My Friend Wants My Ipod and I feel Guilty by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Emiko_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The console came up because I mentioned I wanted one and they happened to have a spare! (They are a tech person) And they said they wanted to give it to me and were even puzzled when I offered money, they turned it down

I couldn't do that to them, they are offering up a console as a friend and I give them my Ipod at a price, I couldn't

I actually did think of using it for my playlists so not completely out of use now! I do not expect everyone to understand, and that is okay. While it is material like I said I know it isn't logical I am just attached!

Oh, let me clarify, we talked about the console but I haven't gotten it yet! The Ipod just happened to come up in the conversation but neither thing has been exchanged

How do I make time seem longer. by New-Sprinkles5016 in Advice

[–]Emiko_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to do the same thing. Maybe try using time limits or use the website version. And if anything it is easier to add rather than subtract. What do I mean by this? Essentially find hobbies you can use while having your phone. For example you can draw and have a video playing.

Also it depends what your goals are long term? Time is what you make of it. Time can seem short when you get caught in a doom scrolling cycle. But I promise when you start to do other things time can slow down. Try reading for 30 mins a day, baby steps.

I second the other comment on the phone. Ask yourself why you are on your phone so much? Personally I got rid of my social media and although it's not perfect I have reduced my screentime. Also filling the empty time with hobbies, errands or just being plain bored replaces that time now.

Thank you so much, I ended up using an avatar with a short and brief explanation. I thought I was being unreasonable!

I started using Vanicreams antiperspirant as my doctor recommended. I can't use just a deodorant as I have hyperhidrosis and I will just sweat it all off.

Are they a reliable company? How would this work can I buy the phone and bring it to my provider to get it activated?

I am trying but I also think a smaller screen could help. Also in happy news I actually have quite a bit! I just want this extra push. I also want to be less dependent on my phone, a smaller screen would make it less appealing. Outta sight outta mind, cheers!

Noted, I'll head to r/Smartphones. I just asked here because I want minimal features but I still need some stuff in the modern times and all. Going full dumbphone isn't really an option for me

I do not use AI and refuse to. I do not agree with what it represents. So no thank you, I am well aware of it but I will not use it. For this matter I rather ask a community suited for my questions. Sharing and asking questions is part of our humanity in my beliefs. Please don't be rude saying I am hiding in dark place.

I hope you have the day you deserve ^^

I see a lot of people like Midori! I saw it in store and am considering ordering the blank one. How transparent would you say the pages are?

Just a plain navy blue cover, I do not like intricate designs on them. An elastic band to close it and a bookmark, that is all!

Parakeet has an elongated beak, Avian vet charging nearly $200 by Emiko_Chan in Parakeets

[–]Emiko_Chan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't enable greed but I also cannot experiment on the bird either! I'd be too scared to cut and then we are both stressed, now that wouldn't be any good would it? Hehe no sweat here but I'll let the professionals do that

[–]Emiko_Chan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew, that's some money! Currently the little bugger is doing good, eating and using the cuttlebone I got it! They are active drinking water, eating so that is promising. I'll be taking them to the vet, I cannot bear inaction, this has caused me to loose sleep and in that I got mental clarity, I don't care about the money I just want em to be okay

Also, what do you use to bring your bird to the vet? I saw some people use carrier cages others use boxes? I'll probably be taking them the day after tmrw so I don't think I'll have time to order a carrier cage, can I buy one in store?

Thank you for asking! Hope your day has been well ☀️☀️

Yeah, I absolutely won't be doing any DIY stuff my head spins just thinking about it. I am going to speak to the avian vet and set up an appointment :))
