I’m know it’s a meme, but a lot of people actually live like this. It’s part of that insanity of fear that people live in. “Except one” implies that it’s inevitable that you’ll be attacked in the night.
It’s just like the psychos who stock up on guns, they’re positive that “it’s only a matter of time”
Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
Long as you don’t go overboard, i think it’s perfectly reasonable to have something to defend yourself with. Granted, i would think a reasonable amount of guns to have for home defence would be 1, but i’m european so i dunno
Malta punches so far above its weight. Visited and had a blast. Food was phenomenal, people were great, public transit worked really well, and several phenomenal ruins. It wasn’t remotely on my “want to visit” list before I went, but I’d definitely return.
OP: can you share why the second story bay windows are everywhere? It’s a neat piece of architecture but never asked why they did it.
Thanks! I was there twice when I was in the Navy, it’s the first stop when entering the Mediterranean. I adored the historical architecture with this yellow sandstone and the tight streets. Those balconies, hmm, not sure. My guess would be that they used to be open balconies but as people needed more space, they closed them and got a little more room? Edit: Ah, found it Wikipedia-Gallarija
Ah! Neat, thanks for finding that. And of course, reading the article my first thought was “yes, we have these fancy balconies, and it’s a new concept- but still older than your country”. LOL.
I got a subscription to nebula, since my favorite creators are on there and YouTube’s subscription costs too much.
Quit Spotify for Apple Music and PlexAmp.
Slowly starting to phase out everything Google but it’s taking some time.
I’m using Google search less and now Ecosia has become my primary search engine.
Next thing on my list is to reduce streaming services. I quit Netflix and HBO in 2023 after having it for many years.
Using a VPN more and more.
I’m using much less Reddit, Facebook and whatever the fuck twitter is now. Instead I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon. Maybe this year I’ll delete all the old accounts finally for good.
I got one after a surgery because I couldn’t touch my butthole without screaming. And I still thought they were weird. Now I can’t stand it if one isn’t available. Fwiw, if you are a relatively clean pooper the toilet paper is mainly for drying off.
I bought bidets for the house during the COVID toilet paper lunacy and it’s likely the best personal hygiene investment I’ve ever made. I still get upset when I have to poop somewhere that doesn’t have a bidet.
I installed mine during COVID lockdowns - wife got one as a gift for baby shower and we never used it but 2 years later I broke it out during the dark times for toilet paper and it saved our ass, literally. Definitely the best improvement ever, yet some people do feel weird about them, like middle schooler homophobia or some shit
This is why I pay free range chickens to peck the shit off my asshole. It keeps them out of the factory farms, reduces water use, provides the chicken a fair day wage for a fair day of work, and keeps my butthole squeaky clean.
