Oh, definitely but it's shockingly bad when using YT without logging in

Yeah, as good as Youtube's algorithms are at pushing hardcore right-wing content on completely fresh accounts in like 3 clicks, my accounts have been around for so long that my recommends tend to be on the money most of the time.

I discover multiple new channels each month from my recommends whereas 10 years ago I'd occasionally check a channel that a friend recommended or was embedded on a forum post

If I'm not in a hurry, aimlessly wandering the aisles is weirdly relaxing

Same thing in Finland. The "coin menu" where you could get a cheeseburger for 1 euro and a double cheeseburger for 2 euros was a huge institution for years and years. First they raised the prices to 1,20 and 2,20 but during these recent price hikes I'm pretty sure it's like 2+ euros for a regular cheeseburger and 3+ euros for a double cheeseburger. The triple cheeseburger, a semi-frequent menu item used to be priced consistently with the other two cheeseburgers at 3 euros, now it's like 5 michael-laugh

Religious decor is one thing but does it also need to look so kitschy

That's actually nice to hear. I just assumed it was a Kinguin-style operation from their pricing

I don't have a VPN, which is apparently a requirement to torrenting games, movies and TV shows in this day and age.

I do still torrent things, but I try to stick to older/obscure stuff. Guess I'm averse to getting disapproving letters from the copyright police

I usually end up buying from resellers in cases where I've been waiting for one of the big Steam sales for a game, only to discover the price not discounted as much as I'd hoped.

Or, in the last case where I used cdkeys.com, I waited until the last day of the Steam Summer Sale to get a game but found out that game's discount had already ended, presumably due to timezone shenanigans or something. Went to check cdkeys and the game was still there with the discounted price so yeah, I ended up getting a grey market key.

I was being a bit facetious since what Finnish does have is cases, and tons and tons of them

I would imagine trying to memorise the dozens of ways every noun can be modified would be a fucking nightmare for a non native speaker
