I don’t remember how long it took the first time, because I was a child and I didn’t wore it the whole day. But now, when I change my glasses, it can take few days if it’s for myopia (trouble with evaluating distances, a little nauseous), and a little more for astigmatism. Change for astigmatism make me nauseous and weird, the world seems strange and not shape like it should, lights are weird… Even when I have a lighter prescription.

5 or 0 for me. It’s a little annoying. So if someone wants to change to another volume, I close my eyes and it’s OK. Under 10, all numbers become acceptable.

I knew a woman who gets very anxious if she meets someone with her deadname. She couldn’t be friend with and tries to not speak with the deadnamed person, etc. I hope it’s better know.

I often meet people with my born name, I don’t really care. I mean, I met people with this name before changing mine so it’s ok, it’s a very common name. I have a friend named like that. The hard thing is to not react to the name.

I have a cat who plays with strings and only with strings. I better not put something noisy at the end of the string.

Is he scared by noise, speed, a part of you (you’re big for him) when you play too close? I have another cat who can’t stand human faces near him. He’s a purring machine, but no faces.

And, yes, he may be just tired because of the URI, and anxious of all the new things even if he’s sociable. It’s one week, it’ll be ok for both of you.

Just reward him at the end of the playing session, so he didn’t “hunt” for nothing.

On average I don’t really need to go far out my way, because it’s mostly insects or spiders. I just catch the bees and release them outside, not far of their hive, don’t use something because a spider live here or help some thing trapped somewhere stupid.

One day my partner and I did 30km for an injured bat, because there was nobody closer who could take and heal her. I saw the birds the organization took in (for healing/helping) the same day, and you don’t often have a chance to see a baby owl in real life!

I open cans with a flat head screwdriver and find it easier

We definitely say that too

Yeah and people can chose another app. I tried a smartphone emulator for Signal, and I’m pretty sure I was the security weakness.

I live in France. I did nothing at all for months, but I had and wanted no social life. I returned to my computer because I wanted it, and to a dumbphone because of banks. Without a phone number, there is a lot of things you can’t do with your bank, and I couldn’t access to my bank account anymore. I know people with a landline phone and no dumb or smartphone and it’s ok for the bank, for now.

I have mail, phone numbers, etc. But what’s really annoying is people are always with whatsapp or signal and I can’t. I feel left out of lot of things. I’m often the last to know social events.

Edit: and there are lot of services which requires smartphones, even state ones.

Kala namak salt is funny, tastes like egg.

Not everyone has english as primary language, and abbreviations are difficult to know and/or remember.

Boiled little cubes of zucchini. No spice, no salt, nothing. It’s for my cat, I have to do this all year round and it’s annoying.
