@thor if i wouldn't know that it's going to be a failure because of this reason, i'd start a company. as it stands, it's not worth the problems though :/

@thor i think the lazyness is a big reason for this. it's easier to click something on amazon instead of typing in your address on yet another shop.

i can't remember when/if i got sold shit by a small shop. the occasional mishap, but all of them were handled properly. last time was when i've got the wrong toothbrushes, got my money back quick _and_ could keep the wrong ones. that doesn't happen with bezos.

@thor i wonder if the anti-capitalists-against-small-business reuse old hardware to write their stuff here 🙃

@histoire just for the click?

@kgibson and the recipes most of the time are better if one person has put some refinement into them. i really like ceila brooks (brown) books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/147173.Celia_Brooks_Brown she has often pointers of how to replace more exotic components with something common.

hot take: real cook books are almost always better than any recipe site.

@mur2501 why is svalbard red? 😁

@net @jbauer when the only comment which really has a solution hidden in it is a meme 😬

tfw first hit for "hey hey, my my" is the cover version from sons of anarchy soundtrack.

@thor thats why it's no real week!!1

"Weeks start with Monday. Each week's year is the Gregorian year in which the Thursday falls. The first week of the year, hence, always contains 4 January. ISO week year numbering therefore slightly deviates from the Gregorian for some days close to 1 January. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date 😜

Fun aside, using weeks has to stop. Businesses do use it often here and it always drives me mad.

@thor ok, im stahp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfrL4GFsyDY

@trinsec @freemo @mur2501 they are doing that as alcoholism isn't viewed as a sickness but as a weakness. our societies don't like weaklings, especially when it's due to their own actions. they usually perfectly know that they have a problem, but they won't admit it because then they'll be shunned by society.

alcohol roughly triggers the same response in the brain as benzodiazepines. thus i'd say that nearly every case of alcoholism is self-treatment of other issues. nobody shits on people on medication for anxiety, but if you are told often enough that those are weak people, you'll rather use alcohol than get treatment.

it doesn't have to be plain telling them that they are weak, i think the advertising everywhere and seeing other people being happy seemingly without effort is enough to get the message through.

@thatbrickster imo, focus yes, but not autoraise.

@parasurv don't know if the crime stuff is your thing but those two are good:

Endeavour (haven't watched all seasons yet): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2701582/

"The Bridge" aka. Bron/Broen, the first two seasons as the dynamic of the two main characters is the best there imho: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1733785/

on very rough days i rewatch old NCIS seasons, very uncool, but i know what i'm in for there. i miss that there aren't many new series which aren't like movies.
