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 🤞

Aww, they’re sending you on a quest!

Is it time to install TikTok?

spoiler its not, my attention span is already too fucked

Is immigrating harder nowadays? My parents moved from Russia to Germany in 2004, and it sounds like it wasn’t really that hard. My dad just had to find a job first to prove secure income and then we could move 🤷 My husband’s parents came over around the same time on a jewish reparation program, because some of their ancestors used to live in Germany. They always said it was pretty easy as well.

He seemed like the kind of guy who’d be into thighs tbh

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.

This is also a good time to consider not having kids at all. Imagine how bad Internet brainrot will get in 5-10 years.

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 ^^

haha yeah, it’s a weird name

yoo congrats! What dose are you on, if I may ask?

I started on 10mg of Medikinet Retard (same thing as Adderall XR iirc) about a week and a half ago, and the effect has been… very subtle. Slightly longer feeling days, slightly more things getting done right away, maybe a bit easier time planning? The naps have been pretty good too, but that might just be because I had to quit caffeine during titration :o

Love that site, especially for just browsing categories!

Pygmy Hippos aren’t as murderous as their larger cousins!

It was kind of the opposite for my partner and I. Apparently we first met when we randomly sat across each other in the University cafeteria. Apparently we even talked, but neither of us remembers it. We were in exactly the same courses too, just never noticed or remembered each other.
We officially met on Tinder like a month after that. Only our buddies who were sitting next to us in the cafeteria remembered that they (and by extension us) had met before.

We are inherently forgetful and unromantic though, this year we forgot our 6th anniversary and only noticed like 4 days later

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!!

I’d say try out Super Auto Pets! It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you grasp the system it’s very fun to come in 1-2x a week and do the weekly pack. They’re also one of the most ethical mobile games I’ve ever seen when it comes to payments. Most of them are one-time only and actually get you a good amount of extra content. There is a monthly subscription thing, but last I checked it’s basically just for cosmetics.
