Coming from discuss.tchncs.de, I’d like to create a non-Lemmy profile in case things went wrong there. PieFed seems nice.

  • Masks, frequent handwashing, hand sanitizer, more distance from people than usual, less frequent grocery shopping, stopped going to public places except transportations and hospitals.

    I lost my uncle in the early days of Covid, due to hospitals can’t take in any more patients.

    Also I fear for the lives of our cats, even though they are all house cats. There were cases pets get killed by fearful residents. I fear the government would cull your pets like they did to the minks.

    But on the lucky side, we didn’t find anything lacking in most cases. We already had abundant N90/FFP2 masks and some surgical masks, they were from previous flu seasons and for DIY jobs. We always had a habit of changing clothes once home. Most of the things that were hard to find, we already had spare. Until later there was a food shortage, but that was another story.


  • I’m with you on this. It sometimes feels like those who play multiplayer games have a different schedule.

    When WoW Classic launched I tried to play it with a friend. But all they did were raids. Raids at dinner time, raids for four hours straight, raids every day. If I’d play with them, I won’t even have time to make dinner nor have the time to eat, sometimes I wasn’t even home when they begin their raids. It didn’t feel like gaming at all, just another chore. And I was told it was the vast majority of players. I remembered it has good would-building when I played the earliest release back at school, but I didn’t realize most people play it in a mind-numbing way.




  • I was just graduated, and very depressed. Found my first job, but got fired because of frequent mental breakdowns. I was on medicines that I can’t afford. Overall in poor health. But after failing some attempts in college, I generally abandoned the suicide plans during that time. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 18 years too, happy birthday to you.












  • I’m trying to sort them by languages first, then by genres. But I’m terribly at organizing, and not having enough space, many are mixed up. Also, I wish I have the space for more than one real shelf. Half of my books are in boxes.

    Like, Sci-Fi in my native language should be in the back roll of the shelf, but some of them are here and there. Non-fictions should be in the front and lower roll of the shelf, but other languages are in boxes, bedside, and desktop shelf, so basically everywhere… And books by one author but in different translations are stored in different places, it’s slightly frustrating. Now I thought about it, maybe I shouldn’t separate them by languages.


  • I have several swords. Some are light and nimble, at least for an adult, like my Messers are all around 800g, 90cm-ish in length, with point of balance at around 11-13cm. I think a child should have no problem wielding them if they do it with care. Then there is a 170cm Zweihänder, weighted about 3kg, PoB at 11cm. I have no doubt a child would be able to lift it, but to use it, it would be very hard. If she can use that adult-size-looking-sword in the picture then she definitely earned it. ;)
