It is fiddle as in a violin type instrument. The sheer absurdity makes me not be able to take this insult seriously at all. I don't get how anyone does, but it's apparently a really shitty thing to say to someone. You ass violin!!! lmfao

I recently learned "Arschgeige" in German, which according to the reactions of people I asked, is a pretty mean thing to say. I can't get over the fact it literally means butt violin though.

Hey, another fellow lolita!! I'm sorry to hear your local comms are so toxic. I live in Germany and I'm lucky that the comm local to me is incredibly welcoming and fun.

I'm plus size, but wear almost exclusively brand, so I have some experience with alterations too. I highly recommend checking if your pieces have pockets, because I've been able to extend the sizing of a dress by 10 to 15 cm using pocket fabric alone. I'm happy to answer questions if you're interested in alterations.

I can only speak from my personal experience, but the online communities I'm a part of on discord are really friendly too. I'm on the plus size lolita discord, but that obviously might not be relevant to you. If you're interested in finding a community, you might have to dig a little but there are friendly communities out there. But it's completely valid if you'd rather just wear lolita by yourself. They are just clothes at the end of the day.

Sending positive vibes your way 💙 (I'm just up so I'm sorry if my thoughts are kinda scattered lol)

It's definitely of one of my cats

Yes it is. He's a good boy and we recently moved house. He's super clingy and anxious at the minute, the poor baby.

I never said I had a total of 4 years experience, only that I had 4 years of JS experience.

But yes, I will work on honing my hatred. I hope to one day gain a seat at the JSith council and achieve the rank of master.

Definitely 2023 years worth of experience. I taught Jesus himself JS. Which, fun fact, doesn't stand for JavaScript, but stands for JesusScript. I would never lie on the internet.

(4ish years lmao)

Ok, admittedly I was using typescript but honestly, I really enjoyed using JavaScript. I kinda feel like people who shit on it have never used it much, or aren't very experienced, or it just wasn't to their taste and they're jumping on the hate train that the others like to conduct.

(I also understand this is a joke dw)

There is definitely nothing wrong with you. There's a reason the phrase "childlike wonder" exists. It's normal for the newness and novelty of everything to amaze a child, and it's normal for experiences to become routine to adults. Even if you do experience something new, there's a very good chance that it's similar enough to something you've experienced before. Brains are designed to find patterns and relate things back to past experiences as part of a survival instinct.

But there is also nothing wrong with people who don't have the experience I described above. The above experience is probably more common for people with neurotypical brains. I've never been able to relate to "not feeling" or "feeling less", even though it seems to be quite common. My feelings are always a live wire, dialed up to 100 (and honestly, I'm over people - including doctors - telling me how nice that must be). But there's nothing "wrong" with my brain. It just functions differently, with different strengths and weaknesses. It's like comparing a car and a motorbike. They have different driving sensations, require different skill sets and safety precautions, but they're both vehicles that will get you from A to B.

I really appreciate the explanation! I've learned a lot from you and the others, and I have some ideas for things I want to try for the next time (which is probably very soon, since it's almost lunch time lol)

I actually bought some mushroom sauce a couple of days ago, and I'm looking forward to giving that a go. I only recently discovered this amazing Asian supermarket near where I live (in Germany) and it has been so fun learning to use things I didn't know I had such easy access to before!

The hero we need, but don't deserve 😔

• meine Mutter, wahrscheinlich

That makes sense, thank you! I will try experimenting with salt later :)
