I don't think that's relatively minor to most

Public transport would count for USians, maybe cheap flights for Asians

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Pleeeeeeaaasse. It's just one tiny little private jet and maybe one little tiny pilot to fly me. I hate traveling by air so much. What could be less minor? I think you should reconsider.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

you can get private flights to anywhere legal for about 40k dollars

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Almost worth it. I spent 20 hours getting home (Florida) from Canada, 36 hours getting home from Tennessee and 15 hours getting home from Colorado. I'm finding more and more that the airlines have little value-add and that doesn't even include the nightmare that is the TSA .

People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren't willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Nah, because it's communism /s

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.

The sad reality is that I'm going to be fine. I'm going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I've been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven't been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the "wrong" race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.

The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

Legs. I'm a double amputee, and I miss them.

[–] primemagnus@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I would say that’s not really minor

Being alone.

Everyone’s talking about a loneliness epidemic and I’m here wishing I had fewer people around me.

Most of them I love, for sure, but the freedom and relaxation of not having anyone around is addicting and I haven’t had a good hit since 2020

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

You trade me some of your friends and I'll give you some of my alone time, dealio?

A brain that can produce a stable level of serotonin and not go haywire all because the seasons changed.

That and being neurotypical, my life would be much easier if I didn't have ADHD

The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.

Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing

No allergies. Im allergic to dairy, eggs and most nuts. I'm not lactose intolerant, which I wish I had, because then I could be in the bathroom for a few hours instead of a hospital for a few days. So many things have milk in them, and the few things that don't put eggs in them too. I can't eat out.

[–] Waldelfe@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

I feel you. I'm allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wish I didn't have this giant penis.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Well spit it out

Executive function.

An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they've discussed things with another person.

I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.

Being able to eat gluten. So many things have wheat and thus gluten. Soy sauce? Check. Dumpling wrappers basically everywhere in Japan? Check (more flexible and easier to work that pure rice flour). Tons of sauces? Check. Salad dressings? Check (sometimes via soy sauce in Japan).
