I’ve wondered the same as OP and never saw one in real life.
Probably it’s a regional thing, like how in some countries (as I recently discovered) they don’t know what a cheese slicer is and just butcher cheese with a knife.

Yeah I suppose those boutique shops are more for rich people but there’s shops with cheap stuff too, often kind of hidden and unwelcoming. I used to live across from one for a while before I even realized it was a shop, and it was still open. Just saw the guy closing up but never saw a customer. I had a look out of curiosity and it was just some old guy selling bottles of washing liquid and everything was covered in a layer of dust like it hadn’t been touched in years. He looked happy to see a customer so I felt sorry for him to just walk out again.


I don’t know any other search that lets you block urls from results. Blocking stuff like social media and Amazon cleans up the results very well.


You mean that combination of something rotten and something metallic? I occasionally pick that up in crowds and the smell is atrocious but nobody else around seems to ever acknowledge it


I’ll grab some beers from the minimarkt at most. Everything else comes from the supermarket. And I often pass those tiny stores that never seem to have any customers – e.g. a shop just for socks? – and I always wonder how they can exist. There must be some kind of tax breaks or tax evasion going on.
Filesharing is nothing like it was before. You can find stuff on YouTube etc that keeps recommending the same things but it just seems so tedious now. It’s not like back when we’d hear new things on the radio and you could download albums with that artist to discover similar music.
After all those years of collecting mp3s, I barely listen to any of it. I’m just kind of losing interest in music over time. If I’m out with my earbuds in, it’s rather listen to a podcast or something.
Maybe it’s because there’s so little good music nowadays and discovering new music isn’t as easy as it once was


It probably doesn’t count as a shower thought. Also, the list is probably all wrong, e.g. Khmer and Tamil are abugidas, not alphabets.
I haven’t been able to find something better than Music Folder Player.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for Android apps to just respect my folder layout and not clump all files together.
Right now, Common Side Effects (season 2 should come out soon)


Yeah it’s something you don’t hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what’s left of the day.


You would think so but it’s not my experience. You don’t get to be a nurse unless you truly despise people (here in Czechia at least)
No, people would just walk over


It hangs in the way when you pour from the bottle and closing the lid is much harder


I’d blind the window. Too much screen glare.


It isn’t paywalled for me but it’s a 3 year old article complaining “we” can’t have good sunscreen where “we” are Americans only so I stopped reading.


In elementary school, a teacher has the habit of punishing the entire class if something happened and he didn’t know who did it. So I got into trouble not knowing why.


I accidentally watched a YouTube video on a browser without blocking. It started with an ad. I thought I’d just endure it this time. Then another ad. OK, just this time then. Suddenly, another ad in the middle of the video. I gave up. Who’d have the patience to sit through this?
Then there’s Google’s habit of completely ignoring the browser’s language settings so I have to sit though ads I don’t even understand.
People in Poland are friendly and cities are surprisingly international and it looks very liveable (walkable + bike lanes). If you ignore the weather, Poland is better.
