Whenever I ask myself why my feed is full of political outrage-bait and dooming, it's usually because I acidentally opened the Discover tab.

time for my pre-social-event anxiety spiral phase not my favourite

the last thing my little teddy bear character saw before he died

of the next 24 hours, I'll be on trains for 12 of them kill me

people dooming about discord age verification when server owners can literally just opt-out by not setting any channel to age-restricted (and disabling the content filter if needed)

oh shit I just got an appointment for a consultation for a big medical thing in like 2 weeks

yea wfh is comfy but no free coffee :(

I'm permanently traumatized by Jira I saw someone on public transport playing solitaire on their phone in the corner of my eye, and at first I thought they were furiously moving tickets back and forth across lanes on a kanban board

the worst thing about winter isn't the cold or the dark but the fact that if I don't lotion constantly my skin turns into dry itchy parchment can't wait for it to be summer again

I brought up the burger vs sandwich topic in a discord chat with both Americans and Europeans and then left them to it they're still arguing fiercely after 40 minutes and one of the Euros is quoting Grok

made some chili, ate two burritos filled with it and I am full... while the pot seems to be as full as when I made it did I accidentally meal prep for the rest of the week?

apparently not charging (or using) my cordless drill for years permanently broke the battery pack? is that something that people expect to happen, my boyfriend was like "I'm surprised that you thought it would work" like that's the most normal thing ever

why is it always the same type of person who sets their emoji skin tone to white?

feeling like selfieposting again because I feel cute

where anger shell, why does sheer force work like this?!

I say this and then play Factorio until 6am by accident.

depending on time of day, my work webcam either overexposes me and I look like a pale vampire queen or it underexposes me and I'm darker than everything else

I just learned that retrofitting a peephole to an apartment door generally does not need to be approved by the landlord in Germany. Guess I know what my next home improvement project is.

I really need to sleep more

work starts back up tomorrow and my sleep schedule is still easily 5-6 hours behind

2025 was pretty good, but I expect 2026 to be even better! happy new year!

sometimes I don't know why I watch the video I watch on YouTube, like what's interesting about some guy just playing gen 3 OU ladder with a rattata on his team, but somehow I'm 45 minutes in

I got up at 5 and I'm tired and I'm hungry

nice restaurant dinner

2 more days, can't wait to be back home

one more person asking whether I play basketball and I'll just end it all right there and then

Summer packing: small shorts, small top, I can fit a dozen outfits like this Winter packing: big sweater, undershirt, big pants, bag's half full

watching my gf do a blind playthrough of SM64 and this might be the first time I saw someone get the shocking arrow lifts star by actually riding the arrow lifts!

international mail is so cheap, wdym someone will take my little sheet of paper 7000km halfway across the world for €1.25

if we didn't have 3 months in person, we would have easily broken the 1000!

I really need to stop fidgeting with my hair to the point that it's unrecoverably messed up, but I do think the messy ponytail look is kinda cute

year 2 of really wishing we also had thanksgiving here

I think one good thing about being German is that we have a massive website for people sharing cooking recipes, which enforces a standard no-fluff format for the content and generally has useful community ratings. Finding recipes in English is such a pain in comparison.

nerd

the word "loony" sounds way too cute to be derogatory

Every now and then

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

rotisserie chicken kinda day

is discord social media?

I feel so weird whenever a project is like To install, just do `curl [something]/install-something.sh | bash`. Like your server could put *anything* in there. You could probably even have someone sitting on the other end of the connection typing commands into my shell. It feels dirty.

I wish I looked like what people tell me I look like

the one upside off falling temperatures is I get to wear cute layered outfits (my favourite necklace would go so well with this but my girlfriend somehow managed to lose it after borrowing it for less than a day 😭)

oh HELL NO

It suddenly feels so backwards that you're expected to order something to drink every time you're in a restaurant in Germany. Where's my free complimentary water that just gets brought out for everyone without asking? Why do we accept that we don't just get that here?

I hate fall. It's cold, it's wet, it's basically dark already when I get off work, I can't wear my favourite outfits, literally everything about this sucks. And it's not even going to get any better until 6 months from now.

took a while but finally seeing them in action

I'm too European to really know what's happening in a football game, but go birds!

they had a complimentary wine on the flight flight attendant asked me whether I wanted red or white I said white she gave me red I just smiled and said thank you this is why I can't be alone

"strength of character? honey you cry when I ask you to choose what's for dinner"
