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.
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’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
I like the extremely narrow opinion held by whoever took the original screenshot, judging from their use of the agree/disagree buttons. They believe that some form of washing is necessary, but only the exact amount of a bidet— using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.
My old flatmate would shower after every. single. shit. Which was fine in the afternoon/evening. But we got up for work at the same time, and he’d take 20mins in the shower plus 10-15 pooping. Which meant I’d have to be up an hour earlier than I needed to be to be able to poop in the morning…
having a hard time finding other leninists here. your name suggests your familiar with the Haitian revolution. What about the Cuban Revolution of '59? ¡Siempre poder a la gente! ml
