  • From the wiki:

    "45 million litres of julmust are consumed during December ( in Sweden), which is around 50% of the total soft drink volume in December and 75% of the total yearly must sales."

    Well frick!

  • The bill targets folk who have a foreign bank account, do not even have to have foreign funding. Everyone and their mum has a foreign bank account, so this bill makes basically everyone a target, including everyone in Georgian Parliament.

  • I agree with the mission of this new cap, but my thoughts were this: Coca Cola, PepsiCo, these brands are... so inhumanly big, their budgets are SO extremely deep and large. And this cap? This cap is the best they could come up with? There is not a grain of my being that can believe that. What I do know about these corporations, is that they hate working together to reduce waste. Anytime a bottle deposit system is expanded they basically stamp the floor angrily until the law forces them to adapt or get out, at which point they use the new hated rules in their marketing as if the planet was all they were thinking about all along. Right..

    This cap is essentially psychological warfare against the consumer, to form negative thoughts about being responsible with plastic waste. It's purpose is to make you angry about the new rule, while still adhering to it.

    Fuck you big food products inc, I hope we introduce a deposit system on fucking everything so you can all sit in the boardroom and cry about it.

  • Not all human races share this trait. I saw a documentary about aging Chinese males and hairloss (don't know their race but the procedures were in china and they had genetically Asian traits), and a lot of them could use pubic hair from their own body to substitute, as it is much closer to their head hair when comparing hair characteristics. Very cool.

  • No diagnosis here, is that normie enough? We all have the spotlight effect, some more than others. Autism symptoms or diagnosis just point you in a viable direction for effective help.

    Eye contact isn't so bad, as written here already: quick smile or nod that acknowledged the eye contact, then scan to the next point of Interest or head. I basically keep looking around all the time, unless my dinner date is speaking to me or visa versa, then I try to maintain contact at the table. Looking at you plate isnt so bad either.

    The bad thing is staring, even more so if your gaze is not empty but clearly with intent. You can always fake 'coming back' from staring if this happens, move your face in a way that eludes the feeling you just 'woke up' from a stare, smile apologetically, move your gaze to the next item.

    This might feel like a lot of work in the beginning, but you only just started and have been practicing awkward gazes all your life ^^ , so feeling a bit outside of your comfort zone is to be expected when trying these new things.

  • I live here in the more sought after cities and let me tell you, its fucking horrible. I have an adequate home because I got lucky, but even social housing/rent controlled housing is insane. My 'waittime' is 11 years and I won't even be the first in line for 98% of the houses, those folk have like 16 years. I make below the median income, but with my partner combined, who also makes slightly below median, we are excluded to move into rent controlled housing. Because we make too much money. But not enough to buy a house locally..... Nature is Amazing

    A colleague of mine is moving 150km, away from all their fam, because that's the only place that sold viable houses in their price range, another literally moved into a bus just so they can control where they live. Not great.

  • They don't even assume that anymore. If you look at the mean dimensions of sold phones in NL over the last 7 years, you'll see that the 'thinnest' year is already behind us. Less then 6/7mm just becomes unwieldy for a lot of hands, and the sold phones dimensions reflect that.

  • Yep, intra continental travel is what is left (for pleasure, I guess if you want to emigrate you could take a boat) That's cool, I have seen like 2% of it. Maybe in 25 years, you won't be obliged to share the image of your genitals if you want to travel by plane. Cross ocean travel is really cool and can expand your horizons, but I don't really need it.

  • And where do the original scans get saved? And for how long? Who can access those? Can those images be resold? Can I request my personal data and request to have it removed?

    I felt 100% violated when I had to go through a machine like this and haven't felt like flying ever since, I'll take the train thanks. When the kids couldn't be scanned because that would constitue child porn, that's where we should have scratched our head and maybe take a step back.

    I own the image of my genitals and have exclusive rights to distribute them, not some TSA human I have never met before.
