i get off work in 4 hours for a 2 week vacation and ive got one last project i just cant seem to motivate myself to do. 2 weeks!...

Lip balms here usually have a cap that you just pull to open, and that’s what I had been doing with the latest one I bought. Several times in the several weeks since I first opened it, I thought it’s really too hard an action. Today, maybe because I’m sick and weaker, I stopped to consider my repeated internal criticism...

Just came back from my stupid mental health walk. How are you dealing with the cold? Power was a euro/kWh earlier this year. It’s 14 degrees here right now. Sometimes it feels like courage fails me.

I came across the stickied weekly thread at uBlock Origin’s sub-Reddit. WARNING: It’s a long and complicated read....

things have settled down considerably since last week; got to see the eclipse the other day which was cool

The original post I made about this is here....

This just appeared on my screen when visiting YouTube. Yes, I use Ublock Origin. However, what is all of this about? Will I be banned from YouTube if I don’t comply?

Im looking into possibly starting a community, but what do you think lemmy needs added? or it it better to do whatever i want? what do you think and please explain dont just reply with one word. Is this the wrong place to post something like this....

things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week

Howdy y’all! It’s already one week in to October. This is the first update post, so comment below with your progress, challenges, and next steps. See you all next week!

I know there’s a bit of disconnect by me writing this on an actual social platform, but it’s Beehaw - so it’s cool....

Not really news in any way, but I thought it was an interesting short read, even if it’s also publicity for the book the interviewee wrote.

Speaking as a creative who also has gotten paid for creative work, I’m a bit flustered at how brazenly people just wax poetic about the need for copyright law, especially when the creator or artist them selves are never really considered in the first place....

What nonsensical words do you like to use in your not so everyday speech?

I need help with a vital fall conundrum: what to put on the potatoes I’m roasting. I’m bored of my go-tos and seeking new ideas for low-effort cookie sheet flavors. Dump all your favorite spices, spice combos, and potato opinions here.

things have been fairly quiet this week. not much to report.

Howdy y’all! It’s October 1st, so make something month has begun. If you would like to participate, post below with what you are planning to do. There’s really no rules, you’ve just got to make something. Every week after this I’ll post a thread for weekly updates, and then on the last day of the month a final update...

Years back, it was more simple. Food, shelter, and water. But now, as technology, advances and people get stressed out more and more from life getting too complicated, needing manuals for almost everything. What do you guys think the bear necessities are now?...

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 😊...

not much to report, however i i have completed my reading goal for the year (35 books) with several months to spare thanks to The Red Corner: The Rise and Fall of Communism in Northeastern Montana

Howdy y’all! I’m hoping to run a make something month in October either here or in Creative. The idea is that a bunch of people all make something, doesn’t matter what, throughout the month. Each week I’ll make a post where we can share progress and discuss, and at the end of the month you can post your final creation(s)...

Note: This is only an attempt at such, so please let me know where it falls insufficient....

Here’s an interesting question for you, one that many people have asked themselves, asked their parents, teachers, and even asked their Gods: what makes people do what they do? And a lot of people have answered that question with their own interpretations of human nature. I’m sure you’ve heard many of them before: people...

Think about it; instead of those in charge or the instances deciding who they don’t want to be federated with and thus restricting content for the users, it would be better if users were able to block entire instances instead....
