I get job contracts for a few months at a time. Sometimes there are months when I’m unemployed, and those are hard on my savings. I used to do just fine, but this year has been very difficult and my normal savings are pretty much gone. (I still got some in funds/investments though.) So basically, I had a buffer but I had to use it, and now I have nothing. I guess it’s because of the rise in prices? I don’t “waste” money on frivolous things like I might have in the past, but it’s only getting more and more difficult. Add to this student loans. I wouldn’t have €1000 to spare for an unexpected expense. I am really angry at society, to be honest. If the job market wasn’t so ass, I wouldn’t have to deal with these short contracts.

Someone will get hurt, there’s no avoiding that. But you should not sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of not hurting your friend. Sometimes we need to be a bit selfish in life.

1. I like animation, though I mostly watch anime and donghua (Chinese animation). My favourites on that front actually tend to be pretty epic adventure stories, or total tragedies with a happy ending or not (á la Fate/Zero or such).

2. I like political satire. On that front, I always mention the animated police comedy Pasila.

I don’t know it, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Makes no difference really

The planet is being destroyed and the politicians are not doing enough. So activists protest. That’s good! I can’t imagine being angry at climate activists for _{inconveniencing} my day; after all, the real culprits are the politicians who don’t do enough!

The early risers rule the world… the work hours would become like 4am-12pm

Project Zomboid, because being surprised attacked or swarmed by zombies scares me

I don’t block people, even if someone is being stupid I doubt I’d run into them that often again. But of course, if someone was personally harrassing me, I’d block, it just hasn’t happened here.

If i remember correctly, Sandu said they’ll take care of transnistria soon. Just hoping this is actually true

I will proceed with spamming Europapa everywhere

Good to know everyone else around me is satisfied 😅

Every month, I put some money into a savings account for future apartment, and a fund. I try to buy the essentials and little extra. My income is regular as long as I’m employed…

Sir you’re not exactly young yourself…

Never heard of them. I can also get coffee from the office break room, unlike pills

Social media, no. A group could be, but it would require HEAVY gatekeeping to keep out disagreeable individuals. Like in real life, I imagine a smaller commune can work out but not big ones without some rulership system.

Perkele is a name of Ukko… Tired of hearing this one 😴 It’s simply loaned from Perkunas as a swear word in the first place.

To add to the other conversation:

It also kind of depends on where you are. In America, it’s normal to talk about being white. But I feel like in Europe, usually people who refer to themselves as white are white supremacists. Unlike normal people, who tend to refer to themselves with their ethnicity, like “Polish”, “Irish”, etc.

So from the latter perspective, it would seem like racism itself is believing in the existence of races. But racism is really, after you started believing in them, then discriminating based on said races. It’s like step 2 on that path.

You could always see a doctor about it, such pain is a valid reason. And of course, even without headache, it’s good for your health to maintain a good sleep schedule
