I hate it so much

My first thought is going for walks around where you live. If there are green spaces along the way that's even better. You can turn it into kind of a workout where you do longer and longer walks, or the same length but a little faster each time.
It's a good way to clear your mind, it also never hurts to be active.
Inbox was superior in every way, that's what did it for me. I also remember the good old days of iGoogle, a page that could be customized with widgets, and Schemer where users could set challenges and goals for other users.

We need an "ftfy bot" that puts the censored words back in full. These scribbled and other self-corrected words are so annoying.

Made (painfully) with Bing. The prompt was [Words that form the shape of a person in a friendly small neighborhood, everything is made solely and entirely of words]
I always worry that I'll compliment someone, they'll have a look at my shabby self and it will have the opposite effect of them never wearing the thing again.
Blame Canada
There's "Well there's your problem". In each episode, the hosts break down an engineering disaster. The episodes are one to several hours long each, and they are thorough, entertaining, and you learn a ton.
There's also a video version that contains slides with pictures and graphs.
I would suggest as a starter episode 139, The impossible railroad, which I thought was a fun one. Or 146 on the Mount Everest, that was eye-opening. Those are the recent ones that stand out to me.
The night before December 6th, children leaves their shoes on front of the chimney, along with a glass of milk and a carrot for Saint-Nicholas and his donkey (other countries say it's a horse, but it's a donkey for us).
Saint-Nicholas leaves a bunch (like, a lot) of candy and toys during the night for children to find when they wake up.
Traditional treats include speculoos, chocolate coins, nuts, clementines and "guimauve" (like marshmallows but a little less soft, in the shape of clogs or religious figures, sometimes chocolate-covered).
Also, on Easter, children will find eggs in their backyard. They are dropped by "the bells". The story is that the bells of Rome fly across Europe and drop eggs along the way (see this postcard). So when the children are done finding all the eggs, they shout "THANK YOU BELLS".
