Remind me of some quotes:

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Recently, I came back home after 2.5 years of studying and working abroad. Home (family, friends, scene, etc.) didn't change much, but I definitely felt something off that it was hard to describe. I grew out of it, I suppose.

MxRemy , in I like to take a walk after my workday, just to change atmosphere and clear my mind. What is the daily thing that make you happy?

I do some tatting, very portable hobby so I can work on it whenever I am stressed out and have some free time

i_dont_want_to , in I like to take a walk after my workday, just to change atmosphere and clear my mind. What is the daily thing that make you happy?

Every day in the morning and after work and work days, I take about 15 minutes to myself. Just quiet time.

It really helps to recharge my batteries from all of my responsibilities. When I don't do this, I find I get stressed more easily.

I like to go on a bike ride in summer or when it's warm. For about two weeks I cycled the 15kms to work with my road bike, and it was pretty refreshing getting out of the office and ride the half hour home.

Interacting with everyone here.

I really struggle with my mental health, and some of that is the weight of being a parent......

That said, walking in from a long day of lugging boxes at work and seeing and hearing my young kids running to the door yelling 'Daddddyyyyy' is pretty great.

stepanzak , in You know there’s a pregnant man emoji?

In Czechia, we call it average Czech man older than 40 years

1984 , in You know there’s a pregnant man emoji?

It's a pregnant woman identifying as a man I guess. :)

andros_rex , in You know there’s a pregnant man emoji?

🫄Also a pregnant person option.

As a trans guy that does want to carry my own someday, it’s kinda cute and the fact that people see it on their keypad will probably make my life easier when I get to that point.

OpenStars , in I'm happy that 19.2 seems to have fixed most of the federation issues

Me who is still on 0.18.5: "So uh... you guys are having fun, I guess?"

lledrtx , in This might be unpopular, but I think Tiktok can be a valuable tool to discover new media (especially movies and TV shows), as long as you use the Revanced version

OMG thank you for the tip about revanced. I have been so sick of the ads. Almost every other video is an ad.

Avg , in How close are you to your siblings?

We no longer talk to each other, he refused to test for covid and wear a mask to come see my newborn at the peak of covid infections, after receiving multiple audio messages of just verbal abuse I cut ties. I lost a lot of friends we had in common but I'm good now.

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S , in How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years?

I'll admit I'm a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere!

Not to be a jackass, but I distinctly remember watching a video at the beginning of July about how he would leave in six months, and he even said his last video would go up on January 1st. It looks like the video has since been privated.

What are your thoughts?

I'm going to miss him as long as he's not making YouTube videos, but everyone deserves a break. Still, I selfishly hope he returns soon or at all, but if not then that's good too.

Thanks for the good times, Tom.

stoy , in How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years?

Came out of nowhere?

He announced it months ago.

shinigamiookamiryuu Mod , in Any obscure community you're a part of that you wish would grow?

There is a toolbar called the Hypothesis toolbar, it's basically a browser add-on that adds a comment section to any webpage that won't add one itself. It just needs more participants.
