Is the purpose of life to be happy?

When I’m unhappy, I feel like I’m doing life wrong. I’d rather be happy. But is happiness the point of life, or is there more to it? If I pursue happiness, mine first then for those around me, is that selfish? But if there’s a bigger purpose, then what about people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who can’t recall recent...

jellyka,

I personally think the purpose of life is to reproduce. Everything we are is just because it made us better at surviving and multiplying. We are merely animals.

I dont think we need to have kids just because that’s what we exist for. We’re intelligent enough to go against our basic instincts if we wish. In that optic, we all need to find our own purpose!

Apps for desktop websites isn’t a thing

It totally is a thing. But at the same time, you’re not wrong, since they all run on electron lmao.

jellyka,

Sometimes most people with the knowledge are gone, the people left need to keep things relatively up to date for security reasons, but the legacy systems aren’t as nice, so it takes time and is generally unfun to do. Sometimes a new law in Europe goes live and you should be able to add a pop-up somewhere, but when you follow the docs on how to update stuff, it doesn’t even work for a myriad of reasons. It’s not like maintaining a software for 12 years really, which a ton of businesses do successfully. When you’re just keeping something alive that works and almost never crashes, you get to a point where doing mandated new updates gets harder and harder. And now with the shops gone, there’s even less of a money incentive to keep the thing going :(

jellyka,

Is fantasy life a jrpg? I picked it back up after not playing for a while and I’m having a blast. I regret not having bought the dlc before the store closed however :(

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...

jellyka,

You can totally kill 20 hours on vampire survivor. I just discovered the game with the switch release and it consumed my life for about a week.

jellyka,

Can’t you just skin them and throw away only the skin?

jellyka,

I like learning about random ass hobbies without ever indulging in them.

I watch an ungodly amount of aquarium / terrarium videos, lurk a ton of aquascaping communities. I owned a betta fish in an empty bowl when I was 12 and that’s it. (poor fish)

I read all you could know about book binding fanfiction, never done it.

I read a hundred pages long horse breeding guide for the game black desert online and I have no idea why. I only played the game for a month, spent most of it reading a google doc about horse. I’m not even sure I owned a horse in the game.

Sometimes I try the hobby, for example mini painting, and don’t have the patience for it. But I still watch some random dudes on youtube paint for hours and sometimes they don’t even talk!

No idea why I am like this

jellyka,

Nah, I did well in school and it’s almost impossible to get that diagnosis as a adult around here. I do find the adhd memes relatable tho lol.

jellyka,

While I agree with you, I’d really love the possibility of block whole instances, just for me. I don’t want my instance from defederating from much, but I’d like for example to block all the porn without having to find myself some christian lemmy instance to move to lol

jellyka,

Pasta can be desserts.

I make a delicious Mac and chocolate, but can get very few people to try it :(

jellyka,

Holidays and special occasions are sometimes tough, with family shoving food in my face, but I just exercise extra hard afterward, lol.

I think that’s the best way to go about it, eating like a monk literally all the time is much harder than eating well the majority of the time, at least for me lol.

The guilt is an enemy as well, I’m the type to go “well, I’ve broken my diet strike, might as well eat a sundae” in a sort of self hate spiral that makes no sense. If I allow myself to indulge in expected moments I feel much better. Like, literally everyone around the table at christmas goes like, “I ate way too much”, I shouldn’t feel bad for feeling the same haha

I boil the pasta in sugared cacao water, this might be the most important step as it turns the pasta brown. Yellow pasta looks unappetizing if you skip this step.

Then you make a ganache using your favourite chocolate. For me it’s toblerone, I find the little nougat bits add a cool texture. I melt it in a bowl over the boiling pasta and mix with cream, it is very efficient! Everything should be ready to mix at the same time!

You can cover and bake with marshmallows until they’re brown. But don’t use the broiler or they’ll catch fire.

jellyka,

I almost pissed myself laughing by watching the let’s game it out satisfactory series, loved it.

jellyka, (edited )

I did that at first, and thought I was dying when I had bright red diarrhea

I now try to vary my consumption :|

jellyka,

School in general. It was so much work. Homework is torture, at least now once my day is finished I don’t have to worry about it until the next morning.

jellyka,

Now that you say it, actually highschool was pretty chill. I was living on my own in college, so it was your whole list, plus classes, plus homework, and that was the real hell.

Hello, bees! I like playing around in the kitchen, but I feel like I really have no idea what I’m doing with the fundamentals. I’m enjoying the learn-from-experience process, but am looking for something to supplement. I recently started reading / listening to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (by Samin Nosrat). I’m liking it so far,...

jellyka,

I second Ethan’s channel! He has a few videos on how he preps his meals, or how he organizes food around his days so he doesn’t need to reach to takeout when he doesn’t have time to cook and stuff like that.

Here’s the whole listing! So happy it’s still up. The house is really consistently decorated. Wouldn’t have expected to see football memorabilia and goth aesthetic to match so well.
