I just hate how it’s the only retail space left that never bothers to organize things beyond men’s sections, women’s sections, and the dreaded kids’ section. I had to go shopping today to get long sleeve black shirts for my job (long story). All I needed were like 3 larges that were black. That’s it! But it took me...
I’ll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊...
I’m currently at this juncture and trying to decide whether to go back to school and start entirely fresh or to hold out for another year or two to see how things go. The anxiety of what the future may or may not hold is real and I’m just standing here, watching the distances shorten faster and faster while still not...
I recently got into RSS and I’m trying to discover some feeds. What I honestly don’t like is that some websites that use RSS and post a new article every couple hours. I’m looking for more personal blog type feeds. Personal projects. Posts that have a “soul” in them, if you will. If you have some that you love, share...
I’ve said it before on beehaw but I work pizza delivery. You’d think it would be an easy job, just drive around and drop off pizzas and enjoy music, but holy shit the amount of pure hatred I’ve gotten from customers over the dumbest little thing is just insane. I had a guy call me, a white-male, a racial slur because we...
One of my most active subs on Reddit was /r/MensLib, an open, pro-feminist, trans-inclusive space for people to discuss men’s issues without toxicity and without anger or violence directed at women or men. It was a (mostly) wonderful community that fostered lots of genuine, heartfelt discussion, and it would seem to me that...
I know this is more fitted for the mental health community on lemmy.world, but that community feels like shouting in the void. I want to have a more “normal” talk about like life, death, purpose, and stuff. How do y’all not just get consumed by how you will be gone one day, how one day no one in the world will even...
this has taken a few days longer than i intended and there are reasons for that which are not ideal. in short: pretty much right as i went on vacation i broke my computer in a way that should have been a total loss and it’s currently in the shop for repairs. i do not have an ETA on when i can expect it back. this wouldn’t be...
This is not a comparison between Tildes and Beehaw. The question really is what constitutes a safe space, but looking at them side by side was at made me think about this issue. I’m new in both communities and I’m aware that they are in a state of adaptation with all the newcomers, something to keep in mind. Another detail...
It’s a story as old as time. I moved into a new place with great fiber internet - but the modem is in the garage, my desktop PC is not, and the place is a rental so I have limited options for making modifications. The signal is not bad, but I’m getting dropouts....
I hope all of you are having a great day! I just was feeling encouraged today as I have officially lost 30 pounds since August, 10 of which have been just this last month. I don't have many people in my life to share this accomplishment with, so I figured I would post here....
Anything new with beehaw and the lemmyverse? Are we still changing platforms? Things seem a lot more quiet now. Is that really a bad thing though? How are you?
2 1/2 weeks ago, I started going for short (25-40 minutes) daily morning runs. Right now the temperature is mostly 10C or higher, so I can just wear shorts and a t-shirt. One day it was below 8, felt a bit cold, and so I got a functional (=plastic) sport long sleeve. That works well, and I can even wear a t-shirt under it if it...
