I’ve always found it better to let online friendships form organically based on shared interests rather than seeking them out. With the second method, there’s a good chance you and the other person won’t have much in common besides wanting to make friends, and the conversation will taper off on its own.
I hope your new chat leads to a strong, lasting friendship :)
The average Lemmy user seems rather tech savvy. I assumed it would be something to bond over.
That’s a cool hobby :) what motivated you to start a homelab?
So eloquent.
It reminds me of this collection of analogies in students’ writing.
Those who abuse charities and donations for their own benefit both hurt the people who are most in need of their services and the faith of donors (and potential donors) in those systems.
How do you like to use fava beans?
Not the original commenter, but I like baking white beans (the most common kind available where I live) and using them in stews. Occasionally I’ll buy tinned black beans to put in burritos.
Nice description :) I would put myself in the same category. I’ll usually try and succeed at figuring things out on my own before calling for help unless there’s a high probability I’ll mess them up even more.
Vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice all make good cleaning agents.
It’s also good for stain removal and cleaning eyeglasses :D
Maybe not completely obsolete, but landline phones and fax machines.
I rarely see anyone using mp3 players anymore :(
When I still ate meat, I preferred game meat like venison.
I wish for you to find love for yourself and acceptance with those that will appreciate you for who you are. 🫂 The impact of trauma can be hard to reverse but not impossible. But the good news is that even an old beat up RV can be repaired, restored, used towards building/buying a new one.
Mazel tov! An invitation to the Jew Moon is a rare privilege :D
Just one of those pesky Freudian slips. Thinking of one thing but dreaming your mother :P
I’m sorry you have to deal with with bullies and I hope your shift change creates a healthier work atmosphere for you 🫂
I also think dreams are snippets of our minds running in the background that sometimes get patched together in odd ways :D
They can be influenced by recent events or things you think about often.
Lucid dreaming is like a real-life superpower. I wish I was able to do it.
I hope that you can find peace and closure 🫂
That’s a sweet and comforting sentiment <3
On a side note, I never liked the term “big girl job”. Just feels infantilizing and not in a cute way.
I like how Lemmy is reminiscent of early Internet forums and how users have a choice to share as little or as much as they want about themselves. Having online status publicly displayed detracts from that experience. We shouldn’t have to justify being offline or simply not wanting to respond right away. The internet is at our fingertips but it doesn’t mean we need to be accessible all the time.
I like reading about tech, science, and current events but don’t feel like I know enough on these subjects to contribute to the discussion.
Bears! Large, furry, all-enveloping hugs. And have you seen their little round ears? 🥺
