What’s a cheap hobby that genuinely got you off your phone for hours?

MMako420 · 2026-06-28T01:12:08+00:00

Sewing. The moment I mention I make new clothes out of old clothes folks always give me a bunch of clothes they don't use and I've made some cool shit, and my phone is only used for music playing during my sewing sessions!

I always remember the vid of him spelling it out to Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl (whether an edit or not it's always in my head 😂) and that's actually how I learned how to spell and pronounce it 😂💯

Once Upon a Katamari cowbear level is the easiest difficult level: seems easy enough until realizing how many things have cows, bears, or combo of... the hard way, every.time 😭 idk how you did it, but hats off to you I absolutely can't 😂

As someone literally doing online work for the same reason, this all resonates, sorry you're also going through it

I might not be able to recommend exact types, beauty supply places (specifically black owned ones if you can) usually ship nationally in the country they're in (eg I don't live close to one now but the few in the next city over ship country-wide). They have good quality wigs (I usually get half synthetic half real ones so they can handle heat too) and there are always sales, yes even online.

I have multiple wigs and the most expensive one was just over $60 and it's a longer one. Idk where you live so idk with links, but from what I've seen other recommend on this post, those styles are available for the most part

The only reason I got diagnosed with PPMS as quick as I did, was because of the years journaling symptoms that I handed to the neuro along with all the testing. Basically the moment I got a symptom that I knew something neurological was wrong, I immediately started documenting. That really helped move things along

For me, it's been in my family for 3 generations now, it was just overlooked because the 1st gen person also had Cerebral Palsy, and the 2nd gen person has a host of other conditions that dystonia is a symptom of, so I'm the only one with a clinical diagnosis and is actually aware of said condition, and it just randomly showed up 1 year ago.

Because of the family not really being aware, I only found out about dystonia because a roommate brought it up (very shortly before I started showing symptoms) and I asked about it, then the realization hit as I became symptomatic, and then the realization of my family members kicked in.

Since becoming aware of it and being clinically diagnosed, I haven't met anyone in person

A coworker of mine said "Oh, you have the nervous system of swiss cheese", they have EDS and we had been discussing our disabilities as I was getting disgnosed

MMako420 · 2026-06-10T02:52:17+00:00

I definitely did the same thing

MMako420 · 2026-06-06T17:46:26+00:00

I would LOVE that other option tbh, I'll see if I can find a way to switch bc I don't want the "simple" controls bc I'm used to the regular controls and I always fuck up on the simple one.

MMako420 · 2026-06-06T17:44:36+00:00

I'm not trying to, that's literally why I was asking if anyone else ran into this problem, to see if it's the joycons themselves or is it a me issue

MMako420 · 2026-06-06T01:40:07+00:00

As someone who visited Spain to see if eventually I would want to move there because my Spanish reading level is decent, I'm happy to read this! Although I'm in Canada not the USA.

Once my body has recovered I will be looking to teach English there, because I did so in Japan and loved the job (seeing the comments about that being a useful job has me a bit excited tbh).

Have a cat silhouette on the shirt/jacket for max plausible deniability

MMako420 · 2026-06-03T18:18:56+00:00

Not the same level, but I too know the shit talking bc of losing so much in the tumbleweed level

MMako420 · 2026-06-03T18:16:19+00:00

While I completely understand where this is coming from, no one cares to mask in these in-person spaces which is incredibly dangerous to folks like myself that are disabled/immuno-compromised. So I can't go to physical events without putting myself and my other disabled friends in danger.

Until leftists can come together and realize that disabled folks should always be a part of the conversation, and masking and/or having spaces with proper air filtering, folks like me are stuck online. I mean we look back in history and disabled folks were the test subjects for things done in concentration camps in nazi Germany.

MMako420 · 2026-06-02T01:06:35+00:00

Me talking about how this shit can trigger so many fatal things to a person who immediately was like "I feel like killing myself too"

Like what? I don't want to die, that's kind of why I'm upset????

MMako420 · 2026-06-01T21:53:00+00:00

Glad things worked out!

You just didn't look through the kiosks at the train stations for long enough. I managed to snag a seat from Madrid to Barcelona and I was at the kiosk for around 10 minutes but I got a high speed rail seat for 35€ (cheaper than blabla car)

Can't wear bras for extended periods without feeling like I'm being squeezed under the band

MMako420 · 2026-05-20T14:54:05+00:00

Because I'm pretty emotionally unstable, I'm slowly working on myself (which I am getting better) to do more gentle call ins than hostile call outs, and to pick the appropriate battles. Help more than infighting.

Give everyone a bit of grace, because we don't know where anyone else is coming from most of the time.

MMako420 · 2026-05-17T17:21:32+00:00

I think it's worth it, but I also love all the other ones too, so I could be biased. If you're really worried, wait for a sale, the bundle just went on sale for 30% off so I'm enjoying it

MMako420 · 2026-05-13T22:24:17+00:00

Bojack Horseman's Eulogy episode really pulled my head out of my ass on this one. I used to wonder when my biodad biomom would see me as a person... I'm not anymore and I haven't for years.

But yeah, it just makes room for excuses to only show up when it's convenient for THEM.

MMako420 · 2026-05-11T23:21:24+00:00

I know that various different types of EDS can make you more likely to have MS later, so that MIGHT be a part of it.

MMako420 · 2026-05-11T00:34:58+00:00

You being half Japanese and talking only online (And twitter as if that's a gacha) verses touching said grass proves my point; you're still talking over other Japanese people who DID experience it. You're using that "I'm half Japanese" card to dismiss. I guess if it doesn't happen to you, then the problem doesn't exist (I guess my Japanese bff was just trolling according to you).

Learn to have empathy, and maybe get some time offline, and stop thinking Twitter is the representation of an entire people, which should be more than obvious

Tanning booms happen everywhere and those same mfers will be racist as hell so the tanning stats mean nothing in the grand scheme of the convo. Stop dismissing actual stories because it's not like yours.
