  • If you could travel to any world while you were sleeping, which would you choose?

  • Care to expand on why?

    Edit: I remembered what Planet Amazonia was like 3.5 seconds after making this comment, but now I feel weird deleting it.

  • I considered going to the Wizarding World too, but what if I end up a Muggle? Also, I'm 34 I can't exactly enroll in Hogwarts at this point.

  • Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays?

  • I live in rural America and can't say I have the same experience as you do. I (34F) dress like a "bum" 99% of the time (T-Shirts, jeans/leggings, hair thrown in a bun) and thats how most of my busy friends dress too when they are not at work. However I do think if you live in a city or just a more populated area that its realistic to think you may end up on camera at any point during the day, and you want to look good for that, so you could feel compelled to try and always look your best.

    Every once in a while, I do get full glam to go to the local grocery store because I really don't go anywhere else, and I want a reason to "dress up" and I can imagine that there's a lot of that going on too.

  • Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they're Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

    I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

  • I would take a risk and choose something crazy like The Walking Dead or Fallout. I'm trying to live out my Billy Badass dreams and if I die so be it.

  • Whats getting on your nerves at the moment?

  • This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.

  • LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a camper, a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit-in kitchen, laundry room, all that jazz.

  • You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can't even see my closest neighbor's house.

    Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use "ending up" in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.

  • Damn I am having the exact oppisite experice. I hate dealing with the public and everything that comes with working outside of the house, but all the work from home jobs have been scooped up and its been impossible to find a decent one since COVID. Its extremely annoying to me because I don't want to go back to retail and feel like I am not being given a choice.

  • Do you haggle? marketplace, comic com etc

    Jump

  • No and I hate that its expected and I hate when people do it to me. I price my items at what I want for them, I am not playing head games where I price them above what I actually want so you can feel like you're winning when you haggle me down, thats what everyone else in the resale space does and I find it stupid and manipulative. Just pay what it cost or find something cheaper, price what you want to get for it and stop pricing way above asking so you can have "wiggle room" to negotiate and make people feel like they are getting a good deal. Its like playing a game, when all I want is to exchange money for goods.

  • Omg I can relate. I rolled my ankle once and it was hurting for months and months, turns out I had a hairline break that never healed correctly; now my ankle is permanently slightly crooked.

  • What's the point in getting married?

    Jump

  • You pay less taxes, its easier to get a loan (if you both have good credit), you automatically have all the rights to know about their health in an emergency situation, whereas a girlfriend/boyfriend needs to go through extra steps, some of which are impossible in an emergency. Some people also view marriage as a very religious thing and so that part of it is a big deal to them.

  • It's always a bad idea to move in with your partner's parents if you don't absolutely have to. I think teens and early 20's is too young to move in with a partner period but I also met my husband when I was 17 and moved in with him almost right away and thats been working for the last 18 years. I still think we're the exception to the rule though and it's not exactly a healthy way to start your adult life.

  • Then yes, I believe you are coping. I really believe If you make it to your 30's and still think hitting children is a good way to teach them lessons, it's because there is something broken inside of you.

  • Lemmy post relevancy

    Jump

  • You have to add yourself to communities that have things you're interested in and then sort by "subscribed" to see the relevant post. Theres not nearly as many people on Lemmy as a lot of the other social media sights, but there's also somehow more "real" people too. Like reddit gets a lot of activity on post but a good percentage of that activity is from bots and children and you don't really have valuable discussions anymore. Lemmy reminds me of reddit before the cool kids found it.

  • I am curious how old you are now to hold that perspective. I used to believe I deserved to be abused as well. I was an awfully misbehaved kid and my mom was constantly fighting me, like fist-fighting me, because I would fight back. At no point in my life was there a time where I was just getting beat without throwing punches back its just how my brain worked. I used to think because I was like that, that I deserved it because good kids don't fight back, they take their beatings and suck it up.

    Then when I hit about 30-ish it dawned on me that I was a fucking child, a literal adolecent that didn't know the mistakes I made would end with me getting punched in the mouth. The only thing valuable I got out of those interactions was learning how to fight.

    However, the anger management and probation programs I was in between 12-16 did actually provide value to my life and taught me how to not be a psychopath like my mother. Though admittedly, it took a while for all those classes and workshops to really sink in. I now have the tools I need to understand my own emotions and when I need to walk away from a situation that is upsetting me, and I now understand that my actions have consequences and I don't get to take them back just because I feel bad after the fact. This took years for me to figure out, and it should have been something I knew from childhood. I was too concerned with feeling like I was a bad kid just for being born not knowing how to do everything perfectly the first time.

  • Best bet would be to find someone who is experienced with this kind of thing and discuss it rather than asking here. It's not a stupid question, I just think it will take a long time for you to find the answer you're looking for here and that you'll get a lot of opinions rather than actual help.
