Tbh in a sense this is the way tho…In the way that no singular event should be a defining victimization but instead to self-determine a better future. Complaining keeps you in the past, but having hope propels you forward into a future of possibilities.
Feel sad, feel upset, but don’t settle into the feeling. It is only a moment, and the way you respond will lead you down the path you choose with that response.
Bold to assume that it’s an instinct and not a taught and learned behavior.
I appreciate the article acknowledging that systemic changes are needed to really be effective.
For people who live in colder climates, I’d assume harder to heat
Oh wow thank you! Added to my book list, much appreciated!
No worries about the length of time. Would you happen to know the book you read? I’d be real interested in reading it! I’m very aware of skin barrier damage (had acne when a teenager and killed the barrier so I kept getting acne until I healed that up!) but never thought about those stinky bits having their own…something to ponder on
That’s a how to guide for blocking Amazon and their web services! Will friend be sharing the project? Sounds cool!
I’ve actually read that using soap everywhere actually might be harming our skin barrier if showering every day. It seems soap on the armpits, genitals, and any stinky parts are the only place you should wash daily.
The article in question: https://web.archive.org/web/20220121065824/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/magazine/my-no-soap-no-shampoo-bacteria-rich-hygiene-experiment.html
Also, haven’t read it yet, but “The Joy of Sweat” by Sarah Everts seems like a good look at sweat.
But also, yeah use deodorant around other people. I’d suggest something unscented because really fragrant smells can be just as aggressively stinky (in the opposite way) as natural sweat.
The first mistake was picking up a random phone call. Can’t get scammed if you never pick up haha!
But yeah, if money is involved, I initiate the call to the person. If you didnt call, don’t give out information!
As someone who lives with their parents in adulthood and is planning on moving soon but racked with guilt about leaving, most of the people I talked to about this seem to say that you need to live your own life. So basically, think only of your own wants and needs and not others. Even tho I’ll be farther than my other sibling, I’ll probably still be the one my parents lean on for support. For me, I always saw myself as taking care of my parents out of my love for them. So I’m not bothered by my siblings lack of care because I’m motivated through my own desire to help and care. Idk if that helps?
1000km is around 621 miles, which is what I get for my car. This is seriously huge but unfortunate it’s a pricey brand rather than something more affordable for consumers like rural and small town residence.
Good investment? Nah, that thing loses value like it’s a job. Car investments are worthless from what I’ve seen. On the brightside, the market for used cars is actually in high demand so you’ll get more for a car than in other times. Car buying, if you dont have a downpayment or good credit, is very difficult so sticking with owner sales would be your best bet, or short term rental like mentioned. Alternative, any coworkers who live around you? As someone who carpools with a coworker, it’s not a bad thing to do.
I think this would be a really cool idea and not one I can think of already so would be interested
Music I use Metro, mostly for its UI. Most of the other music players in fdroid look kinda ugly or crowded, so Metro was one that works and looks much better (or different). It works and looks like Samsung Music player hence why I picked it.
For note taking app, I enjoy using Notally, it’s the closest to how the Samsung Notes app worked, so I can easily make a todo list or jot down a note (and putting things on seperate lines! Surprising to find some apps didn’t let me?) I also have Joplin to sync some references and such.
I haven’t found a good Diary app yet, but looking for one to use for gardening purposes.
Vpn don’t know, I have NordVPN and they dont have their app on fdroid
Maps, what everyone else suggests
Messenger apps again, what everyone else suggested
Social media again, what others suggested
Peertube I don’t use for uploading videos, I watch using NewPipe
Todo app I use Notally mentioned above! I also have SimpleTask for grocery management but it’s meant to be a todo app. That one has lots of functionality tho so I’m sure it can work well for you!
Money, mainly. In my area, there are jobs offering far more per hour than what I get at my current job. I’m talking double what I make for a job that doesn’t even require a college degree. And it isn’t even like it’s the only news station in the area, there are three total in the area, so they should be offering more.
Outside of that, I do like my job, and probably have far more freedom than most jobs. I question management decisions often, but if you are just chilling then it isn’t a bother
Local news but considering leaving it all behind and starting a farm
I’m also looking to get into HAM, since a coworker of mine is super into it…but I still am having problems with maintaining a server so idk if I should get into it
The city if Philadelphia banned cashless stores, so going to other major cities, it’s wild seeing the prevalence of cashless stores. Where I live cash is still king but I do see the slow switch over happening
Work at a news station, so I see the national and local news every day. Also some email subs and social media like lemmy and mastodon, sometimes Tumblr
If you let go of the feeling that you were owed something (love, friendship, etc) in a relationship and just enjoy the time you spent together and what you learned from it, loss becomes a lot easier to deal with.
Also, people change, maybe you left the relationship before that happened. The relationship you remembered is not the relationship you’d be in now. I find that helpful to remember too.
