i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If youre bi do you have to prove it?5·29 days agoNo. I’ll take someone at their word about their sexual orientation.
If someone is bi and they only date people of the opposite gender, they’re still bi. They’re not straight but want to be different.
If someone is bi and they only date people of the same gender, they’re still bi. They’re not gay in denial.
If someone says they’re bi, and they’re not… Who cares?
I think it happens often. Doesn’t make it right. I’m sorry she said something so hurtful to you.
If you want advice or just to talk, message me. I will listen.
Curious about the meaning of life? I don’t think we’re really assigned roles. We’re just kind of here. You can just do the minimum if you want, just securing food and shelter. Or you can choose to do more if you have the means. You have the freedom to assign your own meaning to your life. I find most people either pursue religion/spirituality, community service, knowledge, or pleasure.

i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s your secret(s) to happiness?20·1 month agoThe less I have to worry about the essentials, the happier I am. The essentials being…
-
Personal safety
-
Access to clean water and food
-
Access to healthcare
-
Access to housing that is adequate/does not make me sick
I still have to worry about all of the above a moderate amount, so it makes it a lot harder to deal with anything that makes me happy. If I hate my job, all of the above get a lot harder to secure, so I would need to tread carefully. My previous housing situation made me extremely sick, so I had to pay a lot more to find something that didn’t hurt me. (And therefore made it so I have to put off essential medical procedures.)
It’s not all bad, but I would imagine removing those barriers would lead me to the freedom to make decisions that make me happier.

Not at all. My changes are trash and this button reflects that.
Make your home as unattractive to pests as possible. You’re not going to be able to have airflow and keep the pests out of your computer.
Below is a dump of things I did when I had to deal with roaches.
Reduce moisture as much as possible. Roaches love water. Any leaks, even slow ones, should be addressed. Puddles should not be left ever.
Seal up any holes. If they’re coming out of around your outlets, there is some foam sheets you can install behind the plate to seal up that gap.
Seal up your food in your home as best as possible. No bags with clips. You must put it all in airtight containers.
Keep your kitchen and dining area clean. Never leave any dirty dishes out. All leftovers should be dealt with ASAP. Clean your sink, counters, table, and floor.
Take special care to maintain your dishwasher. Clean your garbage disposal daily at the least.
You must only eat in your designated dining room. Do not eat anywhere else.
Clean all of your floors daily. Sweep and mop. Vacuum your couch.
Take out your trash daily at the least.
You will also need to treat for the pests. If you’re sharing walls with other households and they’re not doing the same as you and they are not getting treatments, you have my condolences.

For this to exist if we’re only considering the age gap between adults, is if one adult is so young they’re being taken advantage of.
A 20 year age gap where the younger is early 20’s is creepy, because the younger’s lack of experience makes them vulnerable. A 20 year age gap where the younger is in their 30’s or beyond isn’t, because the younger likely has the maturity to avoid being taken advantage of.
Are there any other factors that would make this creepy, like you have influence over this person’s career? If not, then no worries! Enjoy dating.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Without mentioning smartphones or social media, what societal changes have you noticed over the course of your lifetime?16·2 months agoCompletely agree. The state of the US passenger train system is absolutely pitiful, and useless for any of the trips I needed to take.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Reverse Graffiti Project16·2 months agoAnd as time goes on and more dirt appears, you can do a cool layered look.
I’m already doing the thing. I do not wish to exert the effort to do the other thing. Fuck the ramifications.
ramifications arrive
How could this have happened?

If your reputation is destroyed by people stating facts, you’re just getting your comeuppance.

Yep. My therapy was used against me in a court case. As a result, I just figured out how to deal with most things myself.
It has very negatively affected my health and isn’t optimal, but it’s a lot better than the alternative.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?5·3 months agoDo you have any metal allergies? If you think you do, you might consider looking for a blade without that particular metal. Most stainless steel contains nickel, which is a fairly common allergy.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I like the traffic light indicators on the floor when I look at my phoneEnglish4·3 months agoIn my city, some intersections you would wait maybe more than 5 minutes for the light to change if you’re not downtown. Then again, I wasn’t on my phone for this wait. Annoyingly, these pedestrian signals didn’t have any sound when they changed, where downtown did.
Downtown wasn’t so bad, though. You might still wait longer than a minute, but usually not.

The other person told me “Well, that’s just a cop out. Just make something up!”

They like to eat the yucky bugs. They freak me out, but luckily they don’t really want to be around me so it’s chill.
No, Luke. Meesa your father.
