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’ve never understood screentime that works like, 1 hour of computer+TV+phone allowed per day. You can’t even finish a movie in that… I’m glad my parents were lenient on me in that sense, and I was trustworthy too since I didn’t do anything bad.

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!

I LOVE the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the historic city of Uruk (Warka) is in modern day Iraq. In that way, I have a lot of respect for the history. However, I would be too scared to travel there, for example. I hope truly that now after ISIS war, things keep getting better for the people there. I don’t hear many news from there anymore, though I wouldn’t mind hearing.

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

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.

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…

Meeting my gf again. Moving in together…

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

Nothing is wrong with you in that getting a headache due to lack of sleep is pretty common. Happens to me sometimes. How easily and from which things you get headaches really depends on the individual. But you should try pain meds if you haven’t already. They could help you be functional for the rest of the day.
