Do these tests take place with people watching? If not, could you not bullshit by saying “Yeah I’ll do it”, then lock the parents out from seeing anything before having a chat with the girl about how bullshit it is, then bullshit even more by simply telling the parents “yep, totally a virgin, absolutely a virgin”?

That said, now I read that out loud I realise that’s probably way too risky and could cost you your license.

And often the only thing that could convince such a person would be to see it happening firsthand.

See: YouTuber Jeranism and his recent trip to Antarctica. Seeing a 24 hour winter sun was the catalyst to pulling him out of that particular rabbit hole.

That said, if the person in question is American and doesn’t know how it happens, just sit tight because I’m sure the ICE will be along sooner or later to inform you of your free flight to El Salvador.

Failing that, we could always send said person to Western China to show them what’s going on there.

To add to what the others say, I would also add a reasonably sized bin and bin bags within arm’s reach. Though you’d still have to remember to take that shit out as well.

DM;H- oh no, an ocelot!

I’m with you all the way to the final sentence.

Your indicator usage is linked to your mirror usage. If you use indicators in all situations regardless, what you might actually forget to do is look in your mirrors properly, which is more important.

Your first two mentions are fine examples. In the UK at least, using indicators when entering your driveway or a parking space isn’t necessary if no other cars or pedestrians are approaching your car.

Yeah we were only a few inches away from the good timeline

The first thing seen at the top of WhatsApp now is an AI query bar. Who the fuck needs anything related to AI on WhatsApp?

I saw one of these the other day. I love that these are modelled after the PSP, it’s glorious.

It’s obvious to me. I get that it’s not obvious to her 😂

Oh she does it constantly with everyone 😂 she is aware, and is striving to do it less, but yeah, it’s all confidence.

She loves baking, for example, and is really good at it, but will apologise profusely for how bad they are before anyone has even tasted them. Perfectionism is absolutely a part of it, and I think that’s been imposed on her by her mum who is also a perfectionist and expects everyone else to be a perfectionist.

But yeah, were figuring it out 😊

I do experience a bit of the paradox of impatience:

“Sorry”

“Don’t be sorry”

“Are you angry?”

“I’m not angry”

“Did I do something wrong?”

"NO YOU DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG FFS!!* 😂

Yeah, I know the struggle 😂

We’ve both been working on ourselves emotionally for a long time, so we spend a lot of time and energy trying to explore why we feel certain ways about different things, and then working together to try and help each other get to where we want to be.

I obviously have behaviours which I don’t like about myself which I’m working on, and she also has behaviours which she’s trying to work on. This is one of those areas where we’re trying to figure out together “how much apologising is too much?” as a general curiosity, rather than it being an actual problem.

Neither of us feel like we apologise enough, but I don’t get called out on how much I apologise, but she does. A lot of our friends and family often tell her she doesn’t need to apologise, or that she apologises too much! 😂

I understand why I don’t want her to do it, and it’s for many of the reasons you stated: perfectionism, people-pleasing, high social standards, fear of disappointment, etc. all of which can lead to her feeling sad, anxious, and over thinking every tiny detail which obviously isn’t good for mental health.

But to try and figure out how I physically and emotionally feel when I hear her say “sorry” is tricky. Do I get frustrated? Do I feel pity? Am I annoyed? Am I annoyed at her? (Obviously I’m not, but she often assumes I am)

I guess we’re just finding it interesting to work through that childish curiosity of answering the question “…but why?” from a perspective which isn’t as often looked through.

And thank you for the response! ❤️

Fuck that noise. When Hitler comes knocking, you shoot first.

My completely uneducated guess would say that this is the language of a country who know a few things about a Molotov Cocktail!

The closest word in my mental vocabulary which comes close to “Suomessa” is Suomi which is Finnish for Finland

Tiedämme? They tied a dam?

Muutamia has to do with a mutiny!

Asioita, I have no clue.

Then they reference the infamous Flaming Sambucca!

So Finland once staged a mutiny with fiery alcohol and a dam!

Maybe bean (I forget how to tag people in Lemmy posts) can tell me how close I was.

Well he certainly got at least one of those fraudsters!

Whatever you say you fucking dumbass 👍

It’s amazing how they make up whatever meanings they like for words, but can’t handle that the word “theory” has evolved two different meanings based on whether it’s used in a scientific context or not.

Oh! Now you fucked up!

Which very quickly started to add the occasional banner and constantly push nitro. It fucking sucks.

Is there a defederated version which doesn’t constantly drop quality and connection like discord does?

Elon is prefnart!??!
