Ah yes, unlike checks notes this guy

Have your asked your dad? What does he say? Did you tell him that you think it would be harder for you and ask what his opinion is?
Not saying you have to, just curious if you did how it went. I'm in a similar boat.
This doesn't answer your question, but I'm curious. You say your writing is good but your reading is bad. In my experience reading and writing are so intrinsically linked, and reading is the easier of the two. If it's possible can you explain the difference for you? I just find it really interesting!
When you can't tap a button to fill the text dialogue, and have to wait for each letter to individually populate for 15 speech bubbles in a row.
I need you to know that "practicing not clenching my jaw" killed me dead lol relatable
This was after Vyvanse and coffee 😅 I was very focused on all the NYT games. Just couldn't convince myself to be productive.
I don't have anything that is pressing-pressing, but there's definitely stuff I should be doing. Instead I am laying in bed like an invalid. Help
Awesome, thank you for the reply (and the awesome work on this app!)
I tried to find this video not on tiktok but couldn't, sorry. But here's an example: https://www.tiktok.com/@donnarodgers492/video/7398470961059712299
Just don't say it. Just skip the word. And if you do it when singing privately,it should be an automatic habit when you do it around other people.
I'm glad you pointed out that this is in reference to old literature. Whenever I see a white person singing to a song and they say it "because it's just part of the song," hard cringe. Just didn't say it. Skip the word. It's easy.
A good example I can think of is that young white man at the DNC singing along with Not Like Us who was so joyous and animated and went viral. When it came to the n-word, he just skipped it. Just fist pumping and keeping the energy, and closing his mouth for one word. A lot of people noticed and were grateful that he was respectful in this way.
This is not helpful but I just want to kvetch. It seems like any appliances you buy nowadays are just so shitty compared to even ten years ago. Even brands that have long been reliable are so hit or miss. I have a mini-fridge that's almost 30 years old and still works fine. I keep being tempted to buy one with a better freezer or that's more energy-efficient but I worry it would kick the bucket and be unrepairable within 5 years.
I didn't even know they had flowers!
...I should water mine
Never knew how much I needed this, holy shit. Mine beeps when it finishes but also beeps again if I haven't opened the door in, idk, some amount of time. Which I get why it's a gesture and sometimes I actually do find it useful but often I'm like "I KNOW, GIMME A MINUTE"
I am triggered, please for the love of god and anyone who lives with you JUST CLEAR IT
Melt ICE, let's fuckin go
I feel like the problem with AI generated content is it's so easy for anyone to generate stuff, so there can be a huge amount created with little effort. There is high quality AI-generated content, but whew there's a lot that's total slop.
I don't know what the best response is, though. Requiring disclosure of AI-generated comment doesn't seem like it would help because that's going to be mostly honor system. User-flagged could be used to brigade/suppress posts. Really it's probably just a matter of blocking users and communities where you see consistent slop.
I would love to see this as an option in compact mode! I can't deal with non-compact mode but I like to see the whole title.
I'm still pretty inexperienced in the fediverse, so I'm not even sure if this is a place to suggest features or if there's a better place to do so.
I am an uneducated American, thank you for sharing this. Really repugnant. This cancer is global and growing.

Any kind–drive-up camping, backpacking, RV camping, in the woods, at the beach, in a shelter, let's hear it all.
What do you like about them? What platform(s) did you play them on?
If so, how's every responsibility in your life holding up while you drown in the hyperfocus?


"If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I'm threatening violence. Lol
Whatever "too long" means to you. What eventually helped to lessen the pain?
Things like frozen lasagna and stew are classics for new parents, but not exactly the greatest light fare. What are your faves that:
- can be easily eaten when you drop them off, or popped in the fridge for later
- don't require turning on the oven
- are refreshing in the heat
- are nutritious, not too junky
Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.
What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don't you like, would you recommend them?

I found this so easy and it's a great result! Perfect for summery pieces :)
On reddit, stopdrinking seems to be a support network for people who are in the process of quitting drinking, and for folks seeking and giving support for maintaining sobriety. Is that the same goal of this community here?
Something I never found on reddit was a sub for alcohol-free living that was not a support sub – a place for memes, jokes, mocktail recipes, more silly/casual gripes.
What do folks here think about a community like that on Lemmy? I wouldn't want to overly fragment an alcohol-free community, but also wouldn't want to use a support sub for that kind of content.

For the past several months I've been slowly tapering off an SNRI with terrible withdrawal. If I ever forgot a dose, I spent the next day with a pounding headache, unable to stand up, feeling like I was going to vom. As I've been tapering, every time I drop the dosage it's the same symptoms, but to a u slightly lesser degree.
It's been... not fun.
And then I remember that I used to feel like this almost every Saturday and Sunday because of my binge drinking/alcohol abuse.
I quit using alcohol over three years ago. I'm really proud of myself, and grateful to (usually) feel better in my body these days.
