  • Join a hobby group or club for activities you’re actually interested in. It could be anything: sports, board games, video games. That way you already have a common interest with the others, and you feel less pressure to make friends because you can still spend your time doing what you enjoy.

  • I’m going to try reading a book in my target language and look up/write down definitions of unfamiliar words. Although I miss the convenience language learning apps offered, I felt like the courses weren’t paced well and that I was stagnating. It would be helpful to have someone to practice with in person but right now it’s not an option.

    How’s it going for you?

  • I’ve always found it better to let online friendships form organically based on shared interests rather than seeking them out. With the second method, there’s a good chance you and the other person won’t have much in common besides wanting to make friends, and the conversation will taper off on its own.

    I hope your new chat leads to a strong, lasting friendship :)

    What have been your favorite interactions on Lemmy?

  • If you are not looking to pay for their content anyway, why not just view what they post on Reddit for free themselves? I’m sure if you search, you can easily find subreddits dedicated to average bodies and most niches you are interested in.

  • I wish for you to find love for yourself and acceptance with those that will appreciate you for who you are. 🫂 The impact of trauma can be hard to reverse but not impossible. But the good news is that even an old beat up RV can be repaired, restored, used towards building/buying a new one.

  • There aren’t really men’s clothes designed to look “sexy” to women and accentuate their features the way there are for women, but I’m partial to seeing some chest hair peeking out from under a tank top/undershirt :D

  • I also think dreams are snippets of our minds running in the background that sometimes get patched together in odd ways :D

    They can be influenced by recent events or things you think about often.

    Lucid dreaming is like a real-life superpower. I wish I was able to do it.

    What was your last dream about?

  • You could argue that users agree to exchange their data for convenience and free services when they accept the terms of service and create an account with a company that collects and sells user data. So it’s true that there is a degree of personal accountability there. 

    However, sometimes you’re required to have an account with one of these services for something like work or school. And sometimes you can even be tracked when you visit websites without creating an account based on your device ID, settings, IP address, browser specifications, maybe even facial recognition used on a photo of you someone else uploaded. Technically you can avoid this by not accepting those jobs or attending those schools, or not visiting any websites at all, but how practical is that in modern life?

    I think your average user isn’t well-informed about the extent of data collection and how easy it is to de-anonymize data by cross referencing it, and businesses both take advantage of that ignorance/apathy towards privacy and downplay the extent of how they use it. I support more transparency around data collection and sharing policies.
