International Women's Day and start of daylight saving time in the USA. I guess this post is referring to the latter.

Hopping on a train alone for a couple of hours has been my default mode of transportation since long before I was 18. Mostly to visit friends so I didn't have to worry about a place to stay overnight so if you don't have that, maybe start out with a day trip.

That's the universal human experience. Listen to every marginally famous person and they will tell you that a single negative comment feels like it weighs more than 100 positive ones. Then factor in that people who disagree feel compelled to voice their opinion while those who agree often silently nod to themselves and move on. So the 100 positive comments are likely representative of 500 people who agree but don't say anything.
So far, you seem to be doing well. Don't let a couple of the haters get to you.
Of course, if a pattern appears of many comments criticizing the same thing, then you can think about if there's something you should change about your behavior. But even then, the change should come from your own realization that you want to change something, not from a desire to appeal to the faceless mass of terminally online weirdos.

From your other posts, I guess you are around 18 and this is your first long-term relationship. If that's the case, don't worry too much about it. Don't expect your first relationship to last forever. Or your second. Or third. Enjoy what you have for as long as it lasts but don't be afraid to move on when either of you becomes uncomfortable with it. If you treat every relationship as if it must last forever, you won't recognize the signs if something develops in the wrong direction and you risk locking yourself into something you don't want, just because you don't realize that you have other options.
Breakups hurt like hell but they also help you grow. With each one you learn something about yourself, your life goals and what you like and dislike in a partner. I'm in my late 30s now and if you count everything that lasted longer than a year, I'm in my third long-term relationship right now, with a hand full of shorter ones in between. The longest one lasted for about seven years and ended because we figured out that our plans for the future had changed in a way that no longer fit together. Breaking up was the right choice and maybe we should have done it a bit earlier but at the same time, I'm grateful for every single day we had and regret nothing.
So in short: see where the journey goes. Be open-minded either way. Maybe you'll stay together for another month, another year or another decade. Enjoy each other for as long as you're both happy but don't be afraid of ending things when you're not.
I think it’s meant to be short for Mega-elements, so millions of elements.
Hey, at least this one won’t become a murderer when the relationship breaks apart.
Pretty much that, yes. I remember stopping for a moment and wondering what had just happened. I was of course aware that I had existed before. Who and where I was. At the same time it felt like all that was vague and distant, like suddenly waking up from a dream.
Realistically, it was probably just an unusually intense doorway effect but the fact that I can still remember it so vividly, even decades later, shows how significant it must have felt to 3-year-old me.
When I was about three years old, I walked down the hallway from my room toward the living room. I remember that even in that moment it felt like I had blacked out halfway through and my brain started working a couple of steps from the living room door. Everything before that is blank, yet I have tons of memories from the weeks and months after that event.
Well, even without everything that happened to him, he would have died from old age by now. Might have had a chance to see the rise of home computers and the early internet though.
If it hasn't happened yet, it's probably just a matter of time until someone creates an NSFW loops instancce.
They are pretty effective at showing how many victims there were. There are three right in front of my door and in some German cities you can't walk more than a few dozen meters without seeing one. And now remember that only about 100k have been placed. That's only about 1% of the total victims.
I have two. Both not the worst in terms of total delay but memorable for being horribly annoying.
- ICE train from Dortmund to Karlsruhe (Germany) in December 2017. We'd had a couple of centimeters of snow the night before but nothing too drastic... until right after Frankfurt am Main. A railroad switch near Frankfurt am Main Stadion was frozen and could not be operated so we had to stop for over an hour at that tiny station. In the meantime, the beer in the onboard restaurant had run out and some already drunk passengers stole the conductor's phone to blast the anime music over the train's speakers and argued who would leave the train to buy more booze. Eventually we had to return to the previous station where dozens of additional passengers boarded. We were confused but got told that ours was the only train that would even attempt the rest of the trip. In the end, we arrived about three hours late.
- A trip by regional train from Kassel to somewhere near Duisburg (Germany) in September 2021. Should have taken about four hours but due to an unexpected storm and a tree that damaged the overhead lines, the train had to stop in the middle of nowhere. It took 90 minutes just to figure out which taxi company would take us to the next station and a total of eight hours to get to our destination because it was so late at night that at some point no connecting trains were available.

Correction: a TV show of which you've seen most episodes at least 15 times. There's always that one season that you skip because you didn't like it the first time.
Not the point of the video.
I think OP is not a native speaker. The (implicit) question is probably "Do you agree?"

I finished high school in spring which was a true blessing. I had always been a good student (4th best in my year) but got bullied for being a nerd.
Over the summer, I worked as a programmer for a small game studio, making a Nintendo DS game that got cancelled by the publisher on the day we sent in the last release candidate because they finally noticed that their idea was crap and they should have accepted the changes we had proposed. Didn't matter, I had already been paid and got a lot of experience out of it.
In October, I started university which was a great chance to make new friends. By now I've lost contact with most of them but some are still around and I appreciate them a lot. I was lucky enough to already live close to the university so I could stay at my parents' house.
Through all of this, I was in the middle of my first serious relationship. My partner moved from across the country to a town just an hour away from me. Being able to see each other more often was amazing but at the same time it made things more complicated. We were constantly struggling with aligning our schedules, couldn't agree at whose place we should meet and got annoyed when one wanted to meet friends on a day the other would be free. We broke up in 2009 but we're still good friends.
It was pretty much the peak of a community that I'm still part of today. Apart from long online discussions, we met twice a year for community events with about 60-80 guests who decided that it's our turn to define what being a grown-up means. These events still exist (the last one was just a few weeks ago) but they've gotten smaller and some of that chaotic creativity has been lost forever.
Overall, 2008 may have been the start of one of the best sections of my life. I've never had more active friendships at the same time, before or after. I had many of the perks of being an adult without most of the drawbacks. I earned a bit of money and could keep most of it because university is cheap in my country and I didn't have to pay rent. If I had the chance (and could take a few people that I met later with me), I would probably go back.
The worst sites are the ones that let you sign up with an unusual address but not log in. The worst I‘ve seen was some ticket system that rejected dfyx+theirdomain@mydomain after I clicked the link in their confirmation email.
Lemmy 1.0 will support scheduled posts
Did we ever get an explanation for that?
