No, you'd have to go to the netherlands for that.

Here's a crazy idea. Put doors on your toilets. Then it doesn't fucking matter who goes where. Serving lots of booze to lots of dudes? Put in a piss-trough.

Pisses me off everytime I go to some shithole underdeveloped country and see those "booths" or whatever they call them.

It's likely they don't know what the word "conscious" means

25 days off per year MINIMUM required by law. At least that's how it works in Sweden. Very common to have extra vacation days as a benefit. Then add the "red days" like first of may (international workers day, also outdoor fucking day according to some). There are 13 of them this year so minimum 38 days off. Americans were just too stupid to fight for it.

Turns out it never was a free country at all

I agree but it's beside the point (the liberal party in my country is openly supporting the nazi party). For profit media can per definition not be objective but at least it has to comply with the laws of the country it operates in. The internet bypasses all this legislation and pretty much every country was slow to catch up.

What really grinds my gears is when my fellow countrymen believe propaganda about our state sponsored media. Which cannot be controlled by our government because it's been proxied off behind several foundations running it. The only thing our government can do (and then only with support from the opposition) is reduce or increase money going into it. It's pretty much the only source of reporting in my language without sponsors dictating content.

That's the whole point of screaming about "liberal" or "leftist" media for all this time even when most media outlets are owned by for profit orgs. They usually have to comply with laws. On social media you've been able to lie as much as you want without consequence or being called out. Corporations mostly use this to market to children and get them addicted to gambling.

I just use a pi-hole to block my LG TV from connecting to any services I have not approved. So it can connect to YouTube but not lg.trackingservices.brainscanner.com. Never seen an ad on my TV.

Who's throwing stones? These friends are clearly unhappy and only getting worse because of dumb shit on social media. I'd help them if they'd listen.

Alpha male isn't even a thing. Not even in nature. People who call themselves that are mostly delusional assholes no-one likes.

I'm currently a stay at home husband who does all the cooking, cleaning and dishes. I never felt manlier and have never been so attractive to women (according to my wifes friends at least). Looking forward to our first child arriving soon.

I have plenty of single male friends who seem stuck in their early 20s (even though they're approaching 40). Their only care in the world seem to be "the economy" (something they barely understand), and whatever the newest *-maxxing scam is being promoted on Instagram that will magically make women gravitate towards them. They're all pretty good looking and mostly nice people. The main problem being that they're cheapskates and won't lift a finger for anything not directly benefitting themselves. They don't know how to cook, and learning anything unrelated to their jobs is seen as a "waste of time".

I'm very happy I didn't get stuck in that sort of rut as I've seen how easy it was for my friends.

Dang. Hope this anger doesn't give the old fuck a heart attack.
