  • Meh, if you grow up in the sticks (and on a cattle farm) you become immune.

    Now, 25 years after moving away from there, my GF instantly reacts to that smell. I don’t even notice it unless she tells me why she closed the car window.

    Plus cow dung doesn’t smell that much at all, considering the efficient bovine digestion. Pig, on the other hand, that’s a smell I really notice.



  • Yeah, upon reading the post I immediately thought of an article from a long time ago whether some anime was feminist or antifeminist. It was just an average anime that didn’t even engage with the topic.
    The conversation around a piece of art becomes infinitely worse once values are ascribed to it based on a (re)viewers personal ideologies and agenda.

    I’m all for anticapitalist sentiment and feminism, but not every topic needs to be evaluated under them.















  • Once upon a time (either 2008 or 2013) I had to take a few trains through England as a foreigner. I bought my ticket and got on. At this one station (Kings Cross? Can’t remember…) I had to change trains and I figured I’d take the opportunity to pop upstairs for a smoke break.

    Upon trying to reenter I realized my ticket wasn’t valid for entry anymore, as it would’ve been in the system I was used to back home, so I contacted one of the staff and asked for advice.

    The staff member was a tall punk-looking guy with a Mohawk, and he explained the problem for me. He somehow managed to combine the looks of a hardcore punker with that of a very british rail official. Afterwards he helped me get back in: He had a ticket on him, and he tore it and handed me the magnetic half so I could reenter. I thanked him and went on my way.

    Upon scanning the ticket I noticed it had an anarchist-symbol hastily written on it with a marker. Combined with the aesthetics of the guy who helped me I couldn’t help but conclude that he’s fighting the system from within.
