Don’t eat the yellow snow

Clothing and towels made with asbestos fabric. During the middle ages you could clean them by throwing them in the fire and they would come out clean. Eventually your lungs would give up on you but for a while you had a very cool way to impress your guests.

Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)

A vintage cult classic, which is the inspiration for many other cult classics

I’d like to try that. How do you get to that settings?

Just finished watching this episode and reading this post. I would like to read the next one after watching the next episode. Is there an index somewhere making it easy to find all these posts? If not it would be worth it, because they add value to star trek and they also add value to Lemmy

If you take the time to learn the languages spoken in your area, you multiply the opportunities that will come your way, socially, professionally, romantically, etc.

One practical way to informally assess your bilingual level:

You are bilingual when you have a friend who can only speak your second language.

You could look into “attachment style”, and perhaps you are “avoidant” or something similar.

Discussing this with a therapist, or advisor or life coach could probably help you zero in on what’s going and what to do about it.

Are you saying you haven’t taught this to everyone yet?

I started to turn my hobby into a business 17 years ago. 5 years later it became my main occupation. I don’t spend a lot of time on admin, maybe 15% top, because over the years, I made it a strategic game to streamline my processes, and I pay an accountant to help me with the taxes and other similar things.

It’s awesome to be paid to do what I love to do. How much time is too much when you do what you love? Just remember to balance your life after your business is stabilized, so that you have other hobbies on your time off. Also, make space for the important people in your life.

Expect to work all the time in the first few years though, so plan accordingly, for example, if you wanna have a social life, weave your business into it. If you wanna take some time off to play a game, bring your partners into the game.

Don’t worry, after your business is stable, you will get actual time off.

I suspect the “don’t turn your hobby into a business” idea was originally dreamt up by some business owner who didn’t want their employees to leave for a better life, and then we accepted it because it seems to make sense. It sure delayed me for years, before I decided to make the big jump.

That being said, I hear restaurants have low profit margins especially in large urban areas, so if you go for it, make sure to keep your costs extra low.

Spend time becoming extremely good at something you enjoy (and that your community needs) and you will find some people with disposable income will pay you to do it, because they want something good And they can afford it.

Once you get used to the controls, the game turns out to be very well balanced.

I was using my phone to access Reddit through an app called RIF. It stopped working.

I can access Lemmy on my phone through an app called Boost. When I revisit a thread, it displays the new comments in a different color. Very very very convenient for active threads.

I’ve read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy.

Were you reading some Mormon booklet? Anyway, you were misled, but cheer up, you can probably find better reading material, starting with the several answers you got here.
