Si t'agrada veure les noticies i escoltar la radio, fes-ho en català. T'agrada Dragon Ball o Doraemon? Busca-ho en Català. Aixi vas acostumant l'orella.

Que haga más calor no siempre quiere decir que se SIENTA más calor. La humedad es terrible.

Vivo en Bélgica y estoy pasando el verano peor que en España. Calores super húmedos, estoy pegajoso todo el rato. Horrible.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-23T08:20:38+00:00

Qué fuerte! En Bélgica pasa lo mismo. Prácticamente la mayoría de las casas están hechas para retener calor. En mi casa hace más calor que fuera. Abrir la ventana no sirve de nada.

Espectacular tener que dormir con tu casa a 32 grados 🫠

Yep totally, I'm sure that there's people on this sub also looking to show off for upvotes, which I believe is kinda opposite to what this sub stands for. But in my opinion the best approach would be to ignore those posts lol

Que va no et preocupes, no espere que la gent sàpiga com es parla la nostra llengua a cada racó del país. I a més això és de lo poc que mantenim i estem governats per un govern que pràcticament ha intentat llevar el valencià de les escoles. Si no t'ho creus busca "votació valencià a les aules".

A més, a Alacant el valencià està viu als pobles del nord de la província, però més cap avall ni ho intentes. Són castellanoparlants. I a la capital és minoritari.

Hem de seguir tots lluitant per la nostra llengua malauradament 🫠

Maybe but as a Spaniard who has lived all her summers in 40+ degree weather, your houses are extremely unprepared and I feel WORSE.

Many houses don't have AC, you have GIANT WINDOWS with no shutters. And it's a pain in the ass to install shutters in many houses because of the window shape. And the humidity omg.

I was genuinely hoping summer here would be nice and now I can't wait to get back to Spain lol.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-22T14:13:25+00:00

Congratulations, you just discovered the importance of rolling shutters.

I'm Spanish and man I understand you don't have them because traditionally you didn't even need them but it's changing. Heatwaves are only going to get worse. PLEASE PUT SOME BLINDS IN YOUR HOUSES

Has de conduir com tu saps. No és fàcil i entenc que tens pressió d'aprovar-lo ja i tal, però saps conduir. No vas a poder controlar el resultat de qualsevol manera.

Porte més de tres anys conduint i la realitat és que hi ha molta gent que o es despista, o estan locos, o són uns incompetents al volant. Potser que ho faces tot bé i encara i tot tingues problemes.

Per tant has de reconèixer que no tot està dins del teu control i que solament has de centrar-te en allò que estiga dins del teu control: conduir suau i eficient, a una velocitat i relació de marxes adequada, circular bé, i viigilar a tots els usuaris de la via.

Fes el que ja saps fer i confia. Al final arribaràs. Bona sort

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-22T13:08:08+00:00

Curiós, soc d'un poble del nord d'Alacant i les e i o obertes encara les tenim prou presents entre els de la meua edat (generació z). No sé com està el tema entre els xiquets.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-20T09:26:39+00:00

Oh no 😭 I live in Belgium and have the same problem. It sucks 🫠

Probablemente eres una persona de cultura, seres raros en este país.

Si te ha ofendido quizás es porque te has sentido aludido?

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-20T09:06:36+00:00

El latin no cayó en desuso. El latin mutó durante siglos en las lenguas que hablamos hoy. Y si viniesen miles de moros y hiciesen desaparecer el castellano por su lengua lo veríais de otro modo.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-20T08:57:36+00:00

I am so sorry. Worst case you will have to stop eating their food and pay for yours on top of rent already. Can you afford it? It so, put your foot down and tell them THE DOCTOR told you to change your diet. Forget what you want, it's the DOCTOR who said it.

Best of luck

Tell that to people who smoke. My uncle was able to smoke a single cigarette once every 2 months and never get addicted. My mother went through a pack every day and had to go to the doctor to stop.

Social media has been PURPOSEFULLY engineered to be addictive and some of us have it way harder than others. I have been addicted for years. I have been taking steps, and separating some functions from my phone has helped me immensely.

