Sort of and also not. Not getting energy from food also means I have no energy for you know, existing.
So while I might not need to worry about getting fat, I’ve also nowhere to display not being fat.
I tend to sleep quite a lot. Image

Jokes on you I got some sort of undiagnosed malabsorption issues and won’t get fat even when I eat burgers and candy and alcohol day after day.

King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium.
described at the time
Hmm… I wonder when these…
Leopold II was the second king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, and the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908.
Oh that’s not too long ago. “Sole owner of the Congo Free State” sounds like a contradiction tbh

Okay and what happens nowadays?
I mean I’m not disagreeing, I was there as a teenager back then as well, I 'member. But what happens to them now?

I don’t think I’ve ever used or even heard the phrase… unfortunately…?
But “the pussy of a dick” would be something like “vitun kyrpä”, which is something I may have used once or twice or thrice or…
But it’s more like saying “you fucking dick”. “Vittu” is our “fuck” more or less, contextually, although if you take it literally it means a certain type of female reproductive organ, yeah. But then again if you take “fuck” literally it’s having sex.

I’m sure you were very good, but I doubt that you had that good a name memory as a five-year old.
I taught myself how to read as well, so I ain’t the dullest of pens either but somehow I just doubt you could’ve rattled off that many correct names and titles as a five-year old. Although, it might just be projection from my almost 40-year old weed-smoking soon-to-be-some-serious-memory-problem having ass. If so, apologies.

Can you understand that I see a fluffy animal I’d like to pet despite thinking it’s not immoral to eat them?
Because I don’t think you do. And if you want more people reducing the amount of (factory farmed) meat they eat and/or supporting vegan products, perhaps don’t paint eveyone who eats meat as a “someone only capable of seeing burgers and leather belts”.
I have a leather jacket. It’s older than me. It’s from the 70’s or perhaps even 60’s. It’s still in good condition because I take care of it. How many plastic (polyester) jackets have you gone through in the last 20 odd years? Because those hurt mother nature both directly and indirectly. How often do have you used an airplane? What’s your carbon footprint? Despite me eating meat, I guarantee mine is lower than yours.
But that’s okay, because you’re not capable of equating indirect harm to anything you contribute to, no, it’s only the evil “carnists” who just can’t be nice to animals or even ever really feel happiness from the gut wrenching hunger to consume animal flesh they must be suffering from all the time.

Oh well, it’s still a bit cheaper than here, relatively.
But I remberer lots of people saying how they were gonna quit once packs hit 5€. And at the time it felt like something crazy that would never happen, and packs cost like 3 or at most 4€ then.
I mean yeah, I don’t consume as much cigarettes nowadays, in fact none, but am still a smoker as I don’t like smoking weed without tobacco, but I also don’t like smoking tobacco without weed.
My opinion is just that vice taxes are shit, because while there might be an argument made, it disproportionately affects people of different income. What’s a pack of ciggies tripling their price to someone with high and stable income? Nothing. What is it to the lowest classes? With minimum wage back in idk say 2005 you only needed to work like 15-20min to earn enough for ciggies, now it’s definitely more than an hour. And that’s not counting income taxation etc, just from gross pay.

Honestly it’s weird how adamant people are there have always been people who solely preferred one sex over the other. While it’s generally true for modern society, people wouldn’t have even understood what you mean in ancient times by “sexual orientation”, really. I mean you could obviously explain it and people could answer to a degree, but…
Well, think of this, we have left and right in our languages. We all know those are relative terms. My left and your left are different, most of the time. Anyway, there exists a tribe who don’t have relative words for directions, and they only use cardinal directions, all the time. As in if they’re hanging a painting, they’d say “no, no, a bit to the north” instead of “left”. On a tangent, it makes them very much immune to getting lost as they have incredible sense of direction for that reason. My point being that to us it’s simple that you just use left and right, why wouldn’t you, when people know what it means and it’s simple. So why doesn’t that tribe use them? Idk, it’s just not in their culture. Just like such strict classifications of sexual orientation weren’t much of a thing in ancient and prehistoric times.

Cornelius: Yeah, don’t worry, Bill, Lucius will look after you.
Lucius: Shut up, Cornelius!
Bill: Ahh, Lucius, erm, right, listen there’s, erm, something I should explain.
Lucius: What?
Bill: This is probably just a really difficult idea. I don’t like men that way.
Lucius: What? Not ever?
Bill: Nah, not ever. Only women.
Nah…not ever.
Lucius: Oh. Alright, yeah, I’ve got it. You’re like Vitus then.
Bill: What?
Lucius: He only likes men.
Vitus: Some men. Better looking men than you, Lucius.
Lucius: I don’t think it’s narrow-minded, I think it’s fine. You know what you like.
Bill: And you like both?
Lucius: I’m just ordinary, I like men and women.

Where? In EU and Australia at least tobacco is taxed to high heaven and costs like 10+ western money units (take whichever, dollar or euro, still roughly applies) a pack/pouch
I pay 14.30€ for a 30g pouch of rolling tobacco. And it’s probably more expensive the next time I buy because the pack before that was 13.50€. There’s a few price-hikes every year.

“No. They aren’t. You can only keep them for eggs in some places.”
I call bullshit.
There is no U.S. state where it is illegal to kill your own chickens or where you are restricted solely to keeping them for eggs. While California has strict humane slaughter laws ( California Humane Slaughter Act) and various localities have zoning restrictions, home slaughter for personal consumption is generally legal throughout the United States, provided it is done humanely

Literally everything in Africa has evolved to run away from humans, because when animals hear human speech and don’t run away they get eaten or domesticated.
When you look at a map of domesticated animals origins, not a single one comes from Africa. All the animals there know what humans are like no matter how we try fooling them.

- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 2 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong, cash does have more mistakes, but it evens out at the end, since you usually make mistakes both ways. Cash is riskier, yeah. But it’s also a lot cheaper depending on what the services and machines cost.
I remember a time when people were hesitant to use cards for small payments, and some places wouldn’t take them for small purchases.
Then cards became more popular and in recent years cash has been going away at least here, when it used to be that you had to be able to take cash.
But yeah mistakes happen with cards as well. They’re just way harder to fix from the client end. (Client as in the company/person using a card machine to charge someone something.)
But yeah it’s marginally easier to just take card payments but you have to keep the receipts from those as well just like you need to keep cash so there’s not that much of a difference in very small scales. (Like driving a taxi.) The bigger the scale the more it matters.

I think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.
Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.
I can’t say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I’m the same age roughly so it wasn’t weird for me but it was weird that people did it.
And still do.

Yeah I’ve had mine for roughly the same time. It’s kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you’ve climbed under the covers.
And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.
Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn’t probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I’m in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it’s based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can “see” the object moving from the signal strength changes.
Oh apparently to use it myself I’d need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.
