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.

I have issues with keeping my feet and hands warm (they tend to be ice cold), so socks that could keep my feet warm would actually be magic 😭

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.

It’s definitely a stereotype for a reason. Briefly talked to a US or Canadian couple in their 40s-50s last year, they were traveling Europe. They were in slight disbelief that a driver wouldn’t take dollars/any other currency from a Chinese couple who had no Euros left on them. I wonder how it would go for me if I tried to pay in Euros in NA. Probably not great.

Circumcision is and should only be a medically necessary procedure. I’ve never heard anyone say medically necessary circumcision is mutilation, but I’m from Europe where most men aren’t circumcised, so there’s that. Whoever says it’s mutilation when it’s medically justified is ignorant.

(I’m not an Amrican, but) This comment explains it. It’s two similar cakes. The original picture is a joke about the number of “leche” you get.

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.

Continuum too, but I believe that’s because these apps use old.reddit, from which they haven’t removed r/all yet.

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.
