slakje@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?English3·4 days agoBoth. I add my own personal style into outfits that are appropriate for the event I am going to and for the season. I do like the extra attention that comes from dressing a bit fancier, but not at the expense of my comfort and I own very few things that require special care or maintenance.
slakje@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You wake up as a random 10-year-old in 2002 with your memories intact. In your hand is a USB drive with a backup of Wikipedia as of Jan 1 2025. You must keep your identity secret. What do you do?English8·6 days agoI would just be happy to have a re-start at life and a chance to make better choices. Enjoy simpler times, get a head start on hobbies and passions, see my favorite bands that are no longer around :)
Eventually I would invest in things which would earn me a safety net and extra income (hard to do that as a 10 year old), but not in companies that go against my values. I don’t need to get rich but I would like enough to be able to benefit my loved ones and community. Not the most ambitious, but practical.
There are probably a couple of them who would be envious that they didn’t have the opportunity while they were alive. (Not a defense of AI girlfriends, just a joke and semi-relevant meme)
Was is Crimson Room or one of its follow-ups?
slakje@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?English10·18 days agoI did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.
Monosaccharide mommy is what I aspire to be.
That’s a more positive answer than “handlebars”, so let’s assume “yes”.
slakje@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Productive sites/apps to use when boredEnglish5·1 month agoLanguage learning is one thing that can be done when you only have your phone on you but want to be productive. Browsing Wikipedia can also lead you down some interesting rabbit holes where you end up learning something new. I’ll also use downtime to clean up my files and photos.
slakje@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you balance enjoying what you do with having friends?English14·1 month agoFirst, it’s not only you: making plans that accommodate everyone’s schedules and budgets can be tricky, especially if a lot of people are involved, so you might not be doing anything wrong. You can try letting them know what you want to do earlier in advance so that they know not to make plans for the day. People are more likely to respond to concrete dates, times, and locations instead of vague ones.
Also not all of your friends are going to share your hobbies and interests and that’s ok. Try inviting just the ones you know for sure enjoy the things you do, or joining clubs or activity groups for those things to potentially meet new people to do them with. The time with your other friends can be spent on things you know they want to participate in and can afford.
Appreciate the honesty about the AI disclaimer.
slakje@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?English5·1 month agoMetallic mini backpack.
Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.
For my next trick, I’ll be turning a liter of spirits into domestic violence.
Just about anything creative: music, art, writing. It doesn’t stop me from trying, but it’s clear the creative vision or raw talent that some others have is missing.
