Asking more generically for anything made of faux leather, not necessarily this item in particular, but I gotta admit this multitool is pretty handy at times and is part of my everyday carry.

I'm more asking, like how to best treat faux leather for longest lasting and best surface? Like, what happens if it gets wet? Is shoe polish or oils or something beneficial to keep the surface intact?

Do other countries in the world have the same experience?

I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn't have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock... the best I could get out might be, "Well, fuck."

How about you?

I miss a "just have a nice chatter about your daily personal life" community. What to ask?

I tell you about mine. I was at a meetup yesterday of the local CCC (chaos computer club) in vienna. it was 20 years of CCC vienna meetup. was fun, met a lot of cute people, was too shy to talk to any of them, now i'm here sitting in my room bored and wondering what to do.

Post here if you are, and your country and approximate location if you can.

Edit: I didn’t want to make the post subject pedantic and need a [serious] tag, lol.

E2: ok, looks like a local hiccup for that station. Kinda on edge, there are going to be shortages. Just don’t know when. Gas here is hitting $4/gal at some stations. Mostly close to $3.90 at the rest. We were paying $2.65 when this started.

Long story short I don't feel like I deserve romance in my life yet. I feel like I got nothing to offer. I have felt this way for most of my life. Even though I have developed plenty of hobbies (I dance, skateboard, climb, go to the gym, etc.) and social circles. On one hand I am happy with myself and on another I feel like I can't offer the other party anything, romance wise.

Normally others would say 'You'll find someone dont'cha worry 'bout notin' ya'hear?' But I am at a point now where I hope a woman will not develop feelings for me because I am afraid of disappointing her. And through the years this only been getting worse. I know this is not a good way of thinking but I just can't shake it.

I want to (mentally) change but I just don't know how. So if anyone has got some tips for me (really anything goes) that might help I would very much appreciate it.

Note: I don't care if the process of learning self love is slow, I just want to know what the process involves.

Edit: I am reading some great suggestions. So thank you all for that. Just as a reminder, I am not expecting people on the internet to fix my problems. Just some general, rule of thumb, tips (and or tricks).

Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

What I mean is, how do you deal with the logical conclusion that no one can ever truly be relied on and that you can always find yourself alone with no support?

Or do you disagree with this conclusion and think that some people can be relied on and that you can know that you won't end up alone?

And if you are alone, how do you deal with the inherent human yearn for others when you know that you can never truly rely on them?

Edit: To clarify, I am talking about personal relationships and not about professional or paid help.

Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.

People here will literally tell you "I don't want to hear about it" but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don't Look Up moment.

Since lawns are bad for the environment, what do you think lawns should be replaced with?

I might add some of the suggestions

It's been some time since I have been active on mainstream social media. Honestly I don't even post here or lurk here, but quality of discussions is better here than reddit so I do occasionally log in.

Why I am asking this question is, whenever I am traveling now a days, I am seeing lesser people scrolling instagram reels. Earlier it was 7 out of every 10 person, it's now becoming like 5 or 4. And on reddit it no longer feels like real people are talking there. Are you people observing the same too?

Yes it might not fit asklemmys guidelines, I just didn't know better place to ask it

In the next 3 months I am moving to the UK and have my two passports and I get to keep my job after the move as I work remote. Also not moving to London looking for homes in the north to be close to family.

It would seem a bird walked on the concrete while it was still wet. Wouldn't the concrete also have stuck to the bird's feet, hampering it?

Since 2016 was 10 years ago and this whole online throwback trend is going around, I felt like asking. In 2016, I finished 3rd grade and started 4th grade. Fast forward to now, I graduated high school last year, started a distance learning bachelor’s program, and I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my first child, due in July.

The attached video inspired me to make this post.

1. What was your first series or movie?

2. What were your first impressions?

3. Best series or movie? Why?

4. Worst experience with anime? Why?

I heard one of my siblings watching something in a language I didn't understand. It turned out to me Love Hina. It made me fall in love with the language and culture. My interest in the medium itself, I discovered later, perhaps with Pokémon and Dragon Ball. I don't remember my initial impressions, but it was warm and fun, I do remember. The immense sexualization of females was definitely encouraging to my adolescent cisman self, to the detriment of the female demographic, of course. Rose of Versailles is probably one of my favorite anime. Other than being an amazing story - considering that it was written by a TWENTY year young girl - the way that it conveys emotions visually and through the soundtrack is, to me, unparalleled. I don't really have any bad experience with anime. I guess I was shocked when
