My spouse and I have been doing some restructuring of our finances now that they have a new job as of a month ago. We’ve been doing an equitable split of our finances based on income which involved us taking inventory of everything we’re paying every month....
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....
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...
So last week I ordered some new earplugs for concerts, bandpractice and such, and they have failed to arrive. I’m a pretty patient dude so I wait for a couple of days thinking it’s just taking a bit longer....
For me, it’s my mom. She wasn’t the perfect mom but she did what she could to raise my brother and I and I’m grateful for that. And I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for her.
I’ve gotten emergency weather alerts on my phone for most of my life, but didn’t get one today that another person in my household did. It’s …possible that they lied about this -but, still, it spooked me and I want to make sure that I get important weather alerts where I live. In my phone’s settings, it says that...
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...
Been trying to buy a house because my rent is going up(and it will continue to do so) and a mortgage would be around the same as what my rent will become in a few years anyway so I figure I might as well build equity and have a house for my family....
See here for the results, there are links to the final png as well as timelapse videos. Looks like the Beehaw artwork turned out well, and there’s plenty of other great art on there, too. I managed to get a couple of little pieces squeezed in there myself just before the end....
It does not get better. There is no reason for it to get better. There is nothing guaranteeing it will get better. There is no policy, no protocol, no rules, no nothing. NOTHING in this life WILL get better. It might get better....
I generated this template, and got help from @Lionir to clean it up! We have the template placed at 533, 76. Feel free to participate at canvas.toast.ooo!
Although I don’t fully agree with the sentiment expressed by this thread, it did get me thinking about leaning even further into contributing to an environment I’d like to participate in. I personally much prefer dedicated discussion threads to discussing news stories myself and reading through the comments it seems like...
I just had a Discord moment where a throwaway line was highlighted as high art, and I looked at what I’d dashed off and was like, “Oh, my Picard voice. Not generally useful outside of editorial writing.”
Personal background: I strongly feel just about everyone grows up and has something shitty about them. I know growing up I definitely thought and said some less-than-ideal jokes about women, minorities, etc. And while some of that was the proverbial ‘the times’, and some was growing up in a sheltered hyper Christian southern...
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 have perhaps the most important social obligation possible—meeting my SO (who I have been dating for 5 years and engaged with for 2 1/2 years)—so that will largely and unfortunately preclude me posting or doing much here on account of living out of a hotel for the next seven or so days. it’s also just a good idea to take...
