I take meds and I will never fold. Best I can do is actually doing the laundry.

Things I learned from this:

• Measuring a river is nowhere as trivial as I had assumed it would be.
• Some people have surprisingly strong feelings about which river is longest.

That was a ride, thanks for sharing :D

I am continuously surprised that some people sleep under a single blanket. This is not a custom where I'm from. I wouldn't be able to relax!

This actually sounds like a good way to deal with it.

My package deliveries usually say something crazy like 'between 9 and 16' and... There goes the day.

It's the fact that it's not even relaxing. It's just there, in mild dread.

It's always jarring when people expect something like reddit and find something else that looks almost like it, but it's actually different. It helps to get reminders that it's not reddit and it doesn't have to be. And that this is actually a good thing.

For me, it helps that I'm old and used to spend time in forums with small communities, but for younger people this may never have been a thing. It's a little exciting to think about someone being exposed to it for the first time, if they stay long enough to see the benefits.

I like the part about how this is not meant to be a resilient information exchange. protocol. I also do see the ability to defederate as a very useful tool rather than an jnstrument of censorship.

I have blackout curtains but somehow my brain isn't fooled and I've been sleeping very little as a result.

For me, unless it fits in the mailbox, you have to be ready to receive a package. I thought about it for days only to forget about it this morning when it arrived. Luckily I was at home.

I don't know where op is from, but at least in Sweden you just get a "national ID". Same shape as a driver's license, works all over the EU, none of the pesky driving and the passport stays safely at home until it's time to travel out of the EU.

I'm 36 in Sweden. I never got one, I've never needed it. Public transport and an electric bike have worked perfectly. I don't like the idea of driving. Owning a car is expensive and stressful. I also have ADHD.

I never 'got' twitter. I've created about 3 accounts over the years only to leave them behind. It's just not for me. I'm also a long-winded person, definitely not an "x characters" person.

I made a mastodon a couple of years ago, I figured it would go the same way. But it didn't. I found a couple of sweet people that made multilingual puns and liked animals. They had fun friends. The little community grew from there. Now I'm a regular user. When I post, I'm mostly sharing things to "my friends", not screaming into the wind. Most of this little network is on separate instances each too.
