Americans take the least vacations globally. We also get the least amount of time off. in c/aboringdystopia

I do get it, that’s why I live in Europe. It’s just shocking to read about such cartoonishly evil treatment of humans.

I am scared to flirt with girls. in c/relationship_advice

[–] iarigby 6 points 6 months ago

learning to casually flirt is hard! And you can’t learn it without trying and failing a few times… It was scary for me too. I agree with others that spending more time accepting and loving yourself would be beneficial. Another thing that would be beneficial to accept is chance of rejection. It’s not personal and also not a big deal if the person that expressed interest then moves on. I’ve made a mistake a few times really inflating my expectations and fueling my interest and then reacting very poorly to rejection, so that’s another thing I’ve tried to improve.

If you work on these barriers and take shots, you’ll get some practice and improve, and over time you’ll definitely have at least a few successful interactions which will be immensely helpful.

Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing? in c/asklemmy

[–] iarigby 16 points 6 months ago

and that kind of driving affects not just brakes, but gas, engine wear, etc. not to say how horrible the whole experience of being bumped back and forth is. it’s SO simple and really reflects how careless and ignorant people choose to be about almost everything, and then that makes me really irritated

there were other comments here mentioning that rcs has issues with encryption, and I don’t think handing over our private communication to isps is a step forward. It is literally a decade long step back.

just looked it up and couldn’t find a decent client for ios. There was Monal but it looks more like a draft rather than a finished application. Things don’t even have padding or margins. The snikket one I won’t even mention, you can’t expect people to use something that gives them visual discomfort.

Europeans, do you take the train to travel to other countries? in c/[email protected]

[–] iarigby 2 points 6 months ago

Germany -> Austria can cross multiple borders. There is a direct train from Berlin to Vienna via Prague. I also traveled an indirect one and had a nice lunch brake in Prague.
