I read lots of books. Libby is an app to electronically check out books from your local library for free. You can also read lots of amateur stories online on various sites. Royal Road has been one of my favorite sites for regular stories that you can read in public.

Lemisset@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ex-believers, what made you quit your religion/cult?11·4 months agoThe church’s overall support for trump and anti-vax/anti-mask positions were a strong counter to the doctrine of sanctification, especially as support tended to increase among older populations. Sanctification is central enough to Christianity to be one of the pillars that either proves or disproves it.

Lemisset@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?10·8 months agoI think enshittification is hitting everything, but it’s probably also that you are old. I find that I just can’t eat the same way that I could 20 years ago.
Lemisset@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline9·11 months agoSame here! Too much union busting for me to feel comfortable buying things there. I’m sure they’ve done other stuff, but that alone was enough for me.
Lemisset@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?2·1 year agoThe trick is that while you hold your ears ‘open’, you have your lungs try to not breath out but you don’t close your mouth. This lets the heart beating against your lungs be what pushes air in and out and then you hear the sounds of the air pulses as it moves past your eustachian tubes in your throat. Making sure your lungs are as full as possible is required so the lungs push against the heart.
Lemisset@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?5·1 year agoI can do this. If I’m in a really quiet area, I like to take in a deeper breath and then exhale as slowly as possible while doing it, which then allows me to hear my heartbeat. Super nifty.
I can also use my soft pallet to block airflow from my throat to my nose. Can you do that too?

Lemisset@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence?23·1 year agoWhenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I’ve been making a lot more coffee at home.
I’m using a regular pixel 4a. Does a degoogled version still have the awesome pixel call screening?
Lemisset@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some sex ed info you didn't know until embarrasingly late?24810·2 years agoI learned in college (from my nurse girlfriend) that if a girl is taking antibiotics that it invalidates her birth control pills for the month and you need to use condoms until after her period.
Spread the word, brothers.
When I was a kid my dad would trap local stray cats, drive 50 miles away and then release them. If you have a forest a fair distance away you could do the same. It’s not a great solution, but it’s something.
