You can tell them you're not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it's a ONE time "double" buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don't end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.

Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn't expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon as I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don't get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it's out of stock.

It's been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.

Or... or you read it in the 3 word title of a meme. Doesn't matter, learned word.

I'm not totally sure why Hungary is with a different colour but at this point it could as well be just red (see legend).

This is great news and in any civilised country it would be enough to topple the government, or at least knock a few corrupt politicians out of their chair. Too bad it's playing in Hungary, instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm still hoping for the best, but there was a similar spark of hope back when one of Orbán's former oligarchs turned against him. Nothing happened, the propaganda worked and the masses voted for them again.

Then Gábor Kaleta, the Hungarian Ambassador of Peru was caught having watched terabytes of child pornography on a CP site. While he was actually condemned, he only got one year suspended prison sentence and a laughable amount of fines (considering the crime, the volume and his position): 540K HUF which amounts to ~1360 EUR. Did that make people totally pissed? Not really. The governing party, FIDESZ made a law "against paedophiles" to "protect children and families", and intentionally mashed paedophiles and gay people together, making bookstores wrap any kind of book that may contain the slightest amount of LGBT topic. Their voters were happy for it.

Then József Szájer, the MP of the gay bashing, Brussels hating government's coalition party, KDNP (Christian Democratic People's Party) was caught trying to escape out of the window, down the gutter pipe from a gay gangbang party, with some kind of drug (Ecstasy?) in his backpack, wearing only underpants. Did Fidesz's support decrease? Hell, no. They won another 2/3 of the votes on the next election.

Then (more recently), due to some unlikely luck, someone found out that the President of the Republic pardoned a person who was trying to cover up for the paedophile head of a foster home who abused a dozen kids (these pardons are usually not made public for some reason). Some investigation started and it turned out that she (the PotR) was pressioned by the aforementioned KDNP's main politicians. For the pardon to take effect, the head of the Ministry of Justice also had to confirm it. Guess what, that person is Judit Varga, the ex wife in the main article. They (the PotR and Varga) both resigned, but the KDNP member refused to. Did that discourage people from supporting FIDESZ? Not the slightest bit. The ones who were never the strongest fans and neutral/opposition voters got outraged by it, understandably. But FIDESZ's 2/3 was still standing strong. Imagine MAGA level ignorance.

...aaaaand now, as it turns out, the HEAD of the friggin' MINISTRY OF JUSTICE knew about this investigation going on about Völner, even warned him to stop, and did absolutely nothing when he even refused to stop. Not just that, but according to the recording, she even knew about the Cabinet chief trying to tamper with sensitive documents and scripts about this case (trying to cut ties to themselves).

I wonder if the voters are outraged by this more than the fearmongering done by FIDESZ about LGBT people, Soros, immigrants (while they are the ones trying to incorporate/settle Chinese policemen to expand the CCP's surveillance, Philippino bus drivers, Thai battery factory workers, etc.), the EU, Western European states and a former prime minister (who was and is god awful to date, to be fair) taking over the country and running it into the ground. Considering the past 14 years, I think I could bet money.

Before I would get any itch to join the TikTok trend back when it started, I heard that the Chinese Communist Party was collecting some worrying amount of information on their user base, has been suppressing and/or blocking content that raised voice about the uyghur situation and did various nasty things. So I thought I would stay away from that until the situation improves. I have never heard a fraction of information about that happening. Did everyone just suddenly stop caring about how disgustingly TikTok treats privacy and user data (and how they suppress voices they don't like), or did I just simply miss the bit where they stopped doing all those things?

Because that's one of the many reasons I haven't touched it with a stick.

Also, one of the main reasons the Russian army has been underperforming is corruption. Loads of money siphoned, incompetent people getting positions, you name it. Zelenskyy is also making sure the same doesn't happen in his country and stays on top performance/efficiency wise.
