Ruby Tuesday!

Looking for feedback on what you all are wanting out of this community!

Lemmy users who struggle with depression, what need is unfulfilled in your life? What could be done practically to change your situation?
  • I really think this is what the solution can be boiled down to for a lot of people. The rat race just to survive (not even thrive) is killer on the mood, where you feel like you are headed towards existentially, and utterly depletes the energy.

    Why even bother trying to pursue things we actually enjoy? Or find out what we do enjoy? Too tired from work. Don't want to leave the house again if I can help it. It costs so much to do anything. Honestly, if I didn't end up having some decent people to hang out with at work I wouldn't have anyone close by. It's ridiculous.

    seems to encompass just how I feel when shit just works.

  • MFRS CAN'T SHIT MY PANTS!!!1!!
  • Lol. This is trash content. At least step it up.

  • Posted pictures no longer showing?

    I've been noticing that posts I have attached photos to are no longer showing the pictures. Including the posts other people have made to the community I moderate.

    Does this just happen over time? Are we supposed to use a third party site to link photos from so this doesn't happen?

    Honking at someone when the light turns green is no longer rude because he is probably on his phone
  • Was it ever rude? Like, get going. Obviously need a wake up either way.

    As others have mentioned the way you honk can be rude. And honking too quickly.

  • What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?
  • When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don't love them.

    The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max's dream...those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.

    The Ring was a big one because my "friend" called and did the whole "seven days..." thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.

    Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.

  • I don't want to call out sick today. I want to call out healthy.
  • Seriously, sometimes calling in every once in a while and getting some stuff down around the house, the yard, or actually enjoying a hobby - does wonders for the mental health.

    Skipping work when you feel productive and refreshed vs only when you feel like shit - should be a thing (aka mental health days ran in tangent with sick time).

  • Hard Coat vs Soft Coat

    What kind of coat does your schnauzer have?

    Mine has the hard coat, which is the first time our schnauzer(s) have had a coat like that! I love the look and feel of it but because of the up-keep she actually sheds a decent amount if I'm not on top of hand-stripping, which I'm slowly learning.

    My local groomer CAN hand strip but refuses to do it on my little one because, "she doesn't even bother on her terrier and it's only done on show dogs." Which annoyed me, so I'm doubling down on the technique myself and trying to avoid clipping it all and losing it.

    I've read that the hard coat is the traditional coat of a schnauzer but a lot of the breed has been turned into soft coats due to the ease of clipping, shedding, etc. But the soft coat can get easily matted and curly without more brushing and maintenance.

    Curious what everyone has and their thoughts!

  • Saw her at a local university, she was a fantastic speaker and I learned lots! Happy I got to experience her.

    What a treasure.

    Rest in peace. ❤

  • Getting this error when I am trying to post an image - where do I log / report it?
  • I've had a similar problem. A screenshot version of the photo was a no go (my go to way to crop). An edited version of the original photo was fine. Hopefully it's something that gets smoothed out over time.

  • Ruby Tuesday

    Will be throwing out a random Ruby picture every Tuesday to try and get some more eyes on the community. If anyone wants to do something similar for a while, please do so! Bonus points if it's a silly name/weekday combo like Ruby Tuesday.

    What's your favorite memory from the early internet?
  • The early days of YouTube, spurred our own shitty video making within our group of friends. OG Neopets and Habbo Hotel were peak socializing with strangers on the internet. MSN allowed me to actually talk to people I knew in a way that was harder to do in person, helped me form relationships I wouldn't have normally had.

  • What are you earliest me memories of web forums like?
  • Neopets was probably my first time delving headfirst into forums. It was a neat thing where you can join guilds, sometimes super niche ones where everyone is just as into the thing as you are, and just talk to similar-minded people.

    It was a cool feeling as someone from a rural town in the middle of Canada.

  • Reasons for getting a Mini Schnauzer?

    Was there a particular reason for getting a Schnauzer? Or was it just happenstance?

    Welcome!

    Welcome to the Mini Schnauzer community!

    Figured I'd start by spamming my own Mini Schnauzer, our little Ruby!

