I think this was done? Long time ago, maybe in an Russian orphanage or something? If my memory serves me well, those kids all died, despite even having food etc…

Edit: might be confusing that with lack of social interaction. But either way, here’s some reading for you

Yes. I loved the compact! Small size is still a major criteria when I look at phones, but they’re unfortunately just getting bigger and bigger… Plus, yeah they were sorta expensive, but super solid. Would buy again anytime.

I always wanted to be a biologist. I love nature, I find it beautiful and fascinating. I’m passionate about environmental protection, have been since I was a child. Studied, got my Master’s.

Finding work is so hard. What jobs you can get, are unstable, pay is ridiculously bad, and your values are constantly being ridiculed. The state of the environment is so depressing, and the future isn’t looking any brighter.

I don’t work in that field anymore (couldn’t afford to anymore…). The whole thing breaks my heart. I wish I didn’t care as much…

Yes and that too bad, I’m not sure if it was the novelty or just the naive rose-tinted glasses of youth but trailers seemed Awesome when I was a teenager.

Now? Eh.

I feel like I’ve seen too many trailers with shit exploding and the one and only funny scene of the movie, that they don’t really attract me anymore.

Don’t Look Up. As an environmental biologist, I feel they really nailed the constant feeling of crisis that everyone either chooses to ignore or use for greed. There came a point where I couldn’t stomach it anymore, I watch TV to escape reality not be reminded of it lol.

Would that mean anything if it were?

I always confuse that first ETA between Estimated time of arrival vs Estimated time to arrival.

Huh, this one doesn’t ring any bells for me. Is there some reference in particular I should recognize it from?

My unwillingness to knowingly hurt people. I think I would be happier doing my own thing, but would hurt or disappoint do many people by leaving them (my boyfriend, family, colleagues, friends…). So I’m just wasting my own life instead…

A lot of shows I liked are mentioned here already, so I’m going to add Brooklyn 99. Recently finished it and it’s a surprisingly rich show, really enjoyed it.

Whole different vibe, but Don’t Look Up. As an environmental scientist, that one really nailed the existential dread many of my colleagues and I feel every day…

For us it’s Gollum. Girls and boys alike. Everyone is Gollum.

Pakay! Also called ice cream bean. It’s a giant bean, inside there’s big seeds surrounded in white solid-fluffy stuff. You eat the white stuff. It’s sweet without being overpowering and the consistency is interesting. Delicious

Yeah I don’t think he is projecting in that sense, but I do believe he has really bad abandonment issues, that is making him “see” things that aren’t the case, maybe to have a reason to push me away before I hurt him, too… I’m not sure what to do, he’s so convinced that I’ve betrayed him already, and even if the offense is not real, the pain clearly is, and I’m not sure there is anything I can do to reassure him. It’s so painful to watch (beyond the hurtful accusations…)…

I appreciate you looking out for me, friend!

My bf is convinced I have/had feelings for some other guys. Keeps pressing the issue and “Why can’t you just admit it?”. I can’t admit something that isn’t true…

Yes. Europe. We pretty much all do. Automatics are becoming a bit more common in recent years, but 90% of cars here are still manual. Especially the old beat-up cars we learn to drive on are all manual. And if by chance you learned on an automatic, and pass your driver’s test on automatic, it says so on your driver’s licence and I think you’re not actually allowed to drive/rent manual cars.
