Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.
Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we’ll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it’s own, even more so when I’ll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.
Long term: our wedding next year! There’s still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It’s all very exciting!!

ieatmeat@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you deal with right wing parents?2·4 months agoAlthough I don’t live with them, the topic comes up every time I am on the phone with my father. He keeps yapping and yapping about how great the motherland is, until I snap. It seems it’s all he ever wants to talk about - Putin this, Ukraine that.
Thank you for your advice, I’ll try setting up some boundaries next time he calls.

ieatmeat@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you deal with right wing parents?3·4 months agoThank you for your advice. Unfortunately though, I don’t live with my parents anymore. They seem to consume information mostly through telegram, news articles and Russian television. I wouldn’t know how to shield them from those influences, I don’t have access to all their accounts or devices.

Ironically, my mom’s husband is from Odessa, Ukraine, yet he still sides with Russia. They’re small business owners and would likely profit from AFDs tax reforms. Their clients are also mostly “Russland-deutsche” and apparently most of them are also AFD voters. No wonder they were influenced towards this direction. Hard to tell if they have spoken to Ukrainian refugees, doesn’t seem too unlikely given their clientele.
I think your tip with money is right on the nose. I would also describe my family as opportunistic, now that you mention it, it sounds like a fairly accurate description.
They don’t seem fearful at all to me. My father for one thing believes Russia is the land of the free, where the government protects its citizens from evil NATO. I asked him what he thought about all those opposition journalists who disappeared or got jailed, or what about the laws forbidding to criticize the government on social media. His response was “nobody got jailed! It’s all fake news! My colleague criticizes Putin all the time and nothing happened to him! It’s those foreign agents and business crooks who got jailed, and rightfully so!”
It’s very frustrating, I feel you bro.
Do you happen to have any resources on how to counter pro afd/ pro Putin arguments? I remember seeing a YouTube channel debunking Putins propaganda in Russian, but I don’t know what they were called.
Elden Ring.
Got stuck on the first “real boss” because I don’t have time to practice and playing for 1-2 hours on weekends doesn’t get me anywhere. I guess I’ll wait till the holidays where I can take two weeks off and grind my way through the boss then.

ieatmeat@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?2·10 months agoOh yes, I usually end up saying “I work in insurance” because any more specific than that and people look at me with question marks in their faces
ieatmeat@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movie did you watch as I kid which you shouldn't have?111·10 months agoStarship trooper when I was still in kindergarten. The only thing I remember from this movie is the scene where the bug drills a hole in the soldiers head to drink his brain. Don’t plan to watch this movie ever again in my life

Also robo cop. All I can remember is him (only head and torso) being hooked up to cables and medical computers and one of the scientists says “what a weird kind of pain he’s having” or something like that
ieatmeat@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?7·1 year agoOmg YES. I am so tired of seeing bad news all the time, all it does is ruin your day. I come to Lemmy to unwind and escape reality, to look at some funny memes and forget my life for a bit, not to be constantly reminded of all the horrible things happening in the world.
Well not entirely true. We pay 9~10% out of our gross salary for this service
