For me, bouldering has helped a lot. If you already have chronic pain definitely talk with a doctor or physical therapist first though. If you aren’t paying attention to your body it’s also very easy for climbing to fuck you up more. It’s a great combo of core and back strength though that can really help with a lot of things

Sweden, to go back to game dev school

If everything goes well some time around august give or take I’ll be leaving the US

I’m a slut for potatoes. If you don’t soak them in oil, butter, or cheese they’re about a kcal/gram. I like to nuke one and just add salt

I absolutely love watching people play Morrowind and sometimes the og XCOM. Only those games though not sure why

Okay so I wiped the .venv that VSCode made again and this time ran the venv creation using python3 -m venv venv. It’s working with command line now but not within VSCode (running into the same issue that I had before but in reverse, so VSCode isn’t recognizing pip or other installed modules like markdown that I added in command line).

This is starting to feel like maybe a difference in how VSCode handles the virtual environment vs the command line. When I create the venv in one it breaks the other

Edit: Yeah idk what VSCode is up to. I uninstalled, remade the venv with Konsole, and installed PyCharm instead. Commands through Konsole and the PyCharm terminal are all working as expected now.

Thank you for the help!

I’m using Konsole, seems to be the default terminal for me

Thank you for help with what commands to run to get more info. I’ve tried multiple virtual environments each of ones built on the command line and through VSCode and had the same results with each. The current one that I did the cat command on was built with VSCode.

Keeping in mind I’ve only visited 1-2 towns from each place

• Sweden, Stockholm and Visby: The language is gorgeous sounding I like listening to people talk. I like how everyone walks in the street. People are very nice. I had a sense of belonging like I had already been living there so that’s a good sign for moving.
• Estonia, Tallinn: Holy shit I got to walk on a real castle wall. There’s a meshing of modern and medieval architecture that works stunningly it’s so amazing. Rich history everywhere.
• Latvia, Riga: Grafitti game is on point. The art nouveau is incredible but I preferred the castles tbh. There is a very palpable tension between Latvian and Russian that put me on edge. Like if I said thank you in Latvian some people would get upset at me, but if I said thank you in Russian other people would correct me “this is LATVIA”. I bring this up as a favorite because it reminds me that visiting for a few days doesn’t mean I understand the area.
• Netherlands, Amsterdam and The Hague: To get off the plane and out of Amsterdam skipping it entirely was super easy. New Years in The Hague was unreal like nothing I’ve ever seen. Indonesian food is very good here too. Everyone here bikes, transit flows well, the trolleys are fun to watch. I question how many people fall into the river that has almost no guardrails anywhere.
• Sweden again, soon I’m flying north to play in the snow and work my way back to Stockholm. No reports yet but I love cold and snow so I suspect I’ll be happy there too.

I’m going to try and swing getting there on a student visa. I need to save enough to pay for housing and tuition, I’m guessing about $30k should get me there if I also find a part time job while at school. My Swedish is incredibly basic so far but I’m getting decent at reading. A lot of it is close enough to English I can kinda get the gist of text within known contexts. Listening to it though is still well beyond me, it sounds like actual elvish it’s wild to me. I want to learn it so much though I want to be able to speak such a pretty language

Oh that’s like my hometown in the spring. Slush season

Why is that the worst season?

Yeah this is me in about 10 days. Almost a month vacation to explore Sweden and the Baltic states. Going to get back to work and have like 5 months before I attempt to move to Sweden. I’m dreading being back at work for that time I really hope I can pull through and save up enough for the move while being burnt out

I’m in my thirties and just had the time of my life. I’m visiting The Hague and got to spend my night dodging mortars and watching actual explosions. 10/10 want to come here next year now too, probably with impact goggles though

2025 is going to be very difficult for me but it’s hopefully transitory into better stuff. My entire social circle collapsed this year so I’m taking the opportunity to move to Sweden and hopefully go back to school. Don’t have to worry so much about leaving my friends and loved ones behind if I don’t have very many left lol

How does cuddling keep them warm if they’re cold blooded?

Edit: Thank you all for the new knowledge I’m good on more comment notifications though lol

I think I’ve talked with my sibling twice in the last three years. They’ve gone off the deep end with right wing stuff and I just don’t have the capacity for it. It’s difficult to cut ties but sometimes it’s the way to go

My roommate and I used to date and I’m still in love with them. We’re making it work well but everything is messy

I went through a lot of therapy to get past my fear of telling people I love them and getting broken up with shortly after, the day I was going to tell my now roommate I love them they broke up with me out of nowhere. We didn’t even date that long and the breakup was nearly a year ago and it still hurts. I don’t have many regrets in life but not telling them sooner is one of them

I had lower surgery shortly after they broke up with me. I was so excited to have someone there for me emotionally and physically after surgery. Now I have nobody and I’m scared to have sex. I don’t know how to work past this and therapy hasn’t been helping

I just want to be able to connect with someone without the crushing weight of trust issues around every corner. I miss being with my roommate so much, one of the happiest and most exciting relationships I’ve ever had

What era or genre are you getting the pop culture from? Twinkies at least have only been a joke in media for at least 15 years because of zombie survival stuff, and longer as a ‘haha look at the fat kid’ before that. Die Hard uses them as a comedic element to break up parts of the film but in less of a joking about Twinkies directly way, though it is part of the overweight cop’s character. That movie is nearly 40 years old though and probably marks around the time Twinkies started shifting from a snack to a meme

Edit to add: They also originally had banana flavored filling. You can still find these sometimes and while not good they’re better than the plain ones imo

I suspect it isn’t a real statistic. If it is though I’m guessing things like safety shutoffs being in weird locations for lefties being a culprit

Just applied, looks fun!
