We had the same thought when we went to Norway - they do New Zealand like it should look. But them I'm from the Waikato and the best we can do is a few shit brown rivers
bold to assume company policy doesn't require the desktop background to be a picture of a concrete wall. Gotta make it feel like you're about to be executed by firing squad if you don't generate enough shareholder value.
And even there, they don't get no sunshine. the beach and the sunny islands in the background are reserved for the Epstein class. The salaried workers can stay in the cave.
As with a significant amount of seemingly innocuous expressions (in this case, a meme), you can often read the perspective and opinion of the poster. Hell, take my 3 posts. I take pride in giving, as well as defying laws; I am either a fan of immature toilet humour, or familiar with anal play and douching; and I am unemployed and my views on working are so dismal I'll have to lose significantly more self-pride before ever attempting to be employed in 99% of jobs. Psychoanalysis goes deeper; the way I described my posts just now can tell yet more about me

Except that people are also visiting it for real (this article posted a couple of days ago):

Stumbled upon it…. Walked through the arch and went, hrmm seems familiar.
Nz is worth the trip if you can, it’s like another world.

I already live in NZ 😆
We had to travel to Iceland to find something that was sufficiently more impressive than what we have at home.
Funnily, a lot of people thought that the pictured Wharariki Beach was actually the (somewhat) similar looking Cathedral Cove, half the country away.
I haven't actually seen the former in person, but it's quite a trek from civilisation. Someday.

Don't harsh waikato, there's plenty of incredible stuff there. The waterfalls, volcanic areas, glow-worm caves, and Hamilton.

That's unpossible, New Zeland doesn't exist.

I just got a new work computer and finally made the jump to Linux. It's been two weeks now and I just love it! So I guess what I'm trying to say is...

Not at 01:28 i hope ☠️

It's probably an American computer at 13:28. Everyone knows only Linux users are up at 01:28.

The lack of a leading 0 gives it away (with month–date formatting lending circumstantial evidence).
Agrivar@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 29d
When you party on the beach being up at 1:28 is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I'm using Manjaro Linux, I'm going to the mountains instead.

EndeavourOS here, default wallpaper is SPACE

I've long since moved away from Manjaro, but damn it if I don't still have a mountain wallpaper.

You seem to think no one lives near beaches, that they're only vacation destinations.
