This, and I think Flohmarkt is not enough. Many craftsmen only publish their researches and sell their works on Facebook, for example Adam Bodorics Swordmaker. Their crafts are excellent, but they don't appear anywhere else. The only choice I've made now is sadly just avoid them.
We were 37° last week, 50%~90% humidity too... Thankfully, we had lots of rain this week, it's down to 30° now...
Yeah, the guilt for not give them enough never left you. I'd like to move on, but even after many years, even after my family added another cat to our family, I still fear for the worst.
All good films. Which reminds me, I should watch Brazil again.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
This movie has a special place in my heart. For me it constantly remains you who's the most important person in your life. Your time together is short and fleeting. Unfortunate things can happen. You really need to hold the moments you have together while it lasts.
!europe@feddit.org and !dach@feddit.org was formerly on the now closed feddit.de I think. It took me sometime to find them again…
Edit: I think a better solution is for us to custom group similar communities.
I'm trying to browse materials in the languages that I wish to learn, and use a translator when I don't understand them. Feels like cheating…
I treat these people like those who think the Earth is flat. Ordinary foreigners may not be actively followed by someone nowadays. But things like heavy censorship, starvation in certain recent situations, travelling restrictions, they may never experience them in their own country their whole life. Nor did their parents experienced something far, far worse. Those who live to tell the story maybe lucky or unlucky. They never have to tell those things only privately.
The Americans I've met in real-life were quite chill, and reasonable. But on the Internet I too have a feeling that they are expressing stressfulness more. It seems to me they can freely talk about the things they hate, and they do it, to the point many things on the Internet about the US are those. And it's hard to touch grasses in Winter.
Looks like where your heart truly belong is Mao's China or Stalin's Russia. You've commented quite a lot of things.
I have to admit, you are right. If there is nothing been stuffed into their minds, most people really don't know what to do with themselves, just like Montag's wife from Fahrenheit 451. But there are differences between actively seek something you interested in than going blank and let the algorithms do the job for you. I thought people in Fediserse mostly against the idea of the latter. Otherwise, you will go to Tiktok or something.
Why, don't you know there's a thing called observation?
I've seen people scrolling on it their whole time on public transportations on materials worse than the worst of TV commercials, like they were in a trance. I know people who using it for at lease an hour every day before bed, and admitting they don't know what they get from it, just boredom. From what I know, it's like brainwashing for people who don't know what to do with their lives.
I'm glad that in the US you got to keep your land no matter what. It's a relief that real community still exists in other parts of the world.
This ideal rural place is so different from the rural that I see. But I know it's just a game, and Countries and areas can be very different.
In the game, the land you inherited from your grandpa can be left along for so many years, no one has already seized it. Even the Mayor has left it along, not put it into some other uses. Maybe it really is very remote, to the point no one thinks it's somehow profitable.
The residents in this game are not paranoia. They don't view you as some outsider who wants to take something from them or hurt them. (Edit: Well, some are indeed very cautious.) We had a relative who went to remote areas in their youth, they went back suicidal. There were several neighbours went back from different villages over the years. All of them seem to full of fear. Even us went out receiving parcels or stray cats went by can trigger them. One of the time we were downstairs recycling our things, The neighbour thought we were damaging their water pipes.
And young people didn't all went away. There are actually many young people staying in this rural town.
Pierre's store sell genuine goods.
The worst things they experience are having a boring futureless job, loneliness, and without a girlfriend.
But at lease it makes you want to live in it, the people in there are so much better.
If you gradually put in vegetable wasts, cardboard paper, and maybe some soil, keep them airy and moist, and turn them often, in the worst case they only have a little bit unpleasant smell in the beginning. One of my compost pot is mostly indoor, it has a smell, but it's a pleasant smell.
I live in a small flat too. Usually, I put my compost in a big plastic bucket with holes underneath, then hang it outside the window. Bring it indoor when it's freezing outside. I also use a relatively big pot, put it beside my other plants on a window shelf. But I only put in normal garden wastes and a small amount of fresh kitchen waste, as the spaces really weren't enough, they already take at least a year to decompose. Not sure if it's doable for you?
Edit: They don't smell if they decompose right.
I stick iron wires into every pot to form an umbrella, then coil threads around them to form a dense net, to stop my cats from destroying my plants. :|
