Since plastic was already everywhere, we collected it, made it white and covered huge areas with it to reflect more sunlight. Great idea, didn't backfire at all.
My goal is to get current with the story! Slowly doing a chapter here and there, not making much progress. The biggest (game related) obstacle is me constantly creating new characters instead of just sticking to one... but I'll get to the End of Dragons eventually!
The new swiping behavior is grinding my gears as well. With so many options for it in the settings, I'm surprised they didn't just have the people in channel list as an option. I'm also not a big fan of the private message section, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much. Overall a nice update though.
I've never done this exactly, but I have always used hand gestures (even way before I saw my first touchscreen) to move and manipulate images, text, maps, math equations, etc. in my mind. It's very helpful, but I'm pretty sure people think me insane.
I don't have trouble listening to someone while doing something else, but speaking is a different problem. Then again, I'm quite bad in multitasking in general.
I had an interesting conversation related to this with a friend of mine a while back. Apparently she usually thinks mostly in words, while I think in more abstract sensations or images. (summer = dark green color + feeling of warm sunlight and warm wind) All she has to do to talk is say her thoughts outloud, while I have to first translate them into words and sentences before I can even open my mouth.
If you want something to tinker with on PC, you could try creating your own website from scratch. (neocities.org could be a good place to start) It can be a nice gateway to learning all kinds of things, from image editing to running a server, depending on what you want on the website and how you decide to run it. You could combine the website tinkering with short stories if you wish to write them. Or photography. Poetry. Anything, really. Whatever you put on the site is also very easy to share with others of course.
I know it kind of goes against trouble with learning and not trusting online activities, but I thought it was worth mentioning anyways. I've accidentally spent several summers on it without really even realizing. My interest keeps jumping from one thing to another as I get new ideas for things I want to do with the site.
I randomly came across this community maybe two weeks ago. I still have no idea what this community is about, but I know I love the content. Thanks for putting effort into moderating thingies, have a cookie! 🍪
I used to have this problem until I realized that pretty much none of the obligations are really obligatory. Now I have a new, different set of problems instead.
True honesty often comes across as rude. If someone asks me what I think of their new carpet and I think it looks like shit, I'll tell them just that. Saying "I don't like that carpet" would feel dishonest as it's only limited honesty. (being honest about the opinion or thought, but not about its intensity)
This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn't save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).
Viva La Dirt League. A youtube channel that this clip is from. They have a ton of hilarious videos (a lot of them about gaming) and I very much recommend checking them out if you haven't.
Why does anyone need any temperature? I find it most comfortable! I've also noticed sleep is a lot better when the air is a bit cooler. Anything above 18°C just makes me feel uncomfortably warm.
