response to recent trends rule

It's a valid criticism, I'm just wondering where 90% of those folks criticizing were the last 10 years, when it would have also been a valid criticism against her, but only a select group of people called it out and I recall precisely zero memes on this specific topic. Curious, that this has only become a mainstream meme now that there is a defamation campaign actively being conducted against her by right wing media.

Anon finds paradise

Loads of jobs would be fun like this, if you ignore there is fierce competition leading to loads of scheduling pressure, bad pay, no benefits, existential fears, health implications...

I guess those professions really would be nice if you're already set for life and just do it for fun, taking only the best jobs, only doing it for 6-8 hours a day max and have days off... generally not giving too much of a fuck.

Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside.

That's a perfectly normal number for any home that isn't very new and perfectly insulated.

My 37sqm appartment needs approximately 5000 kWh in natural gas per year, 876 kWh last December, so 28 kWh per day on average. The building is admittedly old and not perfectly insulated but it's also not a log cabin out in the open in Finland, but instead a flat enclosed within 3 other flats in the middle of cosy, never below -8C Germany.

21 kWh in a log cabin in Finnland actually seemed pretty low to me. It's sort of obvious OP is using a heat pump and the cabin must really be absolutely tiny.

What company that sells bottled water processes it themselves? The two types I know are syphoning it from a spring and those (at least where I'm from) are not allowed to process it and still call it "from spring XYZ"... and those who just fill up tap water somewhere where it can pass as mineral water and then transport it over the globe.

I'm looking at unadulterated communism here and I hate it! Remove the green and the tracks and let honest working people park their lifted F 350 to go grocery shopping and bring little Braendin to school!

It isn't just a question, it's straight up loaded with implications, most blatant one being to specifically stress 'adults' twice, as if it wasn't a question to you if it were children.

People watch people playing sports, telling jokes or funny stories, acting drama, dancing... playing games fits that list so seamlessly that I can't help but wonder wtf is wrong with someone asking why people would do it. It's blatantly obvious loads of people like watching something they find cool and isn't too mentally engaging, to wind down.

Could Taylor Swift tilt Florida blue? It’s Democrats’ wildest dream.

I’m not a Swiftie

when Midnights held all ten of the Billboard top 10 slots, and people were talking about it, I decided to listen to it

music isn’t amazing or anything but her lyrics are

resonated with me

a man in my thirties

still listen to some of the songs on it on occasion

Are you me?? Like I genuinely could've written this drunk and forgot. That's literally exactly what I did with that album and how I feel about it.

I listened to it several times for a month even, so much that I got a good chuckle when Spotify informed me in the yearly review that Taylor Swift was my most played artist in 22, which is admittedly easy when all you hear normally is radio stations and playlists with various artists. Still, hilarious to see her on top of my usual metalcore bands.

Some lyrics still randomly pop into my mind these days and then I have that song stuck in my head for a while. I then sometimes put it on while cooking. It's fun music to sing loudly and awkwardly to when you are alone, lol.

And compared to dinner?

I'm asking because if I was "strapped for cash" I'd always go for cooking something rice or potato based myself, rather than buying already processed and packaged food, a most likely overpriced brand no less!
