Death metal. Death metal while birding (or more like processing footage). Death metal while cross stitching. Death metal while crocheting. It’s a weird outlet that I mostly keep to myself.

Wait how is that pronounced? I’ve always read it as Mah-Ca-Burr. It’s one of these words I learned through text exposure rather than English classes…

Last time I was down with the Plague™, I was in bed, chugging jugs of thyme tea (helps a lot with wet cough), and taking ibuprofen/pseudoephedrine for the fever and stuffy nose. Also I watched the entire history of the Earth documentary series while sorting out my mystery embroidery floss. That helped a lot to keep me busy. Sleeping is good but I feel like I lose track of time and that triggers my depression. But I usually recommend it a lot to my patients.

Some brands seem to make it crunchy. I just eat that like cereal with soy milk or yogurt. I made the mistake of buying cheap muesly from the local convenience store and it was exactly how you described it. It was the “let sit overnight” type. Except it had cornflakes in it that would get soggy and fall apart.

I forced myself to eat most of it, the rest went to my local murder of crows who picked at the dried fruit and cornflakes and left the oats to the pigeons to deal with. I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like them.

As for the crunchiness, maybe try making it into granola in the oven? Not sure if that would work but it’s worth a shot.

You have a pussy

I have a dick

So what’s the problem

Let’s do it quick

Ausländer is good too. Maybe some Mann gegen Mann part if you’re looking for a boyfriend (assuming you’re male).

Why would anyone even put a Rammstein stanza on their tinder? It’s edgy and rather cringy in my opinion for both initiated and uninitiated.

Half of the people I regularly talk to are on WhatsApp. I don’t like it but that’s reality, it’s hard to get them to migrate because this means that people THEY talk to would have to do the same. Also a good chunk of them use rakuten Viber. Now why do they use THAT? It’s bloated, ad-ridden, and buggy. Almost nobody I know is on telegram. In fact most are still using Facebook messenger.

My mobile plan. The standard is signing for 24 months. I can’t really choose a plan that suits me, they stick virtually unlimited calls (which I barely use), and add mobile data that I can’t use up either. Settling for less barely reduces my bill if at all for whatever reason. On top of this, despite me signing for a set fixed amount to pay, they decide to “index” an extra 10-15% every year due to “unforseen circumstances” like inflation. And every time I sign a new contract I get an extra 10% on top of my bill for the same features I don’t use. Oh and they add a “happy call” where the call signal sounds like a piercing annoying very low quality melody, despite me denying the service. Switching to another telecom doesn’t really remedy the problem, the other two on the market here seem worse than mine in every respect.

Looking at the prepaid features, we’re looking at a 40-50% reduction in monthly fees, just paying for what I use, whenever I want to use it. It’s needlessly annoying switching from a subscription to a prepaid plan. You’d have to switch telecoms for a month and switch back to the one you like the most if you want to keep your number.

So yeah, as soon as my contract expires, I’m done with renewing. I’m sick of this.

You mean titles are meant to be read? Whoops!

Terminator-2.

I remember the info campaign of my country’s change of currency when it got pegged to the Deutschmark after it did a Venezimbabwe. It was by a popular children’s/teen tv show host.

I was about 2 or 3 but the only thing I remember is the news anchors repeating the word “Chechen” all the time. I understood nothing but it sounded funny.

We had a stereo with an inbuilt vinyl record player, as well as cassette tape player.

I played NES games on Terminator-2. Post-soviet collapse flooded the market with knockoffs which were decent for the price.

I remember watching Bill Clinton’s scandal on the news though I had little idea what happened, nor what impeachment meant.

This is exactly what I’m doing right now. I play a game that I can play for 2 hours daily max and it’s fine, I can do without it easily. I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.

I feel like I didn’t word myself properly because I haven’t played WoW or any of the “problematic” games for 6 months now. I managed to keep myself occupied with cross stitching and books. It’s when I see footage/hear music that I get these feelings of wanting to play again.

I actually agree with you but the mental health communities on Lemmy haven’t caught up yet, and I figured one could find more people here that could relate.

Not sure about that but in my native language the words for “if” and “poop” are spelled the same, so every time I type “ако” I get the 💩 as a suggestion.

It probably doesn’t contribute much to the discussion but I felt compelled to share.

Edit: also “правя” which translates as making/doing (i.e making dinner, doing everything possible" automatically suggests “sex” and “blowjobs” despite me never sexting…

As a cross stitcher - !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

Might be talking out of my ass here but prog metal artists tend to have high education, usually in music. In fact I saw a bachelor’s degree programme for progressive metal in the university of Gothenburg!

We have this reputation solely because people feel threatened and offended when you tell them that you refuse to eat animal products. They suddenly start being confrontational and refuse to listen to your reasoning.

It’s like arguing with little children who plug their ears and sing while you’re trying to explain that 30% of the reason we’re in a climate crisis is their overconsumption of animal products, derived from creatures capable of emotion, able to see, hear, and smell not unlike you and me.

And those conversations do not come up unsolicited but provoked by meat eaters asking “but why would you do that to yourself?”

But maybe I’m being overly dramatic and preachy 🤦

If I didn’t completely kill your interest in the topic, check out Ed Winters on YouTube.

So did I, then I decided to stop eating corpses and eat even more of these secretions. One chapter into Jesus Ed’s book and I don’t think I’m ever going back to this lifestyle.

People think I’m crazy and extreme for not participating but I enjoy my “frozen dessert” and “nut/seed drink” without feeling like having blood on my hands.

Tales of Maj’eyal. A free to play open source roguelike that I hate. This game is amazing. Fuck this game. Also definitely recommend. But fuck this game. After numerous 10-12 hour long runs, I have yet to win.

Mostly when I feel unwell, but not enough to call in sick at work or at the store. Also at home when I share a room with somebody while I’m ill.
