Also do a small test patch somewhere on your skin and wait for at least a day. Shitty way to find you’re getting a reaction if you already spread it to larger areas

I’ve never been drinking or smoking, or using drugs. No coffee either. It’s because I’m an autistic mess and also because my intestines like to kill themselves. I feel like I lack some sort of important human experience in this since I can’t even tell a cool story how I realized it’s just not for me or something. I simply never got into any of it lmao

It’s still been cheaper than the alternatives if you buy for multiple people, and has most of my native country’s artists at this point. I’d like to switch, but I’m worried the other services don’t offer enough finnish music, and just couple euros more is a lot of money when you are poor.
Of course you could say “don’t pay for these if you’re poor”, but it’s the only subscription I’m paying for, and I feel like abandoning every single thing that can still bring me joy is kinda asking for my depression peak so I’m back to trying to hang myself again.

Though the moment I hear adds or the price increases again, I’ll obviously switch immediately

It depends a lot where you are, really. I’m from Finland and if someone is begging in the street corner, they’re always non-natives, usually from Romania, and they’ve been brought here by criminal gangs to collect as much money as possible. Even with the worsening flaws in our system (thanks to right wing extremists), begging is still something you don’t do to get by, so this is easy to spot. Giving them money just makes the criminals use more people

It depends entirely on the context, really. Slurs in a joke with random people around? Yeah naah, that’s generally a terrible idea. It’s not only about you needing to know the audience, the audience also needs to know you. People aren’t mind readers, so your actions define you, not the intent behind them.

Lately of a poem-writing spree, with words toying, feeling very free, I’ve been enjoying greatly.

You can just put rubber bands as laces, then you don’t have to tie them, and you don’t really have to force your feet in either. I mean they do make laces like that specifically too, but buying some elastic band and just using that works well enough

Does anyone have recommendations for something that has the possibility for custom emojis? So far I’ve only found Stoat enabling them, but I’m still searching if there’s anything better out there… I know slack allows them, but it’s way too expensive for casual hobby things and I’d rather have something open source.

It doesn’t have custom emoji support, which is one of the reasons Discord even got such a large userbase (a lot of people are paying for nitro only to get the general custom emoji support). Maybe some forks (or whatever the proper term is) do have that, but those seem to be hard to find and even harder to convince anyone to use

Jesus would probably be a cool guy

I’m an atheist but I fucking love Jesus. As an idea he represents so much good in humanity; selfless love, mercy, helping those in need, humility, even self-sacrifice for greater good. If you take him away from all the crap christianity has accumulated, there’s so much you can learn from his example. He’s even imperfect, just like all humans are

Yep. There’s multiple layers to it as well, as you can make up compound words, and then you can do the “bending”, adding specific endings to make the word mean whatever. You don’t even really think about it, you just do it kinda naturally when needed.

For a random example today I used “ylöspäinkapuava”, “(someone/something) climbing upwards”. Ylös = up, päin = towards, ylöspäin = upwards, kavuta = to climb, kapuaa = someone/something climbs, kapuava = someone/something is climbing (adjective) -> ylöspäinkapuava. You could use “ylöskapuava” (up climbing) to make it simpler, but that leaves out some nuance and sounds more like just getting up after you fell down.

Yes, since in my native language creating new words is a build-in feature (I’m finnish). You don’t know what’s that called? Forgot the word? A new thing that doesn’t even have a word for it? Just slap two or more together and it’s fine

If you like creative writing in general and want to interact with others through it, you could always look into play-by-post rpgs? There’s a whole subcultures around them online and the english speaking player base is probably the largest (and I’m talking about the free side of it, not those using dnd mechanics and such)
