Haha, I took this post as motivation to finally use up those frozen bananas I had. Now I have banana bread muffins in my freezer instead. It’s a good upgrade if you ask me.

Make banana bread for friends or neighbors?

The orange cat stereotype is just too true.

Europe is going down the drain copying all the worst parts of US culture: anti-woke culture war bullshit, voting for increasingly fascist parties, obsession with individual wealth and status symbols (I.e. big trucks)… I wish there was a way to stop it, but it seems everyone is either participating or just shrugging their shoulders. At this point, I’m just glad I don’t have kids who will have to live in this reality.

Oof, this post just reminded me that I am getting quite old.

It’s nice when you’re wearing tight pants/ trousers. With a thong, there’s less chance of underwear bunching up and causing extra wrinkles and lines on the outer layer.

Alrighty then 👍

I think exercise is helpful to everyone who experiences stressful or frustrating situations regularly. Our bodies are still built for fight or flight responses, and physical exertion helps get rid of that stress response.

Not to be pedantic, but cats are mesopredators.

I thought that it was the opposite even, and that walking barefoot from time to time strengthens certain parts of your feet and legs that would otherwise be underused.

Yeah sure. Maybe you could make the argument that humans should leave stuff like that for other scavengers who need the nutrients to survive, and instead opt for plant foods. But at those edge scenarios you would then also have to take into account the impact that plant agriculture has on wildlife. It’s quite possible that scavenging and gathering is the most vegan option, but seeing how it’s neither viable for a lot of people nor something that often comes up in daily life, it’s easier to just generalize vegan food as plant based.

I think that may have been a joke.

This is the stuff that SCP’s are made of.

I’m not gonna dox myself here bg linking my adress, but rest assured: I have been living in apartments all my adult life, and it’s been fine. The problems you describe are not inherent to apartments but rather the way landlords handle things. With better regulations and organizations that help renters assert their rights, it can be a good way to house people.

Yes, occasionally hearing your neighbors is just as inhumane as having no shelter, water and heating.

I play heroes of the storm vs AI. It’s pretty fun.

Just write off the day and start again tomorrow. Maybe set a bit lower calorie goals for the next couple of weeks.

Imagine someone who has his mouth wide open, tongue sticking up toward the roof of jis mouth, with his head tilted back as I screaming to the sky. You see the tongue and mouth from below due to perspective, as well as head tilt.

Ugh this thread makes me upset. I have a contract for 18 hrs per week and you bet your ass I’m really working 99% of the time that I’m clocked in. And then people ask me why I don’t work more hours, but looking at these comments it seems I’m actually right on par with other people who get paid for 30-40 hours per week, when it comes to productive time spent.

Those signs are the same at all German train stations, and lots of cities have a nordstadt. Could be anywhere really.
