  • The thing is, when you live in an unhealthy manner, you won’t just live with minor symptoms of it, before your body just has enough and dies immediately. You will have to face the long time consequences for decades. If you decide to do so at the age of 17 or 20, and find a romantic partner later, you might see things differently by the time you notice how your health degraded.

    I’m obviously not trying to get you to live healthy - you do you. But in my experience, not caring about your future self will just make it even harder when it becomes your present self - and on top of that global recession, famine, wars, diseases and whatnot now you will also have to deal with an achy foot, constant coughing or crippling depression. For a long time.





  • Your brain sometimes just leaves a placeholder and makes itself believe it was the real shit. Once I had a dream of a hilarious joke. I even laughed hard in my dream. I woke up, tried to remember the words immediately and it was gibberish.

    It does work sometimes, but there’s a good chance that you just had a dream about placeholder for one weird song, placeholder for another weird song and placeholder for mix, and the illusion just worked.

    OR we’re in an alternate universe where the famous composer of the millenium doesn’t actually remember that visionary song, loses motivation and becomes an accountant. It’s about fifty-fifty.


  • I was fine with it back when it was just one ad that you could skip.

    I was fine with it back when it was just two ads that you could skip.

    I was fine with it back when it was just two ads, and you could skip one, and the other was 5 seconds long. 10 was a stretch, but I’m patient.

    Without an adblocker, now it’s playing an unskippable, 10+ seconds long ad at the start AND at the end. Some ads are as long as 20 seconds. If the video is long enough, it dares to abruptly play an ad right in the middle. You can’t skip that one, either. We’re back to television content-to-ad ratios - the exact thing I was happy to dump once there was enough content on YouTube. I was patient. That wasn’t enough for them. They can suck a beehive.

    WOW. When the app popped up your comment, I saw the first sentence and I tried to guess which of my comments it was a response to. Then I went like “no way”.

    No matter how hard you try to come up with some surrealist bullshit, chances are someone had thought of the same and went like “this is a great idea”.







  • Oh, we’re past that. In 2022 they made restrictions on wood cutting more lax, allowing felling of trees in previously protected areas. It caused pretty bad health issues in the winter in smaller towns, especially in valleys where the chimney smoke can’t even leave the area.

    So way into the 21st century, the government actually promoted heating with wood (partly from previously protected areas), and the next year when solar power gained some popularity, they made it harder and more expensive/less profitable to install solar panels and connect them to the grid. All this shortly after their propaganda slogan “Hungary is going forward, not backward”.
