You’re ok, OP! It’s normal to want to share and also normal to not want to share! Everyone is different! Some people are more “stoic”, introverted, quiet, etc. and there’s nothing wrong with that or you!

I think you should talk to your partner about how they feel about the fact that you don’t share much. Because we are all different, they may want you to open up a bit more or they may be indifferent towards it. Relationships are going to be a bit of a compromise.

But again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being that way. :)

Edit: A lot of people have boring as fuck days too without much to share lol. If something interesting or funny happened during your day, your SO might appreciate a share!

Agreed! Looks so serene!

I legitimately don’t carry cash anyway tbh. I absolutely hate cash.

While I do like the pop of the left one more, will it stand up to repeated washing? Or will the pattern wear away or rub off?

I’m more inclined to like a laser etched glass because the pattern doesn’t wear away.

Overall, I don’t know that I love the look of the brown container itself, though.

Unfortunately I don’t know the name of it or anything lol. It’s a pretty unremarkable tune all things considered…it is just nostalgic to me!

Quite frankly I’m just lazy. I’ve always hated picking up my things and I’ve struggled with organization since I was a child. I think with me…my parents never really got on me about being neat and organized. So I never got into the habit. Still turned out fine! It just means I frantically clean before people come over lol.

Yes, I like that too! Some people drink coffee for the caffeine. But honestly, I never really cared about that part. I just love waking up with enough time to relax a bit with a nice cup of Joe. :)

My brain and body don’t immediately activate when I wake up.

Think of it like when you had to wait several minutes for Windows 98 to boot from a slow mechanical HDD platter lol!!

It’s kind of silly, but a long time ago when I pirated more games and software, I stumbled onto one of these key generators for one of my programs that I thought just had the best chiptune lol. Anyway, it has been my ringtone for years and years now.

My text tone is the RCT1/2 notification sound. Works perfectly as a phone notification noise haha. I’ve had this one for years and years too.

20 is old? Rip me then I must be a skeleton.

I wish my sleep paralysis demons were this friendly and comforting

No prob! Best of luck on your journey!

You sound very sweet, OP. Never change. A lot of people are just miserable themselves and want company being miserable.

Oh! There is a fantastic app that I used early last year! It was totally free with like zero ads or anything. It’s incredibly basic and limited in its features, but perfectly suited for what I wanted.

It’s called “Just Run: Zero to 5K”. The app icon is a white shoe on top of a green background.

I used it on Android, but it looks like it is available on iOS as well. It basically trains you to run 30 minutes continuously. For me, I generally take a bit longer than 30 mins to complete a 5K, but the app worked well enough to get me there.

It also has training up to a “10K” (running 60 minutes continuously…and again, it takes me longer than an hour to run a 10K).

I used it for a couple of weeks and then bought myself a cheap smartwatch to keep track of the actual distance I was running. The smartwatch helped me stay motivated because I could see a timer and distance on my wrist…whereas the app just gives you audio cues. But the app helped me stay motivated because I liked being able to click each time that I completed the workout. Note that the app does NOT seem to link up to a smart watch. Like I said, it’s a basic app.

I completed the 5K leg of the app in several months, and then I can’t remember if I used the app to get to 10K or not. I don’t use the app anymore because I have completed it…instead just electing to use my smartwatch on its own. At this point, the longest I have ran is 10 miles, but generally I only run 7-9 miles.

Best of luck! I’m certainly no expert, but if you have any questions, I’m happy to answer!

This is super interesting, thanks!

Any time! Hope you find something you enjoy!

Sure thing! I went with the Royal Kludge M75 wireless keyboard in this cool green and white keycap pattern with their “pale green” tactile switches.

I was looking for these things really:

1. Cool yet tasteful aesthetics
2. A 75% form factor (no numpad, compact while retaining arrow keys and function row…I want my mouse hand to sit close to my keyboard)
3. Tactile key switches (they have a satisfying tactile “bump” sensation when you press down on them, but aren’t insanely loud like “clicky” key switches)
4. Something that isn’t breaking the bank…currently this is 70 USD on Amazon
5. Wireless and wired capability

It met everything I was looking for and had some pretty good reviews on YouTube, so I pulled the trigger. Keychron seems to be higher quality than some of these, but it just didn’t have the interesting color schemes I was looking for. It also seems to tend to cost more. My PC case is green so it complements it well. The tactile switches are very satisfying to type on imo!

Keychron seems to be a pretty decent keyboard brand from my minimal research when I was looking to get a new one, myself! I ultimately went with something else because I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for with them, but they were def on my shortlist.

This instead reminds me of this classic YouTube video:

So what I suspect happens is that in newer development communities, the people building them just seem to find it easier to level/bulldoze an entire plot of land to build a neighborhood. Then they just don’t feel like putting plants and trees back in after construction is complete out of pure cost and laziness.

For older neighborhoods in the US, you’ll find a lot more foliage. I love it when I go to an older neighborhood that has large trees that canopy the area. They do exist here…it’s just that they have to be a bit older. My condo complex has some wonderful tall trees and plants everywhere. It’s not a new complex though and they seem to care more about plantife than some others do. They even randomly planted a massive tree last year for some reason lol. Seemed to require some pretty big machinery to haul it and put it in lol.

Before I bought my current place, there was another complex I was looking at. The trees were even larger and provided even more of a canopy across the area. It was gorgeous. And again, the neighborhood was a bit older.
