RBWells, to asklemmy in What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

I do gardening (easier for me than most as a landowner, but there are also community gardens where I live), make my own bread, cooking, and yes, walking.

Birdwatching is good and doesn’t require buying much.

My kids lately have been into puzzles and karaoke.

There’s a lot of fitness stuff you can do without buying stuff. Yoga, bodyweight exercises, even the partner acrobatics are fun and certainly a challenge.

Sex, lol. Not a hobby per se, but so good for a relationship and a great activity to do together.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would

Keeping it clean, I think I’d want hotshot contact lenses, that could provide clear vision in all conditions plus when asked, project for me readable information as though there was a page in front of me. And modes like magnification.

If NSFW allowed, I can think of a few more that would be nice to have. But given the choice, still would prefer the super eyes.

RBWells, to asklemmy in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

Our trainer would 100% say that the trauma of seeing you knocked on your ass is making him feel like he has to protect you.

Disagree with “dominance” like some harsh insistence on it, but he needs to relax, and it’s impossible for him to do that if he feels he must protect you. He has to know you can protect him, and take care of him.

Can you get professional help? It really helped us. Getting the whole family on the same page and using the same training strategies will help so much. And don’t worry, behavior can be modified.

RBWells, to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

I don’t really mind, but don’t need the intimate details. People talking about it is better than having it be secret and shameful, and is something going on in the person’s life, but say what you need to and move on!

RBWells, (edited ) to asklemmy in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

Well I do speak some Spanish but Del Castillo Rios Misticos is such a banger whether you can understand it or not.

The song Inta Omri is gorgeous, look for the Um Kathoum version

RBWells, to asklemmy in Is there a word for the feeling of nostalgia for or missing of another lifetime one only lived in a dream?

Not a lifetime, but people. Sometimes the people in my dreams are so real it seems they must be people, separate from me. I am wake up and miss them. I don’t know that there is a separate word for that just wanted to say I have the same feelings sometimes.

RBWells, to lemmyshitpost in are you sure?

I am a lady and do care about fitness, not so much for looks but as a sign guys take reasonable care of their health. When younger, didn’t care much. But now I am older and guys who are inactive fall apart, and become a lot of work. I know that there’s no guarantee of health but much better odds of more healthy years if a guy takes care of his physical body.

RBWells, to asklemmy in Non-computer standing furniture

I stand and move around way more on my days off than on work days so unemployed, homemakers, and retirees are probably doing fine.

If you are asking how to get people to stand more in your house, bar height tables are good.

RBWells, to asklemmy in How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

Ah ok. I really loved the Google Play Music app, it was the best. Google could tell me who was playing nearby - and unlike Spotify, Google (because Google is creepy) knows what I actually consider nearby, and did not just show bands I listened to, but those I might also like, and was right about that way more often than not. It had better recommendations, YouTube music is still not as good as all, but everyone else on the plan does look at YouTube videos too, so we are getting plenty of utility out of it.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

I am sorry, that sounds dreadful. Always you have had hunger? Eating does not cause satiation? I also can feel empty without being hungry sometimes, it’s honestly a good feeling and best state to fall asleep.

Yes the tuned appetite should be universal.

In the interest of full disclosure - I did reach it coming out of anorexia so not overweight but underweight, but it has settled out to keep me at a healthy size as an adult. Except for a few very stressful years in my early 40s I lost some but bounced back. I think more people, at least in the US, are coming from the other side and I don’t have experience with that.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Easier to just make them a lot smaller. Other primates nurse without the extra fat in the boobs. But I like the idea of much more resilient skin, it should bounce back endlessly. No reason for it to get fragile or lose tone, sagging achieves no purpose. Can we fix acne and rosacea with this patch, too?

RBWells, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Huh. I am the exact opposite, for a small amount I usually don’t want to drag out the mixer, so put metal bowl, whisk, and carton of cream in the freezer for a few minutes then whip some cream. It is a workout but somehow seems easier than mixer. Almost always whip cream by hand.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Paneer I only like homemade, but it’s so easy I hesitate to call it cheese. Pressed curds. Halloumi I don’t like, and what’s funny is I was just thinking today that now that I like swiss I like every cheese in existence but forgot about Halloumi.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Even more so, bo kho.

I just want to express my appreciation for this phrase.

I also do agree that homemade broth is worth making, but it is more a byproduct of having made something else for me. And it’s not difficult just takes a long time. Chuck everything in the slow cooker overnight, in the morning there is stock. Then from the bones of that stock you can make the bone broth, again overnight will work.

RBWells, to asklemmy in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

I have that - Nixta? My sister outlaw gave it to us for Thanksgiving. It smells like caramel corn. I tried it with bourbon, Tuaca, and lemon but the corn flavor was lost in there.
