People generally view constructive hobbies more favorably than consumptive ones. As long as gaming isn’t interfering with their responsibilities and relationships, I view it as just one of the ways people unwind in their spare time. I haven’t noticed strong negative reactions to gaming unless the gamer begins to neglect important parts of their life for it.
Around the house: cooking and meal prep, keeping a clean and neat living space if you don’t already. Basic home and car repairs. All of these will save you money in the long run. On the subject of money, learning to budget and manage your finances is also helpful. I recommend fitness to anyone. If the gym isn’t for you, find a sport you like, or at least go outside for walks.
As for studies, you can start with free online courses in things you think you might be interested in and assessing how you feel about them before going further.
Hah, it does seem like some people use their chats as drafts for their thoughts.
One concise message per issue is best. Separate messages are ok when starting a new topic.
When I hear “Mastodon”, the first thing that comes to mind is the band as well.
Just having to share a space for a third of your day (assuming full time employment) with someone you presumably already have something in common with can be a way of bonding, so I don’t necessarily think workplace romances are a bad idea. Nor do I think it’s wrong to approach or flirt with a colleague as long as you don’t cross boundaries and can take no for an answer. You should be mindful of how it will affect the dynamics of your relationship both at work and outside of it, whether the relationship is successful or not.
A personal warning from your boss is a good sign that you are making your colleagues uncomfortable and should re-evaluate what you’re doing.
So that’s what happens when you get down with the clown.

Even those who use social media like to look through their galleries on their phones or online and reminisce from time to time. Those photos might seem mundane in the moment but they still become preserved memories of the past eventually. They don’t lose value to the people in them because photos became easier to take now.
I’m quite avoidant of the cloud myself, but I wouldn’t assume that no one saves things locally anymore. It’s also possible to have digital photos printed and put into a physical album.
To remind you that you’re not as tough as you think you are.
Edit: why is that one on a leash?
Dark jokes aside, it’s common for symptoms to change during the timeline of the pregnancy. Some women say they start to feel more energetic and less nauseous during the second trimester, for example.
I prefer local markets for fresh and domestically grown produce, and because I prefer giving to the community instead of to chains. However, there are things which can only be found in larger markets because they are not grown/availble locally or currently not in season.
Local markets for quality and price, supermarkets for variety.
That’s a nice idea. When cooking for a large group, I like to have a variety of foods on the table to make sure everyone can find something they like. Sometimes I’ll make a large stack of crepes with sweet options (Eurocrem, jam, fresh fruit) and savory ones (cheese, shredded meat, ketchup, hot sauce, ajvar). I’ll also have hummus and crisp vegetables for dipping into it (carrot, celery, cucumber) and salad options. Other times I’ll make French toast and have a platter of assorted meats and cheeses. I also like making something similar to burek or pita with various fillings (spinach, mushrooms, potatoes) and cut them into smaller pieces. Ooh, and of course coffee, water, juice, and spirits to go with it.
Veel plezier! :)
It’s been answered many times already, but the most common reasons are parasocial relationships with specific creators, wanting custom or niche content that is otherwise difficult to find, or to support independent creators who want agency over their content instead of giving studios control of it.
Local museums, galleries, and exhibitions for discovering art in-person.
Lemmy has a community for sharing art, [email protected] , and there might be more niche communities for specific art styles depending on what you’re looking for. Art communities on Reddit have some very talented members (you can use a front end to view them if you don’t have an account).
Artists that document their process and have art in the portfolio in a similar style from before AI took off are more likely to be genuine.
I haven’t seen it, but for some reason I haven’t been able to forget this review:
Miso soup is something I make often and guests have commented that there is a seafood-like taste.
Mushrooms cooked the right way can be used to imitate mussels.
Seaweed/kelp in any form add an oceany flavor.
I haven’t tried these recipes yet, but maybe you’ll find one that you like: vegan seafood recipes.
Coating tofu in a bit of corn starch takes out some of the moisture and helps it fry. When adding crispy tofu to a sauce or to a larger dish, I’ll usually bake corn starch coated tofu instead.
Try to squeeze out moisture by pressing your tofu first (but not so hard that it crumbles).
Instead of using tongs, use a wooden spoon or spatula to separate the bottom of the tofu from the pan to prevent tearing.
Tearing it into chunks instead of cutting it into cubes helps it absorb sauces and flavor better.
Tactical salad, lol.
The humor was a bit too edgy for him.
