      Hey me too! I had friends and family asking me how I got through the days and now we all read a lot and have many plants.

    I can cut my own hair now, it’s great. Not only the money, but the convenience of getting a touch up whenever I want is great.

    I learned to stop caring so much about work. I slam my laptop shut with a vengeance at 5PM, earlier if I feel like I can get away with it.

        Mostly from Reddit unfortunately. I actually miss those communities. Uncle Ben’s tech is the method I started with. You might find some YouTube videos with that search, but I’m almost positive there is still the uncle Ben’s subreddit. You also need to find a spore supplier, of course I found mine through Reddit.

          Thanks. That’s what I’ve been finding as well. Unfortunate, such a wealth of community-built knowledge and they had to go and ruin reddit.

          I had a nightmare last night that Wikipedia started to enshittify. I woke up and donated $. I desperately don’t want them to follow down the drain chasing reddit and YT.

    Learned how to become a “home barista”. Instead of popping a pod in my Nespresso machine I grind my own beans and brew my own coffee fresh, every morning.

    I learned to repair a carburator for a vintage motorcycle with my dad. I bought the bike with the carburator in a box for $300. I probably put around $500 more into it of which new tires cost around $200.

    That was more than 3 years ago and still ride it today. I’ve done done some maintenance work myself, like changing the oil, brake pads and fluid, and other minor things.

        It was a joke about dystopic pandemic days, and thank you for your reasonable concern. We have this worked out.

          Cool, ok, good to hear. Lol sorry, I appreciate dark humor, but have also watched a lot of alcoholics fuck their life up and cause a lot of family problems.

            Drinking is definitely fucked up. I’ve had problems with that personally, friends and family sure have had their own plus with me. Once it’s really going it’s difficult to do basically anything productive at all.

    Made some progress towards Spanish fluency. Still not fully fluent, but went up a CEFR level.

    Ive learned: Lockdown is mainly good

    -no mandatory work from office days

    -i can go motorbiking on country curvy roads, without much traffic, and feel like im on a trackday

    -low traffic calm streets

    -sadly plaza people dont watch tv, but they go for a short walk to the hiking places, with their 5t SUVs to take a selfie to upload on facebook.

    -our government (hungary) of course does not helps small businesses while hard times, but giving even more money to the dictator’s (orban’s) strawman (lőrinc mészáros), and spending billions on useless anti-snoring devices anti-snoring devices, and very expensive, but shitty and useless chinese covid vaccines.

      The lockdown really gave us a look of how if we collectively tried to not ruin the planet, how much more fun it would be, it was so nice not to have a clogged nose every morning…
