  • Yeah, I had already done so for about a decade already and then they bought a brand with some of my favorite vegan products (mostly meat alternatives) some years ago and then it got real fucking personal. It’s stuff I grew up with, wasn’t fully vegan myself till 7 years ago but have always had vegetarians and vegans around me my whole life and they were some of the earliest really good meat alternatives here. It was already personal because of who they are and has done, is doing and will continue to do, but now it was a more direct change in my life and a fist in my gut. I still miss those products, but will never ever buy or eat them. The brand is called “Hälsans Kök” (Swedish) which translates to “kitchen of health” which is now ironic as fuck, and I just don’t understand how they managed to buy it. Fuck the original owners too for selling out.


  • How have you not yet realised to be very doubtful and suspicious of anything that’s heavily advertised on YouTube etc? Which Nord is like top 5 of along with Raid Shadow Legends, Raycon earbuds, BetterHelp and Manscaped. All, including Nord, having been widely known for years to be scams and/or just shitty products and companies. Do you really think they’d do those sponsorship deals if they were actually good and naturally got customers via word of mouth? All of this is so damn obvious.







  • Eh, I think it’s just what always happens: they act like children in the way that they do shit to see what they can get away with.
    The reasons for doing so are harder to know, and never exactly the same but generally rooted in hate, fear and narcissim. They start doing shit and examine how the world reacts, then tiptoes the line of what would bring out actual response and get them killed or in any other way stopped.
    Then it’s about if they get to some kind of place where they feel comfortable and don’t push it more or they get overconfident and actually do step over the line and get shut down by any of the many possible ways that can happen.
    This happens everywhere all the time in all different levels possible. Between two toddlers at a play date, bosses and their employees all the way to countries and world powers. And in our fictional stories (and possible futures) between planets, solar systems, galaxies and whole universes.



  • I use an old Sony TV from around 2008 as my monitor, I can turn on the TV and via my laptop screen shut the laptop down then manually boot again and it’ll be fully booted before the TV is ready and showing the desktop. Got it from my neighbours when they tried to throw it out, it’s not amazing but I’m very happy to have it as I wouldn’t have anything other than the even more shitty 720p laptop screen otherwise.
