That's great news! Sometimes I think things are better without a 'conversation' if you know what I mean. They can see you're happy as you are and you don't necessarily have to put pressure on yourself to explain anything.
Mixed bag so far. It's been hot over here and I've barely slept so feel like hell. Auditioned for a new choir this evening and got in which was nice, it's a great choir but just annoying that it's the opposite side of the city.
Seriously considering getting an ebike now that they've ended one of the escooter trials here. Hard to know where to start though, not had a bike since I was a teenager.
Singing can be surprisingly expensive. My fees for 1 year with two choirs is almost £350, plus extra for hiring/buying sheet music, transport to and from rehearsals and tours. Plus the dinner I have in town before rehearsal (it's only itsu but it mounts up). Oh and a concert dress (hopefully I only need the one this year), that was £80.
A lovely thought. Might not be effective in big city centres though, when I was living in London people were always trying to hand you things. You get resistant very quickly.
Not a reason not to do it, just try not to take it personally if you get rebuffed.
Also I love the wildflower card idea someone else mentioned
This is probably unhelpful as it doesn't exist anymore, but I used to love Jinni, that was essentially that. Would give good recommendations, found some great French films I never would have seen otherwise
I respect your policy above but you may run into declining response rate in the long term without some kind of feedback, as there will be a 'what is the point' feeling. I may be wrong of course (and hope I am!), just something I've seen at work. I completely get your reasoning though.
In all honesty nothing in particular, moreso that I want to explore what's possible. I used IFTTT for things like switching WiFi on when my phone was in a specific location, saving emails with receipts/order confirmations to somewhere central like Google Drive (though trying to find a non-google alternative). I also liked the Pocket integration.
So it's not exactly sophisticated but cucumber water. I love it, every time I go somewhere that has cucumber water I always think I'm somewhere posh (even though it costs pennies).
I can't say I got that impression from them to be honest. Feels like you have assumed a lot from a couple of comments (though I totally get being jaded after a while of seeing the same kind of thing).
I think this could be a really interesting thing to explore both sides of the argument as I do think you have a point. Just seems like you're both interpreting it differently in terms of tone (which I guess fits in a way, given your stances)
Can't say I've noticed it on Beehaw but I have on some other instances. Just posted in one actually - was an interesting discussion on the nature of violence in media. One person immediately lashed out at the person and I'm struggling to see why as they were being civil and were just exploring ideas.
I think it's a wider thing than Lemmy or even the internet. It feels like some kind of way of getting control over something for people who lack any control in other aspects of their lives. They can have it if they're 'right' even if they have to attack people for it.
