@Ranjit It is possible, but I've forgotten all about it.

Lying on the floor, trying to read up on algorithms, and falling asleep still facing the computer until my girlfriend asks if I'm ok.

@liaizon Being horny on main.

Bouncy friend.

You may think I am exaggerating, but Georgia literally has antifa ravers: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/14/georgian-techno-fans-extremists-clash-tbilisi-fight-club-culture

The best part of working for a company that is rapidly expanding into more unusual markets is that I am accumulating all these weird new national stereotypes in my head.

Like, all Georgians are serious ravers apparently? Literally they are in the work chat talking about how they can bring DJs and mixers to the big company party. Nobody asked, they just want to.

@fred @xiroux Funnily enough, even ISO Latin-1 is not enough to represent a wider set of the conversations an English speaker may want to have in English, only referring to English-speaking places, as many place names in the United Kingdom use characters outside of ISO Latin-1.

@fred @xiroux There is no "extended ASCII". There are many different incompatible encodings that include ASCII. You may be thinking of ISO Latin-1, or possibly Windows CP1252. Using any of them in 2019 is even less reasonable than using ASCII.

This form did not accept any of those encodings either.

@xiroux The thing I love the absolute most about this kind of only-ASCII-characters-are-real stupidity is:

You can't even write proper *English* with just ASCII characters! English has plenty of words that need characters outside of ASCII! "Naïve" is a perfectly fine English word, as is "coördinate", is a bit old-fashioned. To say nothing of "résumé".

@moritzheiber No, the first is there too.

@moritzheiber The first seems to be an iOS bug, there is an issue for it.

@halcy Animal Crafting?

@Siphonay no

Nom nom apple tree nom nom.

@christinelove In my defence I would have if I knew anything about anything but I don’t.
