Just a random thought....

Not looking for solutions - just letting folks know their mission statement is to separate the elderly from their social security checks. My mother fell for this scam 23 years ago, has paid nearly $10,000 in premiums in that time, and it has a cash value of less than $3000 today, which I cannot seem to access for her tho I have...

I guess this is a correct community to post about this? If not let me know....

Title should explain it. What are you working on? What are you excited about? Looking to make new friends, so 👋 and let me know you’re alive. 😀

I took my girlfriend and friend out to dinner....

Hello everyone,...

Lets bring some positivity to people you might see around a lot and generally praise them for making good contributions to the platforms growth!...

A bit late today, sorry for that....

Hello everyone,...

Moving to a daily format as weekly threads tend to be buried under new content.

I’m a very bad cook, so trying to find some inspiration

In my case, a few things, but probably being healthy, having a good quality of life in a safe country. Being able to spend time with my friends and family.

Last night was the first time in a month when I had a full night of sleep. Now I’ve been waking up at 8AM instead of going to bed at 2 PM. Don’t have a lot of people to share with but I’m not sure how to describe how I feel. It’s like the absence of a headache I didn’t know I had. My body feels much lighter and...

What are you guys up to? How is your week going?

And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?

A few times in the last two or three days I heard the term “unidentified aerial phenomena”, abbreviated as “UAP”, being used by the US government and media to refer to what mere mortals used to call “UFOs”, or, better yet, “maybe aliens”....

Maybe this is everyone’s experience as they get older, falling out of fashion and balking at the latest trends....

Just a chill thread to talk about anything you want

It’s now been a few times where an older adult (maybe 50+ years old) has called me “endearing”, i always associated this term with children, but i am fully grown adult. Is there something i’m doing wrong? Why are people using a term for children for adults?...

Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user....
