Sure, somewhen like 7000bc at least
Jokes aside, I do believe in a better future. As bleak as everything looks, I strongly want to believe that all the amazing people I’ve met who want change can achieve it. Even if chances aren’t great, I do believe it is possible. After all, what life is left inside you if you decide to not have hope?

I love this statue! It’s in Novosibirsk. I’ve always wanted to go there and see it in real life. Once the war is finally over and Russia is free again I’ll pay a visit to that little rodent.

We’re legally entitled to 10 days paid sick leave
Sorry but still not good enough. I don’t plan out when I am going to be sick in the coming year or how many days it’ll take me.

It’s crazy how orange gave your cat PTSD. I think cats are dichromatic, they see blue and yellow. But orange is weird because of the red part of the color. I guess they still can differentiate?
- Comment on cats are so silly 3 weeks ago:
We had a cat that loved yellow food. I realize cats don’t see colors the way we do which made it all the more confusing. Honeydew melon? Yeah. Cantaloupe? Nah. Water melon? You crazy? Yellow bell pepper? Go ahead. Red bell pepper? Fuck off. It loved corn. And potatoes. And once it went straight for the yellow M&M when they spilled on the floor. That cat had a severe deficiency of yellow.

Wait what? Really? I didn’t know they worked that way. I ended up biting tiny pieces off and chewing them (often together with a normal gum) because I couldn’t handle their strength.
- Comment on Eep 4 weeks ago:
I am surprised that a lot of people think it would be exhausting to act differently around different people. Isn’t it just an automatic vibe thing that happens naturally? I have different interests and different personality traits and which ones show stronger absolutely depends on the person I am talking with. It’s literally easier to not be the same one size fits all person around everyone. I also wouldn’t call it disingenuous, I am not hiding anything, I just enjoy different kinds of people and interactions naturally adjust. It would be really boring and antisocial to only talk about the same stuff the same way with everyone.
- Comment on Maybe one day 4 weeks ago:
So I grew up in a country where alcohol is legal from age 16 and parents often allow a drink to their kids even earlier (I’ve seen 12 year olds with their non-trash parents at a beer tent with a beer-lemonade-mix. Bavarian people man).
So one evening my mom gave me a small glass of champagne and somehow put a small shot of vodka inside. I was probably 15.
The next day I woke up at 9:30 am, as early as never on a weekend, feeling well rested, and my chronic headache was gone. I was flabbergasted. My mom was flabbergasted.
Needless to say that memory of a perfect morning might have partly fueled my alcohol problem later on

There are large chunks of it that are really repetitive and boring, just things like the number of goats and chickens owned by so and so.
That honestly sounds like the exposition of every character in a Wes Anderson movie

Wait what does the jacket you choose have to do with backpacks?
- Comment on Heave-ho! 5 weeks ago:
Mandatory mention that cup size means nothing without the band size.
A C cup with a 70 cm band is much smaller in volume than a C cup with a 90 cm band. 70G and 90C have equivalent breast volume (if you go with A, B C, D, E, F, G as nomenclature).
Which is especially annoying because as a 70G you still get the industrial support model while you’d be fine with a turtle dove model. And if you have a band width below 70 you are absolutely fucked, although a lot of petite women would do better in 65.
- Comment on I love science 1 month ago:
I have a similar issue with the word research. Do your own research - wtf. Research is either standing in the lab and actually experimenting, or conducting (clinical) studies, or at the very least an extensive literature research that even for a paper takes days (more like weeks and months) and a lot of knowledge on the field as well as methods for literature research in this sphere to be conducted properly. I absolutely don’t want you to do your own research about my field of study. You probably have a job and don’t want to go to university for 6 years to understand my niche.

I did mean the distance between earth and moon, thanks for correcting!
- Comment on Sea Level 2 months ago:
Honestly, whenever I think about this, I get my tinfoil hat moment. Life being created by statistical probability and chance, well ok. Life being created and people with conscientiousness rising up at exactly the time this one planet has this perfect orbital distance - give me that tinfoil.

Nooo :( I hope you’ll get back on track. Setbacks are ok. It took me about 5 years to get sober once I started trying.

- Comment on Is laying on your stomach every once in a while good for you? 2 months ago:
How on earth are you reading while lying on your stomach??
Anecdotally, I had a quenching desire to lie on my stomach after giving birth. Like, I was exhausted and sleep deprived and you could have told me that this would kill me and I’d still sleep on my stomach in the hospital. I later looked it up and apparently lying on your stomach helps with the back formation of the uterus.

I assumed it was because it helps develop fine motor skills. Also bright colors and contrasts are a visual stimulant.

You wouldn’t believe how surprised I was that you could just buy them as a regular person. Somehow it felt like only doctors are allowed to have these. You can’t have that at home.
Well, we do now, but it feels wrong.
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 2 months ago:
Can I suggest putting some frozen kale or spinach in it as well? For extra veggies and taste. We basically cook that every week and I love it. Granted, I put a tad more effort into it (stir fry onion and garlic and tomato paste before I add rice, lentils, greens and broth) but it’s basically the same.
Also try adding soy sauce, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Just a drop but it does wonders. Yeast flakes are also great.
- Comment on Insulin 2 months ago:
I am so, so sorry about your loss. I’m glad to hear that you were able to feel a beacon of hope last year, and that this painting was a way for you to cling on to it and feel it a little longer. I hope you find a way to keep holding on to it, and through that hope find the courage to not give up and try to support change instead whenever you can and have the strength and energy to do so. But I can’t even imagine how hard that must be. And most of all, carry the love you had for your mom in your heart despite the grief, and the disgust and hate for the system that led to her demise quicker than it had to be.
I hope you don’t mind if I save that picture of yours.

Making an AI meme of Luigi as a Saint is one thing.
Making a painting and having it casually displayed in your room is a whole other level.
Also, I can’t believe it’s already been a year.