    I'm new to the moderator game, so bear with me. Lemmy seems like a pretty chill place compared to Reddit so I'll try it out with something straight-forward and dear to my heart.

    I grew up with Miniature Schnauzers, among other types of dogs. In fact, our very first puppy was one! Jack. Followed by Jill, naturally. I'm sure you'll see them on here at some point! Even though they are no longer with me, they hold a special place in my heart.

    As I got my own home established, my husband and I decided that another Mini Schnauzer would be a wonderful fit as our first together.

    Ruby was the runt of the litter and is quite the timid, delicate flower; but we are of course smitten.

    Excited to see all the photos and hear all the stories! Hopefully we can all also provide some insights to those thinking of getting one themselves and any issues people may be having with their stubborn little ones.

    (Discussion) Vulgar / obscene language shall be strongly discouraged in the Agora community
  • Yeah, I'm not sure I agree.

    Definitely understand your point, but this is the internet after all. Will I be reprimanded if I use "fucking" or "shit" to really make a point I'm passionate about? Is it okay if the context is alright? Is it bad if I use 2 curse words but 1 is okay? Who's to say?

    Context will be big. Straight up vulgar, hateful speech is already not allowed, so I don't think we need to add to it unnecessarily.

  • Chicken bacon ranch sandwich
  • Why is ranch so sublime? Seconded only by mayo as a condiment, but ranch goes so hard on pizza that I'm wondering if it should be in first because of this.

  • NSFW
    Posting in Shitposting because this meme is dog shit.
  • We can only handle so much shit in a shit post.

  • Climate change, fires transform some of Canada's boreal forests into savannahs - CBC News
  • Is there any evidence of controlled burns being done on a regular basis? Forest fires are, unfortunately, a circle of life thing and are necessary. With the ongoing issues happening more and more, earlier and earlier are they at least considering this option?

  • Parts of Reddit are staying dark. Our search results may suffer for it.
  • This is going to the biggest blow to me tbh. So many nuanced problems have been found on Reddit. Hoping some of the data can be transferred elsewhere vs completely deleted but it isn't looking that way.

  • Call to remove Of Mice and Men from GCSE course
  • Right? Like we need to really start realizing that being uncomfortable can actually be a positive thing. Allows us to push past our norm and open our minds to different perspectives. We might not always like it. We might not always understand it. But we learn something, whether it be about ourselves or others.

  • I'm Gen-X - What are some recomendations?
  • Not super grungey but definitely alternative, give Band of Skulls a look. Especially the first 3

    Muse has a variety of genres of music among their discography. My favourites are earlier on but you may find some vibes in there that are to your liking.

    What field do you work in?
  • It is pretty crazy people were able to figure that all out and we are able obtain crazy detailed pictures without radiation.

    No I haven't seen it! Hoping to see a controlled quench someday but also hoping to avoid needing to use it in any emergency situations; it'll have to be a damn near life/death situation to hit that button. Very costly decision. I guess there's also a dwindling supply of helium in the world so that could get interesting as time goes on.

  • Now that Halo is dead, which game deserves the title of "Halo killer"?
  • I'm not sure if another game killed Halo so much as it imploded on itself, sadly. Maybe whatever game made the open world blueprint popular? But honestly, Guardians wasn't great either and it wasn't open world.

    I think it's more the culture of gaming now a days than anything. Everyone likes the free to play mulitplayer shit, or did and companies won't let it go. A solid campaign goes to the wayside when they have to concentrate on the multiplayer to rake in the $$$. Halo had the best of both worlds, and now it has nothing, it really lost it's spark.

    That said I still enjoyed Guardians more than Infinite, just needed more Chief. Infinite went a little too off the Halo rails.

    But I guess that's how most things end up in the end. Hold onto the great memories.

  • What field do you work in?
  • It's science-y enough but I'm definitely not considered a scientist so much as a technologist. I work as a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Technologist. Previously a X-Ray Technologist.

    My machine does all the science for me but it's a pretty neat concept. Using magnetic gradients and RF pulses at hydrogen protons to acquire accurate digital imaging.

    For one thing, it seemed that the world was thinner than she had ever imagined.

    And reality wider.
