  • What is a hobby you'd love to get into but cant for what ever reason

    Jump

  • I bouth a cheap guitar for 10€ at a fleamarket. Doesn't look good but it works. I you just want to try around and maybe learn a bit with the help of YouTube that's an option.

  • The worst part is, this ends up hurting people with real allergies. I myself have an anaphylaxis to nuts so I also carry an epipen. Which is why I asked the coworker for hers, because I am trained to use it. I can't tell you how often I've met people who don't take it seriously and tell me I'll be fine with just a little bit of nut or organic nuts. "I have a cousin who's allergic to XYZ but since eating only organic she's fine and she can eat it now." This type of people will say they have allergies and then eat the item later and it leads dumb people to believe allergies are fake.

  • When the first Covid vaccine came out a coworker told me she wouldn't get it. Supposedly the vaccine had "killed 90% of the population in Bulgaria already". I told her I thought we'd have heard about it if that was the case, but she was convinced that the media was covering it up.

    She later claimed she was deathly allergic to the vaccine, so I ask which part of it. From what I know you can react to a vaccine if you are allergic to eggs or chicken. That's a pretty common food item and it would be good to know if your coworker has such an allergy. I also asked where she keeps her epipen so I could help her in an emergency. She claimed she always left her epipen at home and that she was allergic against a lot of medication. She never mentioned any allergies again afterwards and they seemed to have mysteriously disappeared after the pandemic was over.

  • I've defintely stopped reading the comic universes because it gets too much. You can't just grab a new issue and read it anymore. Doesn't matter whether marvel or DC. Every comic is connect to 20 other comics and you need to read Deadpool, Dr Strange and 10 others in order to have the back story of one Spiderman issue. When I read comics it's the independent artists that can finish a story within one or two volumes. Same goes for SciFi and Fantasy novels. Too many SciFi novels out there that are this epic 20 volume complex world building saga. Just give me a story that is finished in one book.

    Also knitting. Good yarn has become so expensive.

  • What's your favorite gift you've ever received?

    Jump

  • Before my first birthday after we met I had told my now husband that I wanted to switch to reusable pads. I showed him a brand I had in mind, but they cost 20€ per pad. That birthday I got a 200€ gift card for the pads so I could buy myself a starter pack. I don't know what I loved more, the fact that he was so thoughtful or how he proved that he wasn't one of those guys who get weird when the topic of periods comes up.

  • What's your favorite childhood cartoon that everyone else seems to have forgotten about?

    Jump

  • Me too!

  • What hairstyle(s) do you HATE?

    Jump

  • Hate is maybe a bit strong, but I've genuinely never seen a Broccoli haircut that I thought looked good.

    I hate having long hair, so I keep it short.

  • Good question

    Jump

  • Also subcultures that are more about making your own styles. Not that there wasn't any consumerism, but there were definitely more people who drew on their backpacks, made paperclips into a necklace or glued flowers to hair clips. Silly stuff like that. It's become much rarer to see a teenager that looks like they're expressing their personality with their style.

  • Google Maps Reviews are now Semi-useful

    Jump

  • I stopped using Google reviews because it's absolutely pointless with the deleted reviews. So far I've had almost all of my bad reviews removed, even though I always write an honest description of why the food or service was bad. There are some really bad restaurants in my city that regularly go down to 1,x before they remove all bad reviews and it jumps to 4,x again for a while.

    The problem is that public ratings will just never be useful. Either you have owners that delete all the bad reviews, or you don't let them delete and good businesses can be review bombed for petty reasons.

  • What's something you were told you'd regret in the future, but you still don't regret at all?

    Jump

  • On my 5th birthday my parents threw a party for me with friends from kindergarten. My father had a pretty good camera for the time and loved taking photos. This was during analog times, way before digital cameras, so you wouldn't just take a bunch of photos because it got expensive. He wanted to take a group photo and I, always being a little annoyed back then with the constant photos, stuck out my tongue. He tried to make me smile but I refused. So he told me he'd take the photo of me sticking out my tongue and I'd regret it when I'm an adult that I don't have a nice photo of me on my 5th birthday. I'm 40 and I don't regret it. Love that photo.

  • Those who have ever taken medications for depression or anxiety, how long before it started working from your experience?

    Jump

  • I started Escitalopram 4 weeks ago. Not motivated for anything yet and my brain still feels like it's filled with cotton, but I can at least sleep again and don't panic about every small thing anymore.

  • Thanks, I didn't know they had a name other than "colorblindness test" :D

  • I guess it's pretty easy for him. It seems like he has a very mild form and can't tell certain shades apart. I think it was something like yellow and grass green or red and orange. So he hasn't had any noticable problems.

  • There are several different types of color blindness, so it depends. In case of reds greens blindness I think they see both as grey.

  • My understanding is that bipolar people are swinging between depression and a manic state. Also these state last usually several days. My mother has a bunch of other symptoms of NPD, not just that one.
