Assuming Kindle Unlimited is a paid service, the book isn't free.

Yup. I live in the FSA (fucked states of america), am latina and I know a few of those fuckers. Beyond disappointing

My condolences on losing your sibling. Wonderful of you to take her in.

What's the source of the regret? I just turned 30, and am still undecided.

Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*

*not true of all cat people

Outer Wilds.

If you like space games and puzzle games (in the sense that you need to piece together the situation you're in), this is a great choice.

Highly recommend not looking anything up before you play.

I want to both upvote and downvote this comment... I chose upvote.

I don't really know how to describe it, but it's like I go through life just waiting for the other shoe to drop. When something shocking or remotely dangerous happens, my brain automatically assumes the worst is going to happen and I like go into survival mode. I get filled with such dread.

Your partner must not be very good at wrestling if you were browsing lemmy during a sesh.

I'm a cis woman on lemmy, and it's my primary (and only) social media consumption. That being said, I do tend to lean nerdy. Highly doubt I'm the only one on here, tho.

I grew up in a poor household, relative to the other kids I went to school with. While I was in public school, I was bullied for not wearing name brand clothing and because all of my school supplies and snacks and everything was generic brand. I became extremely self-conscious about it, and was always trying to hide what I had, or if I found name brand packaging for something in the trash or on the floor, I'd grab it so I could repackage my stuff and pretend like I totally had name brand stuff. As a young adult when I went to college, I only ever aimed for buying name brand stuff, but it was really hard to do so, considering I was still broke...

Anyways, I eventually matured a little more and realized kids are cruel and the whole thing was dumb. I exclusively go with generic everything now and am, always trying to get the best deal, and I even went back to buying second-hand clothes, cause why not?

All that to say, maybe some people had similar experiences and just never grew out of it.
