Just having to share a space for a third of your day (assuming full time employment) with someone you presumably already have something in common with can be a way of bonding, so I don’t necessarily think workplace romances are a bad idea. Nor do I think it’s wrong to approach or flirt with a colleague as long as you don’t cross boundaries and can take no for an answer. You should be mindful of how it will affect the dynamics of your relationship both at work and outside of it, whether the relationship is successful or not.

A personal warning from your boss is a good sign that you are making your colleagues uncomfortable and should re-evaluate what you’re doing.

Even those who use social media like to look through their galleries on their phones or online and reminisce from time to time. Those photos might seem mundane in the moment but they still become preserved memories of the past eventually. They don’t lose value to the people in them because photos became easier to take now.

I’m quite avoidant of the cloud myself, but I wouldn’t assume that no one saves things locally anymore. It’s also possible to have digital photos printed and put into a physical album.

Dark jokes aside, it’s common for symptoms to change during the timeline of the pregnancy. Some women say they start to feel more energetic and less nauseous during the second trimester, for example.

I prefer local markets for fresh and domestically grown produce, and because I prefer giving to the community instead of to chains. However, there are things which can only be found in larger markets because they are not grown/availble locally or currently not in season.

Local markets for quality and price, supermarkets for variety.

Local museums, galleries, and exhibitions for discovering art in-person.

Lemmy has a community for sharing art, !artshare@lemmy.world , and there might be more niche communities for specific art styles depending on what you’re looking for. Art communities on Reddit have some very talented members (you can use a front end to view them if you don’t have an account).

Artists that document their process and have art in the portfolio in a similar style from before AI took off are more likely to be genuine.

Tactical salad, lol.

(While chewing lettuce) “Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.”

Spending time with my favorite people, helping others, finishing goals I set for myself, being outdoors, and listening to music are the big ones.

Then there are smaller everyday things like autumn and winter weather, good food and beverages, good books and films, putting effort into looking nice, and so on.

How about you, OP?

• I don’t want to have to create an account for everything. Even when account creation was required in the past, it would be enough to have a username and password (sometimes email address). Now often times there are so many unnecessary mandatory fields.

• I like my devices and appliances to have one dedicated function and to do it well, without extra features, preferably available offline. Music is listened to on the mp3. The TV is only the display and never the content source.

• I still prefer in-person interactions, jobs, lessons, and shopping to online ones (but support having online options for those who prefer them).

If everyone was discouraged from writing because of the amount of existing reading material, we would never have anything new. That’s only putting unnecessary pressure on yourself if you are writing recreationally. Write what you like and adjust it for an audience later if you have to.

Write down any ideas or thoughts that come to you - they don’t have to be organized. Once enough of them are on paper, you’ll instinctively look for ways to connect or refine them. Ask for feedback, look for works in your preferred genres for inspiration.

For this example, I would loosely define an event or item as historical if it was characteristic to a recognizable time period that people can instantly associate it with, or if it evokes feelings of nostalgia.
