what are some of the best purchases you've made ?
  • Am I getting this right, you paid 20 USD for a plastic cover for plates in the microwave? I mean, yes, you should have one to avoid splatters, but I once upgraded from a 2 USD one to a 5 USD one due to better usability, I can't imagine paying 20 USD for it

    Would you consider the anonymous sale of nudes cheating?
  • Agreed. Cheating in a relationship does not have the same definition as cheating in other contexts.

    Infidelity (synonyms include cheating, straying, adultery, being unfaithful, two-timing, or having an affair) is a violation of a couple's emotional and/or sexual exclusivity that commonly results in feelings of anger, sexual jealousy, and rivalry.

    VIDEO: Czech PM goes shopping in Bavaria, finds that German groceries are cheaper
  • Grocery store prices do not vary significantly across German federate states. The main part of cost of living differences comes from housing prices. Restaurant prices vary more than grocery store prices too.

    What non-technical criticisms do you have of the Lemmy/kbin/link aggregator fediverse experience?
  • Loads more unnecessary and weird political comments on completely unrelated posts. On Reddit it depended much more on the subreddit whether you'll get those weird comments, on Lemmy I found lots of comments up high on various non-political communities which just repeat certain political combat slogans on many posts.

    Even when I sympathize with 'that side' moreso than the opposite one, it's just dumb and annoying to me.

    One in four new UK homebuyers under 25 rely on ‘bank of mum and dad’ – study
  • When my last parent dies, almost half of their property value goes to tax, the rest I'd split with siblings

    Where do you live of I may ask? In Germany, even assuming a laughably expensive property worth 2 million EUR and without any tax optimizations, with 2 siblings you'd have to pay a bit below 30k EUR in taxes and receive property worth 667k EUR per child. If you got the property worth 2 million only yourself, you'd have to pay around 300k in taxes max.

    New Euro banknotes re-design survey (It's working now!)
  • If you say you rather like it, you only get the options for describing why you like it. If you say you rather dislike it, you only get to describe why you dislike it. Only for the neutral one you get both sets of follow-up options IIRC.
