I think that’s the thing though… You need to invest in a really good quality electric cooker to get something decent… Whereas any old?Cheap gas appliance will get the job done.

Plus every electric hob I’ve ever used has got bullshit touch sensitive buttons that don’t like wet fingers.

Yes, a little bit… Burning any kind of fuel in your home is going to produce carcinogens.

But it’s really nothing to get too excited about, and cooking on electric is bullshit

This is amazing.

So does much of Europe. As oligarchs hoard wealth and the mob are increasingly hungry, poor and angry, the right wing will leverage dissatisfaction and come to power on the wings of lies.

It was ever thus, right back through recorded history. This is how Rome fell. This is how America will fall. Europe will hold another decade, I think. By then we may well be fighting.

I’m just sitting here in Europe munching popcorn right now.

Hopefully my kids wont die in Greenland fighting the American Nazi aggression but it’s a looming possibility, for sure.

I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.

Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.

It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.

On the other hand, there are some communities there that are still pretty active and interesting just based on the sheer volume of people that still use Reddit. So it still has a place in my life… Kinda.

Only expect to get worse over time, it’s like a slow decline of a friendship

I have, thanks… I used it for a couple of years but the transfer fees on small amounts grew until I was basically paying 50% to them

So.. it’s definitely their fault somehow and not…. I don’t know… enshitification?

Look on the bright side… At least you’re making some strangers on the Internet laugh!
