this is literally what we do in scandinavia, we have a king/queen who might technically actually have fewer rights than regular people (which can of course simply be solved by abdicating) since they can't really do anything "political", and they just go around doing PR.

Works pretty well IMO, of course it feels a little bit shit that they get all kinds of luxury for being born royal, but hey, it satisfies a lot of monarchists and is otherwise basically meaningless so why not.

i think we humans are just not in tune with our emotions, we're so chronically isolated and depressed that we never learn to pick up on small vibes and how to help others deal with tough times.

Animals on the other hand have no such worries, they pick up on clues that you're sad and do what they can to help, and over time they learn that the human always laughs and feels better when they lay on their chest and incessantly lick their face.

i think fireworks are nice but they're to a large degree something from a different age and at this point we should only really be using smaller volcano-style ones, and like holy shit we have drone technology, why aren't drone displays standard in any vaguely populated area?

i've had the beer and wine that everyone else insists tastes great and it tasted like actual poison with zero redeeming qualities, so i'm left to conclude that those who enjoy alcohol are just suffering from stockholm syndrome and/or addiction.

at least with coffee there's the actual coffee flavour buried underneath the fact that it's all but burnt to coal, so i can see how someone with sufficiently desensitized tastebuds might enjoy it, and i can sort of enjoy it if i drown it in milk and chocolate.

my man i taste the beer and it makes me retch, what the fuck else do you want me to do? is my opinion invalid until i've pickled my tastebuds and my liver tries to escape from my mouth?

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.

given that satan isn't actually evil and basically got punished for not wanting to mindlessly follow god, this gecko should tell you about mutual insurance companies, which are owned by their members and don't make a profit.

it's perfectly standard to keep eggs in the fridge here in sweden, no reason not to since it just makes them last forever.
