  It’s just your brain warning you about bad things that could happen. Only brains don’t give a pop up notification, it’s just streams of thoughts and sensations. That’s how I’ve chosen to interpret my intrusive thoughts, anyway.

  I’ve done an outdoor heated pool at around 50F/10C and nearly shook myself apart in the time it took to get the short distance between the pool and inside. I’m pretty sure going from hot tub to -20C would actually kill me, lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And the cold in particular.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the detailed response and recommendations for getting started! The technical aspects of calligraphy are what appeal to me about it as well, which is sort of a running theme with the artistic hobbies I have (ex: weaving). I’ve been trying to get back into physical journaling, so this is probably a good thing to add on top of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And the cold in particular.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I did a quick search for some in person classes, but unfortunately the only one near me is to teach Chinese calligraphy! Which would probably be more useful if I read Chinese, lol. I’ll stay on the look out for some, that does sound interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And the cold in particular.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess whatever part of my brain that can convert ‘writing’ to ‘art’ doesn’t work, because I spent a considerable amount of time as a child desperately trying to learn decorative handwriting! Going slowly makes it wobbly AF, and going quickly makes it sloppy, and I never could find the middle.

  I’ve been holding a pencil and legibly writing for over 30 years and I still have no fucking idea how people write this nicely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My tender eyes and ears⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get these weird ones that have AI generated sounding audio of women talking about their husband’s premature ejaculation and his one weird trick! No idea what it was (other than whatever gas station boner pill shit they’re selling), I skip before then.

  uBlock doesn’t come with financial and legal penalties, I’ll take Vietnam’s solution.

  It’s raining here so I don’t even have to try to ignore it or crank up the air purifiers to deal with the toxin smoke stank, thank god

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard it previously, the first time I couldn’t help but crack up because the term was so petulant and asinine. ‘They’re playing cheap games with low res graphics with their friends and having fun, someone make them stop!!’ is the vibe I get every time I hear it, and it’s still a hilarious term to me.

  Might be due to OP being on fedia.io? I can’t access the original post (it wants a login), but the link shows up fine for me on Piefed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What activity or pastime of yours is barrels of fun?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s fun is going to be individual, isn’t it? I absolutely love going to museums. Science, art, history, whatever. I live somewhere with a lot of museums, so I look into discount programs and plan day trips around seeing exhibits that sound interesting. Obviously that won’t work for you if you don’t care about museums or don’t have many nearby.

  There’s nature everywhere, even in cities, and I enjoy using apps like Seek or Merlin Bird ID to help understand what I’m looking at. It’s fun to keep my eye out for new plant species, and helps me learn what’s around me locally.

  Why does the color saturation on this look like it was taken from a Disney McDonald’s plate that’s been through the dishwasher too many times?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italians at Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It never stops weirding me out how learning Spanish has also made Italian borderline intelligible to me. I get why, it’s just strange to experience accidentally partially learning an extra language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fingers crossed for you finding a solution that lets you get all the onion you want! Intestinal issues are so miserable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s the oligosaccharides or fructans that are fucking you up, you can heat (not fry) onions in however much oil you’re okay with in your final dish, and then just remove the onions. The flavor compounds are oil soluble, but the oligosaccharides/fructans aren’t. Smaller pieces = more intense onion flavor.

  I fuckin love rooibos, I don’t know what it is about it because I generally don’t care that much for tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OH GOD NO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they still call them ‘girl/boy’ toys? They did when I was a kid (which led to a lot of grief when I didn’t want the ‘girl’ toy), but I feel like around the mid ‘10s I heard they were starting to call them by whatever brand they were (ex: Barbie or Transformers toy). But I haven’t bought a kids meal in at least 15 years so I couldn’t tell you how much they still do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it hurts, chat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the American ones taste better, but the store bought ones I had years ago were disappointing. Maybe you need to dress them up, these were plain.
