This is one of those posts that really puts things in perspective for me.
my family will only remember the boring, inoffensive outer shell that I presented
I doubt it, even though i don’t know you, I’ll remember this post for a long time. I don’t know what else to say but thank you for sharing your story.
Never heard of deepL. I just found reverso after duolingo started feeling like a chore. I tried looking for a new app to learn languages and reverso really pulled through, it actually just gives me common phrases i’m interested in. I’m finding it easier to learn the things i’m looking for.
Edit: after looking into it i might have to give deepL a shot aswell.
I’m just here to plug https://www.reverso.net It’s a really great language learning app powered by (just trust me bro) A.I. It’s an amazing app really and it sold me on what A.I. can do.
Stop telling people to use adblockers ffs… Obviously most ppl on lemmy are smart enough to know about addblockers but the only way we get to keep using them is if enough “normies” watch adds. Stop educating people about addblockers for the love of god.
You would need to know the recipe to avoid making it by accident.

SLAVA UKRAINI! HERÓYAM SLÁVA!
I hate to break it to you but you’re dilusional, you have no idea how much most of the EU despises the UK and your arrogance is only adding fuel to the fire.
They’re still a member of the five eyes… Traitors…
You don’t understand, we are sympathetic but the lead up to brexit did have a part in tanking the economy… Aside from inflation, Covid, etc… You guys need to get your shit together before we can move on. It will take time and make no mistake, You will never again regain the priviliged position you had before. It absolutely sucks for the remainers but thats how it is.
I would also like to believe most human beings are good people.
In less than ten years this will be a “nottheonion” headline…
Why can’t an elephant ride a bike?

It’s a dad joke… I thought it was hilarious when i was a little kid which is why it stuck with me, i don’t have many good memories of my dad…
I used to just scream NO! and give them a “gentle” push so they would lose their balance. Never hurt them but make them understand. It’s easier with puppies but a grown dog will try to test you more and in the worst case scenario might even retalliate… If that happens you will need to “fight” them. Get them on their back and hold them there until they calm down. Without actually hurting them ofcourse. You just need to overpower them, show them who’s boss.
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU ENCOURAGE GOOD BEHAVIOUR ALSO.
It’s not about punishing, ideally you need about 90% positive reinforcement and 10% negative. (i made up the numbers but you get what i’m saying) You need the positive reinforcement so they will respect you when you get angry. If you do it right the only thing you’ll need to do eventually is scream NO!! and they’ll respect you and try to figure out why they made you angry and try learn from it on their own because they will make it their goal to please you.
I hope this made sense.
I would certainly have alot of fun, but i wouldn’t feel comfortable in hurting others, with or without their knowledge. But that’s just me…
