And to think that I used to have to put creep-off-putting things in my bio. I'm glad that the filtering out now happens on their end.

To all the people not in Central Europe time zone: this your friendly drunk European

I enjoyed it. I really did. Having said that, I wouldn't call it worth a year's commitment to a subscription service.

that's brutal. my cat is also a picky eater on top of having a picky gut. I'm considering begging Purina to make soup for cats that's not just the Felix sub-brand, but also the Gourmet one.

I find it kind of funny that there are people who are awake and sober as it is still daytime for them, and I'm the drunk European in their replies :D

Oh no, don't start overthinking it! :D Just keep it simple, it works as is. And lack of effort cannot be underestimated, it's like the third ingredient.

Tbh, the fact that mayo is one of the two key ingredients, and you specifically mentioned Hellmann's, that was going to catch my attention regardless. And I suppose I'm ready to admit that I have secretly liked Brussels sprouts for a long time.

I don't have any children nor a steamer, so I can't make this one quite right. But when I think about the taste combo in my head, this does sound truly amazing. I'm considering getting a steamer now.

I recently had a conversation like this -
Me: .. and I have a cat.
Them: I don't believe you, you don't have any scratches on your hands!
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: I actually spent a lot of time and energy teaching my cat when she was a kitten to not consider human hands as a toy.

Umm. What? What did I just read? And they expected what now?
Sighs in European (which I presume “feels longer and louder” as per the article).

This makes me think of kittens. As in, when you take in a young kitto, you need to teach it not just where the litterbox is, but also how to cuddle and bond with yourself (and other household members if any). A neglected kitten with grow up as a feral cat. I think we as humans are not that different

did you ever want a real friend
not just a fake girlfriend
I’d ask: “Have you met me before?”
why would I even consider offering
but then I stop and stay still
you have never seen me in your life
just the toy you wanted projected on me
and I am sorry for leaving

I fully understand what the kids these days are wearing. They’ve brought back good ol’ 80s / 90s goth vs punk vs rapper looks.
The part I don’t understand is - why?

Sometimes one just wants a little cheerful exchange about the weather or something equally local, affecting, yet non offensive with the local shopkeeper to keep believing that not all hope in humanity is lost.

Wait. So they are announcing a rollback as a new feature?

It _is_ a thing that people think. It is also a thing that corporations tell their employees to do to.

Not that working at the post office is somehow bad or demeaning, no. I'm saying that a lot of people won't even try because of the "no talent", and then go on feeling empty doing something that doesn't feel precious. Instead of putting in the practice and work to do the thing that does feel good

It also works on potential artist level. People assume it's a "talent", not all the hard work and practice that made someone else good at e.g. painting. So, if they can't magically paint the most beautiful landscape on the first try, they decide they have no talent and go to work in the post office.

I think they should have a credit card. With a limit, huge rates, and enormous late payment fees. It should already be in debt as well. Just so it's impossible to pay it off given the new income levels.

When my cat snores, it can sound pretty scary :D I mean, Furfur is a total cuddleball cutesie, but she's also substantial. If she snores, she Snores. It's a proper GrRRshshshRhrhshshrhrhshrhsh, Raawr, GrshshRRRshshsh etc.

I think I can save myself here with some Gm7 or something along those lines. And Gm7 should be easy to work with, one hopes.

I would love to have my own bar, but only if I could afford for it to consistently be at a loss. Which, reality considering, simply impossible. To run a bar that also needs to make a profit - no thank you, that's not the bar I want.

Best thing about Easter - all the discounted chocolates and nice delis right after.
