So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.

It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.

But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

Last time (and first) i went to therapy i was low on money and because of our insurance i “only”(be warned, veru european amounts ahead) had to pay my “own risk” clause which sat at €385. But i REALLY needed some form of help during that time, i had some job interviews and i was physically unable to drag myself to them.

I got about halfway and just break down completely, so i was desperate and literally stuck in life from my point of view.

So i went to therapy with my last money and ended getting 3 sessions and a “we can’t help you there is nothing wrong here’s the bill tho”.

I still don’t know how i managed to get out of there, but i can still feel it pulling in the background…this constant dragging brake.

I don’t think psychadelics can get me out of this, i tried weed once and man did i have a bad time. I’ve always had this: “i wouldn’t mind not existing/suicide would be great right about now” kind of brain and the weed didn’t help the worse part of that battle.

I worked at Albert Heijn in my teens and they stopped selling coca cola as they couldn’t agree on a price.

Cola wanted to increase the consumer price to €1,35 for 1.5 liter bottles.

It took quite some time before the store had coca cola in stock.

I bought a bottle a couple weeks ago as we had some friends over and i laughed so hard out of misery. That same fucking bottle now costs €2,49 at Albert Heijn.

Store brand is 89 cents, which is what we used to pay for original cola .5 liter bottles.

Guys, it’s just water with a bit of flavouring in it. We should all just collectively stop buying these famous brands and watch them burn. Lol

If i don’t see the value i’m pirating.

Money is tight, don’t expect me to pay for a play button that you’ll take away the second i can’t spare the money. It means there is no value delivered for my money so i don’t have a reason to spend my hard earned money.

Especially when the amouny is as significant as 10/15€. Fuck i would’ve bought a cd for each month i could spare that money.

I do everything on a roadbike and fixed gear, which are claimed to have the highest risk of getting a flat tire.

I usually have 2 flats a year which cost around 6€. I usually get a new pair of tires roughly once a year “just to be safe” when i notice the rubber showing oddities or they start losing grip a little. I usually go for continental GP (4kII/5k) tires if they are discounted and pay roughly 80€ for a pair.

I’m curious to see if this “no flat” tire will be cheaper and if it can be run tubeless.

I just wanted to show gratitude to the reactions i got here, i didn’t know what to expect…but you made me happy for posting, thank you.

You sound like the type of person i would be friends with.

Tbh mine is at my computer atm, i showed one friend and he went: “odd thing that, you did a great job tho”

Thank you for the compliment, to be honest it isn’t exactly regular male parts so the surprise is expected.

Yeah it’s an odd thing, not something you put on the coffee table when you have friends over xD

My go to would be Skyrim, but i actually stopped playing about a year ago. My current one would be cyberpunk but i’m waiting for the dlc and playing diablo 4 atm.
