  • Yesterday I had to finish my work at 6 to attend a 3 hours language class at 7 and I was dissociating so hard that when I left I had to come back to work to grab something I forgot, then I freaked out thinking I lost a key to my office (they were in the other pocket). Then halfway to the language school I realized that I lost my coat somewhere along the way. Then I managed to get lost somehow on my way to the language school. After the class I got lost twice when I was exiting the fckin building! I was like “get yourself together FFS!” lol Feel so stupid even now while I’m writing this.



  • Mostly it’s different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I’ve never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).

    I kinda have a few moods. For the “fun and energetic” mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the “my job is f*cking me and I don’t like it” I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the “fancy” I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy (“I can’t decide”, “Don’t fear the Reaper”, “To The Sea”) and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)




  • Yeah writing down my dreams is hard for me too especially when you just woke up in the middle of the night. But i found that it helps if you don’t write it down in every last detail. I only jot down a few keywords when I wake up and that usually works, then I can flesh it out it later in the same day when I have time. Takes less effort. If you don’t remember - guess, that’s a good exercise too! Don’t do it tomorrow though, never works :'D Also it can help if you’re forced out of the bed somehow for a couple of mins (drank too much water and have to go to the bathroom, for example), then just take your journal/phone with you. It also helps with WBTB (wake back to bed) by the way.

    I don’t know is links are allowed but here’s the forum with fun dream tasks I mentioned: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-month-year/

    I don’t read a lot of forums but this one motivates me because users create this witty unexpected tasks I could never think of myself. And you get to feel accomplished when you finish them XD



  • Really like most of the hobbies from comments, you guys are interesting!

    Mine are (I’m not sure if they are niche but):

    Fountain pens. Writing with them feels very nice and smooth and it’s a little piece of “retro” even though I don’t have time for any other kind of “retro”

    Lucid dreaming. It’s an exercise of control over your dreams and a chance of doing something you like when you sleep. Or experience something new. There are forums with quests like “go to an art gallery in a dream and explore what your brain can give you as a painting” or “build yourself a dream homebase with all your favorite pieces of dreams from childhood” or “jump into a chalk painting and describe your experience”


  • Obsidian. Very simple, all functionality is free, offline, all notes are accessible on your PC, you don’t even need Obsidian to open them because they are in Markdown. Has tons of community plugins for every need, even a Notion-like tables plugin. There is an android app which looks fine but I don’t use it much so I can’t say anything about it. But since all your notes are offline you have to think of ways to sync them. There is a paid Obsidian sync which you dont have to use or you can sync with any other method (manually, github, syncthing, etc…)

    Edit: Oops, just realized the post is in FOSS community and Obsidian doesn’t seem to be open source. Sorry! I’m not going to delete the comment though, maybe it’ll help someone
