Casual Conversation

I watched the kids movie Grow the other day and it made me contemplate how many parents have told me that raising kids gave them

It’s too similar to p and b. And just look at this: thorn, thee, too vs: þorn, þee, Þoo

I wish to learn about Google forms.

Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

Have you been rocking an old classic? Discovering something new? Revisiting some nostalgic bands from the past?

So idk if this the right place to post my rant, but oh well. But how long are bad phases supposed to last? I am 18M in a conservative south asian society and the last year has been pretty atrocious😅. It started with:

I’m up later than i planned to be, was playing quizzes online, and after climbing into bed amd getting out my tablet to waste more time in front of a screen i got a sudden wave of nostalgia, comfort and joy washing over me and thought “huh, i guess that’s why i alwaya used to push my bedtime to its limits!

Context: I’ve been learning Catalan for around 4 years now, and I am around B1 level (I can speak to people, but I know my grammar is still quite broken, and I lack vocabulary)

I had the pleasure to answer:

Yesterday I was on a voice call with some TRON players, and a new player had a problem with their game failing to download some of the multiplayer maps. So we were helping this new guy download his maps from the website manually, and someone in the voice chat said “Just use curl to download them, it’s easier than using the gui”.

@finnmyrstad@eupolicy.social @avilarenata@mastodon.social how can individuals contribute to creating social technologies ? Does it require huge investments and license from the authorities ??

@OSMIndia@en.osm.town l went on a long ride setting my Google map on, showing me the route. It guided me through a longer route, the road was in bad condition, and it took me a long time to reach my destination.

I wanna talk to other Overseas Chinese but they are all either on:

While straight up laughing is definitely fun, giggling requires so little and it is much more socially acceptable at many situations, simply because it is so spontaneous. Giggle away.

I was so worried like: oh shit something is gonna happen and I’m gonna miss the appointment, or forget a document, or something… too suspiciously calm and peaceful…

They say it’s harder to break up with friends than a romantic partner since the rules are a lot less cut-and-dry. This often results in people tolerating others’ company they otherwise wouldn’t be around because they can’t bring themselves to cut them loose.

@rimu @casualconversation @piefed_meta the default colour of piefed is 🔵. Can I make it a colour of my choice instead ??🤔🤔🤔

I have feelings to express but no creative skills. Nothing comes out as perfect as it is in one’s head. So is it even worth it to try?

I’ve realized that I’m one of those people who always demands too much of themselves. I’m constantly thinking that I’m not doing enough and that I need to be doing more.

Its like… I momentarily forget any grudges I might’ve had and just mentally regressed back to when I was a kid… and just… the feeling of being on a team… connected by blood and lineage… together exploring this strange world…

Ten minutes ago I was randomly reminded of My trauma and had a lot of angry feelings.

Today I went to Japan and by accident took the car key with me. The car keeps working until you turn it off. My wife also didn’t realize it until she was at home after bringing me to the bus station, and we had no idea where the other car key was.

I got an electronic drum kit! It makes drum sounds when I hit it! I can plug My headphones into it and it doesn’t annoy the neighbours!

Long ago, I created a test YouTube account to experiment with the recommendation algorithm. I’ve already put it through some wild scenarios, but now I’m trying something new: I’m subscribing to every channel that asks me to. No exceptions, even if the channel sucks.

This might be a weird question, but I always thought that when I walked with only my socks on it felt somehow off when I was at my work place in the office. It does not only feel weird in my head but also the way they touch the ground. Like I somehow forgot how to properly walk.

My husband and I went to an exhibition about the solar system at our local natural history museum. There was also an exhibition for children about the human body with really good explanations how genes work, how our ear works, stuff like that.

I use a saddle stitch.

I’m very curious about the reasoning different people use when deciding to downvote a post or comment. Often, when something gets “heavily” downvoted, the OP will ask some variation of “why the downvotes?”. This is sometimes answered with sincere criticism, but sometimes is received even more poorly than the original offending post.

I’m early 30’s and got out of a bad relationship last year, and I’ve been going on a bunch of dates the last few months to find a kind and good partner.

…eat as much [food item 1] as you want, without suffering any unwanted consequences

So we met on VampireFreaks back when it was a social media site back in 2012? 2013? We were both in high school and I was a massive webcam h*e at the time. He had competition however he was the only one that pursued me on other platforms like Facebook. We’ve been in and out of each other’s inboxes ever since. We only met IRL three times because distance but at least it was never 3000 miles. Unfortunately I think most of the time he was high and/or drunk but that’s on him for hitting on a fat! js I just wish things could have been different because on paper, we ‘re really compatible but I chose to stay with the crappy dudes I was with at the time. I kinda regret it but maybe it isn’t meant to be but that’s the thing, if he keeps shutting me out neither one of us will ever know! Regardless of how things turn.out, I’ll still have him in my thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately I give a s***!

@casualconversation when one needs to launch a search on the internet, the most common tool they have at hand is google. I do the same too.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for new friends from different countries to chat with. I’m 37 years old and I’m interested in history and learning about different cultures. Since I’m still practicing my English, I prefer text-based chat. If you’d like to have a respectful conversation, please feel free to send me a message!

@casualconversation when you have expectations, you're literally floating in a dream world. When they don't fruitify, you suddenly dash onto the rocks of reality.

@casualconversation if there's a dearth of jobs in the market, then that's the market's problem.

@casualconversation this is regarding using WhatsApp wisely. It doesn't matter whether you're for WhatsApp or against. But as a user myself, l need to know how to prevent whatsapp messages from eating up a significant amount of storage space in my limited phone memory.

@casualconversation l've always known that time is an artificial construct ever since I was told to sit down to study. As l grew up, l saw mechanical clocks getting replaced by battery clocks. Until l realised that the clock is actually being run from a centralised node, no matter where you're located.

Would a mystical background be important to you? Maybe a resurrection story? What would be important for you to have in a cult leader, personally

Lemmy, Mastodon, PieFed, Lobsters, HN, Tilders, trackers, IRC..?

I last worked a few years back probably as I was still looking for a job when I still lived in Spain in my 20s. I will work as a barista but I’m afraid I can’t work quickly or efficiently enough

As far as I know it’s only legally available on Netflix so I don’t have a link, but if you have access to it I highly recommend it. I’m rewatching it right now because I’m on a break from job hunting and, though I try to get outside at least once a day, I frequently fail at that goal because there’s not a lot of extrinsic reason to go outside. It’s not the same as the pandemic but it definitely has parallels and a lot of “Inside” feels relevant right now.

Kinda looking for advice or maybe an unethical tip or something.

What law of the universe determines that the moment you try to be quiet, you are then encumbered by an unseen force that attracts you to every hard surface in the room?

Btw idk why I have anxiety the entire time… (no, not anxiety about the plot… like just random anxiety) but besides that….

The doctors say I’m fine but I’m kinda chubby and I have big hips. Everyone says it makes me conventionally attractive and that men are gonna “go crazy” over me (I already have a bf and gf as I’m in an open relationship) but I hate it. They want me to be this long-haired, big-hipped beautiful woman but honestly, I kinda hate my big hips. Like, yeah, I look pretty but I can’t fit into any of my pants after a while!!!

…and got a pretty thoughtful response.

As in go to the castle to fight the final battle. After hours of running around questing and occasionally just exploring aimlessly, I feel like that capstone ends the fun. Anyone else do this?

I’m bored, so I’m charging my ~16-year-old iPad from when I was really young. You can ask me stuff about it or just talk about your old electronics :)

So now that I’m an adult by the US, my parents want me to start in the working world. I’m planning on working at a café and even making friends with the regulars and coworkers my age 😊
