  • As if tankies aren’t constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.

    A little history refresher on the origin of the term

    The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

    So specifically being a tankie and supporting fascist bullshit go hand in hand and always have.


  • Being that the exterior is some sort of stucco/earthen kind of material, it would have been refinished on the outside multiple times in 600 years. There’s buildings around 800 years old where I live that are in great condition because they’ve been well maintained. Also it’s pretty typical for old religious buildings to have been added onto and modified in phases. Quite a lot of the big old churches in Europe changed in design and grew in size over 100s of years, for example.










  • They have an expiration date of 4-5 years, so not really an issue. I just think it’s a waste of my time to go to the store to get a 10-20 pack and also a waste of space and a waste of packaging.

    Small annoyance overall I know, but it’s one of my gripes about over the counter medicine here.

    Edit: more annoying is that more hardcore cold medicine is not sold over the counter here at all. Anything with pseudoephedrine is prescription only. Also the sort of actually effective decongestants and antihistimes are all prescription only if they’re even legal at all here.

    But what’s funny is despite that, I can literally walk into the grocery store and buy codeine cough syrup right off the shelf without asking anybody or showing ID. It seems ridiculous to me.


  • In the US you can get a bottle of 500 ibuprofen 200mg pills for about $10.

    So for your case that’s 8000mg for 3 euros or .0375 cents a mg

    In the US that would be 100,000mg for $10 or .01 cents a mg.

    So 3.75x more expensive not factoring in the Euro being higher on the dollar.

    But it’s not even about the price, it’s the fact that it’s just hard to find a large bottle of it here in the EU at all (at least the Netherlands where I am now). I’ve never really seen it in stores. I much prefer buying a bulk bottle that lasts a year or two easily.
