What can you do to mitigate that fear? You obviously know there’s some irrationality to it, but that doesn’t mean that it would be invalid to try and dampen some of those concerns ^^

How about getting a little fire extinguisher for your kitchen? I’m confident with cooking, but I still always have one on hand just in case!

You can also try and experiment with what exactly your boundaries are. Are you comfortable making something like a soup/stew? Does it bother you to bake something? That might be more than enough for the start, and once you get comfortable with that you might even naturally want to level up to scarier stuff.

When it comes to fears, the only way to lose is not to try. Because every instance of avoiding something you’re afraid of reinforces that fear by making you think that you successfully avoided a scary situation. Even if absolutely nothing would have happened otherwise.

Good luck!

You can just create a community that you would like to see ^^

…can I take more than one?

the way yoga instructors speak, for some reason. I don’t hate Yoga itself, just that fake calm voice makes me pretty mad. I could relax much better if the instructor just shouted like a drill sergeant all the time

Should be pretty doable, even if you don’t have much JS knowledge yet. You might want to look into TamperMonkey for this, it’s a sort of framework for making custom browser plugins!

I tried to go to University for CS but never quite got the hang of the math part. Instead I got a Certification in Computer Science from an apprenticeship (idk if that’s the right Translation, in German we call it “Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung”) within 1.5 years and with extreme ease, because it was way less math-heavy and more focused on actual programming.

I stayed with the company that I did the apprenticeship with and got promoted from Junior to Regular within a year. I work exactly in the field and position I wanted to work in when I was going for the CS degree. In fact, I have the exact same responsibilities and the same pay as my colleagues with CS degrees. It might not be like that in every company, but it did work out for me.

Just for fun, I actually went back to Uni this semester to try and actually finish one or two math modules, but dropped out within 2 weeks because I was hopelessly incapable of even understanding the basic concepts lol

I feel like a rambly long-form joke like this could really land: https://youtu.be/AXtNUgEWgQI

Man, your post history is a wild ride. Best of luck!

Just grabbed one to try since I was in Aldi anyways, it’s pretty good! I never knew that Flying powers came in sugar free flavors beyond the black one. The packaging is so subtle haha

When you photoshop the images to the online doctor to get an Ozempic prescription

I don’t think it’s very convincing. The line on the T should have the same color as the stripe. Here’s my last positive test as a reference. Good luck!

That unironically might work tho Like getting their mind off of the current thought spiral can be pretty helpful sometimes

I don’t care either way, but too many premade meals I have bought in the past were gross and inedible to a point where I had to toss them and just make food from scratch. I just keep the supplies for a quick 1 pot Carbonara in my fridge at all times - it might not be super healthy, but it’s always a predictable taste/texture and only costs about 1,50€ per Portion

They definitely are!! And just watching them waddle around and do their little hamster duties is the cutest 🥹

My parents kept getting me hamsters when I was a kid, it’s crazy how high maintenance they are if you actually want to keep them in good conditions :(
(not like they cared that I kept them well or were willing to provide me with the resources to do so tho)

eat it anyway

eat the dirt eat the dirt eat the dirt

I also dont find these threads full of people saying negative things about piracy, but thats a matter of perspective.

In my experience, people who are annoyingly judgmental about Piracy irl are not the ones using Text-heavy social media.

yippii

Do NOT mention cheese graters,they will hear…
