My IQ goes all the way up to 11!
I avoid Youtube as much as possible, so that makes it harder
That being said, I use Dreaming Spanish for my native hispanohablante content. Plenty of content, and more every day. The biggest issue is whilst I love some of the content, quite often, I find myself struggling to stay engaged. And that's the part I need to focus on. They have plenty of content, and I can find it if I go looking. I just need to make sure I do :)
My goal is just consistency. My spanish is coming along slowly, but it hasn't always been steady. Sometimes, I just stop. This year, I just want to keep it consistent. At least some content, most days, even if only a short video.
I've been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I've hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I've had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.
It's absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it's unlikely and it hasn't happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don't like, every single time I use it.
So for me, it's worth the risk.
Iceland?
Though prices are high in Iceland. Their wages are also high, which offsets that, but if you're coming in with foreign currency/income, you'll feel the prices more...
It doesn't really match my experience though. I'm one of those rare ADHD folk who has zero issues with sleep.
If you were born or adopted before December 15, 2025
Citizenship may have been restored or given to people who were born outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.
This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born
- before December 15, 2025
- outside Canada to a Canadian parent
This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.
If this change made you a Canadian automatically, but you don’t want to be one, you can apply to give up (renounce) your Canadian citizenship.
Adopted people are likely eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship through a direct grant for adopted people if they were born and adopted outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.
I like themed instances and would enjoy them more if the All feed were personalized instead of the same for everyone.
That's what your subscribed feed is for..
But choosing an instance that fits you best isn't possible
It doesn't need to be the best fitting instance possible. It just needs to be an instance that lets you use and interact with the fediverse in a way that works with you. That's why a lot of people use generalist instances. They're no ones "best fit", but they are also less likely to be bad fits for folk...
Some instances are themed, some are generalist. Because multiple communities can exist around the same topic/theme, the user based ultimately ends up in a community hosted on an instance that fits their needs, because if it didn't, they would simply move elsewhere.
Which ultimately means that if you get instance banned from an instance that hosts a community you want to use, there's a good chance you weren't going to last long in that community anyway...
Can I post recycled wine?
