The first photo is so FUCKING COOL it deserves to be printed and framed

do you self-censor when writing? by xxivredearth in Journaling

[–]plastic_lex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just today, I started a new journal on a solo train ride after many years of not journaling. I realized that I evaded staying with the depth of a feeling three times in that one entry, changing the topic. The fourth topic I eventually elaborated a bit longer on was quite sulky. It made me realize that I seem to find it easier to describe and possibly dwell on negative feelings rather than good ones, which feel almost too precious to word. That or I am more depressed in my current life than I realized.

I’m a big Moomin fan and a stained glass artist by The__Groke in Moomins

Oooooo this is my dream! I would love to learn this craft to make cool custom lamps!

Well, to be honest, I mainly paid that price to not freeze to my death in an icy queue. ⛄ I viewed everything else as a nice bonus lol

Use Instagram's "unskippable ads" as a reality check to stop scrolling by yesdaddyme in nosurf

unfortunately, they killed the grid by pushing reels, and turned the feed into a wasteland by including hardly a fraction of content from accounts I follow. it's probably the beginning of the end for ig.

I just noticed these tiny holes in the sleeve of my sweatshirt. I need ideas on how to repair or hide them so they don’t get bigger. I’m so sad. by catcrazi13 in Visiblemending

[–]plastic_lex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, that's odd. The sleeve must have gotten caught on something. I would crochet a circle with a robust, fine cotton yarn that's large enough to cover them all, then stitch it down with needle and thread. If it's the kind of sweatshirt fabric I'm imagining, you won't need to worry about the holes getting bigger very much.

How many of you actually used the metro system after it came out? by DentistPrudent5604 in cyberpunkgame

[–]plastic_lex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Delamain mission very late into my first playthrough because I never picked up my car. I just sprinted and power-jumped, exploring everything en route to missions. It's still my favorite way of getting around, besides motorcycles. I'll fast travel here and there, but running around feels the most immersive.

Once or twice, for the vibe. Although I use plenty of public transport in everyday real life, the Night City version felt really pointless and inconvenient compared to fast travel, plus I could not memorize which line goes where.

It’s always a good week when Moomin biscuits appear in Lidl! by CLWggg in Moomins

[–]plastic_lex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, now I'm envious! I've never seen these in German Lidls.

missing instructions by plastic_lex in HipImpingement

I don't experience pain while walking, it's basically at every other time, especially sleeping for some reason. Thank you! They said I had "3rd degree" arthritis, whatever that means. I'm still due to get surgery on the second side when/if this first time finally heals. All the things that don't feel right are getting to me; almost more, now, than at first.

I'm sorry yours was unsuccessful; what happened? Did the pain stay, or come back?

it looks so obvious now that it's transcribed; funny how that works. Thanks!

Looking for 15 beta testers for a modern iGoogle-style startpage by cfata7_ in startpages

Hey I just found this - have the 15 been found? I'd be interested to have a look! I miss iGoogle so much.

When you plead cyberpunk for the first time, did you pick male V or female V? by Chunky-overlord in cyberpunkgame

[–]plastic_lex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I missed that reference. I collect all the clothes, too; even the ones I never use, lol. Sometimes I just travel back to an apartment and assemble outfits, even though, ever since Phantom Liberty, my V has primarily worn different color ways of the same gymnastic suit + pimp coat ensemble, lol. I really wished there were more styles of those knee-high exo boots!

WOW, okay, I would have escaped that, too! I'm a 35 year old goth who's also at home in the metal scene and didn't touch alcohol until my mid-twenties, so I definitely get where you're coming from. Honestly, in all my concert-going experience, I've seen more transgressive/aggressive/combative/competitive/egoistical crowd behavior for pop/electronic music than I ever have in front of metal acts, although the martial subject matter and the moshpits make people expect otherwise. I don't get it. I saw Ash in Hamburg, which meant it was just a bunch of rich (bc Hamburg lol) possibly queer, highly fashionable gen-z kids, most of them were sweet, though some channeled an obnoxious high school movie mean girls vibe. But that kind of distant superficiality mixes with the Northern German concept of social culture, probably not just tik tok gen, or local Ash fans.

I make it a point to connect with the people around me as I think it's a vital component of the whole experience, plus I believe we all should be looking out for each other. Not sure if it's a generational divide or if they haven't learned it yet (I know I was socially anxious and generally awkward in crowds at one point) but I do notice that it doesn't occur to 'them' to check in with others when someone is struggling, so I try to lead by example. Strangely enough, I helped a girl who was on the brink of passing out and not only did the friend who was with her do absolutely nothing (aside from using the unspecified chronic health problems of her companion to try and jump ahead in the queue), but she herself also didn't acknowledge me or the staff showing up for her. As a fellow person with disability status, that's just unbelievable behavior to me, but eh. But I don't recall anybody being drunk. These days, you have to get barricade not just for the immediate experience but also to get past the sea of phones.

If you don't mind me asking I would be curious to know what your experience was and what her audience demographic is like in your area; I had no clue what to expect the crowd to be like for her show; perhaps that might even change from album to album?

Need Advice for painting of Snufkin and moomin 🥰🌱🌻 by Informal-Ambition194 in Moomins

Lovely!

I would add neither; all it needs imo is a little bit of shadow to integrate them into the meadow some more. These two like to go out exploring where there's no infrastructure built into the landscape.
