  • In the 80’ies and 90’ies there was a mandatory sex scene in any action movie. I feel those kinda went away in the aughts. Now that we need at leas one major gay or bi or trans character in everything we have at least one scene of someone kissing someone of their own gender, often followed by cuddling.

    So not only did they bring back sex or at least a big focus on people making out, but they’re doing it at a time when TVs have grown a LOT! Filling the frame with a kiss was sort of ok on a 24" screen, but having my 77" TV portray lips on lips, corner to corner is just not something I need for every single piece of modern media I’m trying to enjoy!






  • My daughter has always had a very close relationship with my mom. In the beginning of covid they didn’t see eachother for a few months, except over video chat. When we finally had them over, in the outdoors, my daughter, who was 2 at the time had a very simple reaction: she collapsed on the grass as soon as she saw her in the distance. We had to pick her up off the grass. She spent the next half hour hugging her grandmother.









  • I had to rent an apartment for two months in between my old apartment was sold and my new house was ready. The apartment was furnished, so everything had to go into storage. Immediately after we moved in the owners told us they had put it up for sale and we would have potential buyers coming by now and again.

    I wasn’t homeless, and in the grand scheme of things this was just a small pitstop in a fairly great (if somewhat badly maintained) apartment, but then, my other moves have been much smoother, so here we are.


  • I thought this would be about being s whole lot more wealthy, so I had questions ready a colleague of mine overheard from a seven year old.

    “What is your estate called?”

    “How many barrels of land does your family own?”

    When it comes to a million euro house, I don’t think you need to behave that differently from what’s your norm. People from every walk of life can come into that kind of money, be it from inheritance, a good job, lucky investment or help from parents. Just pretend it’s a house you can barely afford and ask questions as if you’re considering buying it. Point out flaws. Or don’t, you’re allowed to reserve judgement.
