Can someone please tell spain and the people living there that it is not normal to stay inside with your winter coat and shoes on and be cold when outside are 10 degrees? In Romania we stay in a tshirt inside when outside there are -10 degrees or less.
INSULATION! That's the difference Spain!
It is amazing to me how Spain, and other tribes too, waste so much energy and people feel uncomfortable too, just because they do not insulate their houses. We have put carpets in the entire house here in Spain, use a gas heater in the day time or go on the terrace if it is sunny since it is much warmer than inside, and have fluffy clothes designed for the winter that we use inside. And still it is COLD and uncomfortable!
It is insane. Inside humidity is being created and thus a lot of mold. We have to clean and paint.... It is a disaster Spain!
Overall a massive waste of energy and a lot of discomfort.

Fact Check: Tom Hanks Once Said He Had 'No Respect' for People Who Wouldn't Wear Masks During the Pandemic?
"I don't get it. I simply do not get it. It is literally the least you can do," Hanks was purported to have once said.
Your example is really exaggerated. Songs and podcasts are an entirely different thing. You are comparing a 3 minutes audio that is meant to make you dance or sing, with an hour long mouth-talking audio?
Movies and documentaries at times overlap like in the case of the above example which tries to "teach" you about that scientist. And overall their format is very similar in many regards. Stories that you follow. In that regards yes, I find movies (most of them) boring and useless. Reality is far more complex and interesting.

Oh wait, are people still eating 3 meals a day? I've only eaten 2 meals a day for the past....idk....2 decades? :D - and everyone I know probably.... I think 3 meals a day is too much. In fact there is a positive outcome to eating less. You age slower ;).
Anyway, yeah people are being poorer it seems. Prices are rising. Thank God for the mighty Economy and the fantasy money we worship :)

We have removed Paypal from our donation options for our 200 for TROM campaign tromsite.com/donate/ because it was not working properly and because Paypal was not supporting recurring donations without a card anyway, therefore you were still forced to use a card for creating a donation. Therefore we are now relying one Stripe for the donations, which works perfectly fine. Anyone who has a credit card can donate to our ongoing campaign.
Those who are still donating through Paypal can still donate, so no worries about that. But if you can switch to Stripe it would be more reliable. Simple log in to tromsite.com/access and under the Donor Dashboard change the payment option. In case you need help contact us via tromsite.com/contact/
And a lot of thank-yous to those who support TROM via our campaign. We are still in need of a lot more support so if you can, please consider a donation.

in reply to Tio • •I understand your perspective Tio, but it is crucial to avoid generalisations about an entire country based on your personal experience on the Girona coast. Spain is diverse, with significant climatic variations between regions. In addition, preferences and practices in climate management can differ considerably.
It is true that in some areas, such as the Girona coast, the climate is more temperate compared to colder places such as Romania. This can influence people's heating habits and needs. Rather than assuming that the experience in Girona reflects the reality of the whole country, it would be more accurate to recognise the climatic and cultural diversity of Spain.
Personally I think that sometimes it would be better to let that frustration out by talking face to face with a person, a friend possibly. I say stupid things a lot of times because I need to discharge my frustration but I don't post it on the internet.

in reply to Rafa Peris • •For one, this post is not meant to be taken that seriously. It is a simple rant after 10+ years of living in Spain under these conditions and hearing everyone complain about it, from many areas around Spain. So that's what the post is, a simple rant based on my experience.
Second, what made me post about it (and I should have linked to that because I cannot find the post anymore) was a popular reddit post where someone was asking why is it so cold inside the houses in Spain, why aren't them insulated. And I was reading through the comments and seen how many complain about that. I think there were thousands of comments there.
So I suspect, from my experience, that this is the case overall in Spain. But is nothing that serious. If I were that serious I would have look at studies/statistics to learn more about that.
It is beyond ridiculous to read on well known and popular spanish news websites that it is recommended to buy an electric blanket or use candles to make yourself warm in Spain :)).
Anyway, don't take things too personal or too serious Rafa. This is

Anyway, don't take things too personal or too serious Rafa. This is indeed a stupid situation that is happening in at least many places in Spain and other similar tribes where insulating houses seems to not be that popular.
