I literally moved from a 38 degrees+ country to a negative temps country. So yeah. Negative temps. 100%.

U can wear warm clothes. There exist no “cold” clothes.

Sorry for your loss. So from what I understand, he was a good person, supported you and gave you practical knowledge.

Follow up question- were there any times where you felt unsafe in his company? Where you felt afraid that he might hurt you (not necessarily physically, but in other ways that would change your life for the worse)?

When you were around him, did you trust him to do the right thing in regards to your life? Could you be yourself around him, without worrying that you might offend him in some way or the other?

I think I’m repeating the same thing again and again - did you feel comfortable with him having control over your life (when you were a kid ofc, not an adult)? Were you not scared that he would hurt you? What did that trust feel like? Did you feel safe?

Hey, no, I don’t find it ironic or whatever. Ladybutterfly was trying to help, and that’s all that matters. They were kind, they cared and offered resources. That’s all that should matter.

Apologies mate didn’t click about it being men only, let me know if you want replies from women.

Oh noooooo your inputs are still very helpful, don’t worry. I still appreciate you replying haha.

I just had a slight preference for men and their dads because I figured I could relate to it better. I’ve seen dads generally being nice with their daughters, but absolute assholes to their sons (at least growing up in India). I figured that the perspectives would thus be different, that’s all.

I’m sorry you didnt get the dad all children deserve.

Thank you. At least the good part is that I don’t know how much I have missed (if I have at all). I’ve never really seen a “good dad” closely I suppose.

Have you found !dadforaminute@lemmy.world People post when they need dad style advice or a hug.

I have, but I think my childhood still haunts me here. My hatred for older men with authority prevents me from going even close to this, or even being remotely comfortable with the idea of a “dad”. It may be illogical or nonsensical, but hey… ig I need therapy for this lol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

For those who had good dads, what is it like? Is it like having a good mom but male? Can you share the problems in your life with them? Do you really love them? If they were to not exist now, would you miss them?

I’m asking the above to men here who had “good dads”.

Sorry for the weird questions above. I could never imagine myself loving an older, authoritative male figure in my life. I think it’s like a fully blind person not being able to imagine colors? I’m not sure.

Like… Do you feel comfortable around your dad? Does it not feel confining? Like there’s this void standing next to you, consuming all of the oxygen in the room?

For those with good dads, were they humble? Did they accept their mistakes? Did you feel comfortable going to them for support?

Vegetables 🍆

Oh hello again beautiful person whose cat PFP looks like a dick pic!!! <333

That’s R2D2

People smh. Who drinks bean juice and throws the beans away? You really are allergic to FIBER, aren’t you???

Real men don’t throw away the healthy coffee beans. We EAT THEM LIKE WE’RE SUPPOSED TO. It cures cancer.

Indian here.

• Public transit in India is shit. Absolutely pathetic. Avoid it. Only use Ola/Uber for travel.
• The Air quality in all cities is bad. You will have to wear an n95 mask at all times (when outside).
• If you’re a woman, don’t come alone. Always be in a group. Do not go out at night alone. Otherwise, your chances of being raped are pretty up there.
• If you’re white, you’ll be asked for pictures everywhere. You will be stared at. If you’re ok with that, then it’s cool. If you’re Asian, you’ll have to hear snide comments like, “ooo chinese”. You also may be asked for pictures. I don’t know what it’s like being a black tourist in India.

Places in India-

• South India is marginally better (cleaner, better people) than the North. The coastal cities are hot and humid though. The air quality is nicer.
• The Himalayan states are nice (Himachal Pradesh especially). Nice people there. Sikkim is nice too!
• UP is pathetic. Avoid Delhi, UP, Maharashtra and other central and northern states.
• North Eastern States are really nice as well. However, avoid going there right now due to the ongoing civil war. The people there are better though. They’re cleaner, have better civic sense, etc.

So here’s the point: Visit India only if you have visited other places in the world and are bored of them. If the above is true, then South East Asia is a much better place to visit (and cheap too).

If at all you HAVE to visit India, try sticking to the Himalayas or the South. Try coming with a group. Don’t try using Indian public transit. Stay in a good hotel where other foreigners stay.

And I think I don’t need to say this, but still- DON’T GO TO KASHMIR.

See, here’s how it is-

The movies suck ass. BUT the story still continues. And it continues in a way that I personally am liking so far. The new Ahsoka show, the mandalorian, etc. have worked out pretty fine. So I you want to be invested in the franchise (I would recommend this), then try watching the sequels.

The prequels for example imo sucked-ish too. It’s the surrounding story and shows that made them a lot cooler (the clone wars especially).

Haha yeah ofc ofc. It’s just uk… a fantasy…

Basically, I have a crush on this fellow from a comic I really like.

Might happen if you loosen the hair colour or tatoos criteria.

Really? I always figured that throuples were very rare (where all partners love each other equally without there being a “main couple” dynamic). Like… How do you even go around dating for a “throuple”?

Sigh… Another thing I really doubt I’ll ever get- a throuple of myself, a femboy and a tattooed anarchist punk with green hair, who’s just rlly cooooool.

🙄

Enemas suck. They ruin your gut microbiome and are just unnecessary.

Just clean your colon. Dicks aren’t 3 metres in length.

Oh hello again, cute cat profile picture that looks like a dick pic for a millisecond! Hope you are doing well! <3

Let’s assume that heating water to 500C does what you want it to do. Even then, the sheer amount of energy required to do this would be massive. It would just be incredibly uneconomical to do this, when other cheaper solutions (like not polluting in the first place) exist.

Nah they go, “Blimey, guvna! I’m freezin’ me bits off, innit? It’s bloomin’ chilly, ain’t it? I’m perished, mate! Me teeth are chatterin’ like a bunch of chimps, I am! Oi, pass me a cuppa, would ya? I need somethin’ to warm me cockles, mate! I need to have a nice cuppa rosie lee.”

What’s ❄️
