This is giving me !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org vibes

As a service worker, I have a fair few regulars who I know will brighten my day when I see them. It really doesn't take much; a friendly demeanour, a smile, a joke or two, it all goes a long way to make me feel like we're having a human interaction rather than me being a machine through which you order food & drinks. I've been doing this type of work for years but I still get flabbergasted at people who answer "latte to-go" when I ask them how their day is going.

That being said, something that annoys me (not saying you do this, you sound sweet and self-aware) is when people try to chat us up when we're clearly busy and in a rush. I don't want to be rude, and I would love to chat if I had time, but when I have a mountain of tickets to get through I'm not going to be a particularly engaging conversation partner :P

EDIT: I just want to add;

Joy is rebellion. Kindness is radical. Optimism is counterculture.

Love this. it's basically my motto at work. It's kinda silly, but even something as simple as getting service from a friendly person can make a difference in someone's day. Last year, I had a couple come in the café I worked at, chatted them up a bit, made them laugh. Come to learn they're from out of town, and I ask "what brings you to these parts?" only for the lady to break out into tears and tell me they were here for her mother's funeral. In between her sobs, she said they wanted to go out for breakfast to clear her thoughts from her grieving, and that she truly appreciated the kind and thoughtful service my coworkers and I gave them.

I went into the back and cried a bit after that, but it truly feels nice to make a positive difference in someone's day. I think about her a lot when I have a rough day at work, it helps keep me focused on trying my best. You never know what someone's going through.

I'm not an Apple user but I've heard good things about the Alfred launcher on MacOS.

That's a lot of nuts!

If I search for comments, I'll see stuff from whenever, but it works as it should when searching for posts.

I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P

blind brothers and sisters

No gender-neutral language for our non-binary siblings? For shame, comrade.

This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They're based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I'm not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it's just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.

but eyeing OnlyOffice because of their cloud service.

ONLYOFFICE ≠ OpenOffice

Je ne m'attendais pas de voir un thread au sujet de l'impro sur Lemmy!

The improv match format you're referring to is ~~pretty much exclusively~~ mostly a thing in the Francophone scene. L'impro-match, or l'improvisation gravelienne, or l'impro style LNI started in the 70s' in Québec out of the experimental theatre scene in Montréal, before spreading to other French-speaking countries.

The closest I've found on the Anglo side of things is stuff like theatresports or the Canadian Improv Games. There are similarities but the hockey theming is absent and the formats vary in multiple ways.

EDIT: I found this improv league in Spanish in Argentina who follow the same format with a direct link to the OG Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation. Like I mentioned in a reply to another comment here, there's also LIBER in Berlin, who play in both French and German. When the referee reads the theme card, they specify if the improv will be in French, German, or a mix of both.
