In Greek it's putana and it means prostitute like in Spanish. Hijo de puta also exists in Greek with the same meaning but it's not used as frequently and doesn't have a female version.

Tea/infusions in all its possible shapes and forms. Except bottled ice tea, that's not tea.

Yeah I wasn't talking about the teenagers but about the bars themselves. The point is, it doesn't matter if it's illegal, plenty of illegal things are treated the same way. It matters that it's not taken seriously while it should.

Similar thoughts definitely exist for other things that are not regularly enforced. There is a well known Facebook group in my city that tracks the location of ticket inspectors in public transport so you can avoid them. And bar owners in neighborhoods warn each other whenever there are checks for underage drinking or smoking inside because these laws are also rarely followed.

But I agree that if someone said similar things about health inspections it wouldn't sit well with people. And it's weird that something as dangerous as speeding or running red lights is not considered as important but rather as a minor thing.

Interesting how Google Translate returns brown-haired for both Brunhårig and Brun hårig while DeepL doesn't but they both return brown-haired when provided with the whole phrase. Shows how trustworthy auto-translation is.

Honestly even when it's translated by a human you can usually tell it's a translation. I try not to read translations, it's just not the same.

Favorite albums that came out this year
Malicia - Mägo de Oz - Favorite song: El último rezo. There is a website about this album somewhere with a story formed by the songs but each song stands fine by itself too.
Puertas - El Cuarteto de Nos - Favorite song: En el cuarto de Nico. Some interesting lyrics here.

Favorite rediscovered song
The Last Stand - Sabaton - This feels pretty random cause I don't even remember where I came across it, just started listening to it at some point this year. Perfect for waking you up when you're feeling down.

Well shit, it had me convinced. I don't remember what the argument was about so can't really find the post to verify.

I saw a comment recently that answered with "would a bot do this?" with a photo of a post-it note saying Not a bot :). Was kinda cute

I shop from small businesses when it's more convenient (which is actually more common than you'd think when you don't have a car).

Mini markets are closer than supermarkets and stay open longer so I'll often get groceries from there even if it's more expensive.

When looking for a specific piece of equipment there are some things that can't be delivered or they'd take an eternity to arrive so I find which stores sell it and go to the physical store, which is usually a smaller local place.

I don't know if thrift shops count as small businesses but they're also more convenient than going to big clothes shops.

And I guess most restaurants are local businesses too.

Sadly true (and yeah, I didn't know about those movies)

And that's why older media is usually better. Only the good parts have survived and the 90% has been forgotten.
