Wah sounds like she’s got unresolved anxiety and (subsequently) no self-soothing skills

Still, hope you’ve managed to get a decent holiday out of it

It’s true, you definitely need some kind of partner, I’m mostly stuck at N4 level but it’s still annoying that spoken/vernacular Japanese is different enough that my comprehension is worse than French, and I only learned that much later, and written Japanese is generally a challenge because I didn’t grow up with Chinese literacy skills lololol. All these years and I still have the real world level of a toddler imo haih

I would’ve recommended my instance which is metapixl.com but I’m also shopping around as I’m not sure if I want to stay there, but it’s decent enough (having issues with the alt-text character limit but otherwise it’s fine). The flagship is pixelfed.social which is huge now but they do get first round of stable releases, but regardless there’s a list here https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/list - filter by signups to yes. Most of them are general instances so other than the non-english one I don’t think there’s a problem to pick. ETA: oh wait! Check their abouts, some of them allow nsfw content (which shouldn’t be a problem until u check local feed)

ETA: I would recommend metapixl.com regardless because they offer the cushiest amount (max 20 pix; caption length is max 2k characters; most others will put about 5 pix with max caption of 500 chars)

Oh don’t worry, it’ll be overtaken soon because I’m a technical noob pun hahaha

Additional info on Pixelfed - upcoming features is tiered access to your posts; so a bit like fb flist, so if she ever finds u again, you can have real public posts and posts she’ll never see

Jinx lmao

If you’re going to do another alt insta, might as well try another fediverse analogue and get a Pixelfed. At least it’s not Facebook who’s going to add your new alt and its new alternate email to their profile of you, that will just kantoikan you eventually.

ETA: if you don’t want to move, stop posting on main and just use stories and only post to your close friends filter. Or soft block ur mum so she unfollows you

tentatively crossing fingers Gaiman has gotten better at breaking a long form story as well, so we’ll see

Aha! Lol i was reading up on it – there’s some legal leeway imo but otoh one of my fedi mutuals (a futual??) mmg long time low-key sideeye the whole rebranding for management history issues (and tbh they’re the only reason I even am this up to speed with the various interplays of the various players)!

It’ll be interesting to see what happens next. The biggest booster is a Canadian but he’s not actually a dev for this. The actual dev is barely 20 yo tak silap (si kainoa tu). Most of the crew aren’t corporate or corporate-trained, so lagilah kalau terkena anything I also dk (eta: like related to when FB approached some of them to berdiskusi pre-Threads launch; most of these guys… tak pernah kena tipu, is all I’ll say about it). Hopefully the power and privilege of being European is gonna help somehow.

We should totes recommend ikandipecat tho 😆

(that said, despite my issues with the series, for a lot of reasons, it’s probably the best adaptation of a Pratchett story because on the other hand his characters don’t seem to survive transition to visual media, e.g. the Discworld shows)

cendawanita , 1 year ago to cafe in Anyone a fan of Good Omens?

The first season is based entirely on the book that’s cowritten with Terry Pratchett. How you feel about the second season that’ll be entirely from him and despite early assurances there won’t be more, depends on how you think he is as a writer. I think he’s matured, but certainly the book was a favourite that counted him as a writer because he had Pratchett to humanize and bring down the stakes to what I consider to be his storytelling tics to be clever and a bit grand.

Pu erh is pretty common these days… But what is it that you want replacing? Energy? sugary is your alt so maybe teh tarik (if mamak drinks got). Anything with ginseng if it’s not too heaty for you. Mouthfeel? Then just switch to decaf (if kopitiam got). Just lower caffeine? cold green tea or cham.

If you want taste to your plain water, ask for air limau but kosong (no sugar). If you can get the shops that would layan you adding a bit of salt you’ve basically halfway to an isotonic solution lol
