Totally valid, I have the same thing but with Russian! There’s also an aspect of just being not very good at the language, so when speaking it at home I basically never had a chance to sufficiently vocalize my thoughts or defend myself in arguments - just because I was never taught enough words for that.

I basically refuse to speak it unless directly talking to my own or my partners parents. Though the hope is to break contact with my parents soon 🤞

Advocating for basic empathy is really not a thing that has to be gatekept to one gender 🤷

Definitely stainless steel pans! They take a bit to get used to, but they’re so much more convenient because you don’t have to baby them like teflon pans. Cleaning is also much easier, I just scrape them down with a metal spatula and throw them in the dishwasher.

I think being intelligent gets you better jobs and more money sooo 🤷

I use a radiant heat panel in my snakes Terrarium, the human-sized versions of them look pretty promising imo. You could install one on the ceiling right above your work desk so that it radiates the warmth down. They might be a bit on the pricey side though.

I have to admit that I won’t be on good terms again with my sibling for a long while. They did some very distressing things this year that were a large contributor to my burnout. Never apologized for it, never tried to fix anything. I’m done with that tbh

Also a good option: !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Cracking your Switch is extremely easy if you have one from 2017/18 that is in the right serial number range ^^

Love that site, especially for just browsing categories!

That would make sense! With how debilitating it would be to struggle with both hands, I guess it would make a lot of sense to classify it as a disorder

Awesome, that’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!

Anyone remember the time when “big data” was supposed to be the next big thing?

Ah, makes sense. Guess it just depends on what you’re familiar with. I’d interpret “Alpine Meadow” as either a meadow in the Alps, or as a meadow that looks like a meadow in the Alps lol

I have never seen a situation where buying a phone from a carrier is worth it. Is buying the phone you want separately not an option for you?

My phone bill (unlimited calls/ 12GB mobile data) is 7€ a month. So even 89$ a month seems really extreme imo.

I’m out of the loop, is the word Alpine used to refer to anything that isn’t the Alps?

Y’know that we made math up, right?

Not straight, and not a man, but I just think they’re neat! There really doesn’t need to be a “why” to attraction, sometimes your brain just sees something and goes “yes”

Yeah, that’s very valid! I’d like to think that the technology got safer in the past years, but honestly I don’t even wanna check and risk having to give up the coziness

I guess, but fire isn’t very healthy either I think

The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn’t be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk

Pro tip: whenever a relative asks you to fix their computer, wipe everything and set up Linux for them. That’ll teach em.
