Why would it make you a bad person? You might live to be 90 and you could have 40 good years with your kid. There are young parents who die young as well, so I don’t see how that would be a problem.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll have a look!

Haha, to be honest it took me a bit to figure out you might have meant nephew. XD I must admit I even looked it up to see if there was a different meaning to the word that I didn’t know about. :'-)

Thanks for the tips. I do vaguely remember seeing a setting somewhere but I think I’ll need to look into it more when I’m more awake (it’s past midnight here).

Isn’t neoprene a synthetic material?

My husband also uses the power button to power off his PC. I didn’t even know it was a thing until he asked me to do it for him at some point and I was very confused. He’s on Windows. I didn’t know this worked on Linux as well (though I know it’s a thing on laptops). Is there a way to configure what it does (on PC) like it does on laptops?

People don’t do this? Sitting in dirty water for a period of time doesn’t make me feel any cleaner.

It’s a Shiba Inu.

You may need to install steam-devices to get controller support to work.

I use Pop!_OS and have had zero issues getting my Nvidia GPU to work on it, so that or a similar Linux distro that has good Nvidia driver support might be worth checking out.

I’m in my mid 30s and have never been drunk before. I don’t like how alcohol tastes and drinking it doesn’t really add much value for me. The only alcoholic beverages I do like are Baileys, Pisang Ambon (mixed with 7up/Sprite), white chocolate liquor and Tokkelroom. Recently discovered Salmari and I like that as well. I very rarely drink any of that, though, and when I do it’s like one glass at most. Tokkelroom though…I like it so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point I ended up eating all of that in one go.

If I need to get up at 5AM I just set my alarm and as soon as the alarm goes off I hop out of bed, to force myself to actually get up before I get the chance to start thinking about it (and postponing the getting up part).

As for what I do in the evening: if getting up at 5AM every day is my goal I just start by setting my alarm at 5, and aim to go to bed earlier. If I did go to bed late the night before, I would still set my alarm at 5 and just be tired the next day. Because the next day I’ll feel so tired I’ll automatically end up going to bed earlier. So it works itself out. So if I really wanted or needed to get up at 5AM every day I’d just do it even if I didn’t sleep enough hours the night before. Once I’m in a routine I don’t even need to set my alarm. I’ll just automatically wake up at that hour.

Almost like a calzone?

And they say knives and tools in the kitchen are dangerous. No, it’s the food!

Oh the uncooked ones! Actually, I vaguely recall doing the same thing once. I also tend to cut my hands on plastic food packaging.

And I was once peeling a boiled egg and suddenly the egg turned ‘pink’. Cut myself on the egg shell.

Wait, how?

And ‘lmao’ and ‘rofl’.

Yes, I’m pretty sure everyone has a drawer like that. One thing I’m missing (unless I’m just not looking hard enough) is scissors.

It’s my first time seeing comments like on your previous post on Lemmy. I share your views on skin colour/looks and I think every human being is equal. We all look different and unique and we should embrace that uniqueness.

I totally see where you’re coming from and I’m wondering if there’s some misunderstanding going on. You didn’t even mention America in that post yet others judge you because you’re “obviously an outsider”. I feel like there might be two conversations going on here that don’t completely align here.

I think perhaps these people are referring to the need to put people in boxes just because many minorities are suppressed and need to be heard. So basically if you’re part of a minority and you are being mistreated you naturally feel more comfortable with other people in a similar situation and thus you’re automatically putting yourself in that box (I don’t mean voluntarily). And in order for that minority to be heard they need to stand up for that minority/group of people.

I can see why this comes across as racist and I can totally see where you’re coming from (like I said, I share the same views about equality and your looks should not matter at all).

But this leaves me with the question whether these people just didn’t understand where you were coming from? They are kind of turning you into the bad guy when in my eyes you definitely aren’t.

True, sometimes it’s really simple ones, too. And sometimes I do spell it correctly but when I reread it I start to doubt myself because the word looks weird. Even though I did spell it correctly.

That’s true! I’m honestly not sure why we need to have both ei and ij. Must be difficult for people learning the language.

In Dutch we pronounce it like “way”. It’s much shorter than double U.