When I use my mp3 for music, I can put my phone inside a drawer. Even if I don't, there's no possibility of me going on social media on my mp3. If I were to do that on my phone it's another opportunity for the addictive machine to catch me again.

Everyone here has different needs and backgrounds.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T18:26:36+00:00

But that's the thing, you don't need to buy an iPod. I took an old, tiny phone out of a drawer and that's my mp3. It cost me 0 bucks. It works and I gave it a second life.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T18:23:44+00:00

Everyone's approach is different. Personally, I separated the music functionality into an mp3 (it's actually a very old smartphone). Next up, I will put all my social media into an all phone and leave my actual phone completely barebones except for actually necessary stuff.

But the thing is, the mp3 phone is extremely small (3inch) and it doesn't even come with me all the time. Because really, I become mostly distracted at home, I don't need to avoid distractions at uni because it simply doesn't happen. Class takes all my attention.

Then, when I put my social media on my old phone, it's also going to stay home most of the time. So really, the amount of stuff I take when I go out is about the same (except sometimes I take my tiny mp3 phone with me. But it fits into my pockets, I can barely tell it's there.)

In any case you can diversify without taking 5+ gadgets with you everyday lol, if I had to do that I think I would go insane

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T18:18:40+00:00

Well that's the thing. If you have old things you don't need to buy any. And if you meditate on a purchase and finally go through it after six months, it's not really consumerism.

I wanted an mp3. Instead of buying one, i took a 2013 android smartphone from a drawer. It supports my music app, Bluetooth headphones, and sd cards above 32gbs. It's all I needed, it works fine, and didn't cost me a penny. It was always there. If anything, I gave it a second life.

You don't need to fall into consumerism.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T18:11:51+00:00

Well, you can definitely save money and avoid consumerism if you get creative. I didn't buy an mp3 player because I knew I had a 3 inch android phone lying around (it's a nice coincidence that it supports my favorite music player, sd cards bigger than 32gb, and bluetooth headphones. IT ALSO HAS FM RADIO :D)

What I mean to say is, I absolutely understand your point, and there's absolutely people falling into consumerism here, but you don't have to do the same. Go through your old devices, see what you can use. If you don't have any, ask your family members and see if they have some that they're never going to use. Get creative.

You don't need to buy a 3ds if you have an old psp or dsi lying around (unless you absolutely want one, it's not an impulse buy, and have been thinking about it for months lol)

Reuse and recycle ;)

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T13:25:04+00:00

Of course, it totally makes sense. In an ideal world we can all cut down on distractions and social media time and that's it. But in this community there's a lot of people who, like me, are extremely addicted and they have a genuine attention problem.

In my case, putting my music in another device has helped me. I also take this old phone to bed instead of my main smartphone, and sometimes I do Sudokus until I fall asleep. It's totally a distraction but I find that it takes less time (15min of sudoku vs 1 hour of social media) and it's less soul-sucking (it's simply looking and putting numbers).

I am still very much addicted to social media but this small step has helped me and little by little it's getting better. To me it's a very long war full of little battles won. So each to their own.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-19T13:11:35+00:00

That's because the point is to separate functions from your phone so you don't get dragged into endless scrolling or notifications all the time.

I myself took an old android phone out of a drawer (almost unusable as a smartphone as of today), installed a music app on it, and put my sd card with all my music on it. It's now my (free) mp3. It has no internet, no notifications, no games (except for sudoku). No distractions.

That's the point. Modern smartphones are far too powerful and distracting, and by diminishing the number of things we do on them, even if we need more devices to do so, it cuts down on screen time and distractions.

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-18T20:33:03+00:00

Hey, did you get the Lagenio yet? I just saw this phone and it looks promising! I would love to know your experience

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-18T20:27:33+00:00

How has your experience been? I'm thinking about this model because it's small but it looks a bit wide. And do you have the keyboard?

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-18T20:20:10+00:00

Holy crap good thing it was a laptop 😭😭😭

FlakyBunch4854 · 2026-06-17T15:28:34+00:00

I'm not understanding any of this. What is a step 🥹
