  • I recently attempted to apply for a job and they wanted a link to my LinkedIn page. Fair enough, but then they also had another spot for "Website" that was mandatory to fill in, and it would not allow me to continue with the application until I had a legit website in there, and it wouldn't accept the same link as my LinkedIn page that I'd already used in the space above, so I just gave up. Fuckers.

  • I swear I remember some rumor from back in the day that Carmex was somehow addictive: You'd put in on your lips to keep them from drying up, but Carmex had fiber glass in it, which would make tiny cuts on your lips, which made them dry and crack even more, so you then you had to use more Carmex, rinse and repeat.

    Thanks for unlocking that memory for me. The 80s were a weird time.

  • Fuck yeah!

  • I was seriously considering becoming an animal cop/animal control officer, but then I realized I would not be able to contain my rage at the people who mistreated the animal, even if I knew that they were being arrested or being fined for whatever they did. I want those people to physically suffer. I'd just end up in jail myself for harming them.

  • In all the relationships I've ever had, I've never had pet names for my partner, and they never had any for me, which I guess is kinda weird? Like, are there "pet name people" and "non-pet name people", and do they only attract the same type?

  • Donated money to the local food bank.

  • Hell yeah, 100x better than a drip.

  • Yes, I use e.l.f. Holy Hydration face cream, just a little bit, but more in the winter. It's fragrance free and not oily at all.

  • Reaching way back here, but maybe Johnny Bravo or Powerpuff Girls?

  • Malted stuff like Old English, Colt 45, and some hard seltzers (though not all).

  • I got fired from Starbucks for not smiling enough back in the late 90s. To be fair, I have a pretty bad case of Resting Bitch Face, so I get it.

  • Workout days (3 a week) I eat an egg/feta cheese/spinach scramble with 1 chicken breakfast sausage and about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. I meal prep these and keep them in the freezer.

    Any non-workout day it's non-fat Greek yogurt with half an apple, 1/4 cup protein granola, and 2 TBSP of PB Fit powder.

  • I'm not sure?

  • Smoking. I smoked for 13 years before I finally quit after multiple attempts. So glad I did too, because the cost of cigarettes has become insane.

  • 45 here, and it depends on the illness/injury. I don't get ill very often, can get over a cold in a week, still never had COVID (that I'm aware of, knock on wood). But God forbid I get any sort of scratch or cut anywhere on my body, it will always always get infected, always. Yes, I bathe regularly, wash my hands religiously, use anti-bac wound cream, cover the wound, etc, it ALWAYS gets red and itchy and irritated. That never used to happen to me in my 20s or 30s.

  • I told myself I wouldn't drink alcohol the night before I go to the gym the following morning, mostly because there's no way I could complete the workout if I was hungover. I got to the gym Tues, Thurs, Sun, so it keeps me sober at least 3 days out of the week and usually more (I have it down to drinking only 2 nights a week). So far I've stuck to my "deal", which is way better than where I was a year ago (drinking every night). Nobody in my life knows I struggle with this (I think they either wouldn't believe me because I'm "the good one" or would outright disown me because I'm so good at hiding it). It's really hard, but I manage.

  • I was very disappointed at the gym this morning when I realized I didn't have it all to myself.

  • Science Fiction @lemmy.world

    What makes a great sci-fi story?
