    I have really fallen for You Or Someone Like You! It has a note that almost exactly capturesmy recollection of freshly cut grass, which is a smell I love, so it puts a smile on my face every time I spray it 😀

    I just ordered my first springtime scent of the year.

    (M43)I've got quite a nice little collection of fall/winter scents because I really love leathers and tobacco.(M43)I've never really done a deep dive into freshies and springtime fragrances but last year I bought a couple of samples of **Etat Libre D'orange You or someone like you** and enjoyed it immensely. I also bought a full bottle of Fat Electrician, which has been my go-to fragrance this fall and winter so when I started thinking about buying a new full bottle for spring, You or someone like you was the obvious choice for me. So I just ordered it today. It should arrive in a couple of days. I'm at least as excited about getting this one as I was about Fat Electrician. Has anybody else ordered something recently that they're really excited about? Or have you started thinking about new scents for spring yet? I would also love to hear your opinion on You or someone like you if you're familiar with it 🤗

    Denmark is switching to the EU standard plug too, like Germany and Sweden, I think it's mandatory in new housing.

    I've started reading The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks. It's space opera on a much larger scale than The Expanse, but I'm thoroughly entertained .

    for some countries, they do Christmas Day on the 24th. Poland for instance tends to have the big family get together dinner on the 24th.

    It's the same in Denmark, I wonder if it's a Northern European thing? I think Poland is mostly Catholic whereas Denmark is Lutheran protestant, so it's not just denomination.

    Some of these, especially Valentine's day, could also be labeled "commercial" but I guess that's the nature of capitalism to commercialize any kind of festivities.

    Totally. I always think of this when people say Muslims overreact about drawings of their prophet or people burning their holy book. There were protests in the streets and famous Catholics like Pesci and Madonna attacked O'Connor in the press. Madonna, it seemed, was even more frustrated because this thing completely removed the attention from her new album that came out around the same time.

    Edit: Madonna playing the prude was a nice touch.

    very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.

    Is this what happened with Russell Brand? I just heard he was a sexual predator, not that it was schoolgirls. It's insane that the BBC didn't get any wiser after Saville. It should be easy: don't hire known pervs and definitely don't let them use your stuff to abuse children.

    He said he wanted to give her a good smacking or something. And he hasn't apologized yet as far as I know.

    Around this time Nirvana drew a lot of attention for mocking Top of the Pops by miming hilariously badly to Smells like teen spirit on air. It was a more innocent time. Ripping up a pic of the pope was wild.

    It's the same with Jimmy Saville, everybody knew. I remember chatting on a forum in a thread about celebrities who are absolute assholes. I'm not from the UK, so I didn't know him before somebody in that thread told us about this lady from his little town who was given a small book store by Saville, alledgedly because he had abused her when she was a girl, and threatened to go public. Granted, Sinnead O'Connor took it to another level. And Joe Pesci showed his true colors. What an asshole.

    I'm in Europe, so the problems with coverage shouldn't be an issue here, as far as I've seen.

    As mentioned, I'm a bit miffed about the headphone jack, but I guess I can live with it if their Bluetooth chip is optimized for audio ( I found a post on Fairphone's official forum from a guy who says he's tested the Fairphone 5 several Bluetooth codecs, including aptX,and it works, so that's enough for me.

    I also don't use emulators, so yeah, I guess there's very little reason for me to avoid Fairphone.

    I'm fairly(pun intended) certain my next phone will be a Fairphone. What would be the main reasons not to buy it? I don't mind the size, I don't need an amazing camera but I do wish it had a headphone jack. That said, I expect to flash Lineage on my OnePlus 6 and use it a bit longer, to avoid e-waste for a bit.

    what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English?

    I know what the word means, but I'm unsure how to use it in a sentence. In my native language, Danish,"backorder" translates to "Restordre" and when something is unavailable, we say it's"i Restordre",which translates directly into English as "in backorder", but I'm not sure that's correct English. Do English people say that or just "backordered" or something else?

    Stop Smoking MartinXYZ 1 year ago 100%
    I'm quitting again!

    I stopped smoking last year and shared some of my experiences in /r/stopsmoking, which was one of the few places on Reddit that actually helped me. I hope this place can grow large and active enough to help other people quit the stinky sticks. I started smoking again in March this year. But today I'm quitting again. it's 15.20 here and I haven't smoked yet today. I hope I can stay off the smokes for good this time, but I have a stressful elweek ahead of me, so I'm a bit worried I'm going to fail. Edit: I'm actually surprised how many people have replyed to my post, I guess this community has some lurkers even though there aren't many subscribers. Thank you for the positive thoughts, everybody! 🤗
