The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.

As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.

Most Europeans have one, max 2 cars per household. A fuckton of Europeans also go on holiday with their cars once or twice a year.

One car needs to work for most use cases. It’s fine if you have more cars than people in the house that one of them is a 100 mile range commuter, but a different kettle of fish if the same car needs to do an 800+ mile trip to the Mediterranean in summer and a 500 mile ski trip in winter.

A quarrel about a Pokémon gym gone too far.

Dude. We had a friend on holiday in northern Germany who wanted to visit us in Maastricht. Even though she was in fucking Germany, it was twice as fast to get to the border, take a bus to Groningen and then cross the Netherlands than to use the DB to Aachen.

Another thing. The Dutch trains that are known to have many transfer passengers stop on the same platform, so you only need to cross the platform. In Germany your train arrives on Gleis 5, your next train on Gleis 16. Oh no, 13. Woops we changed it again haha.

You are right it went downhill, but DB is on another level of skullfuckery.

I’ve read once that eating iron won’t do anything for your iron intake, but for example sticking some rusty nails through an apple for a while and then eating the apple would.

I’m a natural sprinter. Very fast on short distances. But the endless slog from one shop to the next, with no respite, no idea when it will end. When we come home I’m dead tired and empty. She’s dead tired and full.

Well that’s just cats in general. Vindictive little bastards.

Until you get overtaken at 1cm distance by some assfuck on a speed pedelec

Today, learn and do read.

As usual this has become yet another tribal issue where you either defend the car or defend walking and biking.

You can do both without your head exploding. I know. Shocker.

Death by a thousand cuts though. I had to sit a co-worker down and go over his finances because he never learnt at home or school. The amount of €10-25 monthly subscriptions this guy had meant he spent about €500 per month on those. On top of buying everything on payments because he never has any savings.

It’s another example of making use of the flawed human psyche which can’t keep track of the little things.

Because they feel that trying to reason with Israel has zero effect.

Honestly, how much TV can someone watch before it’s just a blur of all same same but different movies, series and whatnot?

Everyone is different though, for example I can’t for the life of me watch any series to completion. Sometimes not even the first episode. But I can lose hours trawling through all I can find on Sphagnum moss.

You are sold escapism, because you can’t escape.

Hey. You are the one reducing what I’m saying as a sweeping all encompassing statement about someone’s humanity.

I’m saying that not being bothered to say hi and bye doesn’t make you an introvert. An introvert is someone being comfortable with his inner self and preferring deeper contact with few than being a beacon of energy in a crowd.

If you can’t be bothered saying hi to a stranger, of course you are still human. It’s just not necessarily a trait of an introvert. Its Part of another character trait or the state of mind you’re in.

You might be more than introvert. You can be shy, anxious, anti-social. A grumpy curmudgeon. All things extroverted people can also be.

Also saying hi and bye or an acknowledging nod are not small talk.

For a few items, sure. But even I, a rabid introvert, will seek out a cashier for my weekly shopping. To say hello and goodbye. You all forget to be human beings. Stop making being InTrOvErT yet another singular form of personal identity.

While the influence from the elite is undeniable, I also hope you don’t subscribe to the idea of the noble savage.

The Clintons also laid the groundwork for scaling up the prison population to boost slave labour and poors suppression.

Something the republicans gladly inherited.

No script is not an easy tool. By default, it breaks 99% of websites. It has become a game for me though to approve the lowest amount of scripts to make a site run, but I realize this is definitely not for everyone.
