Check it: colons are incredibly useful for introducing new ideas or adding emphasis. And the way people talk on the internet could use significantly more clarity: you can ramble and ramble, and just talk about whatever, expand on your point, really beat that dead horse, and then take a short break. But using colons allows you to...

So I was on a walk to my town’s downtown, and along the way I spotted this really low-key retail store with 1950s architecture with just 1 car parked in a parking lot that could only fit 3 cars. It had the world’s smallest logo but I could barely read “video store” and I had to double take. Like it makes sense that some...

I brought everyone together to reminisce over memories and yearbook photographs. We learned where some people went off to and that a couple died, did drugs, became strippers, et cetera. lol It really did feel like we were in high school again, except we were of drinking age. I talked to people that I actually didn’t talk to in...

just finished part one of my latest big project. not much to report; this has kept me very busy for the past week and change

When so much shit gets thrown at you that you have to rehome a pet, it’s so nice to be reminded on Black Friday that you still don’t have that pet, but here are some deals you can’t fucking use.

the headlines have been pretty bad this week, huh?

So I realized that best feature of these sites (Lemmy, red*it, digg, Tildes …) is that I didn’t know anybody. Yes I know that friend who use it but I don’t know his username and don’t want to “follow” him…...

… the founding ideas are promising, and something I dream of....

Woop! :D

this week is starting off with what i can only assume is a sinus infection, so that’s not ideal. i’m also down two grandparents, which likewise is not ideal

Social media is one hell of a drug. It’d have you swallowing giant gummy worms whole at the back of a sip’n’strut. Oh sure, the catharsis is nice, but at some point you’ll need to ask yourself “why are we like this?”...

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....

I was watching a video from two years ago about different social norms and this showed up. Found someone questioning the same eight years ago on reddit (when it seemed less normalized). It feels so weird not being aware of this shift, even as a foreigner.

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...

it’s been awhile since i cycled this and we’re still obviously getting new members. feel free to introduce yourself below :)

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 😊...

If you learned that an actor was a serial killer, who would surprise you the least? (Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Walken, Tom Cruise, and Jack Nicholson don’t count–everyone knows they’re stacking bodies somewhere)...

another slightly late thread but i have been busy for most of today. learning about some arcane internet drama, also reading some books. currently on The Storm Is Here–this will be book 41 for the year when i finish it.

I’m driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn’t like I’m depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don’t have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get...

I fucking hate my parents. They always make me out as the problem. I keep getting mixed signals on whether they are lgbt accepting and are ultra religious....

At some point I was searching for an open source car pooling service. I realized there weren’t any so I started developing one on my free weekends....

I have literally nothing planned. Let me live vicariously through you
