Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about.
1·4 months agoActually it’s fine. This was me until I finally met the person who I decided I felt comfortable being intimate with.
I was raised religious but by that time I wasn’t, but that shame and guilt are still legit.
Anyway, it’s been decades since and we’re still together. I have no regrets.

10·4 months agoDonating monthly. Thank you.
Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)
Show - Andor
Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.
I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.
Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.
Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.
So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.
Other books I can recommend:
The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)
Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy
Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there older people with ADHD still taking stimulants?
5·6 months agoYeah, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult and it never goes away (as in you’re never cured) so…I find it helps, at least at work. I try to take weekends off if I’m just chilling though.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite snack to take on road trips?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What architectural style would you like to see come back?
3·7 months agoBeaux-Arts, I just think it’s beautiful and intricate. I’m also a fan of Frutiger Aero and Googie mentioned already, which seems contradictory. Is there an architecture style that somehow combines Beaux-Arts with either one of those?
No. I just don’t. I don’t know why…I just have never wanted kids since as long as I can remember.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.
9·7 months agoI’m embarrassed to admit that this was me.
My mom had a thing about washing clothes - how they were washed, how they were dried (usually hung up to dry, often over random doorways around the house, never in the dryer) and starching and ironing. And sometimes the socks and underwear would be hung up, too. So if people came over we’d have to hurry up and put all that shit away first. (We didn’t have a dedicated laundry room)
When we went places she would critique other people’s clothes and note if they hadn’t been pressed correctly or something, “they didn’t even use starch on that shirt”, but also she also never showed me how to do it because she was so particular.
So I was already an adult the first time I used a washing machine and I still feel victorious every time I throw all that shit in the dryer.
…….aaaaaaaaaaaand it’s banned! /s (hopefully)
