Music, without a doubt. Specifically, being able to choose particular songs to listen to. I'd get pretty miserable after a few days.

For anyone wanting to know the music, it's My Vibe by Mt. Joy (YouTube link)

Also, outside the US WhatsApp is some kind of standard the way rich Americans think iMessage is. Companies will ask her to contact them on WhatsApp, so she'll have to have it regardless of your personal involvement.

That really depends on the country that the family member is moving to, and is not an absolute thing world-wide.

That sounds so cool, until I realize that I wouldn't understand anyone around me. It'd still be amazing to see everything, but it'd be even better if I could have some subtitles as well. To be fair, I'd have much the same issue, if I were to go back to London of that year.

It took me around 18 years to find the song, It's a Rainy Day by Ice MC (YouTube link), which I rediscovered last year.

My older sister used to buy a lot of different compilation albums, think stuff like "Now That's What I Call Music! (Wikipedia link)". I started listening to a lot of them, when I was around 6-7 years old, and while Eurodance songs like Rhythm Is a Dancer by Snap!, Be My Lover by La Bouche, Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic (YouTube links), and so on, were easy to track down throughout the years, there was always one song I couldn't find.
I couldn't even remember any lyrics, only that there was some rapping, where the dialect made it impossible for my child brain to absorb and retain any words. The only thing that I remembered was that there would be sentences ending with an "eh eh", and that's really not a lot to go on!

Until one day, when I was walking around a store and they started playing it over the sound system. I didn't even realize at first, but when that organ hit at 0:21, I literally snapped my head up towards the speakers, hahaha. Finding out that he was rapping in Jamaican Patois, it suddenly made a lot more sense why I hadn't retained any of the words.

Apparently they also used the song during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony (Wikipedia link), which is wild to find out.

What band is that? I'm always interested in checking out new music.

Gløgg is the go-to Christmas drink in my country. Not exactly a cocktail, but I figured I'd mention it, since you talked about previously making eggnog.

Yeah, that's probably not too far off actually, haha. I just really enjoy a larger screen more. Maybe if I get one of those fancy foldable phones one day, it'll get way higher.

I'm okay with this, but I think my PC screen time would look pretty bad :')

Very interesting! I'm intrigued by this one. Thanks for sharing. I also enjoyed your write up.

Was it Queen of the Clouds? I like Lady Wood and Blue Lips too, but QOTC is just such a "leave it on, no need to skip any tracks" album for me. Such a vibe.

As far as I know, that's just always how it's been for markdown, which is what Lemmy uses. So in order to be sure that your comment looks the way you want it to, it's a good idea to use the Preview function, which Voyager thankfully also has under the 3 dots menu in the lower right.

@[email protected] also mentioned that you can put two spaces at the end of each word, and then it'll count the one enter as a proper line break.
Like this. You can also do as I did, and just put a dash in front of everything, and then it'll turn into an unordered list.
