It's fake but a pretty damn good one.

No, they use the toilet.

I wouldn't spend too much time looking for a lable to apply to yourself because you're probably not going to find one that perfectly fits. Reality is way too complex to be neatly categorized like that.

Sexual and romantic interests doesn't need to match. This has probably more to do with the dom & sub dynamic than about being gay. It's a kind of a mismatch between how you feel and what you think is expected from you based on your gender.

I was in the same situation at your age. I'm just as confused 15 years later but I've stopped fighting it. I like what I like and I don't need to explain it. Most people deal with stuff like this but they just keep it hidden to avoid judgement. You wouldn't believe how many comments I get online starting with "I'm not gay but.."

The Finnish version of Yle is the only news publisher I follow and it is tax payer fumded and ad free. It's kind of a Finnish BBC. It's not unbiased but broadly speaking their journalism is of quite high quality. It's not of much use for people not from Finland but just an example that such thing can be done.

This isn't about how the consumer can get paid content for free but about how the creator can sustain the production of that content when hardly anyone is willing to pay for it.

No, insider trading is illegal in most countries. This isn't a new rule - just a reminder of an existing one.

No, I turned it off the day I bought my truck and its been off since. The only form of pure audio media I consume are podcasts. I rarely even listen to music.

Yeah perfectly normal. Vatasen = Vatanen's, Vataselle = to Vatanen, Vataselta = from Vatanen, Vatasessa = in Vatanen, and so on. You can do that with any word pretty much.

It's a flexible language. I don't envy the ones trying to learn it.

Most people would prefer it to be both free and ad-free and just make it work somehow. Doesn't matter how - use magic or whatever.

Around six. I feel like it's enough but it probably isn't.

It wasn't designed to outrun the police and it didn't. It got stuck and the driver killed himself. They did manage to destroy half of the town though.

 

I want to curate my feed to mostly just contain serious people. Doesn't matter whether I agree with their views or not - it's all about how those views are expressed. So many people on social media are just thrilled to have a megaphone and the ability to make noise. I don't like noise.

For example, right now there are people who opened the thread just because I put "AI" in the title and they can't wait to share their views about AI in the comments as if it's meaningfully relevant to what I'm saying. They know what I mean, but you can't just miss an opportunity to score a few points dunking on AI, can you?

Whatever gene makes people want to shout these thought-terminating clichés, upvote others who do it, and find some sense of belonging from it is clearly missing from me. I'd rather just not even hear about it - it's extremely exhausting and has never achieved anything worthwhile.

It doesn't really matter whether most people like the smell of your farts or not - you're still poisoning the air.

 

Applies to many other colors as well. I "understand" why that is but it hurts my brain to think about.

 

Edit:

The next day. Same spot - different tools and cup.

 

Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.

I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.

 

Also built a bridge in hopes of making the aforementioned trail marginally less miserable.

 

I was thinking that since most people here left Reddit for whatever reason - despite it being inconvenient - then having strong principles and actually sticking to them might be a common theme among the userbase here.

 

I already have a laundry basket but these were FREE. I also found a free bucket last week.

It's quite amazing that there's a place full of free things that you can just take when no one is looking.

 

There's a steep hill right behind me here so this "figure" just appeared there in front of me as I climbed it up.

I even paid extra to get the longer ones.

 

The sign says "Pet cart - Your friend is warmly welcome here as well."

All the pictures are from this same store.

 

Building 36 identical shelving brackets wasn't particularly interesting I must say. Thankfully I had the foresight to set up jigs for cutting and assembling the pieces.

Pats on the back to whoever knows what these poles are for.
