my mom left school at 16 due to poverty
never showed much interest in books, music etc
retired last year
has since been reading through all the books I left in boxes at home
her enthusiasm for reading is so pure l feel bad for not enjoying reading that much these days
she kept asking me if I was writing a book and said she could "never do that"
picked up the hint and encouraged her to give it a go, without getting my hopes up
that-feeling-when she sent me a story she wrote about two rabbits who become friends
that-feeling-when it made me cry and feels more honest than anything I've written
How to cope with this feel bros?
l love my mum so much.

in highschool
decide to give the quiet kid a chance, he seems alright
my friend and i approach him
"hey dude yeah wassup u alright"
he has like no one to talk to he gives in
6 months go by, we are talking like usual
since i like to talk to lots of different people, people always come to talk to me
also, since quiet kid has no one he just kinda sticks by me most times
overtime, we talk less; other people see that he is likeable and hang out with him at school
eventually, we stop talking
no problem, my main intention was for him to have friends anyway
fast forward months later
schools ended
check his instagram story
its him and his friends from our old highschool hanging out
see it quite frequently now
proud of him
mission passed, glad that he actually has friends now
Definitely doesn't deserve a permanent ban imo, I don't think they were trying to cause offence.
The modlog says it was the sh.itjust.works automod. The comment content didn't contain any keywords that could have tripped it, so I'm not sure why it would have been set off. Maybe the automod is set to permanently ban recently created accounts that have a significant number of downvotes.
Maybe Boost doesn't display that it's been removed? When a comment is removed, Lemmy stills sends the content of the comment to the frontend - it's up to your client to not display the content. The comment is definitely gone on the website frontend.
I didn’t remove it; the instance admins (the modlog says “automod”) did. They also got permanently banned from sh.itjust.works, apparently. I personally don’t think it was that bad - it sounds more like misunderstanding or ignorance than intent to cause offense. You’re welcome to look at the modlog to see what it said
It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
I'm aware of this - unfortunately, Lemmy doesn't allow transcription of the post image in this way, as it isn't part of the post body markdown. In Lemmy 0.19.4 or 0.19.5 (I'm not sure which) they added an actual alt_text field to posts for this (see here). Once sh.itjust.works updates to that version, I'll start using that field :D

Dating a blind girl
All of her friends are blind
Love that she holds my arm when we're out
Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself
Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.
Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn't bother me
Love that she doesn't use the internet because it's too much hassle
Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.

Be me, sleep deprived DM, half an hour ago
Get startled by phone ringing
It's one of my players
Me: "Dude, it's midnight, you good?"
Friend: "Yeah yeah, sorry if I woke you.
Could I ask for a favor?"
OhGod HeKilled Someone.gif
Me: "Uh, sure? Shoot."
Friend: "My daughter can't sleep, could you tell a quick story over speakerphone? She loves listening to the recordings of our sessions before bed, but I left my laptop at the office so I can't play them."

Me: "She listens to us to fall asleep?"
Friend: "Yeah, but she really likes your plot and NPC acting bits. She calls you 'dumb dumb mister! Guess Dungeon Master is a bit hard for a preschooler."
Me: "Wow... well, if it will help her sleep, then sure."
Friend: "Thank you! Okay, give me a sec to head back to her room." (pause) "Okay, you're on speaker."
Me: "Hey, [daughters name], it's uncle Anon."
Daughter: (Happy gasp) "Dumb dumb Mister!"
I'veNeverBeenHappierToBeCalledADumbDumb.jpg
Me: "You ready for a story about...(DM IMPROV SKILLS ENGAGE)...the time your daddy and his friends went deep into a cursed temple to save a frost dragon egg?"
Daughter: (Incomprehensible happy squealing noises)
I then proceed to spend nearly 20 min spitballing a story over the phone for the most fascinated little girl until she eventually fell asleep. Friend thanks me for the help and says he'll see me on game night. Lay down in bed, actually feel content and comfortable for once. I should have thanked him.
I am the dumb dumb mister.
The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges and there is more shadow around the eyes.

It says "hot surface do not touch" in full, actually. Braille uses single characters to represent some common letter combinations ("touch" is "t" + "ou" + "ch"). The words "do" and "not" are each contracted to a single letter ("d" and "n" respectively).
My father (who was in the armed forces) once got asked to fetch "the keys to the indoor mortar range"
A common “reason” for why student loans shouldn’t be paid off by the government is that it would be unfair to everyone who has already paid off their student loans.
Italy, Spain and Austria are in purple. “Mixed” means that there was a mix of left and right in various regions of the country.
SponsorBlock automatically skips the entire sponsorship as soon as it starts, so a lot of the time you wouldn’t even know it was there if you didn’t see the green section of the playback bar.
It’s not just for sponsorships, either. You can set it to skip intro animations, reminders to subscribe, self promotion, etc.
