Thank for sharing your poem, it put a smile on my face :)

Pretty much everything I consume. The main exceptions are canned tomatoes (the store brands are always sourer than I'd like), some cheeses. I used to also buy brand pasta, but ever since my supermarket got its own generic bronze-cut pasta I no longer need to.

When it comes to medicinal products I'm more likely to get a brand version though, e.g when the brand version works better, like with Tiger Balm, or when a generic isn't available.

Tidal's pretty good, they cost the same as spotify but all accounts have access to lossless. The playlists it makes for me are no worse than spotify's and I can sleep happy knowing the artists I listen to get compensated better than on either Spotify or Apple Music.

I also feel the app's design helps me see music in the context of the album it was released in instead of as random tracks, which has made me reconnect with some kinds of music I'd grown apart from after I got Spotify.

Music to my ears. Can't believe how badly creatives are paid in the US, especially given how important they are for the country's soft power.

It's happened to me before, but I would just pluck the feathers. Can't waste meat like that. As annoying as it might be to hear, do remember those chickens were alive before.

You're right, I'll be removing the meme. It was in poor taste.

I chose to post it because of my personal frustration with the turn politics are taking both in my southern European country and in Europe overall.

I come from Greece and in our last elections we had a historically low voter turnout, with mostly conservative and far-right voters showing up. Which lead to a very fascist parliament. And then everyone was surprised with the results, which made me feel "well what were we all expecting when we didn't even show up to vote?".

But I don't really know how the elections went in Italy, so my comment was indeed misplaced.

Putting aside the bitter feelings this makes me feel, this is horrible news. From my experience in my own country, voting as a minority & leftist person feels like fighting the waves these last years... I just keep thinking about when things will take a similar turn to Italy's in other countries too, because it seems like only a matter of time.

I was wondering the exact same thing a few days ago and spent some amount of time googling it.

There's already such a project actually, called Swanye. There seems to be a single person working on it, so if anyone has time to help I'm sure it will be appreciated

Boiled water leaves a residue on the pot, so I always end up halfheartedly washing it
