This is a random message about 1984, feel free to ignore.

Why does it feel like day by day we slowly are becoming the world George Orwell invisioned?

There must be something about that. I’ll name it “The Orwell Phenomenon”

I myself can be quite extraverted in public sometimes, I don't have issues with talking to random people, I can freely engage with folks on random events, but I don't have an army of friends and don't let strangers to cross the line of my boundaries. With my private life I can be somewhat introverted, I enjoy my alone-time a lot, and I try to find balance between extraversion and introversion that are equally strong in me.

So, sometimes random people from the outer world confuse my limited extraversion with my desire to make friends with them or they think they can talk to me/joke about something inappropriate like if we were close friends already and this can be stressful if you can't say "who are you again? get off" (happily I can). And sometimes random people who witness my bad/introverted mood tell me I should be more open, more talkative and more positive and this is when "get off" tool can be useful again. Moral of the story: in most cases it's not up to the other people to define who you are and who have to be.

I met quite many people who suffer under similar pressure of the world expecting them to be more social, more talkative etc etc but this is not who they are and it's important to be reminded time by time that you live your own life for yourself, not for the others. If you don't disturb the others directly then everything is fine the way you feel it fine.

Wise words, Einswenn. I remember a student, who was extremely antisocial. He ran away from anybody who was not a teacher in the playground. And spent his lunches sulking in a corner. One day I decided to approach him. I struck up a conversation about random things, you know, what’s your favourite subject, what’re you going to be when you’re older. Eventually he opened up. He told me that after school he would be viciously bullied and his mother really didn’t care. His dad had lost a legal battle for custody of him. I felt sorry for him, so I told my superior and the situation was dealt with. We still talk from time to time.

Wow, I’ve just realised I’ve gone on a completely unrelated tangent.

Your new flag is very good!

Probably cereal, or something else like eggs. That is if I'm not lazy enough to not cook them. XD

I'm very lazy when it comes to cooking 😔 I need to live with a fan of it so they could cover this issue

I get what you're saying. I also try to help in such situations if I see [or just hope] that I won't make it even worse. A lot of people (especially the younger ones) who are not commonly-social have impressively rich inner world and imagination, once they open up you get amazed how cool and authentic they are

Just get an airfryer. makes life so much easier (+it's healthier than a regular fryer, because it doesn't use oil, but air)

And if it's something like chicken it makes it more crunchy

A question for all:

When you boil water in a kettle to make some tea, what water do you use: tap water, bottled one, or maybe you have your own well?

What kind of sorcery that is :O I've never heard of it for some reason or haven't paid attention yet because google search showed lots of local stores' offers

Search it up. Maybe it is in stock nearby
