I believed that one day I would find myself in a situation where I would have to save myself or a friend from being buried in quicksand.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Same brand of cheese, very blue vs. barely blue
12·2 months agoI didn’t like blue cheese and my mother tried to fase me into it a few times with mild blue cheeses. Didn’t work. One day a guy gave me a cube of Stilton - Colston Basset, if I recall right - and my mind was blown. The taste was strong but so good that itvsomehow clicked. Blue cheese is something difficult. I find average blue cheese awful.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are advent wreaths a thing outside of Germany?
4·2 months agoBelgian here. I have one at the door every year. I make it with my children around the first of December. The table top wreath is still a thing in my mothers’ place. She’s 70.
We have an advent calendar which is a box with small doors. Every day the kids open one door and get the treat or trinket behind the door. They are 16 and 18 but insist on tge tradition to be kept.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?
8·2 months agoYes! Preach! Same with new words. Every generation gets angry with the next generation using new words but you don’t get to decide how I use words. I will adhere to certain rules so we can keep understanding each other but all the members of the commission will have to be willing to rewrite the rules if the language has changed.

Same for the Belgian implementation.
Why? I already have and use one for years. Most people in the privacy community have no issue with it.

2·3 months agoWe have a free online storage that was founded by the notaries in my country. I think nearly all important legal documents have a copy that is kept by the government.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Something that happened to you but no one believes you?
271·4 months agoI once got assaulted by three guys. I got pushed on the ground by surprise and instinct kicked in and I fought back. Kicked one guy in the ground so hard he had to get surgery and got one testicle removed, broke the other guy’s nose and the last one had a fractured skull.
They pushed assault charges on me and I got cleared because because they found CCTV footage of me going full Chuck Norris on these guys. The footage showed them teaming on me for no reason and I discovered one of them pulled out a knife.
I have a brown belt in classic jiu jitsu but it was the few months of Krav Maga that saved me.

1·4 months agoWe did a family introduction in a local aquarium and it was amazing. I had a something strange happen to me afterwards. I stopped breathing from time to time. Weird, because rule number one is “keep breathing”.
It started at work where I got the feeling I was suffocating only to realise I was holding my breath unconsciously. I had a constant feeling of being out of breath and only felt good I if I was conscious about breathing. Took me a bit of therapy to get it sorted out. Therapist figured that the dive triggered something in me.
