From and to which countries, if you don’t mind me asking?

Reasonable posts generally don’t result in me deleting anything. Most posts have an interested audience even if something is technically against the rules, and as such it is very rare that I hit that delete button.

Please edit your title in the form of a question. I almost removed this as spam. In fact, there’s not a single question in your post, but I’m sure you’re trying to ask one.

Thank you. Have a magnificent day.

This was me in 2014. I didn’t think of it as drowining, it felt more like a plow working against too much snow: Things kept piling up in front, and not enough was shoved away, to the point where things started coming over the plow and starting to bury me.

Took me five years, some help, and a lot of luck to get things under control and start turning things around. And in 2024 all expensive debts were paid off.

It takes effort, but it can get better.

Hugh Grant. I’m sure he’s both a wonderful person and a great actor, but… he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He’s become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

Yup. My ear canals are much wider than the average q tip, so I don’t really use them as plungers, they’re more for scraping the sides.

I am terrified of losing my hearing or otherwise damaging my ears (long story, not that interesting), so I simply refuse to use them as far in as I safely could.
