Just having to share a space for a third of your day (assuming full time employment) with someone you presumably already have something in common with can be a way of bonding, so I don’t necessarily think workplace romances are a bad idea. Nor do I think it’s wrong to approach or flirt with a colleague as long as you don’t cross boundaries and can take no for an answer. You should be mindful of how it will affect the dynamics of your relationship both at work and outside of it, whether the relationship is successful or not.

A personal warning from your boss is a good sign that you are making your colleagues uncomfortable and should re-evaluate what you’re doing.

Even those who use social media like to look through their galleries on their phones or online and reminisce from time to time. Those photos might seem mundane in the moment but they still become preserved memories of the past eventually. They don’t lose value to the people in them because photos became easier to take now.

I’m quite avoidant of the cloud myself, but I wouldn’t assume that no one saves things locally anymore. It’s also possible to have digital photos printed and put into a physical album.

Spending time with my favorite people, helping others, finishing goals I set for myself, being outdoors, and listening to music are the big ones.

Then there are smaller everyday things like autumn and winter weather, good food and beverages, good books and films, putting effort into looking nice, and so on.

How about you, OP?

• I don’t want to have to create an account for everything. Even when account creation was required in the past, it would be enough to have a username and password (sometimes email address). Now often times there are so many unnecessary mandatory fields.

• I like my devices and appliances to have one dedicated function and to do it well, without extra features, preferably available offline. Music is listened to on the mp3. The TV is only the display and never the content source.

• I still prefer in-person interactions, jobs, lessons, and shopping to online ones (but support having online options for those who prefer them).

If everyone was discouraged from writing because of the amount of existing reading material, we would never have anything new. That’s only putting unnecessary pressure on yourself if you are writing recreationally. Write what you like and adjust it for an audience later if you have to.

Write down any ideas or thoughts that come to you - they don’t have to be organized. Once enough of them are on paper, you’ll instinctively look for ways to connect or refine them. Ask for feedback, look for works in your preferred genres for inspiration.

For this example, I would loosely define an event or item as historical if it was characteristic to a recognizable time period that people can instantly associate it with, or if it evokes feelings of nostalgia.

You’re right, sorry about that. Since top-level domains are allowed, I have been able to find most books in various languages using resources provided either on https://fmhy.net/reading or on VK.

If you share the title and author, I can try searching for it.

Adding a few other alternatives not listed on the website: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Mailfence. There’s also StartMail if you don’t mind a paid option.
