There is a German song with this theme called “Ne Leiche”.

Well I guess my bubble is pretty strong 😅.

Okay celebrating shareholder value I get in an indoctrinated pure* capitalist society.

But praising a monopoly? Wasn’t that one of the main points capitalism should prevent?

The free market brings about competitors when they are needed.

Which does not hold true in reality due to various reasons and dynamics like entry cost…

I actually like the taste of unseasoned food.

I guess lowest I would go is -30°C. Ideally something varying between 20°C and -30°C.

Fixed. Blame it on typing this on mobile and being in a rush to the underground.

Hahah I guess both. You learn a lot with either. 😅

I like to think that I am good at root causing software issues.

Cold*. You can always put on more but once you’re naked, well you’re naked.
