isabella86@lemmy.mlto Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What are you saving money for right now?English1·2 days agoBeen saving for the wedding since the beginning of the year. It is going better than we thought, but at the same time, everything is so much more expensive than we imagined. But as for the saving itself, I’m positively surprised how small (and I mean really small) things add up. Okay, we are two people, and it’s been four months. Just, we got excited when we checked where we were yesterday, but almost immediately after that, we looked into some of the things from the wedding list, and now the amount we saved suddenly doesn’t seem that great. Anyway, I drifted. Saving for the wedding, and I choose to say it’s going well.

Honestly, what’s not expensive these days? I did some remodeling in my home, and boy oh boy did we go over the budget with things I considered cheap. I looked into different manufacturers and they all claim the same thing I found here, the materials, prices going up, and labor shortage… Not really sure what’s the difference, but one thing is for sure - I’m not rich enough to buy cheap things (and replace them all the time).
isabella86@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you gather enough socialise energy to social at your workplace?English4·4 months agoYou can’t force it. Just be you. It’s better to be comfortable with a few people you like and simply avoid draining your energy on others. Just be open to letting a few people in “your world” to test out your social battery and build tolerance.
isabella86@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How long have you been hearing the phrase "we're in the end times"?English2·5 months agoThis. Every word. I couldn’t agree more.
isabella86@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?English1·5 months agoWhoa, I need to recover from reading this. Where to even begin?? Asks for a phone number? Nonetheless, but a WhatsApp phone number? Hmm, a red flag, but it’s nothing compared with the rest of the post. A friend asked me maybe two weeks ago to help him make a QR code for a restaurant menu since I deal with them a lot for work (it’s actually not that difficult, see here). The generator I use is likely the safest in the market, with all bells and whistles, and I always tell anyone who asks - check the generator carefully before making a QR code, especially for business and especially if you plan to print it. Read the reviews. Look for security features. Plus, many advertise free codes, but it turns out - not really (people create, print, and then two weeks later - hello, pay a subscription if you want your code to work again). And I thought this was bad. But what I read now escapes reality. A big thanks to those who posted the archived copy, by the way.
It sort of depends on the topic. Some things I can do nothing about and I find them infuriating, perhaps to know nothing about. But generally speaking, I agree with the OP, not easy to find a reliable source of information despite the amount (or precisely because of the amount).
isabella86@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?English5·5 months agoOkay, I spilled my coffee. I’ll be giggling all day.
I hate how commercials always seem to interrupt right when things are getting good.
Either! Both! I could really eat any food I crave for any meal - a dessert for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, anything goes. But now that I think about it, desserts seem to appear VERY often as a meal substitute for me.
