Can confirm. There are SO MANY people in my life who I’m like “you’re just so cool.” People who might not consider themselves the prettiest, the smartest, the trendiest, the most intelligent… Etc. but each of those people fucking SHINE to me in a way that is so truly irreplaceable and THEM. I try and say it whenever I have it, but there are many people I just never get the chance to say it to.

One that stands out is this girl in my class at college back in the early 2000s. Random girl, I worked with her on one project, but something about how she inspired and motivated me has stuck with me for 20 years. I’ve made decisions and changes in my life because of her, and she has no clue that she’s a pivotal and incredible power in my world to this day.

This is you to someone. I guarantee it.

I spend an hour or so on Lemmy a day and other than the bad bad ones (the ones named to attract predators etc) I have no clue what all the instances are. I see lemmy.ml and assume it’s just a lesser used main instance.

So, no judgement from me.

Thank you! Appreciate the hard work!

Discord user of 5 years, use it daily, I’ve had the update for a week or more, and I’m still fumbling with buttons to find what I’m looking for. It’s really badly done.

I do something creative that lets a little secret part of me out. Those things I feel guilty enjoying (because I feel like I’m not good enough at them to do it, like singing or painting). It’s like a little special indulgence that also reminds me that I’m pretty cool.

What’s your secret hobby?

36k karma on mine, haven’t logged in for months. Just did and I got the invite.

They’re desperate yo.

This is insane.

I do however want to segue into an idea I had for a new doorbell. Basically when you press the button, instead of immediately ringing inside the house, a pre recorded voice asks a series of questions. Then, AI analyzes the answers against your set of rules and determines if the person is allowed to be interrupting you. Imagine a sales person ringing your doorbell and getting you asking "hey what’s this about? Is she expecting you?’ And then declining to ring the doorbell and asking them to leave. My cats would be thrilled.

I came in via the support track, my advice would be to gather generalist skills like writing documents, editing spreadsheets, maintaining databases, etc. Once you get your foot in the door with that, grind hard to master all the systems a company uses, and keep expanding that software portfolio. Also look at automation software like Zapier that can bridge the gap between them (make them talk to each other). Operations is a great stepping stone from support, and there will always be a need for the person keeping it all going.

I feel like this is the standard answer for everything that makes cats react. That being said, prank them gently and in moderation as you would a friend or yourself.

He did sniff it and ask for brushies after so I don’t think he was too upset with it.

I’ve had my boy cat since he was six weeks old, and I know his foster momma (and bio momma!) and there’s zero reason for this, but he’s terrified of men too! So, while it could be trauma from an event, she might also just be a fearful derp.

Two glasses of wine, three cats, and a night of giggling at the TV with my husband.

My company had a feedback meeting (wasn’t planned, but the staff are just that fed up), and it was spicy. We’ve not received pay reviews, management never let us give them feedback, people feel demotivated and unheard.

The CEO’s solution? A new ‘cameras always on’ policy. SMH

Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.

In the UK I had to do around 20 lessons, you got to take your test only when your instructor decided you were ready. And you had to have passed a theory test within the last three months I believe. The test was an hour of various maneuvers and questions. I passed on my second attempt. This was twenty years ago.

Then I moved to the US and it was a 5 minute drive around a car park while the test lady complained about her menopausal symptoms, and then “I can tell you can drive” and I passed.

I hate this. And I hate the constant message from everything and everyone that we need to be constantly growing, learning, improving. It just makes you feel like you’re never good enough, and when you get to good enough, there’ll be a new level of good enough you haven’t reached yet.

Can’t I just enjoy who I currently am??!

Love you for this.

Stories like this remind me of what my husband says about global warming: The world is not being trashed, it’s just being rearranged in a way that is not conducive to life.
