- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 3 days ago:
I live in a major city un Germany. One of the big ice cream parlors has several trucks that go to parks and areas with many offices. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one driving through a residential neighbourhood.
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 1 week ago:
Yes, but only if I take off my glasses.
- Comment on I require nothing more 3 weeks ago:
And tomorrow they’ll post a picture of a 10,000$ gaming setup with LEDs and shit and claim that women can’t possibly understand spending a ton of money on furniture and decorations.
Not to mention that this joke has been done to death. For years pictures of empty rooms with a matress have been posted to claim that “this is what men want”. (Until next week, when we’ll post a picture of a gaming room full of expensive furniture and elaborate decorations and claim that THIS is what men want, actually, for real, I swear.)
- Comment on How do you wash a weighted blanket, is it just the outside you wash after removing it? 3 weeks ago:
Those are the instructions for mine.
- Comment on What is your age range for dating? 🤔 😮 5 weeks ago:
I’ve always dated around ± 3-4 years. I usually didn’t get along with men who were a lot older or younger. My husband is one year and four month younger.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 month ago:
Maybe check if there are maker spaces/repair cafes near you. They are always happy for help.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 1 month ago:
Typical pork cycle. By the time everybody was pushed towards IT/Coding and all the hundred ways to get into IT popped up, there were already too many people wanting an IT job. You were basically called stupid if you didn’t “just learn to code” to get a well paid, stable job. It’s your own fault for chosing a manual labor job instead of applying yourself and learning some coding skills! So everybody was pushed towards IT and made to feel stupid if they didn’t try to learn coding.
- Comment on Scientific conferences are leaving the United States amid border fears 1 month ago:
I’d argue that the drop in conference and other professional visitors could be even steeper. There are still enough people who’ll privately take the risk or aren’t informed or think “I’ll be Ok if I comply with the laws”. Companies or universities however have HR departments and people in charge of travelling and compliance. They would risk a lot more money and possibly secrets if the devices are searched and employees are detained. I think they’ll be even more careful and restrict trips to the US. I could imagine a lot of conferences offering online participation and many opting for that rather than risking it.
- Comment on It turns out that it's not that my memory is bad, quite the contrary. It's just that I can't distinguish between memories and daydreams. 1 month ago:
That’s why I started writing a diary. On the same day I can still remember very well how things happened, but weeks or moth later I might not. So I write a diary every evening with everything that happened.

Try out things. What you like to do isn’t always just something you always dreamed about. Finding a job you’re good at will make you like it. That doesn’t have to e something connected to a school subject. I was always very organized and I found out that I like working in project management. Had you told me in school about this job I’d probably have said it sounds boring. But I tried it by chance and it’s actually very satisfying because I get to plan and organize.
You’ll never know if you don’t try. Get an entry level job, even if you don’t like it you might find out that you like certain aspects of it and get a better idea of what you like in a job.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 2 months ago:
Not even censoring, also outright stealing for karma farming. I’ve had perfectly normal photos being criticized as not within the rules for bullshit reasons. An alcoholic drink aggressively marketed in two “variations” for men in women in pointlessly gendered was taken down with the bullshit excuse, that men and women have different metabolisms so it wasn’t pointless. A week later there was a post about this drink with a lot of upvotes and my exact photo from our local supermarket. It was posted by one of the very active accounts. Mods are taking down promising content in some subs just to post them themselves.

Soon we can translate all the GDR jokes and use them for the US.
- Comment on Americans under 30 are so miserable that the U.S. just fell to a historically low ranking in the world happiness report 3 months ago:
There was a student in my elementary school class in the early 90s, whose single mother worked as a cleaning lady at the school and supported both of them with that money. They had a small apartment, a car and while she was considered poor, she always had enough clothes, school supplies etc.
