friends. It makes no sense to pay so much for mediocre sushi or whatever when it costs as much to go just a bit farther away and to nicer places.

Across the board, eating out (much like travel) is becoming far too expensive.

McDonald’s Corp. is temporarily closing US offices this week as it looks to notify corporate employees about layoffs as part of a broader restructuring plan, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The company said in an internal email last week to US employees and some international staff that they should work at home from Monday through Wednesday so it can deliver staffing decisions virtually, the newspaper reported.

just like 2 entrees no drinks is close to $50 out the door lol. well I guess you could not tip and be close to $40. we just did 2 entrees 2 drinks at home room and it was $65

I haven’t ate out for lunch in over a year now because it’s definitely not worth it, but we do go out for dinner a few times a month so it’s a budget wash

on a ship it makes sense.

if there is poo poo to do, ya gotta do it and it doesn’t really matter how long it takes. even now with regulated rest and work hours they’re allowed to exceed those for unexpected events and things like maneuvering (think like coming up a river into port in heavy traffic.)

There are an amazing number of things that are terrible basically because ships. health insurance (and insurance in general) is another one.

:yeah:

Seems like every hotel is minimum 150 bucks a night, and they're all universally shitholes.

Fast food's advantage came from its price, now the prices are ballooning and they're shrinking the food too. And lol, the only thing to even do in the US with other people is eat and drink, and you can't even do that because prices are crazytown.
