I ended up doing an international move so I'm just stuck with a snake plant now. I love your set up, though!
Ugh leftover Chinese is amazing.
I can definitely see myself being more active here. I also agree it feels like a lot more good intentions here. Obviously there are asshats everywhere, but hopefully that'll be kept in check.
I know the pain. Trying to get people onto ANY new social media is like trying to pull teeth
I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be in med school (even if the journey is rough, haha), my incredibly supportive husband, and the fact that I woke up today.
I wonder why it's so hot?? Is it just the location of the cave or is it because all the selenite essentially just creates a heat insulator? Very cool either way
Is that a maranta on the shelf on the left? It looks so big and healthy, I killed like 3 before I decided to give up on them 😂
I just joined yesterday. I've always been more of a lurker, but trying to at least comment on stuff now to help get conversations rolling/more interaction. I think knowing that most of the communities are new and trying to gain traction, rather than being years old and just ghost towns gives a bit of hope.
Breakfast for me was leftover pizza
Crazy to see how much has changed. I'll try to take some pictures like this around Prague to contribute
This is so heartwarming and wonderful. Hopefully with more reports/exposure, we'll start seeing more accessibility implemented in other theme parks/in general
I moved to the Czech Republic from the US 9 months ago.
The isolation is so hard, as well as learning where to go to buy things because things like Walmart don't really exist here, or aren't very accessible without a car. While that is frustrating in some ways, I've learned to appreciate the fact that shops aren't monopolized and there's so much variety in the many different shops around you. You're not just limited to Target/Walmart for shopping and 7eleven/whatever-cornerstore-monopolizes-your-area for convenience stores.
Not having access to next-day shipping for SOME things has literally not been more than a minor inconvenience at most. What are you needing to order so often that you NEED immediately?? This sounds like laziness/unwilling to figure out where to go locally to find the things you need.
The language is SO HARD. But I've found most people are willing to try to help so long as I'm trying to talk to them. Some people are just assholes, sure, but that's true anywhere. I think the perceived "unfriendliness" is mostly just a lack of being able to communicate, which is the author's fault. You moved to Germany, you need to learn German and stop expecting everyone else to know English or to WANT to communicate in English in their country.
I want to have sympathy for this person, but it sounds like they're wanting the culture to change for them, rather than them changing for the culture that THEY decided to migrate to. It's actually really upsetting because US expats already have a reputation for being entitled babies, and this doesn't help. Also to the point of government agencies not being helpful, it's not like any agency in the US is particularly known for being friendly.
I used to work at starbucks! Highly recommend iced chais, they were my favorite :)
Yes! I’m excited to see how lemmy grows. Reddit always got me fuming after a while
Watching history repeat itself has been a wild and horrifying ride.
