Go to bed on time finally
OK, so what you want is for other people to volunteer their time and money to keep an instance running. That, by itself, is honestly fine, and many people are happy to do so.
But you then also do not want to play by their rules. That part is not fine.
Just host your own instance.
Others are luckily always free to block you, but you do not need to worry about losing your account.
There is not really any downside to hosting your own instance either, thanks to federation, you get to participate in the wider Lemmy community as an equal member.
Definitely planned for next time. This time we went south to Fukuoka (already very few tourists) and rented a car back to Tokyo, staying in smaller towns. Highly recommend.
I'm almost sorry to be blunt, but...
Women don't want to be chased. You're a misogynist who has reduced women to "people to have sex with" in your own mind.
If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don't, you don't. Either way it's up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.
Hard disagree. I'm watching Voyager for the first time right now. ~24 episodes per season, 7 seasons. You could remove a shitton of episodes from it to keep the basic plot of "Ship stranded far away. Get ship home." intact, but there are very few episodes you might be able to remove without taking something from the characters. And that's what's missing in modern series (including Trek) in my opinion; characters are either cardboard cutouts or have "arcs" that are more akin to whiplash. As a result I just don't care about these people. You also cannot really fix this with "just" better writing, because it'll still need to be rushed.
I do have a fulltime job, and hobbies, and friends that I spend time with. So I'm maybe averaging a single episode per day, and it's been and continues to be such a comfort that these characters stay with me, have time to breathe and develop, and get the space they need for the writers and actors to find their groove and make the characters something unique. I do not want to give that up again in favor of.... what? Getting fancy visuals and being done with a show after a week?
I'm permanently done with Marvel/StarWars/NewTrek. Next up are rewatches of DS9 and Next Generation.
Prisoner Of War:
I mean... that's a pretty memorable trip, no?
Oh, and while I'm at it: do not trust any food recommendation written in English. Good or bad.
If you travel to Japan, honestly just... Skip Kyoto. It is so full of tourists (national and international), you cannot possibly imagine unless you've seen it.
Sure, there's a lot of impressive temples there. But so is the rest of the country.
We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in Japan earlier this year, and if I could do the trip again, I would straight-up skip Kyoto and Osaka.
Rent a car, drive in some random direction. You'll he a lot happier, it it will actually be your trip. By far the best memories coke from places not in any travel guide.
Nah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.
