Yeah I make my own bread now. I did that for a living and now it’s turned into a principle, lol.

Pretty sure it was like in 2021-22 when it was always 3 for 10€. Now it’s two for 10€ on sale, lol.

I really really dispise how hard Fazer has been able to build the brand on banal nationalism. Not to mention how hard they go on exploiting cheaper manufacturing countries and still have those outrageous prices. The laskiaspulla and runebergintorttu for example are all made in other countries, frozen and then sold here as “fresh”. With twice the price of local bakeries.

I could do a huge rant on how Fazer and a few other essentially monopolies have destroyed our bread culture and small bakeries here, but I’ll save that for another day.

Fazer? I just saw the boxes today sold at about 6€. Funnily this is also one of the OG fash families (Whites) with firm ties to Germany afaik.

Great post. This is a subject very close to my heart and was lucky enough to be able to take part in some uni courses on these things as well that completely opened my eyes to the problems in gynecology and in the ways medicine has treated people with uteruses.

I also have many personal experiences of this violence, including a badly inserted IUD that bled for a year.

Here is one blog post from a great activist also relating, cw would be medical violence.

There is absolutely a reason why I personally have skipped going for screenings. Love that this is being talked about here.

Also for bags or boxes the box is the same size, but there is about 1/4 less in it. Yet the price is twice as much as before.

Had a look at the Christmas chocolates, same thing with all of them. A box of chocolates is pricier than ingredients for a full meal for a family. Which are expensive too.

“the US doing IMF-style restructuring to itself” is a great take tbh, will steal this and post it to some libs. It really is what this is.

No. At least not where I am.

This just makes me surer that my late 2019 covid was really covid (all the hallmark symptoms) and the only reason it was taken seriously was China calling it out. Or at least it had been brewing a lot longer.

As a mushroom picker this thing right here was my first big issue with the AI grift. It doesn’t take a tech bro to understand how these models cannot actually give advice on anything because they make no decisions.

There was a really inreresting study locally on the heuristics of mushroom picking, turns out it’s one of the riskiest foraging things we humans do and one where we have culturally developed very efficient and well working precautionary principles. It is a pretty perfect example of how an AI model is not intelligent in any way.

I really hate how they now open with “This was a healthy teenager prior to this, so no underlying conditions."

Meaning that if it was one of the “undesirables” who can’t be used by capital, nobody would have to care.

Sometimes I have to wonder if all of what I am experiencing as mediated reliaty is actually real.

The Onion should just pack it up, we live in the most absurd of times.

I’m just going to voice my appreciation for these regional posts you do here.

I often hope to emulate this from my country, but typically run out of spoons (also avoiding national news due to it triggering me these days).

We need correspondants for all the places in the world, this is the best way to read news.

This was immediately reported on by our state media with the angle that reports about this were supressed in social media and reporting it in the media there took until the next day.

I only saw this because I saw a comrade post about it elsewhere critizicing our state media on their angle (as filming the sites of accidents is illegal in many places in the west as well).
