- Comment on How would I describe myself? 1 week ago:
It depends on how you feel. For instance, I have a few friends that are born in Norway, but their parents are Vietnamese. Those friends would always described themselves as Vietnamese while in Norway; they are a part of that community, their ancestry is important to them etc. While traveling abroad however, they would say they are Norwegian. The context is different, and citizenship is more relevant. Some of them have lived several places, but their roots and citizenship were the most important pieces of nationalidentity to them.
Myself I’m an immigrant. I don’t tell people I don’t really know what county I came from; it’s private and not relevant. If people ask me (not abroad), they usually mean my accent is off, which is rude.

It’s so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it’s voluminous and mostly not frizzy.

What a great read! You seem very reflective and aware of yourself. I don’t really have any advice, but it seems you’re on the right track just by knowing yourself and taking steps to wrap your head around it all. Good luck!
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 5 weeks ago:
How so? Seems reasonable to me to have the same citizenship as my immediate family. And if you want to change it you can apply for it and get it no problem.

Are they not popular where you live? I see them pretty often.

How do you do that?

Introverts can be antisocial, but “introvert” can’t mean “antisocial”.

Does it need a whole instance?
- Comment on Why do some people think others are troll just because they don’t like what they have to say? 2 months ago:
If the"trolls"are just people with different opinions, it’s to discredit them.
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 2 months ago:
No idea what you are talking about. I’m not even vegan, but I can make a delicious vegan meal without even trying. All my vegan friends make very tasty food, too. No need for billions.
- Comment on Not enough cake 2 months ago:
Oh, I see. Not familiar with this concept at all, where I come from we mostly make different icing for each cake type. The icing sugar + water base (without cocoa) works on most cakes, including CC, but it’s not the best of course.
- Comment on Not enough cake 2 months ago:
What is regular icing?
- Comment on Looking for the spelling / translation on a certain Polish word 2 months ago:
Yeah, he the word is “jedzie”, aka “there goes”. A native speaker wouldn’t use this word about a boat though, it would be “płynie”, which literally means “there swims”; we just use a different word for watercrafts.
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 months ago:
My employer pays for my phone, phone bill and internet bill. It’s standard at least in IT where I live.
- Comment on LinkedIn job search sucks. Also, 30 minutes a MONTH?! 2 months ago:
It does not fit in any of the categories, as per OP’s post

It’s “L.P.D.: libertarian police department” written by Tom O’Donnell for the New Yorker in 2014.

Damn, good one!
- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 3 months ago:
I imagine the downvoters perceived the question not as stupid, but trolling or provoking.
- Comment on Time to make your decesion 3 months ago:
Oh, maybe that’s what they meant here. I have multiple friends who make their own deodorants with natural ingredients, and those work well. Seems I missed the joke then.
- Comment on Time to make your decesion 3 months ago:
Does deodorant need to be unnatural to be effective?
- Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed! 5 months ago:
China loosing USA as a buyer would mean raising prices for other countries to make up for the loss.
- Comment on Am I allergic to my dog, and if so, what solutions do I have? 5 months ago:
Not the act of asking, but not being aware of your basic needs and state of your body (e.g. being hungry or having an allergy), and/or having issues with tracking these might be symptoms.
- Comment on Am I allergic to my dog, and if so, what solutions do I have? 5 months ago:
This might seem like a silly question to most, but I’m kind of oblivious to some things that are obvious to most people (e.g. having allergies, knowing when I’m hungry, when I should go to the doctor, etc.)
If I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me or on Lemmy and got their ADHD diagnosis some time later… I would probably have like 50 👌
- Comment on Should i be giving a shit about my posture? 6 months ago:
Adding to what others said: there is a saying “your next position is your best position”. You should switch posture frequently during the day. Sitting in front of a PC whole day does not make it easy unfortunately. You should just try to switch consciously, walk around a bit, stuff like that.
- Comment on Anyone else noticing more and more duplicate posts? 8 months ago:
Yes, it’s been happening a lot lately. The duplicates are almost back to back. I’m on jerboa too. It’s annoying.
