I’ve always found it better to let online friendships form organically based on shared interests rather than seeking them out. With the second method, there’s a good chance you and the other person won’t have much in common besides wanting to make friends, and the conversation will taper off on its own.

I hope your new chat leads to a strong, lasting friendship :)

The average Lemmy user seems rather tech savvy. I assumed it would be something to bond over.

That’s a cool hobby :) what motivated you to start a homelab?

Vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice all make good cleaning agents.

It’s also good for stain removal and cleaning eyeglasses :D

Maybe not completely obsolete, but landline phones and fax machines.

I rarely see anyone using mp3 players anymore :(

I wish for you to find love for yourself and acceptance with those that will appreciate you for who you are. 🫂 The impact of trauma can be hard to reverse but not impossible. But the good news is that even an old beat up RV can be repaired, restored, used towards building/buying a new one.

Mazel tov! An invitation to the Jew Moon is a rare privilege :D

Just one of those pesky Freudian slips. Thinking of one thing but dreaming your mother :P

I’m sorry you have to deal with with bullies and I hope your shift change creates a healthier work atmosphere for you 🫂

I also think dreams are snippets of our minds running in the background that sometimes get patched together in odd ways :D

They can be influenced by recent events or things you think about often.

Lucid dreaming is like a real-life superpower. I wish I was able to do it.

I hope that you can find peace and closure 🫂

You can put them in the freezer for use in months when they don’t grow.

Jelly, jam, compote, syrups for juices, and liqueur are all long-lasting things you can make with them.

With the amount of bots and fake profiles on the web, I think there will be a greater push for user verification, maybe a centralized form of virtual ID.

More efforts to make and perfect self-driving vehicles.

Gene editing as a more widespread solution to illnesses and defects.

Jason Alexander is cemented in my memory as George Costanza.

Life is Beautiful

Manchester by the Sea

The Green Mile

My recommendations are more sad than uplifting, but still beautiful and emotional.

A light sleeper just means that your sleep is easily disturbed by small changes in your surroundings (like the turn of a doorknob, a car passing by outside, a text message to a phone on vibrate). There isn’t a strict criteria for it.

Teleguard, not Telegram

I use Signal, and I’ve read that Session and Teleguard are also good alternatives.

Either people who see positive results equate “more” with “better”, or plastic surgery doesn’t fix the underlying insecurities and self-scrutiny that caused them to get it in the first place.

Exercise programs, language courses, and music streaming services are a few things you can try out before committing to them. The free trial should be enough to determine whether the methods are helpful enough for you want to continue for the first two, and the latter is a convenient way of discovering new music without ads that doesn’t drain your battery quickly.
