Heh, I had the exact opposite thought process: love me some pickled onion, I should make some. But those potatoes look a bit funny to me.

Killer music though! Granted, it was from the movie's OST, but still.

Every woman I am friends with have all told me that the bar for men is on the fucking ground and they still find a way to get under it. The reason why men are awful is because of the privilege that the patriarchy gives men. As a man, you have to actively reject that privilege.

I found this out when I was looking for resources on how to support a pregnant partner. Most of the stuff I found just said "listen to her and do at least some of the stuff she asks you to do", which I thought was the bare minimum. Then I found articles that also said "don't force yourself on her" and "be patient when she has mood swings, don't beat her", and I realized where the bar actually might be.

Searched for "splish splosh bitch" and found it lmao

Make those at risk or on the brink feel loved and appreciated, even if you are very concerned by the beliefs they have started to take on and share. Make your boys and men feel loved and tie that feedback to simply being good people. Yes, I am saying to be less judgemental and give people a cookie for doing the bare minimum.

YMMV, but this was one of the things that turned me around.

Not the Nazis, the Japanese. He served on the Pacific front. No wonder he's pissed all the time.

Also, it's interesting he served in the Army. I thought we would've been in the Navy, for obvious reasons.

On a choking meme, to boot?

JESUS CHRIST, PUT IT BACK!

Also, the speed limit doesn't apply if Free Bird is playing.

Thanks for your serious interest! I'm happy to talk about the positives of my country's government for a change (while they last, anyway).

DELET THIS

I know, right? I never thought I'd live to see the day lol

Since you asked so nicely, I'll cut the bullshit and only tell you stuff that directly affects me and has either already happened or the implementation is close enough to already have an effect on my life.

From the beginning of next year, the personal income tax will be lower. The family allowance will double. My extended family also automatically received a school supply allowance. They're also bringing back a simplified taxation form for self-employed people, which I might take advantage of.

Nearby hospitals got an upgrade on their HVAC systems. There's an online platform where I can provide feedback on the care I received. This is an improvement to the previous system, where you complained on Facebook and the former Minister of Health told you to go fuck yourself. No, I am not kidding, this happened.

There's a bridge I have to go across when I visit my parents. It's in such a bad shape that I roll my windows down every time I cross it so that I can wiggle out of the car if it collapses under me. The guy previously responsible kept delaying the renovation. The new guys started working on it not long ago.

For the past few years, every second billboard outside screamed at me that there's war and immigrants and Ukranians and ugly old people with Jewish or Jewish-sounding surnames out there to get me. And that my only hope is Orbán. Everyone else wants me dead and penniless. In the months before the election, almost every surface outside was covered with fear-mongering political messaging. Orbán then seized a Ukranian money transport and then tried to blame a false-flag operation on Ukraine. Because of this and his Russian bias and his fiery speeches against Ukraine, I was fully convinced that if he won, we'd declare war on Ukraine by the end of the year. I actually made preparations for this eventuality. Along with every non-Orbán supporter I knew. The billboard ads are now gone. The rhetoric has calmed down. Maybe this last point is not tangible enough. But I literally cannot tell you how relieving it is to be finally free of it.

These are off the top of my head. Without mentioning that blocked EU funds have been secured (because that's a bonus for the economy, I don't get shit directly) and that the capricious rule by decree is over (because that's boring legislation). Magyar and Tisza are populists, and they promised the world to Hungarians. But now they need to deliver because we've had enough empty promises, and they know this too. We'll see if they can keep it up.

EDIT: I could also walk this year's Pride without being threatened with fines and cameras with facial recognition tech! Silly me, I almost forgot that the government-mandated gay bashing has finally ceased.
