Same great Dharma, new Fediverse packaging!

Check out DharmaCurious.org for ramblings on philosophy and the occasional creative writing project!

  • ill be at your house in 10 minutes. how will you entertain me?

  • Honestly, same! I recognize your name, but I don't remember the interaction! Lol. I have positive association with it, though!

    I'm still fairly active, I've just switched to slrpnk as my server. I tend to only use this one when slrpnk is down (as it appears to be today)

    How have you been?

  • In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) "tarot" generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. "French Tarot" is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol

    It's honestly become my favorite card game, though I've really only just started getting into it.

  • OP bailed, I think, but I'm down.

  • Depends, probably I'm going to pretend to not be home and not answer my phone.

    But if you're someone I like, I might force you to learn the rules to French Tarot and play that. Or another trick taking game like hearts or spades. Assuming my brother is also home and we have a 3rd player.

    There's also always music, movies, tv shows, et cetera.

    We could crochet.

    If you're gay we could probably have sex. I'm normally down to clown.

    We could play fetch with the dogs.

    If all else fails you can play games on the Xbox while I read.

    But really, if you're just showing the hell up with 10 minutes of warning you need to be the one with a plan here. Otherwise I'm probably going to just keep doing what I normally do and you can join in if you want.

  • YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment

    Jump

  • Iron on patches are your friend for areas like this. Curved needles as someone else suggested also work.

    But because I hate my hands, I almost always just unstitch the pocket and lining, sew the patches on, and then reconstruct the pocket and lining. Probably don't do this, I get hyper fixated on projects and do things the long way round.

  • No pets

    Jump

  • Oh that was a big part of it. Thankfully, we no longer have to deal with a rat infestation, not in a long time. But I still keep all my mason jars and jelly jars. Lol. Öld habits. They're also great in lieu of Tupperware, and depending on the type and how much you fill them, they're freezer safe. I love my mason jars and cast iron lol

  • No pets

    Jump

  • The dichotomy of me: I have always wanted pet rats. I have also lived in a home with a horrible rat infestation. Like, to the point where whole sections of wall have been missing from them chewing them. Keep the food in plastic totes instead of cabinets, and they still chew through the totes. Wild rats, while the same species, are truly horrible to live with them. Not their fault. They're still adorable, intelligent little creatures. But good God does it absolutely suck to have them free ranging themselves in your walls

  • Press F to pay respects

    Jump

  • If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they're down right now for a bit, so I'm not sure when they'll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

  • You rock! Thank you!

  • It works for me on Whatsapp, but not on Eternity, the app I use for Lemmy. Wonder why. Thank you for answering though! I'm old enough that I rarely actually use emoji, and just go with emoticons, but this is cool to know!

  • I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?

  • A simple solution, really

  • Thanks. She was my whole world. Like... Crazy close, best friend. It's been rough. I appreciate the sentiment.

  • That's not far off for some of us. That's about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn't spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over... Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I'm now jobless. :/ life sucks

  • All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer

    Jump

  • Facebook canning groups are a great idea, as someone else mentioned. Them little old ladies can do pretty amazing things on short notice. Can I suggest hitting up local churches? The methodists, Episcopal and baptists are all particularly fond of doing drives and such, and may be able to do an impromptu canning drive for y'all

  • I mean, I wouldn't, because he's way out of my league, and probably straight,and most likely he's busy right now, or waiting on someone, and the music in here is really loud, so he probably wouldn't be able to hear me well enough to chat because I'm soft spoken...

  • where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?

    Jump

  • That's one of the reasons I didn't comment on the post itself, and only replied to another person. Because I can't quite tell which way OP was leaning on that, and I didn't want to be uncharitable.

    Why are you here and not on Reddit?

    Jump

  • I'm a communist. I don't mean to say I'm here because of the leftist population (though, that is nice sometimes, but as in any lefty heavy place there's infighting and bullshit), but rather I have certain values that guide my decision making process, and one of them is not supporting massive corporations and shitty services when possible. Lemmy is an alternative to reddit that doesn't benefit the same class of people as reddit, while actively benefiting the people who actually use it.
