So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.

It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.

But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.

Turns out i’m gonna buy a steamdeck with them using linux and thinking of things like this.

I just need to wait a bit as the most expensive season is around the corner, i’m just glad our Dutch black friday doesn’t outdo any regular discount making it a near necessity to wait for black friday.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

Online shopping used to mean lower prices and a bit of a wait.

Nowadays it’s: more expensive because of shipping, delivery not doing their job or even stealing your shit, which leads to you having to pick it up at a place further from your house than the store that sells it.

Over here they are supposed to deliver it to you in person but half the time (if not more) they’ll just leave a “you weren’t home note” even though you took the day off and then drop it off at a pickup point.

Downside is that i can’t stop online shopping because the stores never carry what i need.

It should be this: https://youtu.be/ymxG4wOP7fk?si=fDyTv66EiVcToe44

It’s specifically about superstores tho, but i kinda zoned out somewhere along the video.

Tbh the price increases we’ve seen since then were pretty much a lot of the western society that dealt with it, there were resource issues and a lot of volatility in the market due to this covid ordeal.

I’m not dismissing the fact that those increases put a lot of stress on all of our finances.

I don’t think anything ya dumbass, you’re the one doing all this psycho mental gymnastics blaming me for things that never happened.

Stop assuming, weirdo.

I could’ve expected that, my wife takes zoo trips in Germany with a coworker and they also get loads of grocery’s.

Just last weekend she brought a bunch of monster energy, 77 cents a piece. I pay €2,50 for a single can over here.

She also bought kraken rum and a bottle of aberfeldy whiskey for me which were roughly €7 cheaper each.

When i was 16 i worked at Albert Heijn and they stopped selling coca cola because the distributor wanted to make them €1,35 compared to the current €1,15. Albert Heijn said “nope, stop or we will stop selling”. The shelves were empty for a couple weeks and then miraculously filled with coca cola for €1,35 and not a word was spoken about it.

But i stumbled on a mini documentary on yt about German grocery stores (specifically the huge ones apparently) and how they are losing money. So you might end up paying a similar price as us some time in the near future.

Nah you’re looking for a fight just to feel good, foolish person.

I never said anything about old folks, ya weirdo. But since you’re so adamant i actually have a disability but i’m not taking no for an answer from life.

I want to do good by our planet to the best of my ability even if it means i have a little more pain. It’s not like the pain will ever stop existing so i might as well do the right thing.

Heck an e bike would actually make my commute longer, there is no sense in getting one for myself.

I never hated on cars either, you just made that shit up like the rest that’s coming out of your mouth. If you want a car, go get it. If you need a car, go get it. If you don’t need one, GO GET IT. I don’t give a fuck.

I just know like everyone else that battery’s are also fucking bad. Same as gas, same as using up all of earths resources etc etc.

With todays price…you’re selling at a loss dude.

In my mind a bottle was still like 1,50, turns out those bastards are already at twice that over here.

In a way, yea sure. I have a gut feeling that those battery’s will become the next big issue once gasoline has a way lower market share.

Yeah but everyone “needs” an e bike nowadays, which compared to regular bikes is another step back.

I just can’t resist, even better when it tears the skin around it and gives you a bigger scab to play with.

Unfortunately they can become ugly af scars if you keep it up.

Nah just a result of physically demanding jobs and a nasty shower mishap on top of that.

If i don’t see the value i’m pirating.

Money is tight, don’t expect me to pay for a play button that you’ll take away the second i can’t spare the money. It means there is no value delivered for my money so i don’t have a reason to spend my hard earned money.

Especially when the amouny is as significant as 10/15€. Fuck i would’ve bought a cd for each month i could spare that money.

Where’s my shoulder pain at?

Nvm i know exactly where it is…in the right shoulder.

For now.

I do everything on a roadbike and fixed gear, which are claimed to have the highest risk of getting a flat tire.

I usually have 2 flats a year which cost around 6€. I usually get a new pair of tires roughly once a year “just to be safe” when i notice the rubber showing oddities or they start losing grip a little. I usually go for continental GP (4kII/5k) tires if they are discounted and pay roughly 80€ for a pair.

I’m curious to see if this “no flat” tire will be cheaper and if it can be run tubeless.

Just everything, i played it and went: “nah ain’t it” and then i played it more hoping i would like it eventually as it was bethesda, but my opinion never changed.

So if i have to give it a name: the reason i don’t like it is because it isn’t skyrim…i guess.

Oof, i tried to like fallout but it wasn’t for me.

I’m curious, as a skyrim guy if this would be for me.

Just for the fun of it: i’m making it 3 in my head. 1 extra to take the photo.
