  • So you think the government in the United States of America is so afraid of its constituents that they are not raising the taxes.

    What about all the other countries in the world that have less or similar taxes like the states but no 2. amendment? Are they completely reliant on sending strongly worded letters to the newspapers? Or do you think in a functional democracy there might be other ways for constituents to wield power?







  • IKEA furniture are not bad at all. 40 years ago or was a standing joke, but the quality has quintupled since then.

    You can of course buy the cheapest of cheap in IKEA and it will be less comfortable than the more expensive ones, but couches from IKEA are good.

    Hell, most other furniture brands delivers their furniture flat packed as well. It’s just easier to build IKEA since they have gotten the instructions down to a t.

    When I saw the story about furniture doctor here the other day it just seemed so dumb. Buy flat packed furniture sand assemble it on your living room. Or get the furniture doctor to assemble it, then you don’t have to cut it open with power tools…

    In short - IKEA and Wasa ftw!!


  • This is probably not in the same categories as other experiences, buuuut the Guinness museum in Dublin the evening before st Patrick’s day was quite fun!

    There’s a large bar at the top/end of the museum and a band was playing and 100 or so people ended up in a conga line.

    I think I had 4 tasty Guinness during the museum tour sand countless at the museum bar😅




  • The more you walk or run, the more breaths you make. What’s your pulse/breath while walking? What about “any other form of activity” that could introduce sweat? Skimming, cycling, skiing, fucking… hell even hopping wood and lifting weights make you breathe faster if you strain yourself.

    I’ll be take breaths

    The fuck? Where is your limit then to purchase power Vs donating to those less fortunate?

    I mean, if 40k USD is your limit, what about housing? Boat? Would it be ok to have ten 4k cars? Two 30k cars?

    Can you rationalize drinking that imported beer last weekend when you could have given those 15 bucks to a homeless guy on the street?

    I mean, arbitrary set a value point for a car as excessive creates more problem for you and your ideal then not having that limit. At least the Buddhist monks who give away all their worldy goods to focus on meditation are consistent.




  • Same same but very different.

    Sort of resident evil 1 camera points, so a bit confusing to move around. But you wake up somewhere with body parts replaced and no memory of anything and you piece it together. Not no FPS.

    I loved it and emailed the publishers for a sequel. They confirmed that it was not going to happen😅. I think this was in 1998 or something like that. I got it and played through it in 3 days straight. Loved it.
