  • Are you about tired of people complaining about the 'world ending'?

    Jump

  • I find the climate change deniers way more tiring.

  • Next week is the musical episode. Are you looking forward to it?

    Jump

  • I’m so looking forward to this! You can tell from the trailer that the cast had so much fun!

  • Lemmy users who feel the heaviness of depression, what issue in your life weighs you down the most?

    Jump

  • My health. It's made me lose so many connections, and lately it's made me feel like I'm invisible. Not even those closest to me really know how to deal with me and me having to cancel things because my body says no.

  • I want to light up a small room to make it seem like a sunny day. But 5k bulbs just seem harsh.

    Jump

  • I used a couple of full spectrum bulbs in my old west facing office and the lighting was perfect for my art. Have since then moved to another spot, need to set the bulbs up there too before winter. 😀

  • What was the dumbest way you ever injured yourself?

    Jump

  • I once managed to trip over a 5 cm metal ledge that I only noticed when I kicked into it while walking into a parking garage.

    I fell over, fell on a knee that was just healed after another less stupid fall and scraped both hands badly too when I tried to break my fall.

    So stupid!

    Oh and it was after a concert and there were a lot of people present just watching me get up, crying in pain.

    So it was my most embarrassing one too.

  • Most uncomplicated Printer that just works™?

    Jump

  • My Brother HL 230 laser printer is so reliable. Had it for years and it never failed me.

  • Seeing all this bad and negative things going on the internet let's change the pace, what is something that's good and you're excited for?

    Jump

  • Thank you so much!

  • What would you do in this situation

    Jump

  • There definitely is a difference. A gut feeling aka intuition comes without emotion. It just is like a knowing something for sure but not knowing why.

    I trust my gut feelings implicitly. My emotions? Not so much. Emotions are always fleeting. There one minute, gone the next. Anxiety replays old fears time and time again.

    When I think about or see rollercoasters for instance, I immediately am afraid. When I ask myself why, I remember instantly what I felt when I had an asthma attack in the middle of a rollercoaster ride. That fear replays as something new but isn’t.

    I’ve read a lot about emotions and emotional wellbeing, I guess that’s why I’ve learned to tell the difference

  • what email provider is best

    Jump

  • Most welcome. Hope you check it out!

  • what email provider is best

    Jump

  • The latter for sure. I get email from two other accounts in my onmail. I’m not sure if they have imap themselves as I’ve never wanted to 😀

  • Seeing all this bad and negative things going on the internet let's change the pace, what is something that's good and you're excited for?

    Jump

  • My excitement is maybe small, but I’m excited about the 5-ish hours of sleep I’ve just had, which is such a gift after weeks of pain waking me up all the time

  • What would you do in this situation

    Jump

  • When I look back on my life, I always regret things I did out of fear or anxiety or any other emotions.

    Trusting my gut, however, always led to the best for me in the long run.

    In your case, did you follow your gut when heading home?

    Also, your gut feelings are maybe muddled by emotions about the breakup, which is logical.

    So give yourself some time to weigh your options and let your family and friends help you as well?

  • what email provider is best

    Jump

  • Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.

    I use it to get mail from two other accounts.

    I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.

  • DS9’s The Visitor is an absolute masterpiece

    Jump

  • I agree. Avery Brooks is stellar in the series and one of my favourites of all trek. I really hate that there never was a movie showing if Sisko ever got back from the prophets and what happened to Jake and Cassidy and their unborn child.

    It was told beautifully in the season 8 books, but I would have loved to have seen it!

    As for episodes Avery is stellar in, I would count Past Tense as well. It’s such an underrated duology and Avery is truly magnificent in it.

  • DS9’s The Visitor is an absolute masterpiece

    Jump

  • I agree. Such an emotional episode and Sisko’s heartbreak in that last scene. Man, I tear up just thinking of it. Such magnificent acting too. The love on Sisko’s face gets me every time.

  • Breakfast suggestions?

    Jump

  • Try it with oatmilk. It’s so delicious!

    I especially love the barista oat milk with cereal. It’s a little more expensive, but delicious.

    Almond milk is so wonderful as well.

  • With so many usernames still available, why did you choose yours?

    Jump

  • Used a url generator thingie, and then used the name it came up with as my username everywhere

  • What's the worst gift you've received?

    Jump

  • The first thing that came to mind: an olive fork. It was an expensive brand too.

    I don’t eat olives and the giver knew that. The fork is still unused in my junk drawer.

  • Do you struggle to keep your house tidy?

    Jump

  • Don’t have a tip from my own life, but I know someone who has them 😊

    I can highly recommend minimalmom on YouTube. She makes videos about family minimalism, and I think her info may be very useful.

    She is currently running a course on minimalism that explains the concepts of it.
