I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • Thanks, i was worried it would be too widespread and nobody would find it remarkable 😂

    Erin in The Office does it too.

  • I have another one: use coconut oil (thick one) as a mouthwash to improve gum health and whiten your teeth more. It also is great for neutralising any acidity or any bad taste in your mouth, if you're not yet ready to brush your teeth.

  • Why would you ever have a backlog in the first place? Why would you buy a game and then not play it?

    I don't know why, but i think we all do it, lol. I feel like people only need about 2 or 3 good games that they can keep on coming back to, and this takes away all our time to explore the free steam handouts or games we grabbed from sales.

    Some games i paid for that I haven't played through:

    • Frostpunk (im too obsessed with Anno instead)
    • Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 (it was buggy)
    • Disco Elysium (i misunderstood what it was and troed to be a perfectionist/try out several different stats so now i've played the intro section five or so times?? And i'm bored of it)

    All of those are highly lauded games but somehow i have felt no compulsion to try them... i guess too much choice is a bad thing. 90% of my steam library reads like negative space to me, and I'm compelled to continue projects on the three games currently in my circulation

  • I've heard this before - I thought it was just looking into the distance. You've reminded me to try it though. I went from perfect vision to rather short sighted throughout my life so far 🫣

  • Oh really? It does line up with my experience.

    Found a little article or two on it

    Going from a hot to cold shower — even for a couple of minutes — might protect you from circulating viruses. The shock of cold water can stimulate the blood cells that fight off infection (leukocytes). One study in the Netherlands found that people who switched to cold showers for 30, 60, or 90 seconds for 90 days called out sick from work 29% less than people who didn’t switch to cold showers.

  • Our employers, who weren't getting any middle-of-sleep-sex, demanded we all take one single 8 hour sleep instead

  • In between sleeps was time for chores or prayer or even sex

    Honestly sounds like the most rock & roll thing ever. Pre-scheduled medieval sexing time - gotta say our midnight prayers first, though.

  • Okay this is a good tip! I do find that getting out of bed earlier than i need to always has me going back to a satisfying sleep later on

  • Yeah this one was weird to hear about, but if i think about it it's something I do myself, so i guess it really does work.

  • What are some uplifting/inspiring/empowering songs? (I mean like songs about personal struggles... or political struggles...) (pls link if possible)

    Jump

  • Ah well many people don't like Spotify anyway because A) they have too many adverts and the premium version is too steeply priced, and B) they don't pay artists that much

  • What are some uplifting/inspiring/empowering songs? (I mean like songs about personal struggles... or political struggles...) (pls link if possible)

    Jump

  • A lot of stuff by The Alan Parsons Project, notably:

    Coldplay

    Bruce Springsteen (huge caveat is that it's really hard to tell what he's saying when he sings, lol)

    Various Artists

    David Bowie made a lot of songs about recovering from drug problems but they're more for ruminating on your issues than inspiring and uplifting from them.

    Death Cab for Cutie are also really really good for their songs about personal struggles

    All of these links are spotify, I can add youtube if that's more convenient.

  • What's your pitch for a new pizza?

    Jump

  • Take a margharita or just tomato pizza and then just dump some paella or chorizo rissotto onto the top. This isn't much different from normal pizza with spicy sausages and mushrooms and vegetables, but it is a new way of doing it, and noe you have a bunch of rice for added calories

  • Does anyone have any information on why LemmyNSFW is down?

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell, one of the main selling points of lemmy is actually the ability to filter out all NSFW communities, which is better than reddit where they conflate "nsfw for porn" with "nsfw for a swear word or scary topic in this text post."

    If people want to express a dislike of porn or say "eh it's bad for you so stop browsing there" then I don't mind. Could just block them if it gets really excessive.

  • What is the weirdest story from your high school?

    Jump

  • See I think that's the real weirdest story from your high school. Janitors being expected to perform first aid

  • How did you decide it was something you wanted to do/get into?

    Who do you have sex with more often - your husband or people other than him?

    Is swinging something you attend consistently like a sport club or something you do "seasonally" when you two really feel like it?

    If it is more of a routine obligation/club, does that mean people sometimes turn up but don't feel like having sex?
