I know it’s a meme com, but they really aren’t. In this case it’s more about humans being “dumb”. They try to apply the same methodology they use with dogs to cats. And that in itself is dumb. There are studies out there that treat cats as cats and yield actual results.
Another thing is there’s much, much more funding for dog research simply because dogs are far more useful to humans than cats. E.g. guide dogs for blind people, other service dogs, bomb sniffer dogs, rescue dogs, etc.
Can’t tell if joke about slop or if you think this is slopgen. What a timeline…
Not really deserved 😂 (For more info see my other comment in this thread.)
I can confirm that for Croatia it’s accurate to a point. At the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century two separate towns had an outbreak of syphilis, and therefore the disease was named after these two places locally. From my understanding, in both cases the disease was mostly transmitted due to poor hygiene, and not much through sexual contact. In the second town, aside from the aforementioned, a bunch of kids and their families were infected because the local doctor vaccinated the kids against pox using materials from an infected child, unintentionally.
But otherwise for the most part syphilis was called Gallic disease.
I personally don’t use Idealo, but I’ve seen it. Good heads-up.
Gonna guess Idealo and Geizhals. They don’t cover everything, but they’re pretty decent, yeah.
I worked in customer support/sales for the largest ISP in my country. We were always understaffed because it was a shit job, so the turnover was high. We were forced to sign overtime, weekends and holidays included. I’ll never forget this middle management asshole who enthusiastically attempted to convince me it’s totally worth it. He does it, too, and he’s always happy to see higher paycheck. At the end of the month that overtime amounted to ~€15-20 for me. Yeah, fun times. I was thrilled to kiss that job and its abusive management goodbye.
Obviously a different thing, but your comment unlocked a several decades old memory about my mom tying the ends of my duvet to the bed frame, because I would kick it off the bed while asleep. Wow, that memory was pulled from some very dusty and almost forgotten part of my brain, lol.
Just reading all the activities you do makes my hypo, PCOS self crash, lol cries. I also have mysterious gut issues that caused me to be bed bound for a while. Tried to get back to cycling and my body just crashed. I try not to think about the time before all this, but it’s still depressing.
Good job on your progress, wish you all the best!
I’ve seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don’t use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la “I love USA”, and another had a sticker “0800-EAT-SHIT”. I’m pissed EU doesn’t have the balls to ban them altogether.
Username doesn’t check out.
7 years in another EU country for me.
My home country has continued to rapidly decline in QoL, so going back isn’t really in the cards. I don’t feel at home there at all, except for no language barrier and just knowing the culture and how to navigate it. But to be honest, I’ve always wanted to emigrate, I just hated the average backwards mentality.
I don’t exactly mind the country I live in, but the language barrier keeps things difficult. I had to learn the language in a short amount of time, but it caused a bad burnout, and all the progress went down the drain. Now between being employed and health and other life things, it looks like I’ll never actually learn the language. And the (family) history (kind of) repeats itself.
That is my setup. Plus VPN to home on phone.
Damn, it’s just a name in my region, never seen it in that light 😂
Funny enough, I recently had an upper endoscopy under sedation. I woke up feeling very well rested after some 40 minutes. Genuinely the best sleep in years, lol.
I feel you. The last time I had proper sleep was a decade ago. I don’t remember what’s it like to wake up rested.
It’s really quite depressing and infuriating. I’m finally financially in a good spot to afford better quality clothes. I want to buy something that’ll last me years and years. I don’t like to participate in fast fashion. So I looked up which brands people recommended. Turns out everyone’s in agreement that even the expensive stuff from previously well respected brands is now overpriced crap that falls apart within a year.
I’ve got clothes from 20 years ago, some even much older from my mom that holds up better than things I bought a year ago. I hate it, fuck late stage capitalism.
To expand a bit, it comes from a Proto-Slavic word which was used for foreigners in general, but mostly to refer to Germans. It’s also why most (all?) Slavic languages have basically the same word for German(s)/Germany, similar-sounding to the modern Russian one.
In this case it would be an intolerance, and those you really do have to find on your own, unfortunately. And figuring it out can be extremely difficult.
And then we have mink trained to exterminate rats together with dogs. That might be the most entertaining way of rat extermination to watch.
