I love this video about whale falls and regularly come back to it as a video to fall asleep to: https://youtu.be/QxSUsn8H2zs

Yeah, sometimes it’s more trouble than it’s worth. The girls keep transpiling my perfectly fine Javascript code to Rust >:(

They do also hook your brain up to the girl-matrix, allowing you to tap into the shared brainpower of all other thigh-high wearers for your programming. But that’s common knowledge, so I didn’t feel like I had to mention it

To be fair though, thigh highs are really nice to calm down restless leg, so sometimes they actually are pretty good for programming

smh, could have used the short form ()=>{ instead of function 😤

There are some Lemmy clients where you can block specific keywords, communities and instances.

What can you do to mitigate that fear? You obviously know there’s some irrationality to it, but that doesn’t mean that it would be invalid to try and dampen some of those concerns ^^

How about getting a little fire extinguisher for your kitchen? I’m confident with cooking, but I still always have one on hand just in case!

You can also try and experiment with what exactly your boundaries are. Are you comfortable making something like a soup/stew? Does it bother you to bake something? That might be more than enough for the start, and once you get comfortable with that you might even naturally want to level up to scarier stuff.

When it comes to fears, the only way to lose is not to try. Because every instance of avoiding something you’re afraid of reinforces that fear by making you think that you successfully avoided a scary situation. Even if absolutely nothing would have happened otherwise.

Good luck!

I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha

That’s so stupid, I would demand that ransom in baguettes, ham and butter instead

It will be easy once you find the right person to date.

Very few people are properly compatible with each other, and sure, good small talk skills and general “dating” abilities will keep you dating someone for longer - but why prolong the suffering if it didn’t already click naturally?

Wenn du nicht sowieso schon die Art von Person bist, die sehr viel Erfüllung und Selbstwert aus dem ambitionierten Arbeiten zieht, ist es das eigentlich nie wert. Anders als in nem unnötigen Burnout wird das sowieso nicht enden 🤷

Falls du ambitionierter wirken willst: Spezialisier dich auf eine Art von Aufgabe oder Problem die du eher magst und werde “der Typ dafür”. Leute erinnern sich eher an Personen die an spezifische Aufgaben geknüpft sind, man wirkt unersetzlicher und Leute lassen einen mit anderen Sachen eher in Ruhe lol

(Natürlich nur je nachdem wie viel Spielraum für solche Entscheidungen dir deine Branche gibt. Meine Perspektive ist limitiert, ich hab bisher nur als Programmierer gearbeitet. Bin “der Typ für Frontend Zeug” geworden und weil jetzt alle dafür zu mir laufen hat mein Manager Schiss bekommen dass ich abhaue und mir 10% Gehaltserhöhung und ne Leistungsprämie reingedrückt… als ambitioniert würde ich mich nicht bezeichnen, ich daddel mindestens 60% meiner Arbeitszeit am Handy rum)

Yeah, you gotta look at a few whitekitten posts from time to time, just to keep yourself grounded

Je nachdem was es ist kannst du versuchen zu einem Kassenärztlichen Notdienst zu gehen. Doof, aber wenn’s keine andere Option gibt 🤷

…can I take more than one?

During many Olympics, Usain Bolt sustained himself on nothing but 100 Chicken McNuggets a day, because they have a really optimal Carb to Protein ratio and are very consistent (whereas strange new food in foreign countries might be risky).

So, you’re just eating like one of the world’s best athletes.

I’d say consider playing around with the React-App template on glitch.com! I’m biased because I do React for my main job, but it is pretty easy to use and if you grab a library like MaterialUI you get some really pretty looking components without having to do any HTML/CSS yourself

the way yoga instructors speak, for some reason. I don’t hate Yoga itself, just that fake calm voice makes me pretty mad. I could relax much better if the instructor just shouted like a drill sergeant all the time

She was so ahead of her time, I wouldn’t be surprised to zoom in and see a vape pen in her hand
