Lol, not sold in my country but that would be great :D

Once my memory starts to go, I want to be sat down in front of a (cooked) frozen pizza, outside if summer, and once I’m 3/4 done with the pizza, I want someone shoot me in the head from behind. (.22 is enough if not shot “straight”, nothing fancy needed.)

No funeral, just burn me and dumb the remains into the river I grew up next to. Or heck, unmarked grave in the forest is okay too, don’t know how shitty this world turns.

I always giggle and point at those!

At least they give a local (or whatever it’s in English) for when you get the implant… I had one (3 year one) for like 2 years and 2 months. Had no issues until I hit the 2 years mark, after that started having bad, bad side-effects. And it took the 2 months to get it removed… It was hell. But it was also alright for the 2 years and it healed very fast and well. Kinda recommend it, but yeah, it won’t last the “promised” time and removal can be a hassle depending the healthcare systems.

Decided to not get anything hormonal for now, and boy is my body messed up after about 10 years of hormones… I guess it’ll get better within a year. Now I just gotta listen all the nurses and doctors panic and pressure me back into hormones, I guess they really are afraid of some latex lol. (Waiting for a vasectomy for the partner.)

If I only count the people who treated me with respect, cared for my safety and stopped when caused pain, I’d say… one.

I don’t see EVs ever becoming good for everywhere. Here it usually gets as low as -20 to -45 degrees in Celcius during winter so you’d need a heated garage at your home and another at your workplace to have an EV work well, or hell, even start. With an older car, you can just take the battery indoors for the night and pop it back in the morning and be on your way. And having a heated garage (and the cost of building EV’s battery, building the car, shipping it) is already worse for the environment, so no, it will never work here.

Just developt the gas (gas as in gas, not benzin or diesel) and use them here, EV’s where it’s warmer all year around.

And no, fuck them Chinese spyware cars. And other spyware cars. Put the cameras up your ass.

I think fewer bands/artists are making even full length albums these days, thematic or not… At least in my country. The one big recording studio also owns the radio channels, tv channels and news sites, so they got the whole package. No point in wasting money doing an album… Singles here and there. It’s changed a lot, the whole culture.

Not sure, but at least I am sober!

I don’t think broiler bones last a week in ground. I have accidentally even eaten a few (don’t ask, was stoned) and didn’t get any issues. Still don’t recommend anyone trying.

I eat meat so rarely I haven’t checked the prices recently, but sounds very possible here too since they’re importing cheap pork from neighboring country while chicken is still grown here…

I think the store tomato sauce is perfectly fine, especially since it saves time. I do it from scratch, or from scratch-er really, just to save few more cents hah. I should learn to use olives and capers… Maybe for the next one! Pressure cooker would be handy too, but I already have a blender and an airfryer and there is only so much closet space, you know?

Thanks also! :)

I grew up eating chicken (broiler) about 2-3 times a week. Once at home, once or twice at school lunch. That adds up. In my country, the amount of chicken (broiler) people eat keeps raising, where as pork and beef lowers. This is mainly because of price, and bit of because people are starting to learn about the pollution and also because people here still think that birds or fish don’t feel pain, where pigs and cows do.

But few years ago, when I worked in a elder home’s kitchen, I learned that the elders Did Not Eat Chicken. Like really, didn’t eat it. They would eat it, but if someone, me or the nurses, said that it’s chicken, they would stop and only eat the veggies and potatoes/rice around the meal. Some nurses told me to just call it pork or fish, but it felt unethical to lie… They really should have just served other protein…

I’m bad at recipes, I usually just throw some stuff in and add some spices, more if needed after tasting. This is fast in terms of cooking time, but takes some chopping. For two people, this makes 2-3 dinners or 2 dinners and 1 set of leftover oven breads. (Put the leftover sauve over bread slices, add some cheese, throw into oven until they look delish.)

Recent favorite; pasta with tomato sauce (Bolognese-type)

• 1 onion (whatever color, I like red)
• 2-3 carrots (more if tiny, less if huge)
• 2-6 garlic cloves (more if tiny, less if huge)
• about 15-20 cm of celery stalk (the green thing, not the yellow block growing underground)
• 2-3 tablespoons of tomato puree
• 2,5 dl of soy TVP (or about 300-400 grams of minced meat)
• 1 boullion cube (veggie, meat, chicken, idc)
• (1-2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes)
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (á 400 g, so about 800 g)
• 1 can on lentils (whatever color, I like red and also a can being~390 g)
• (2-3 frozen spinach cubes because is healthy)
• splash of soy sauce
• bigger splash of mild vinegar (whatever color, I use what I happen to have)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• all them herbs and pepper (oregano, basil, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Dice onion, put into big pan or pot with a plenty of oil. You might need to add more oil later on.
2. Dice all the other veggies and add them in once the onions brown a bit. Spinach too, if you’re feeling strong.
3. Add in the tomato puree. Let it all heat up.
4. Add in the TVP (or if meat, maybe cook meat in another pan so it can brown too?) Add the boullion cube and mix it all well. Now is time for the nutritional yeast flakes too.
5. Rinse the lentils properly and add them in. Same for diced tomatoes and add some water into the cans and then the water to the pan/bot aswell. (About half a can of water per can.)
6. Splash the soy and the mild vinegar, then add the sugar, herbs and peppers. Taste, add more if needed. Possibly might need some salt too, don’t know how much salt anyone likes.
7. Boil some pasta (choose whatever shape you like or happen to have at hand) and taste the sauce again before eating.
8. If you let the sauce simmer longer it’ll be better but sometimes you just gotta eat.

My grammar might suck, I can barely do understandable recipes in my own language. I won’t take offense in further questions.

Depends a bit on headphones too! Mine can be turned on while they’re also connected by the aux so the ANC and such can be on, or they can be used off with the aux which still does sound great, but obviously doesn’t actively cancel any noises.

I don’t know if this works with HSL, I have never travelled by their things when visiting Helsinki. But with all my tickets, Matkahuolto or VR, I always just take a screenshot of my ticket and crop it. So before hopping onto the bus/train, I can safely open the photo from gallery and then reopen my phone once someone wants to see the ticket. No need to worry about any app lagging or suddenly not working or logging me out from my account and so on.

This here. My stepfather was a chef so I got used to very good food and he was kind enough to teach me the basics. I wouldn’t call myself a good cook, but I can do maths and I can make way better food for so, so much cheaper than eating in a restaurant.

Epäilen, että Kokoomus pistää saman “velkalaivamme uppoaa”-pelottelukamppanjan tulille ensivaaleissakin ja porukkahan kumpparit jalassa ja traktorin sisukumit olkapäillä laukkoo äänestyskoppeihin.

Absolutely, there is an psychological factor in this too. I’m listening way more carefully and listening the whole album in one go which is good because I’m enjoying the same tunes a whole lot more. And I agree on both the dedicated players and theatres… My attention span will do it’s tricks unless I keep in a short leash.
