There is no such thing as a bad reason for not wanting to drive a car. Any reason that makes you not want to drive a car is valid.

I am rather susceptible to hating actors because of some role they played. I literally hated Hugh Grant for no other reason than him being an asshole to Bridget Jones. I am now scared to watch Gladiator.

Meryl Streep. Oh God Meryl Streep

I know that I need to migrate, nevertheless thank you for making sure I know. What I meant with

How this matters

Is that honestly I don't see how I am connected to the instance to begin with. I'm trying to find a comparison that expresses what I feel but I fail to find a good one. Like a browser choice? No, there are differences in using firefox vs chrome. Like an email provider? Nah, also a huge difference. Like a remote control? I have come across weirdly designed remote controls though.

But the instance - I have no connection to it whatsoever. It is just a random thing that provides me access to (all instances of) lemmy. I'm not sure I could care less about it.

Maybe the closest I can come up with is the difference between a gmail.account ending in .com or in .de .

But again, maybe I am missing something important here. I'm really tech illiterate and it is not the area I have an innate grasp at. (I used to drop that I have no idea what a router is, how tf the internet works (there are cables at the bottom of the ocean?!) or how code is even doing stuff. The problem is that I always end up with an inbox of people thinking they will be the one to make me understand.)

I'm an absolute noob when it comes to tech and I don't even know what instance I am on and how this matters to be honest.

That was part of a joke at the start of an episode. Everyone complained that their boss didn't like them and Joey (working at the Central Perk at that time iirc) pointed out "yeah I wonder why none of your bosses like you. Maybe it's because it's Wednesday 12 pm and you are hanging out at a cafe".

I wear a cord jacket from first grade as a bolero (I'm in my mid 30s). I got older stuff but this usually weirds people out.

Apart from the meatballs (and maybe bacon) this sounds like a good pizza to me. I like just a little bit of cheese on my pizza and if I put this in the special order it is like they don't believe me and add extra cheese. I also like to go heavy on the sauce and add garlic. Did your place have garlic without butter?

To be very honest I just like Pizzabrot but I think they only sell this in Bavaria (whelp).

Marble highway, crown, couch for soft toys, bracelets, easter bunnies, caleidoscope, towers of castles,...

Funnily enough I haven't thought of binoculars. I'll try it out today!

That's beautifully written and very to the point. I wish you well in your search for a partner who takes you as you are and, equally important, who you like as they are.

That was such a cool response, thank you!

I am not sure I have ever seen a weasel in real life (whelp), do they get stuck in a toilet paper roll? I thought they would be small enough to get through. You could make an amazing labyrinth from them! We did try to make something like that for marbles, and it... didn't necessarily turn out well, but it was super fun and taught us grown ups a lot about dynamics I guess! Btw they work well if you use just halfs of the rolls. I mean you probably don't really need it, but you can craft pencil holders from them too, I used to do this as a kid (I was a huge Art Attack fan).

If you want to soundproof a wall, egg cartons are actually supposedly really good for that! I mean it looks weird probably but I remember egg carton walls from the 90s. But the sprouting thing definitely works too! I actually thought of this by myself (I am weirdly proud of that xD) and double checked with a friend who has studied horticulture (and who has very little money because, well, she has studied horticulture) and she said she does this too! So I guess I have a professional approval for that technique!

Your tetra pack use reminded me of using cans for plants as well! Or remember can telephones? My daughter is only 3 years old and I look forward to crafting more and more stuff with her. She still loves commercial stuff though (which we try to buy used at least), she is so much into Frozen it is ridiculous. We shielded her from this stuff and it took one trip to friends who had a girl who was an Elsa fan to get our daughter hooked long before she ever saw the movie. It's crazy. We actually were sewing some "Elsa dresses" for her dolls today. She was so patient with it because she wanted it so much. Parenting is the best thing that ever happened to me.
