Honestly? Myself. No one in my life asks how I'm doing, what I'm doing, if there's anything new... Then again I'm too much of a pushover anyway.
I love your posts and have assumed that you chose your username after one of my favorite Trek characters in the history of the franchise, but did you know that Paul Stamets the Discovery mycologist was named for the actual Paul Stamets, a real life mycologist? Real-Stamets is interesting particularly because he is largely self-educated in mycology and who has multiple publications and awards in the field?
I did! You are right in guessing who I named my account after. He's also one of my favorites. First openly gay main Trek character meant a big deal to me. I know way more than I should about Discovery, including a lot of research and choices when it came to Stamets and Culber.
I love my little gay boys.
I think that, most of the time, we're all locked in our own tiny worlds that are completely filled by our lives, making us forget to really inquire about the people around us. But if you start talking about things, people are usually interested! It's not an easy thing to do, especially if you don't have many opportunities - but I can really recommend trying to share some bits and pieces about cool things that the other person might enjoy. Worst case they don't respond and you can drop it. But there's also a good chance it will lead to good things! :)
That's true for a lot of people but my situation is complicated. Like I said before, I've just learned to live with it.
Besides, the problems temporary enough. Eventually I'll die and then it'll solve itself.
I really, really wish you the best of luck that you'll have positive experiences in the future.
So mate, how are you doing?
Not great but it's whatever. Didn't mean that as a prompt for people to ask me. I just wish the people in my life would ask.
How are you doing?
Awful! Thanks though.
:/
It is what it is. Nothing is really going to change it or make a difference. I've learned to just... live with it.
Well, I'll talk about you then. Your Risa posts have been the highlight of my Lemmy experience, and I would say a lot of others as well, considering they're consistently some of the most active posts on lemmy.world. I came because of the reddit bullshit but stayed because of your memes.
Years from now when people ask "who were the first famous Lemmings?" MY answer will be "Stamets". You beautiful fucking bastard.
I am glad that people are enjoying them. I only started because I've been stuck in my apartment for a month. Can't walk at the moment and I was losing my fucking mind. Memes have been an outlet for me because I get to look through all the ones I have saved and pick my favorites to post. I've been trying to make a couple but I'm not that clever.
Either way I'm glad that I was able to give a reason to stay. Just doing my part.
