  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • At 41 I’m surprised by how much more self confident I have become. I still remember what it felt like being the insecure girl I was in high school, but it’s so obvious to me now that the things I was afraid of then were silly. I wish I had worried less and enjoyed life more back then, but I’m glad I have come as far as I have. I wonder when I look back in another 25 years if I’ll feel just as foreign to myself at 41.

  • Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway

    Jump

  • It’s entirely about self identification. There’s no gender policing, they just kindly ask people who start their comments with phrases like “as a man…” or “not a woman, but…” to refrain from further commenting. They don’t even delete the comments unless the guy keeps going. Even still, inevitably if the post reaches the front page all the women in the comments will be drowned out by highly upvoted “as a man…” commenters. They just want to have a conversation without being shouted over.

  • The rice paper can get a little soggy and the noodles turn kind of hard/chewy like refrigerated rice. Still edible but definitely much better at room temperature and eaten within a few hours.

  • how do you manage to go through and play a game?

    Jump

  • If you’re a procrastinator it can help to use that “skill” to incentivize stuff like reading. I habitually put off going to sleep, so I’ll read as a way to delay bedtime. If I want to avoid working on a big ongoing frustrating project at work I’ll do a bunch of little work tasks to put it off. Using that desperation to do literally anything else to avoid a particular task kind of feels like a superpower!

  • how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl

    Jump

  • It will never be exactly the same, but I feel lucky to have found something that captures at least part of the feeling of what Reddit used to be like. There’s the potential for it to grow into something just as cool in its own way, or maybe even better. And for now, it scratches that culture and discussion itch well enough that I don’t feel the need to wade back in to Reddit at all except for searching for specific answers to niche questions.

  • Charlie Kirk in his own words. Half of the United States is paying tribute to this man.

    Jump

  • Do you understand your opponent’s argument well enough to phrase it in words they would agree with? Because this seems like a gross mischaracterization that leads me to think you’re either ignorant of why someone would be happy he’s dead, or you’re deliberately lying.

    So give it a try… why would a rational person actually be glad Kirk is dead? You can disagree with the reasons, but if you can’t even ARTICULATE them, I’d argue you’re the one who is either an idiot or a psychopath.

  • If the concern is about the longevity and reputation of the quack institution, you could point her to a woo factory with accreditation and a better reputation among the crystal crowd, like Naropa in Boulder, CO.

  • Good point

  • My earphones' cable has been oozing sticky goo for over a year now

  • If it’s leaking from the inside, it may be that the polymer never properly cured and is still liquid on the interior. You could try returning it as defective, or just shell out for a new cable

  • Default juice… so white grape? The juice they use to water down every other type of juice with a discernible flavor so they can still call it “100% juice”?

    Fuck you I want to taste the guava. Fuck your fucking grapes.

  • I’ve never broken a bone, but I did get a dislocated elbow once when I was quite young, maybe 2 or 3. I was a dumb stubborn kid who threw a tantrum in the middle of a street and my mom had to grab me by the arm and drag me to safety. I fought her so hard I dislocated my elbow. I’m not sure if a leash would have made that situation more manageable, but I wouldn’t have blamed my parents for trying it. Sometimes kids go through a feral animal phase and you just have to deal with it however you can.

  • How can I convince people to adopt municipal fiber?

    Jump

  • I can vouch for Longmont municipal fiber. Blazing fast, and the price is locked in at $50 per month for life. We’ve never had an outage. There are absolutely no downsides, it has even forced Comcast to improve their own infrastructure and pricing in the area to compete.

  • Made by, or made of?

    Jump

  • I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

  • Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

    Jump

  • So accurate.

  • Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

    Jump

  • For me? Usually it’s because answering the first question on the list took a lot of time, research, or mental energy and I had forgotten there were other questions by the time I finally had the answer written down. Sense of accomplishment, hit send.

  • Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

    Jump

  • Yep. Basically you need to respect their time, and not ask them to duplicate the work you’ve already done. This is especially important for executives, but works well on anyone… if you really need someone to do a thing or answer a question, make it easy for them to focus on completing your ask.

    Address the email to one person who you need action from.

    Tell them succinctly:

    Why is this important?

    What do you need from them right now?

    After that, preemptively provide the answers to any followup questions they might ask - give them further context so they don’t have to dig for it. Don’t ask them to read a whole email string below if you can summarize it.
