Just about 10 years on Reddit. My visits to Reddit dropped by 99.9%; still do a few check-ins with support communities I've used. Here on Lemmy, actively contributing and minor role as mod in a couple of communities. Building a new home in the stars.
That we've been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough "thinking" power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
And that we still can't make nylon stockings that don't "run," but that nobody cares because we don't wear them anymore.
That, and transgender is normal.
You probably have food banks in your area which would be delighted to get some!
I've read about a variation of this and do it faithfully! Except you have to be driving under an overpass with train tracks, and there has to be a (preferably moving) train on the tracks above you. The idea is that when you press your hand to the car's ceiling, you get to send a wish to hitch a ride on the train going by above you. The moving train takes your wish along with it, giving it quicker travels, more exposure to the world, and thus more opportunities to be fulfilled.
Language, other than one's native tongue.
Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite. And if they do? Bite them back!
Came here to say "sewing." And a little beyond buttons and tears—hems, darning a sock, simple alterations. And sewing a few simple garments will not only net you those clothes, but an understanding of how garments should be constructed, so you can look at ready-made clothes and tell if they're likely to be durable, or fall apart the first time you wash them.
I hear this! Mine now tries to snuggle up by shoving his butt toward my face, and draping his tail across my mouth.
Grew up in the 50s and 60s. Had a pediatrician who chain-smoked, and had ashtrays all over her office literally overflowing with butts.
Yah, I really don't want to see Lemmy become infested with p*nis enchancement ads, pseudo-science slime, and watch Russian bots commandeer US & other elections (yet again).
And for heaven's sake, start an investment retirement account now. Yeah, I know, "but I'm not making enough, but there's that shiny thing in the (online) store window, but I'm never going to get old." Just allot one take-out coffee's worth of spare change per week. You can up the ante later. Let the miracle of compound interest do its thing.
It's definitely not "normal," certainly not healthy. As to what—could be symptoms of many different possible underlying causes.
Alzheimer's, other forms of dementia, Parkinson's, Huntington's, multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's)… and similar concerns. We're not all affected by every one of these, but we can make common cause and support each other.
Mobile phones as phones—yes, maybe that's easy. But that we don't actually use them to TALK to people would be weird.

Edit: dang, didn't work.
Test: ::: spoiled? :::
Nope.
Sorry, absolutely no clue—like at least 30-40 years ago.
Absolutely! Toasted, with ketchup!
I believe you'd be welcome at !neurodegdissupport@lemmy.world. I'm a co-mod. We've got Alzheimer's, Huntington's and MS represented among the active and vocal participants. Yes, I know epilepsy isn't technically "degenerative," but it is neurological.
Oh gawd! We're calling stuff from 2000s nostalgia!? LOL—Boomer here. Every time I see new decade connected to nostalgia content, I'm reminded of how old I'm getting.
From my grandmother: "Essen! Essen!" (Eat! Eat!) Followed quickly by "You need to lose weight! You're getting fat!"
