We do have our older kitty, buutt may be looking into getting another! I do feel like getting 2 together is the way to go so it’s definitely something my wife and I are thinking through!

We did just get some bookshelves to put in our basement! We have more space down there so it’s helpful for getting stuff stored, but doesn’t add to our spaces where we stay the most. I think it’s really wall decorations that stress me out and makes the room feel barren.

kismattic,

Definitely a board game family so getting some shelving units has become a necessity!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Tons of great info here! Yeah like I think pictures + shelves for the walls are the way to go. It seems like for us it’s a matter of just putting something up to get started then that’ll jumpstart the rest. Love the idea of “semi-chaos.” I feel like my friends places have some more refined style but maybe ours just doesn’t work that way. It’s nice to know people embrace a less pristine style.

Yeah we’ve picked up some pieces from craft fairs and sadly they’ve just been gathering dust because we could never decide where they “fit” best. I like more moody/atmospheric art so it’s not always the aesthetic we want in like the living room for example. Will definitely look into this more!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I agree with everything you’ve said! I’m super cautious before adopting any new pets. The only time I’d just get one is if I’m maybe adopting from a shelter to give an older cat a new home. My main concern is how they’d interact with our old lady cat because she can be a bit feisty!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll have to look that up! Would definitely love a guide for extra info/tips and inspiration. I think wall decor is our largest hurdle, along with making sure to keep clutter to a minimum. Having a toddler makes it difficult sometimes.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I do really enjoy geometric and abstract stuff so I’ll have to look into them, we really just want to give our home some more personality so it feels like home. We have some artwork but never know which room they really fit in since they’re all kind of different moods and aesthetics.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

We have done some home renovation here and there so that’s always fine, except my spackle jobs aren’t always perfect! I think the hardest part for us is actually deciding which parts we care about the most. Obviously our family will take up part of it, but then we aren’t entirely sure about the rest. I think getting some plants is a great idea a lot of people are recommending. May need to do fake ones but still would be nice to add some color!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you so much for the breakdown of all the different rooms! Really helps set some perspective for the variety of examples and how that can work! We definitely have some stuff we’ve accumulated but could never decide where they should go. I think I’ll have to take a weekend and just start putting stuff up here and there and see how we like it. The worst thing we’ve done so far is really not attempt anything so we don’t even know if we’d like something.

$5.35 after taxes. I just want answers on why it’s wrong and Wendy’s will never answer me 🥲

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! But now they’re also on Threads, I would’ve put this on Mastodon if they existed there

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

It’s Threads, not better than mastodon but still better than Twitter, or at least I hope?

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Not my intention, I’m trying to make the point of not purchasing from them due to deceptive pricing but it is still essentially free marketing. Not sure how to bring it up without that being the case

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it’s definitely bloated with companies just trying to act witty or like they’re people. Mastodon is infinitely better in that respect. Ive just been dumb trying to get more outreach for the social stuff I’ve been trying to do 😣

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I’d be fine if it were just the tax, but literally marketing something one way and charging a 25% markup is just false advertising. Either change the name of the deal or change the price.

Am I petty for making such a fuss about $1, hell yeah, but is it annoying that “value” meals from every major fast food chain are going up while keeping the same name/title, absolutely

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, appreciate you!

Don’t forget the ketamine!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Really love to hear that! Back around like 2016-2019 I loved the idea of switching to a Tesla. Couldn’t afford it but always thought it was something to strive for. Well, that is no longer the case for me and I actively encourage people to shop other EV’s if they’re set on them and to avoid anything with his name tied to it.

I feel dumb promoting the dude with a low effort meme, but hearing replies like this I feel makes it worth it.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Haha love this! Did you give them any reason why? Or just turned them down??

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Glad they got the feedback that people don’t want to work for the baby king! SWE here, I wouldn’t ever working for one of his companies or really any of the top tech places , but I also have full imposter syndrome so none of them would want me either 😂

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the suggestions! Have Ticket to Ride and have been eyeing Arkham Horror for awhile but heard that it’s kinda campaign based? It’s been hard to keep a group consistently so wasn’t sure if that’ll be a problem. Will check out the other two!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve seen it around but never knew anything about it, will add it to the list! Thank you!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the suggestion! Haven’t heard of this one but it’s going to the research list!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Oooo lots of recommendations!! Saving this to look at for later think the only know I’ve seen is the Star Wars deckbuilding game. So much stuff to research! Thanks for the thorough response!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I feel like Everdell has always sat in the back of my mind but I never knew enough to pull the trigger on it. Will have to check out more about it and what it is. Thanks for the recommendations!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

That’s alright, as long as you know that I believe in you!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it feels like I’m just responding to everything now! I don’t even know who I am anymore

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t dream of replying to you, that would be a nightmare to do such a thing that would go against the wishes you have of not being replied to at all, again, a thing I would absolutely not do, as to retain your respect!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Your reply has been acknowledged with a reply. Thank you for your service!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Aww thanks! I’m just being a goof rambling about stuff now.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Haha Id love to keep this name so I’d just have to abandon to another instance! Thanks again for being so chill and helpful!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry, replying a day later! There’s been much more going on with this post than I expected!

kismattic, (edited )
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah Reddit really made the cost just impossible for any slightly active app unable to continue without any form of meaningful profit. I would have loved to support whatever Third Party app but yeah wouldn’t have been enough to keep them afloat.

For Lemmy not being perfect, it feels like it’s just more of a number of users issue vs an actual technical problem. Sure fediverse stuff can be complicated, but after signing up and searching communities you can pretty much do some normal Reddit feeling stuff IMO. I’m trying to revive the Twitch Lemmy community if anyone wants to help with that (I have no clue what to do)!

Edit: also adding that I didn’t think about moderation or tools that Lemmy may or may not have in place since I’ve never been a mod for any of that. So maybe a technical problem somewhere.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

I am! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well if you’re also here!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Late to respond to this but I love the Kirby dance, keep the positive vibes going!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry for the late response! Totally agree, I only lurked on the other place but there was always an endless steam of stuff to lurk through since there were so many people. With this community I’d feel more responsible to maintain the consistency by at least being active within posts people are creating so I’ve been trying to do that more. It’s a group effort and totally think we can do it if we keep this up!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

You all good, I got you fam! 😅

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Not a problem, that’s what I’m here for! Be sure to give someone else a welcome whenever you have the chance! Keep the good vibes going around and encouraging people to stay active here.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

It’s been really great here! I’m just getting started trying to be more active but this post alone has just been amazing (although it may be an outlier). This is the most activity I’ve gotten from any online thing I’ve done, so it’s pretty huge to me!

Everyone here seems to have the right frame of mind for why we’re here and what we left and what to expect here. It’s just a matter of encouraging each other to continue to be active when we can and support each other and the platform as a whole!

This is my delayed response, really appreciate your thoughtful reply!

Also will add contact to my list of stuff to watch (isn’t there such a finite time to experience all the media out there??).

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Welcome welcome!

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

And seen you are! Welcome 🙂
