Eh I feel like a lot of social media or just apps in general are like that... Not to say that's okay but it is what it is. I think it's like even if you disagree with something in the terms and conditions of a product, you still sign it because you want it and will just have to deal with it lol |

Idk if anyone has seen Dark on Netflix but I would recommend it. It is in German but the English dub is not terrible. Absolutely mind blowing show. And it's like nearly perfect. Most shows don't even come close to achieving this level of perfect. It wasn't rushed and got a satisfying ending. And the whole thing was a product of a lot of creativity and thoroughly planned out intricate plot structures. Given the numerous twists it has, I thought it would be riddled with plot holes but it actually ties up nearly all of its loose ends well.
TV and even movie writers should take notes from this imo like this level of forethought and planning makes for really strong writing.

I am in the train now for the first time in nearly 4 months. Also using a facemask for the first time (as it's mandatory here). Officially public transport is completely opening up tomorrow, so today they are still at 1/3rd capacity, which is pretty chill. Still... masks are warm... sure hope I don't have to wear one for 3 hours a day when September comes around...

Wait, what is your native language? One of the many Indian languages Oh that's pretty cool. Must be interesting knowing two completely different languages. I just know Germanic ones... |

The death toll and infection rate is dropping lower and lower now. The only new snag has been a local lockdown in Leicester, but that's been one of the places where infections haven't lowered much since this started. |

Still... masks are warm... sure hope I don't have to wear one for 3 hours a day when September comes around... I wear a mask whenever going to a public place. It's hella annoying because they always fog up my glasses even with the nose clamp thing. And apparently my school is requiring mask usage next semester. Man it's gonna be lame af lol One of the many Indian languages Oh that's pretty cool. Must be interesting knowing two completely different languages. I just know Germanic ones... Are Germanic languages the ones that are similar like English, French, Spanish, etc.? Maybe I'm thinking of something else... But yeah I think trying to learn Asian or some Eastern languages would be pretty hard for people who only know English and stuff because it's not similar at all. Even more with a completely different alphabet. I'm actually illiterate in my language lol. My parents tried to teach me when I was young but it never really stuck and I didn't bother later. I don't think it's very useful tbh and I'm pretty sure my language is not even the most common one in India |

I don't think it's very useful tbh and I'm pretty sure my language is not even the most common one in India Yeah, that's why I didn't wear glasses in the train. I don't really need them there anyway. Luckily my university sent an email yesterday stating all classes until January can be finished online in their entirety. Though you are allowed to come to the university buildings if you want. So basically, they won't see me there until February at the earliest. Germanic languages are the language family that originate from the Germanic tribes in Northern Europe. They all have similar grammar and words that are more easily recognizable for other Germanic speakers. Spanish and French are not in that language family, they have their own (Romance languages), but they are still related in the language family tree (I had lectures on this). English, German and Dutch are the most spoken Germanic languages, which are also the only languages I can speak. Funnily enough, Indian languages are generally closer to Germanic languages than a language Finnish would be though because they share the same ancient roots. |

So I have been having lots of issues/pain in the entirety of the lower half of my body over the last year. My GP wouldn't take it seriously and kept sending me home and once just gave me random diagnosis which didn't make sense at all. So I eventually I asked to see the other GP in the same building and she instantly sent me to the urologist. I had a visit there today. They tested my bladder function, among other things and it turns out I do have very noticeable verifiable issues. But the same tests also failed to show any causes. The urologist thought there was one cause (like a weakened muscle) that could explain all my issues, but to verify it they had to get a camera inside my bladder (which was uncomfortable as fuck). But that didn't produce any results either. Basically, everything looks normal. The urologists seemed perplexed and had no real ideas what it could be...
Now I have to see a neurologist next week... because I could have nerve problems. But that is kind of scary because those can be caused by very serious conditions. So I am not sure what to hope for. If they find something it could be very bad... and if they don't I may have these issues forever. This is not going to be a fun week...

But damn Pinda that seems serious I hope everything is okay Have to hate the human body if I’m honest it’s so terribly designed....

I don’t think it’s too noticeably different from orange Crush though. I like cherry coke/Pepsi a lot (again don’t really taste a difference..) |

But it kept hurting the rest of the day... And yeah, it is honestly surprising that we live to be 80+ on average considering how much the human body can fuck up. |

I hope it will be that easy. But I tried to Google connections between nerves and my symptoms and that didn't exactly make me happy... All I found was stuff like MS or spinal/brain tumors.  Although, I did find also B12 deficiency as a possible less serious cause, I have been tested for that several times when I was younger and it was never a problem... but as a vegetarian I am more at risk for that, so it is not impossible. Guess I will hope for that one... |
