How are you doing financially?
  • I get job contracts for a few months at a time. Sometimes there are months when I'm unemployed, and those are hard on my savings. I used to do just fine, but this year has been very difficult and my normal savings are pretty much gone. (I still got some in funds/investments though.) So basically, I had a buffer but I had to use it, and now I have nothing. I guess it's because of the rise in prices? I don't "waste" money on frivolous things like I might have in the past, but it's only getting more and more difficult. Add to this student loans. I wouldn't have €1000 to spare for an unexpected expense. I am really angry at society, to be honest. If the job market wasn't so ass, I wouldn't have to deal with these short contracts.

  • Want to start dating but it'll probably hurt my best friend who I'm not romantically interested in.
  • Someone will get hurt, there's no avoiding that. But you should not sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of not hurting your friend. Sometimes we need to be a bit selfish in life.

  • What's your favorite Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (or Tears of the Kingdom) clone?
  • I stayed out of the game for nearly a year and then went back, ah the sweet sight of a quest list with actual quests in it ^^'''

  • What are your favorite shows and why?
    1. I like animation, though I mostly watch anime and donghua (Chinese animation). My favourites on that front actually tend to be pretty epic adventure stories, or total tragedies with a happy ending or not (á la Fate/Zero or such).

    2. I like political satire. On that front, I always mention the animated police comedy Pasila.

  • What's your favorite Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (or Tears of the Kingdom) clone?
  • Genshin I guess? But it's only similar to BotW in the very beginning I'd say, it very much has its own identity. I'm immune to the gacha because I have zero interest in putting money into it so anything like that doesn't bother me. I love the characters, story and exploration, especially in the desert! Of course it still eats my money from all the fanmade merch I buy and cosplays I make ^^'''

  • Thoughts on parental controls?
  • I've never understood screentime that works like, 1 hour of computer+TV+phone allowed per day. You can't even finish a movie in that... I'm glad my parents were lenient on me in that sense, and I was trustworthy too since I didn't do anything bad.

  • What is your most stressful, hectic and panic-inducing base-building game?
  • I don't know it, I'll check it out. Thanks!

  • Do you think your partner looks better with makeup?
  • Makes no difference really

  • What do you think of environmental protest groups?
  • The planet is being destroyed and the politicians are not doing enough. So activists protest. That's good! I can't imagine being angry at climate activists for inconveniencing my day; after all, the real culprits are the politicians who don't do enough!

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • I LOVE the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the historic city of Uruk (Warka) is in modern day Iraq. In that way, I have a lot of respect for the history. However, I would be too scared to travel there, for example. I hope truly that now after ISIS war, things keep getting better for the people there. I don't hear many news from there anymore, though I wouldn't mind hearing.

  • Georgia adopts anti-LGBTQ law, raising concerns ahead of elections
  • "Russia-friendly government"

    Ah, that explains

  • Could Global Warming cause societies to become nocturnal?
  • The early risers rule the world... the work hours would become like 4am-12pm

  • What is your most stressful, hectic and panic-inducing base-building game?
  • Project Zomboid, because being surprised attacked or swarmed by zombies scares me

  • Georgian trans model murdered after parliament passes ‘anti-LGBTQ+’ law
  • I don't think Georgia will get much support from the EU with such laws. Last I remember, the Georgian people really wanted their country in the EU.

  • What do you block people for?
  • I don't block people, even if someone is being stupid I doubt I'd run into them that often again. But of course, if someone was personally harrassing me, I'd block, it just hasn't happened here.

  • Suihkuajatus: Yle järjestää Suomiviisut
  • Totta. Siksi meno olisi varmaan samanlaista, kuin Euroviisuissa, että edustavan artistin tai lauluntekijöidenkään ei tarvitse olla ko. alueelta kotoisin 🤔

  • Nuclear energy has no place in a green Scotland
  • I saw it recently, in a large paper. Idk where you are but here, people will gladly greenwash their actions by destroying vulnerable forests for wind turbines that don't even produce enough to excuse their existences. Doesn't mean wind turbines are always ineffective in every case. But it can be done inethically.

  • Suihkuajatus: Yle järjestää Suomiviisut

    Suomen maakunnat osallistuvat leikkimieliseen laulukilpailuun, omaa maakuntaa ei tietenkään voi äänestää.

    (Ja sun verovaroilla tietty järkätty.)

    Nuclear energy has no place in a green Scotland
  • True about budget and time on these things but i still think it's worth going for... It's better than coal or oil. And wind turbines and small scale hydroplants are not nearly as effective as we've sometimes been told, unfortunately. I'm not a Scot tho so you guys do what u will

  • Keskustelua kekristä

    Halloween meni nyt, mutta onko teillä tapana juhlia kekriä? Itselle se on vakiintunut marraskuun ensimmäiselle lauantaille. Kuulemma kekri on tekemässä ~huimaa paluuta~ jos Yleä on uskominen. Tuohon en osaa sanoa, onko totta vai ei, mutta täällä päin siitä on tullut pidetty kaupunkijuhla/markkinapäivä. Siksi itsellekin on tullut tärkeäksi juhlia edes menemällä sinne markkinoille.

    Olen yrittänyt hankkia uusia harrastuksia viime aikoina, että saisi vähennettyä kaikkea turhaa netin ja somen selailua; tulee nimittäin paljon parempi mieli, jos saa päivässä jotain aikaankin. Siksi aloitin vasta harjoittelemaan musiikin teoriaa. Tuli juuri (omasta mielestä) hauska ajatus väsätä jokin vanhoihin runoihin perustuva kekrirallatus, kun joululauluja meillä on pilvin pimein.

    It's getting difficult

    I've been identifying as ace for 10 years at this point, and I have always for the most part been completely fine with it. But recently I've been feeling very lonely. I can't quite vibe with the "I don't need nobody 😎" ace meme energy anymore as I mostly just feel sad about it. The worst part is that I'd rather "date" or whatever ace-date, qpr, I don't know, another woman, but I don't really have options because I live in a small town. It's kinda been wearing me down :(

    Also, I got a little lesbian flag colour sticker recently and I feel like an impostor. Though I am bambi lesbian I think? But still...
