Almonds@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?7·3 days agoMy boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she’s scared.
So, I’ll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol
He can’t remember her name unless someone else says it first

Almonds@mander.xyztoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish14·23 hours agoYeah, I understand why employers use it. Oddly, I used to work for Microsoft and can’t remember using OneDrive for our projects lol
But as a student I really prefer saving stuff locally and to a separate storage device. The university system has been hacked at least once since I’ve been a student, we all lost our credentials and were required to physically go to the campus to reset them. The university also revokes access three years after graduation.
Almonds@mander.xyztoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish561·4 days agoI’m in university (as an old) and just about everyone from faculty to staff has been pushing me to put everything in OneDrive. I know better, but young people tend to trust that an educational institution is looking out for them.
My freshman year I met teenagers who didn’t know what a flash drive is. Most of them have iPads with no storage, one of my classmates was just uploading all her lectures directly to YouTube so she could review them later.
Sandwich in a bottle, yeh

Almonds@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship?3·11 days agoMy view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you’re stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an “I love you” kiss (romantic) and the other is “let’s fuck now” (sexual).
Almonds@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship?9·11 days agoI’m ace. Kissing and some cuddling makes me very uncomfortable, because it often leads to sex. There have been times that I thought I was sharing a sweet kiss with someone and suddenly they’re trying to slide hands under my clothes. So in my mind that was a romantic kiss, but to the other person it was sexual. This is why it’s so important for people like me to fully discuss things before we start dating someone.
There are different types of ace, you’ll see some aces say they are sex-favorable. That means they don’t feel sexually attracted to anyone, but they will engage in sex. On the opposite side of the spectrum is sex-repulsed. That’s me, I feel absolutely disgusted by sex.
Almonds@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speedsEnglish8·13 days agoAvg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn’t it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that’s 100mb/s at most
What’s the source for this?
I don’t really like yoga, personally. I do love stretching, and have some favorites that I’ll do throughout a day. But sitting in a stretch and being “mindful” just irritates my mind, in the same way that meditation does. I have hEDS so stretching is more for keeping my muscles limber, and to get some blood flowing, than it is for my ligaments or joints anyway
My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes
