    For the first time I recommend going for 5-7 days. You need to learn how to function alone without stressing too much because you’ll be home soon anyway.

    Hostels are an excellent idea. Usually people who congregate there are quite social and willing to interact with strangers. Ot at least that’s how it used to be before Covid. I’m old.

    Be ready to do things on your own without friends or without even strangers you met on the trip.

    A healthy level of suspicion is needed to avoid scams. If someone wants your money, regardless of the excuse, leave immediately.


  • No but I try to keep back in public online interactions. No extremely personal stuff. Sharing opinions, memes, discussions but not much of myself.

    Sure a dedicated person could profile me and come to some conclusions but I hope it’s all vague enough. This version of me on Lemmy is only a part of my personality that feels safe for sharing.

    And I think this is the way to go. Although people do tell me I have a problem opening up even with real life friends so 🤷


  • Not likely this time.

    Previously both sides would fire missiles for a few rounds, pretend to have won something and go back to strongly worded statements. This time the US insists on the regime change in Iran. So the Iranian leadership feels like they’re fighting for their lives. Because they are.

    I’m just catching up on the news but it seems to me Iran knows they can’t really meaningfully hit Israel. So they’re going to try dragging Gulf countries into the war. They’re close, easy to hit and full of rich people who are influential with the US. And have no serious military capacity (except maybe Saudis).

    Whether it works we’ll find out in a few days I think.
