2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
God, none of it matters. You'll always have one dickhead or another in office. Losing sleep over who is president is nuts to me. We're in dystopian times now. Just don't think about it
Something I’ve always noticed and am going through now. Sometimes I’ll drink too much the night before and be concerned about a hangover the next morning. Morning comes, and almost always my first thought is “gee I feel like shit but actually this is way less bad then I was expecting” this misplaced optimism gets washed...
It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you’re about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester....
I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
A television screen you can turn on and off without the remote. A mobile phone that has buttons on the back. A magic stick that can send my husband to the cornfield when he won't leave me alone.
I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book “The Science of Cooking” which was fascinating.
For example, I like to train mine to accept me providing scritches (petting) with my feet and for them to be equally comfortable with using foot as hand
I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.
Pleather or faux leather or whatever they call it. You have about a year or two before it starts rubbing off on everything you own. Sometimes you don't even realise you're buying it. I wish it didn't exist.
First of all, this is not criticising or taking a cheap shot or really political at all. I am fascinated that a lawyer uses/brings a gaming laptop to trial and I can’t help but think it was contrived as another distraction....
I wish we played with our VR headset more. We have had an occulus rift for years and have barely used it. I was really enjoying the new half-life game too. We just forget about it in our home
I remember listening to Foo Fighters(Everlong, Learn to Fly,…) and enjoying some music and having a laught at the video. Recently i discovered this:...
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...
I lived in an old broken down farm house growing up. I saw some weird things, such as an old knife-lady. However, I was a child, and therefore retarded. I'm just an idiot.
My daddy says he saw her too, but he was probably just messing with me
I just had two people take my order in a drive thru. They alternated every question. First person welcomed me and asked what I wanted. The next person asked what size and drink I wanted. The first person came back on and asked if I wanted any cheese sauce then the second person came back on and told me the price. When I got up...

My cat has been shitting infront of the litterbox for a while now but the strange thing is, its always on the same place, and she still does shit in the letterbox, but also outside....
God yes. I miss my cooking Subreddits. I haven't really seen too much content like that. I pretty much only read asklemmy even though I'm on kbin. I don't care for the memes and political news and it seems like that's all there is.
I’m looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me...
I love my stand mixer! I don't have room either, but I still carry it back and forth to and from the kitchen to use it all the time. It's pretty difficult to carry for me but still less work than kneading for ten minutes.
Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
Oh! I know about data types a little already. Why are languages moving away from strict data typing? That's very disappointing to hear. Which languages were you thinking about? Will they at least let you configure the compiler to use strict data types in the future?
You find yourself in a room with people. Everyone else is someone you have had sex with in your life. (kbin.social)
