My place of work provides affordable housing. Best: helping people be housed Worst: It's a toss up between knowing there are still so many people waiting for help and seeing people sucked back into the cycle of poverty

I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I'm avoiding) doesn't mean I have to complete whatever task I'm avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn't mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I'm only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).

As far as motorcycles go, I've heard "loud pipes save lives", in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.

I agree! We grew some purple okra a few years ago and it was gorgeous!!

Oh, yeah! I love those tracks too.

Those lines in wrong way/one way: I touch the ground/send my roots deep down/try to stick around.

And these from big lie: Everything's changing / there's beauty between the lies

I'm massively indebted to the friend who introduced me to RVIVR. I think I love all of their music.

I once was able to participate in a live stream thing Erica did on Instagram; she asked for requests, and then played mine! I was on cloud nine for months after and still get giddy thinking about it. To be fair, I think she played all the requests, but still...

Me too, friend. Me too.

Pretty much any RVIVR song, imo. I was going to include the best set of lyrics, but I can't decide.

I'm partial to "goodbyes", "cut the cord", and "shaggy" from a lyrics+music standpoint, but find it difficult to separate the best lyrics without the music.

Ah, well, as they say, "we're all adults here, we can choose"

Yeah, the context button doesn't seem to add the context that I find helpful. I agree it should show your comment and replies to your comment (and parent comment, if applicable? Although I think that should show as a collapsed portion that you can expand as desired).

I wonder if I could get cloudberries in the US, I'd love to try!

When I click the chain icon, it brings me to the post and I can see the reply comment, but not my own (which for me adds a lot of needed context for interpreting the reply). Is this normal?

I've never had a cloudberry. Do they have a unique taste or do they share similarities with other berries?

I was going to make a similar comment 😁 Love that channel

Could you link to the post? I was only able to find another post with a similar (but different, imo) question, which was also removed as a duplicate. I'd like to read the answers, if possible

I stopped eating these because of how frequently the crumbs ended up in my bra! They are more crumble than bar, imo, and just not worth the mess!

Same.

I also "over apologize". My mom does too. We say things like, "I'm sorry this is so hard" or "I'm sorry your [insert injured body part] hurts!" when empathizing. We apologize if someone bumps into us.

For me (and my mom) this appears to be a learned behavior.

While I am from Minnesota, and my mom grew up in a small community a few hours from the Canadian border, I attribute this habit to my mom growing up with a mom who was pacified by apologies. For example: Every time someone in the family has a baby shower, my grandma is there, gifting several large wooden spoons with a "funny" anecdote of how she once broke a wooden spoon disciplining my uncle, while my mom always talked her way out of a spanking (by apologizing, giving compliments, taking on responsibility - essentially fawning). My grandma isn't "a piece of work", but I'm pretty sure she has ADHD (that lady cannot stop moving/talking!!), on top of a traumatic childhood.

I don't have anything to add other than commiseration at this point. My tendency to apologize as a social lubricant worked until I was out of college, when I started receiving feedback that it was aggravating, annoying, and made me seem weak (by people I would consider socially aggressive/takers/abusers on the extreme end of the spectrum).

I'm guessing it is in settings? Also a jerboa user. But I am seeing the comment images at a reasonable size. I'm using the dark theme, and I think I changed the font size, but it's been almost a month since I first installed, so not super sure.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Yeah, I posted a link to a song and asked if anyone else liked it, but the post was removed as off-topic. So I guess that was a stupid question.
