How does her face look like 12 and 70 at the same time?! Oo

I guess that sounds like trust issues with some paranoid tendencies?

 

Hi peeps, My big trip through Canada is only three weeks away now and I'm starting to feel nervous 😬 So I thought I'd post here to ask y'all a few things, mainly about socialising and meeting folks. - specifics about my travels at the bottom

1.) I'm still looking for couch surfing hosts in Vancouver and Toronto. People on beWelcome aren't really answering. Is there some advice? Or advice on cheap accommodation for 1-3 nights in those towns? Or maybe even some of y'all who'd like to hosts me :)

2.) what are some good ways to meet people on the road? Are there social media apps that are favoured in Canada? Specific places for travellers? (YMCA, hostels, clubs...?)

3.) any other things you'd like to tell me? XD

My trip is: arriving in Vancouver on the 25th of Juli, renting a car on the next day. Plans to travel the west for about 3 weeks. Domestic flight to Toronto on the 16th of August, rental car in Toronto on the 17th, driving around Ontario and the east for two weeks. Departure from Toronto on the first of September.

Wait. Three soldiers is the biggest loss the Israeli army has had?! While they killed thousands of people?(Mostly children)? This is still a "both sides" thing for most fascists trying to defend Israel's government, right?!

It's seems that you surround yourself with bad people who bring you down and don't support you.

Maybe it's time for a new hobby or something with a different circle of people.

Whether you're using ChatGPT text or voice, asking it personal questions, or just brainstorming for work, it seems that the longer you use the chatbot, the more likely you are to become emotionally dependent upon it.

Elfenlied still haunts me. Not in the flashy body horror way, but in this psychological way. But I'm always susceptible when there's kids involved

Yes please make a rule against it. Ignore this dogwhistle BS in the other comment. AI content is actively destroying our human existence. I'd much prefer to have as many AI-free spaces as possible

This is among the best of the paintings I made. I was trying a wet-on-wet which isn't easy with acrylics, so I used a thin gesso ground to paint on.

 

Hey y'all. I'm honestly lost and feel super down.

  • Facts: CBF1000 sc58
  • Last thing I did was get my alternator and regulator repaired/changed. My alternator was burnt out. The mechanic said that it's am usual problem with this model and the regulator is the problem.
  • I had to learn to take it out and rebuild it myself. About a month ago, I finally put the alternator back in and my bike actually started! I was overjoyed.
  • Since a week now I'm trying to actually ride it again and it won't start. I recharged the battery (Li-ion). When I tried starting it, the battery kinda drained immediately. It just didn't start. Luckily, I have a second (gel) battery that was full. I put that in and my bike didn't even light up. The fuses all look fine to me. The cables should be correct (there aren't that many options).

I just don't even know where to start. Thanks for reading

I've started doing more watercolour paintings again at work (I work with kids at a school) and I really enjoy it. I think I started enjoying painting a lot more since I stopped trying to paint something specific and started to just see what happened and what I felt like. Today I wanted to experiment with crayons and watercolour. It worked out perfectly: the watercolours didn't run over the crayon lines and thus created this cool "rain" effect. Everything is done in watercolour, I just traced the buildings with a dark blue crayon before applying the runny paint for the rain

 

So I already posted here about my holidays https://lemmy.world/post/23417267

I was wondering what online platform you can recommend where I can connect more directly with Canadians, ask questions, look for recommendations, accomodation,... I'm still torn between buying and renting a car. And there's the whole idea of seeing BC area and Ontario. Any tips concerning inland flights? Or greyhounds? Rail? Do you think that there might be people who want their car to be taken from one Vancouver to Toronto and would rent it to me? Should I post that on Craigslist?

You see I have many questions. (Yes, I'm autistic) It's gonna be a once-in-a-lifetime journey, so I want to be prepared.

Hi Canadians, I am giving up on web search and rely again on actual people.

I want to go to Canada in Summer for about 5-6 weeks. I already asked a travel agency for a quote for renting a RV, but thats STUPID expensive. I used to go couchsurfing. the website is no more (i think), i am registered on BeWelcome now but haven't looked into it.

What's the best ways for someone with little money to still travel most of the country? renting a car there? buying one and selling it later? RVs? couchsurfing (and how)? hostels? camping?

I am grateful for all hints and tipps and connections :)

edit after some comments: I'm from Germany. My budget is not high. I think I can maybe push it to 4000$, but that'd be pretty high for me.

Hallo. Ich hoffe dass es erwünscht ist, hier einfach mal eine lockere Unterhaltung anzuzetteln

Ich merke immer wieder dass die Traditionen und Gewohnheiten sehr unterschiedlich sein können. Zu dieser Jahreszeit sind es bei mir die Lieder, die sich stark unterscheiden. Lieder, die ich schon viele Jahre singe, die andere Menschen noch nie gehört haben und umgekehrt.

Also mal die Frage: welche Lieder singt ihr in der Winter- und Weihnachtszeit?

Meine Lieblingslieder:

  • Maria durch ein Dornwald ging
  • Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
  • Es kommt ein Schiff geladen
  • Oh come oh come Emmanuel
  • Macht hoch die Tür
  • Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her
  • Señora Donna Maria
 

This image shows how my search window looks. i'm using firefox as a browser. I already disabled all the ad blocks and paused ghostery but it still looks like this. the problem is, that I cannot click images or the other tabs because the search bar is above it and doesn't go away. I can't find anything in the settings and i couldn't find a similar topic on the Brave support page. anything i'm missing?

 

Ich bin gerade ziemlich verzweifelt von meiner Ärztin wieder gekommen. Kinecteen ist seit über einem Jahr nicht lieferbar. Ich habe bisher von der Apotheke etwas anderes bekommen. Aber das ist jetzt auch nicht mehr lieferbar. Die Apotheke hat mir zwei weitere Medikamente aufgeschrieben die analog sind, aber die EINE Tablette mehr haben als mein Rezept. Also zurück zur Ärztin um ein Rezept für 30 statt 29 Tabletten zu bekommen. Das gibt es nicht. Das darf sie mir auch nicht ausstellen. Es gibt die Medikamente also. Sie sind identisch mit denen die ich brauche. Aber die sind nicht für Erwachsene zugelassen. Nur für Kinder. Warum auch immer (Kapitalismus im Gesundheitswesen ist immer eine gute Idee /s) Das trifft mich gerade sehr. Sie hat mir wieder Medikinet aufgeschrieben. Das habe ich aber nicht gut vertragen und es tut nicht das was ich brauche.

Hat irgendwer irgendeinen Trost für mich? Ich habe jetzt Emails an zwei Firmen geschrieben mit der Frage warum die Medikamente nicht zugelassen sind. Davon erwarte ich mir genau gar nichts.

 

Habt ihr Aktionen gesehen? Plant ihr selbst welche?
