You can definitely get used to it but THAT fast? I've been slowly eating more and more spicy the past year going from Sriracha to ghost pepper. But it's addictive, I put something spicy in almost every meal now. If you like chili see if you can find a shop selling Mexican snacks and salsas. If you're in eastern Europe another alternative is Hungarian paprika which is a different flavor but can get very hot too.

And it seems my local imports store also sells these chili strips so now I gotta try them.

To be fair Europeans have been whining about paper straws and bottle caps since forever too. It's not a purely American thing.

We were in late high school, it's not like we had no responsibilities. Pretty much every year after that has been better than middle/high school for me.

You should be enjoying the school years cause they'll be the best of your life. Said by someone who very obviously peaked in high school.

Started reading Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar. I had underestimated it (or overestimated my Spanish). A large part seems to be a stream of consciousness that is pretty hard to focus on but moving between chapters in different parts of the book actually helps a bit.

Yeah this photo looks like an ideal city. In reality this is a small (and pretty rich) neighborhood and the bike lane is about 3km leading to a big road. Most of Athens is very car-centric.

Which makes this an issue since no one will go read the whole list of laws

This has the unintended consequence of people not knowing about the law if it goes unenforced for a long time.

I don't have a pixel but if I did the only viable option is the cash payout. Apparently Google Store isn't available in my country either :)

Were phones with Lishen batteries only sold in those countries? If not then I guess I'll just fly to Germany for a free battery replacement.

Anything by Jeff Vandermeer. Maybe Margaret Atwood too but I've only read Oryx and Crake (which was great but not sure how much it fits here). Tender is the Flesh is really good and pretty dark. Blindness by José Saramago. If you're looking for something really weird then House of Leaves (but warning, it's not exactly a normal story and you should get the physical book).
