No, thanks, I’ll pass. I hate tongue anywhere near my clit. Different strokes for different folks ;P

I personally don’t use Idealo, but I’ve seen it. Good heads-up.

Gonna guess Idealo and Geizhals. They don’t cover everything, but they’re pretty decent, yeah.

I worked in customer support/sales for the largest ISP in my country. We were always understaffed because it was a shit job, so the turnover was high. We were forced to sign overtime, weekends and holidays included. I’ll never forget this middle management asshole who enthusiastically attempted to convince me it’s totally worth it. He does it, too, and he’s always happy to see higher paycheck. At the end of the month that overtime amounted to ~€15-20 for me. Yeah, fun times. I was thrilled to kiss that job and its abusive management goodbye.

Wow, that’s crazy. I had exactly the same looking feral black cat for a day years ago. Unfortunately, she managed to escape somehow and I never saw her again. She was so terrified, she hid in one of my desk drawers. I wonder if I can find a photo.

Just reading all the activities you do makes my hypo, PCOS self crash, lol cries. I also have mysterious gut issues that caused me to be bed bound for a while. Tried to get back to cycling and my body just crashed. I try not to think about the time before all this, but it’s still depressing.

Good job on your progress, wish you all the best!

It’s also a thing in (parts of) Europe, too, unfortunately. Only college professors were paid decently. “Were” because I don’t have up-to-date info.

I’ve seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don’t use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la “I love USA”, and another had a sticker “0800-EAT-SHIT”. I’m pissed EU doesn’t have the balls to ban them altogether.

Not the US, but I have an acquaintance who is a “Christian”. She’s an immigrant. She goes to church with mostly nonwhite immigrants. She’s extremely racist, among other things. You can’t make that shit up 🤷🏻

7 years in another EU country for me.

My home country has continued to rapidly decline in QoL, so going back isn’t really in the cards. I don’t feel at home there at all, except for no language barrier and just knowing the culture and how to navigate it. But to be honest, I’ve always wanted to emigrate, I just hated the average backwards mentality.

I don’t exactly mind the country I live in, but the language barrier keeps things difficult. I had to learn the language in a short amount of time, but it caused a bad burnout, and all the progress went down the drain. Now between being employed and health and other life things, it looks like I’ll never actually learn the language. And the (family) history (kind of) repeats itself.

That is my setup. Plus VPN to home on phone.

Not to mention the work with Palantir, the company with an utterly unhinged, psycho CEO, very into killing people.

These heated products are okay for home useage. But my feet usually don’t warm up when walking outside in cold and these things aren’t very durable in that sense. Maybe I should just move closer to the equator. Kidding! I can’t handle heat either 😞

I have issues with keeping my feet and hands warm (they tend to be ice cold), so socks that could keep my feet warm would actually be magic 😭

It’s really quite depressing and infuriating. I’m finally financially in a good spot to afford better quality clothes. I want to buy something that’ll last me years and years. I don’t like to participate in fast fashion. So I looked up which brands people recommended. Turns out everyone’s in agreement that even the expensive stuff from previously well respected brands is now overpriced crap that falls apart within a year.

I’ve got clothes from 20 years ago, some even much older from my mom that holds up better than things I bought a year ago. I hate it, fuck late stage capitalism.

It’s definitely a stereotype for a reason. Briefly talked to a US or Canadian couple in their 40s-50s last year, they were traveling Europe. They were in slight disbelief that a driver wouldn’t take dollars/any other currency from a Chinese couple who had no Euros left on them. I wonder how it would go for me if I tried to pay in Euros in NA. Probably not great.

Kind of, but not really? Nano by default displays US English(?) keyboard bindings which are different to the keyboard I have, so I still have to have a cheat sheet open when I’m on a system with nano-only editor.

For me the only thing I look in new phones now is camera quality, since I only take photos and video with my phone. If that was upgradeable, it would be awesome. Plus, now even Android is getting the Apple treatment this year, everything is just getting shittier.

This is the more likely scenario for people who think they never had COVID. Unfortunately, from my understanding, even if asymptomatic you can still have lasting effects. Lovely, isn’t it.
