Not faking reactions or emotions. That doesn’t necessarily mean showing every emotion you have in it’s full force. Just to not pretend to have different emotions than you actually have.

And yes, that means people can be genuine assholes.

Lesbian relationships on TV and in other media are often portrayed with a male gaze and/or fetishising. Do you think that that might play a role in making you feel uncomfortable?

It’s very hard to tell from the outside what’s the cause of the way you’re feeling. But I guess the best thing you can do is to try to improve and to keep investigating your emotions.

I feel you could choose another metaphor though, and it would make sense.

Like, when you go to a shop to buy something or buy something online, you have already chosen the destination. Then you decide how you pay, choosing the source.

To me both make sense equally.

“Two very dirty things taking turns sucking each other off”

People also wore clothes made out of natural fibres which stink a lot less than artificial fibres. Let a slightly smelly woollen shirt air outside overnight and it’s as good as new the next day.

Also, undergarments with full body coverage were not just for modesty, they wicked away the sweat from the body and kept the outer garments clean for longer.

Yes, I can disable it. But I’m actually using the feature. Which probably contributes to the problem, because muscle memory makes me double press too fast.

You can also use a backslash instead of two spaces. For example, if your phone keyboard converts double space-presses to a period and you are too impatient to do them more slowly (definitely not me).

Depression with loss of appetite is how I did it

Funnily enough, the word umbrella derives from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow. An Umbrella was originally for protection against the sun. I know it now usually is used for the thing protecting you from rain (at least in English), I just thought it was funny that people did walk around with what they called an umbrella when it’s bright and sunny for a few hundred years.

I regularly do yoga and it has helped me several times when I had back pain from sitting too much. 20 minutes of yoga targeting the back and I was fine again.

A few weeks ago there was already a related discussion because the pride flag was not flown in front of the Bundestag for CSD, unlike the previous years. The fractions of Linke and Grüne (the left and green parties of Germany) decided to show up in clothes coordinated to form a rainbow flag, which was pretty based.

Sexy iguanas.

Is there any other kind?

“Dabei war’n dort am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons.”

You can turn this around as well. Their mom asking them to stop having contact with their father is her choosing to take away their father from them. If that’s what she wants to do…

Children should not be pulled into the relationship problems of their parents. The parents are the ones who chose to have a child together, they are the ones who have to deal with the consequences of that.

I’m in no way qualified to judge whether this classifies as being an alcoholic. But I think you certainly have an unhealthy relationship to alcohol or at least beer. It’s not really “normal” (sorry, I don’t know how to phrase it better) to think so much about a beverage.

The same goes for food, actually. And at least there it doesn’t automatically equal excessive consumption, sometimes it’s the opposite, either anorexia or even focusing on a healthy diet. The point is that the healthy default state is to not obsess about it too much.

Out of curiosity, have you tried alcohol-free beer? There are really good ones out there and maybe trying some could help you determine whether it’s actually the alcohol or more the “beer equals good time” aspect that drives you.

If you want to start a new line, you can either type three spaces at the end of the line or a backslash. I think it should work on all clients, but I’m not sure.

I don’t even wish my mother a happy mother’s day, because whenever mother’s day is brought up she rants about how it was made big by florists and the Nazis (this is actually true for Germany). She is a great mother though and she knows I think so.

I’d also like to point out that with an app, you don’t just hire a programmer, they make an app and done. You have to maintain it. (Although many companies with “smart” products with apps skip this part, so I’m sure it’s fine /s)

Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.
