I can’t blow my nose at all. Some weird mental block. I sniffle incessantly and drive everyone nuts instead.

RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If any of the languages you know is spoken in more than one region (ex: European vs Brazilian Portuguese), what version of the language do you speak?2·2 months agoI listened to a drunk Newfie (person from Newfoundland, Canada) give a speech once. I have no idea what he said. I heard they speak English there but I’m doubtful…
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If any of the languages you know is spoken in more than one region (ex: European vs Brazilian Portuguese), what version of the language do you speak?5·2 months agoI know European Portuguese and Canadian French, but I’m not good at either.
Edit: I just remembered this youtube channel called Wikitongues. You can hear people speaking in all kinds of different languages and dialects. It’s fascinating. I found a dialect of French that sounds like Portuguese and French combined.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?1·3 months agoI’m a farm labourer. I work outdoors doing a lot of heavy, physical labour, so no.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?1·3 months agoTech also just isn’t advancing and changing as much as it was when we were younger so it’s not as exciting anymore
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?3·3 months agoI stepped out of a van wrong and completely tore my acl and mcl and partially tore my lcl (basically, fucked up my knee).
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•if you have a multilingual family, do you speak all their languages or just one/some?19·3 months agoMy family is Portuguese and they did the whole “speak Portuguese when we don’t want the kids to know what we’re saying” thing, which didn’t work because kids learn languages really easily. Nobody taught me so I can’t speak it very well but I can translate into English, as long as whoever is speaking has the same accent as my family…
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was your biggest facepalm moment of 2024?6·3 months agoI knew America was going to do it and I was still so disappointed in them. Really wanted to be wrong.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How are people so chill about co-workers stealing food?37·6 months agoMy cop relative said everyone working in police stations keeps their stuff in lockers because cops constantly steal from each other. Not just food.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?1·6 months agoI think The Tragically Hip are mostly famous with Canadians? Did they have much international success?
Edit: I thought the question meant people around the world but I guess it could also mean just the people in your own country…
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?5·6 months agoThe smallest Canadian city that I’d think most people around the world might know about is Niagara Falls, although they might only know about the falls and not know that it’s also a city.
Edit: I thought the question meant people around the world but I guess it could also mean just the people in your own country…
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?1·6 months agoIs that like a new deviantart
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do the English pronounce the first name "St. John" as "sinjin" but they pronounce the last name "Saintclair" as "saint clair" (and not "sinclair")?6·6 months agoWeird. I never would have guessed anyone was named that.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do the English pronounce the first name "St. John" as "sinjin" but they pronounce the last name "Saintclair" as "saint clair" (and not "sinclair")?11·6 months agoWho has a first name of St John?
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you pick Florida or Hawaii for a beach vacation in Dec - Jan?2·6 months agoMy parents used to take us to Florida in January in the 90s. It was nice and not crowded, including Disney World. It’s probably not the same anymore though.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was something you learned too late in life?19·6 months agoHave you tried putting your toothbrush and toothpaste in the shower? I’ve struggled with brushing my whole life and this is the only thing I’ve ever tried that actually worked. I also put a brush and paste at every sink but the only time I can ever actually manage to brush is in the shower.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you secretly judge people for?3·6 months agoI don’t like them but they’re at least practical.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you secretly judge people for?584·6 months agoOwning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I’m not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you secretly judge people for?2·6 months agoIt’s the most disgusting smell. I’d rather stick my nose in a dirty diaper than stand next to someone smoking.
I don’t. I have five, all decently large. My tastes have changed since I got my first one ~15 years ago but I like to see it. I was 18 when I got it, so it’s been with me my entire adult life. It was the first thing I did after turning 18, and it reminds me of who I was as a kid and what was important to me. I’m a parent now and I like the reminder, since it’s so easy to forget what it was like being a kid. I spent months researching artists before getting it. My husband regrets his, though. He got his on a whim in high school at somebody’s apartment. They were not sober. It wasn’t done well and just doesn’t look good and he wants it covered up.
