It's Friday so let's be happy!

Hey! I was out driving to the closest shopping area filled with all sorts of shops and restaurants. I tried some delicious chicken fried rice and a refreshing iced coffee, which was really yummy. Later on, I’ll be helping my mum with our family business selling gardening supplies. How about you? How was your day? Can you believe it’s already Friday? Time’s flying by!

Like a really old video

I like going for a punkish aesthetic and I have two ear piercings, nose piercing, and two tattoos on my arms, one that's patterns with some skulls the other one is an anchor with "sink or swim" on it

Just came back from my second appointmemt with the dentist and he just put rubber bands between my molars and oh god it hurts like hell😖

Mods are discussing at the moment, we’ll create a poll in the coming days.

Pyramids are fucking kids toys compared to this shit.

It's freeing in a way, I don't have to do any extra processing in my head, and I can just see the posts and comments for what they are. You should try it too!

Similar to yesterday how i posted the men's mental health awareness post?

Mine hit me with the “We're spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

For me, driving. Its not that driving is difficult or i'm just not able to drive. Its that there are just too many awful drivers and pedestrians you have to care about on the road.

While my son played one season of T-ball five years ago, I still consider this his first season playing baseball. In fact, a lot of the players on his team have never played before.

This may sound like an "and then everybody clapped" thing but consider that ultimately if I was to lie I'd come up with something more dramatic 😄

I’ll start. Booked a hotel next weekend via a big blue hotel booing site. Get a phone call today from the accomodation provider asking for payment. Told them to take it via the booking site. They say no, and I will lose my reservation. Booking site says pay the accomodation direct. Go on the accomodation site and I can’t book for the days I wanted. WTF arrrrrgh.

So back when I was in middle school, I used to always wear this hoodie. One time I was sitting down, and this guy behind me started toying with the hood of my hoodie. Pulling on it and stuff. Now I didn't really mind so I just let it happen.

So, as a child, specifically pre puberty or during puberty I was basically in total self isolation and not interested for anything, and I even neglected my hygiene and showered once a week. Well today I'm trying my best to do at least bare minimum and shower every day, or maybe sometimes skip a day. But I still sometimes feel like I am dirty and like I stink no matter how much I clean myself and how much deodorant and parfume I apply. Idk what to do.

Hiya Lemmy, I'm stuck on a dilemma.

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but the idea of a solid food hitting the floor and it suddenly being off-limits is alien to me. I was taking a pill for pain this morning. I dropped it on the floor and picked it up and swallowed it with water anyways, and a classmate I was with had this reaction like I had just eaten a worm. Does it supposedly cause illness or bad luck, because I've never gotten any in all my years...

I've started to use my gyms sauna. For two weeks now I get into the sauna until I can't stand it anymore then go dip into the pool.

If this has been done before, I'd love to see video of a race.

I just remembered that back when YouTube generally used to show you actually related videos in the sidebar sooned or later you'd reach this so-called weird part which was basically an assortment of increasingly unhinged recommendations. It's funny to me that back then that was basically the only time when the algorithm failed to be invisible. But I was also quite young when the weird part of YouTube was a thing so I'd be interested to know if any of you remember specific clips you've seen there and any other details I might not have mentioned. The only videos that seem to have left a lasting impression on me were a 9/11 conspiracy documentary and a slideshow about a horrific, likely fake skin disease.

try using this code do you think it will work?

To me, money isn’t everything. It’d be nice if I got something that cost a lot, but I’d also be fine with something cheap as long as it’s high-quality and not like a Temu ring or something.

I never really understood, but now that that house bill passed that may end up blocking AI regulation from individual States. I get it. I don't like knowing that even if everyone in my state wanted to stop companies from using AI for hiring decisions, we couldn't.

Time to look for a new job ig.

I'm nervous as hell.

Do you believe our society is currently programmed to victim blame or we are already doing the best we can to handle malicious people?

I've listened to a lot of different music over the years. I listen to music so much all day mostly as background noise... I recently moved to a new place, and the neighbor sometimes plays Jazz in the weekends. I seriously open the windows and turn off my own music. Something about it is just soo nice and chill. Something with the vibe, I don't know. The closest genre I listen to similar to Jazz, is Downtempo. Here for reference: Youtube Music | Spotify

About a year ago, I got married. I couldn’t invite everyone from my friend group, so I decided to only invite people I actually spend time with one-on-one outside of group stuff over the past year or two.

The wooden kind

I noticed a lot of people seem to browse by All yet complain there's not much content, whereas I'm browsing by Subscribed and I still feel like there's an unreal amount of content, far more than I could consume even if I was browsing Lemmy Non-Stop all day.

I never take long ones so I'm intrigued

How to get the best Mondays?

Two mystical cats just joined Lemmy. Their goal? To "felinize" the feed.

I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap

A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

Doesn't matter about platform

Ate from there the other day. It was soft and mushy but also flavorful in a way that I missed and it kind of remided me of the burgers they sold at the school cafteria. If I eat burgers I usually eat from smaller places since they have better ingredients and much much better fries, and I don't like giving money to the international megacorp. But those places all make 'fancy' burgers with a meaty patty, toasted buns, fancy sauces/toppings etc. No option to have a thin patty with standard toppings and standard sauces between standard bread..

For as long as I can remember (even dating back to childhood) ive never had a consistent ability to maintain a sleep time. This has resulted in me always being tired. I remember in elementary school over the summer I'd fall asleep at 4am and wake up at 12pm. In high school I would sleep at 4am, wake up at 8:30 for school, then sleep the second half at 4pm when i got home. Earlier this year I was sleeping at 3 in the afternoon until 11pm at night, then I would stay up all night and go to work. Today I fell asleep at 7pm or so and woke up at 2am, just been watching a show and listening to music since then while waiting to get ready for work. Often times if I try and maintain a specific time of sleeping I will roll around for hours awake, or alternatively I will only sleep for a few hours and then fall back asleep later. The longest ive been able to manage a consistent sleep time was in 11th grade, for about 6 months I slept at 11pm but gradually my body started wanting to push later and later. I tend to only get a full 8 hours of sleep one or two nights per week as well, sometimes I'll drink alcohol to help sleep longer but only on a friday or saturday.
