I’m not quite the same demographic as you, but I get it.

For me, it’s simply not possible to have kids unless I adopted. And that ain’t happening (adoption is a long, arduous, and expensive process and I’m only one person…wouldn’t want to take that alone). I suppose technically my body might physically be able to produce kids…I haven’t tried, but that’s missing the point.

People sometimes ask me if I want kids and it’s just such a silly question for someone like me. It’s like asking if I had a mega mansion, how would I decorate the 7th bathroom? What I want is irrelevant because that’s not at all in the realm of possibility.

I don’t know if I would want kids or not. But since it’s not possible, it’s not worth dwelling over.

Weirdly I know quite a few people who converted to being religious as adults. As children, they weren’t raised with any particular religion.

I’m using Voyager. I can zoom in on the image

Stop scaring me. I don’t want to think about my death!!

I am a younger millennial. I use ellipses all the time tbh. But I never use them at the end of a sentence like that. I tend to use them in the middle of a sentence often to break it up if it seems to long and I don’t want the formality of a semicolon.

How do you pronounce Wafrn?

That last bit gives me a ton of anxiety just thinking about it. Do you map out where you can run before you go to a new place? How do you just like run on the sidewalk if it ends up congested with too many people? Do you only run in nearby parks?

Sorry if these are weird questions! I legitimately want to know!

Jerboa went though a period time relatively early on in it’s development when it was a buggy, nearly unusable mess. It started out cool, then it shit the bed, and now I guess it’s cool again lol.

Unfortunately I didn’t wait for it to get good again at the time and I ended up switching to wefwef, which has now been renamed Voyager. Voyager never really went though a buggy period on my end as an Android user.

Either that I only eat frozen meals and don’t cook. Or that I have never had any friends. Or that I’m a cis female but have a ton of excess hair in the wrong spots (esp on my chin and neck) I try to keep on top of. Or that I’ve never been in a relationship and I’m 30. So many things to choose from!

My life is not so bad, though! The internet exists both for human connection and for entertainment. And I have a good job so I make enough to buy random crap.

Same. I’m a socially anxious person, and it felt so much more private and comfortable for me to be masked.

I still mask when I’m sick or when traveling by plane tho.

Wait what? Are you saying that you still don’t leave your home even though it’s 2024?

I mean, props to you I guess. I just don’t see how it makes sense to do so indefinitely unless you are seriously immunocompromised like if you’re undergoing cancer treatments or have AIDS.

Don’t get me wrong, I utilize and love delivery services. But it’s because I’m lazy and don’t mind paying for the convenience lol.

To be clear, I’m also not an anti vaxxer, anti masker, or lockdown denier. I have advocated for all of these things at one point or another. But I’m also able to recognize the evolving nature of a global pandemic. Your risk of severe illness or death when leaving your house now is basically back to pre pandemic levels.

Same tbh and I’m in the US. I didn’t realize it was a common thing until I heard about someone doing it one day.

Sorry, but I only tip people that make a tipped wage like servers. I do not tip hotel staff. Many hotels have stopped servicing rooms every day unless you specifically request it anyway.

I feel like that’s impossible for me.

However, I set my ringtone forever ago and it never annoys me when it comes on. I like hearing it. It’s a chiptune from a keygen of soft software I pirated as a teen lmao.

As someone on the asexual spectrum, I feel you. I also have intense social anxiety and so those two things combined means it doesn’t make sense for me to attempt a relationship to begin with. Occasionally I get sad when listening to love songs. Because they are so ubiquitous and it makes me feel like I’m not even human sometimes because I lack these basic human feelings and experiences.

I have no idea why, but I used to hate Queen songs when I was younger. Nowadays I’ve flipped around to enjoying them. No clue why!

I’m also confused on the advice of using a “real” bathroom

Uhhhh, I saw them yesterday in southern hemisphere in Europe.

Wait what? Surely something here has a typo, right???

When I bought a newer phone a few years ago, I was really disappointed with how weak the vibrate was. It’s a flagship phone and I have the vibration intensity set to maximum, but I still often don’t realize that my phone is vibrating in my pocket… especially at work. Never had that happen in a phone before. Idk if newer phones just ship with weaker vibration motors nowadays or if it’s just this particular phone line.

That being said, I actually like my ringtone and notification sounds. I turn them on while at home but leave it on vibrate at work.

If you’re making $8/hr, your head is going to be incredibly deep underwater. 5% is not remotely possible at that wage. At 15% you may as well be living in fantasyland.

Thanks for the thorough post!

This is maybe TMI, but since you seem very knowledgeable, I’ll ask it anyway, sorry!

Generally I’m not a very active person. But lately I’ve been trying to work out more. I’ve noticed that on workout days, the scent is a lot stronger there even after showering and wiping with a cloth. If I wait a few days before working out again, the smell dissipates. So it’s not like there’s an infection or anything, just sweat. Any tips?
