100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.

Coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. I eat that pretty much every work day.

Let go of any fear of others expectations for you as soon as you can. Explore what interests you and don’t let others stop you. People come and go, but they’ll come to you faster than they leave if you’re a confident and passionate person. You can only be that if you work on figuring out how you want to live and chase that life.

I went roughly 2 weeks without food after I got out of the hospital from a severe head injury. I tried to eat, but I temporarily lost my sense of taste and my brain hallucinated this absolutely terrible taste in its place. Even my saliva and the inside of my mouth had this taste. In the hospital I mostly got my nutrients via IV.

It’s a bit of both. I’m a photographer and I like to think of my outfits like photos, especially when I’m going somewhere where I plan to network. I want to present myself as someone with a good sense of style and who knows how to make people look good. So my style is my own, but I try to make sure I look good and fit the vibe of where I’m going.

I recently went to a party focused on some spiritual stuff and to match the vibe I got some 3/4 harem pants, but I got ones with a slightly muted floral pattern to make it my own. I made the rest of my outfit plain and dark to match and really emphasize the new pants. It was a style a bit outside my comfort zone, but was a big hit and I got lots of compliments.

I’m 28. I hang out with one friend at least 1-3 times a week. I see the rest of them once every few months, but we’re all in discord pretty frequently. I also have friends in the local kink scene I see relatively often depending on how many events I go to.

I’m an amnesiac and one of the first things I learned is that memories don’t really matter. The past is over, what matters is what you choose to do and not what you did. Obviously people do terrible and sometimes unforgivable things. I can sympathize with people who can’t let stuff go, but I personally just can’t be bothered by it anymore though. I have and will offer support to even my abusers.

To me, a person is how they act and what they want in the present. Lived experience affects everything a person does, the parts of a person’s past that are relevant reveal themselves in the present through how a person is.

Late 20s. I get hangovers now, but a bunch of water in the morning clears it up pretty quick. Soreness takes extra stretches and massaging to get rid of. I haven’t been sick in years. Injuries take about the same time, but hurt a bit more.

I love Magic Pengel and Graffiti Kingdom. First is a turn-based JRPG, second is an action platformer. Both share the same gimmick where you collect materials to make the characters you play with the clunky in-game 3D modeler.

I personally love reading about ancient Mesopotamia and China in The Warring States Period.

If it’s only 5/10, I probably wouldn’t watch it. Maybe I’d do a few seconds to a minute. My friends pass around mid meme videos all the time and I barely watch any. If i’m not sober however, then probably like 5 mins.

If you really feel this way, I would strongly recommend limiting your time spent on the internet. Your time should be valuable to you. If you’re not happy with what you spend your time on, then do something else.

I personally couldn’t care less if the people I respond to are real. I only reply if I feel like I have something useful to contribute and it will still be useful to others even if I’m replying to a bot. If something makes me mad or hopeless or whatever, I just move on.

I have a playlist of songs that I can’t stop myself from singing along to. That usually helps a ton.

My first name is Hebrew, it was supposedly the name of the father of David. My last name is Italian, apparently it was once a derogatory term.

I don’t think we’re heading towards a monoculture. Actually much like Cyberpunk, you’ll find the most striking pockets of unique cultures in small spaces relevant to whatever group is there. Go to a skatepark and you’ll think the people there are talking another language. Go to a concert or rave and you’ll see all kinds of different subcultures and fashion styles depending on what kind of music is playing. Even here on Lemmy you see different cliques and subcultures. There are astrology conferences and Beyblade tournaments and everything in between. Theres also always little pockets of ethnic groups, foreign to where they are, all over the world. I love finding different groups and the things they orbit around and the lingo they develop and the ideas and values they have. They’re not as easy to find as they are in a video game, but they’re out there and it’s a much more rich experience to get to know those people than in a video game.

I can’t describe it well because I’m not an anthropologist, but the changes in the larger zeitgeist over the years I’ve been around seems to be pretty normal too. I don’t think there’ll ever be some kind of monoculture, just that what makes groups different will naturally change over time.

Yeah assuming it’s a Dutch bible, my American brain won’t be able to recognize the words from their pixelated silhouette.

The top book is illegible. The bottom book appears to say “Aurelius Augustinus Bel…” DDG auto corrects that to “aurelius augustinus belijdenissen”. Seems to be some kind of Dutch Christian text.

Edit: The “Ambo” at the end I think connects it to this publisher https://www.amboanthos.nl/boek/belijdenissen/

In those situations, I repeat it back to them and ask if I got it right. In my experience, people with accents tend to be amused when people earnestly struggle to pronounce their names.

If you’re in the US, you should get the number for your post office and ask about doing a parcel intercept. I believe you’ll need ID that puts you at the address like a license.

With good aim and planning, you could do both.
