That is the example that OP referred to in their question

Go for daily walks in nature.

Do yoga

Play a recreational sport that interests you

Read (I guess that’s still consumption)

Write

Volunteer for a cause you care about

This is pretty niche, but I’m in a casual curling league and nearly everyone is over 40. Everyone there is super welcoming and friendly.

Asking where you are from is pretty normal conversation, especially if you have a noticeable accent. Asking where your parents/grandparents/etc are from is less common. Are you by chance not-white? Sometimes these sorts of questions have a race element to them

New one dropped in September. Get it if you’re able

Not unless I’m intentionally thinking about them.

However, I do have some difficulty differentiating between memories and dreams that I recall from my early childhood.

Here are three examples of memories I have from a very young age. One is confirmed real by my parents. One as far as I can tell is physically impossible so must be a dream. And the third I have no clue if it is real or a dream.

1. Shortly before my 3rd birthday, we moved. I remember getting bored while the moving truck was at our house so I rode my tricycle to the next door neighbors and hung out with the old lady and her dog until my mom realized I was missing and yelled at me for wandering off without telling her. (This one really happened)

2. We were at the mall to meet my dad for lunch at the food court. As we got onto the escalator, I remembered I was able to fly and flew through the mall (it was similar to swimming but in air instead of water). (Obviously this had to have been a dream but it feels just as real of a memory as the first one).

3. As long as I can remember, when we drove anywhere as a family, my spot was behind the driver’s seat and my sister’s spot was behind the passenger seat. I have a vivid memory/dream of it being reversed but my sister saying we should switch spots. My mom said ok and we switched to the standard positions. Nobody remembers this so it may have been a dream (and I would’ve been extremely young if it was real).

We took the dogs to run around at a park before the festivities. We were definitely the only people there.

if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures

This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).

I don’t have a culture

This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).

What do you think the term Latino means, and why don’t you want to identify as one?

FYI Central America is also in North America

If you don’t know much about investments, there should be a target date fund that is a mix of stocks and bonds. Pick the date that is closest to your expected retirement date (eg if you’re 25 and aiming for retirement at 65 you’ll pick the 2065 fund), and invest in that one.

A good thing to ask about is the expense ratio. This is how much the fund will cost you in fees, and can seriously impact your returns. If the fees are 1% or higher then seriously reconsider that fund.

John Oliver did a piece on 401ks a while back that was very informative.

It’s ok. English is my first language and I don’t understand what OP means by “cold camera shoe.”

Ikea sells cloudberry jam, or at least they used to a few years ago when we impulse bought it.

This reminded me of my first year at uni when a guy decided to speak in a fake British accent, I guess to sound cooler. Unfortunately for him, we could all tell it was fake and that made him decidedly uncool (and the butt of a lot of jokes). I think he gave it up after a couple of weeks.

The fact is, the coolest thing you can do is be confident in yourself (including how you sound when speaking naturally).

I can see all posts and comments when I go to my profile, in order from most recent to oldest. There is an option to select just posts or just comments as well.

TIL Henry Kissinger was still alive. I would’ve guessed he’d died in the 90s.

Chicago Tylenol murders

Lol, like that would stop the spam.

I’ve found whenever you get a new number, it was probably abandoned by someone with credit issues and/or stalkers.

I think the only thing you can do is put your phone on silent for everything except whitelisted numbers and have it go directly to voicemail for everyone else.

I had a professor in college who intentionally got infected by a bot fly to see what it was like. That’s dedication.

Lasik. Being able to wake up in the morning and just see things with zero effort was life changing.
