galaxi,

I wish I could be that cat. Fluffy. Peaceful. Wind blowin in my fur.

YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee.

Ghee, or Indian-style clarified butter, is butter that's been simmered and the milk solids (proteins and sugars) skimmed off. This leaves a clear yellow oil that doesn't smoke when it's heated and doesn't go rancid quickly, but has a distinct toasty butter flavor....

galaxi,

Someone's speaking from experience..

I spilt coffee all over my keyboard this morning and it’s all sticky, since it didn’t break can I just pour water on it to help the stickiness?

I know that sounds like a stupid ass question. I have the Logitech wireless mx keys. I wiped the keyboard down so the surface of the keys aren’t sticky, just hard to press down and some have a spasm....

galaxi,

Maybe rubbing alcohol? It's a solvent. Ideally you'd want to pull the battery etc. while doing this and try to tip it so the coffee gets diluted by the alcohol and then carried out as the solution drips off. I've seen JayzTwoCents clean other computer parts with alcohol baths. I'd try something like 70-90%. I might just be talking out my ass though. But that's what I would try if I was determined to try to fix it without taking it apart. :p Make sure it has time to dry before using it.

galaxi,

Instantly transported to stray. But also, wow those colors. And the couple, so cute how happy they are. I wish I was there. I love this.

This community makes giving up Reddit much easier

One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but...

galaxi,

Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I've been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings... It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It's really good vibes here so far, I'm looking forward to more posts as people join.

galaxi,

Goodbye, filament money! Good grief do big prints chew through supply.

galaxi,

You know, I honestly can't remember. Maybe google? I sent it to a loved one a while ago. They are really common though! They might not all have the same words on them, but they all follow a similar structure. I believe it's used to treat symptoms like alexithymia or childhood neglect. I remember learning about this concept in the book "Running on Empty" by Jonice Webb. She provides a list of feelings and recommends checking in with oneself often to see how they feel so it becomes second-nature. Glad you liked it!

galaxi,

I love the idea of going out and having tasty drinks with friends without the pressure of needing to be intoxicated. Think of it this way - if alcohol was the only reason people were going to bars, why even have cocktails to cover up the taste of it? To me it seems to fall very much in line with the other trends of society lately, like with bubbly fruity waters or healthier versions of soda. I've seen more and more people abstaining from alcohol for reasons beyond addiction. Wanting to be healthier and live life without a hangover, taking care of their bodies, challenging social norms of what's considered fun, replacing alcohol intoxication with other kinds, trying to connect in more authentic ways.

Personally I find myself drawn to these new ways of living too, and even though I still drink on occasion, I feel a lot better when I don't and I'm glad there are alternatives that are all-in (rather than just ordering a soda at the bar).

galaxi,

It's unfortunate that tildes is invite-only. I also secretly wish they would federate their website with us somehow, but I guess we can't have everything. :p

galaxi,

I've had some good times journaling, but it's been hard for me to start up as a regular practice. I never know what to write about. Do you have any suggestions from your own experience on what to focus on for someone that's just getting started?

galaxi,

I would love this as well!!

galaxi,

Mr. Robot. I didn't realize that they had added two more seasons since I last watched it. It's been a great watch with all the big internet shifts lately.

Coping with childhood neglect and isolation

I am one of six children. Our childhoods were characterised by neglect and isolation. My mother has cronic fatigue syndrome, yet she took it upon herself to "homeschool" all of us. This led to extreme isolation, as my parents were on the fringes of society, and we children occupied a space on the fringe-of-the-fringes. There was...

galaxi,

You may see yourself as behind in socialization, career, education, but that's only if that's how you measure yourself. It isn't going to be easy to have the same life financially, I understand, but that doesn't mean you're devoid of experience. If you knew that the worth of yourself and everyone else was measured in experience and the strength it takes to get through that, then you'd be rich. Don't discount yourself for your differences. I can relate to feeling left out as well, but I promise that there are gifts that come with that. Like a zebra hating its stripes because it doesn't look like the other horses. But it's so beautiful in its own way! To say you wish you didn't go through the life you have so far is to make judgments about who you are now and assumptions about the incredible you that you'll one day be. We don't know the future, so it doesn't help to make assumptions about it. After all, we couldn't paint a wonderful piece of art without a blank canvas, and that's what the road ahead of you is. The normal people with normal lives and normal hobbies may seem happy at times, but they might not have the richness of experience, depth of emotion, compassion, and other gifts that might be hiding in you that helped bring you to where you are today. They don't get the blank canvas to work with that you do. And that's okay. 👍

You should feel proud of yourself for the steps you've taken so far. Seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist is huge!! A lot of people might be afraid to do even that! Go you! I hope you can give yourself a bit more understanding as you've been through a lot, and try to have more patience. It helps to find a friend who doesn't judge you, or is even curious about your differences. Or keep posting online and interacting here. Maybe you'll run into more people with similar experiences. I think some people from mormon or other religious households or cults have had similar experiences and post online about how hard it's been to adapt to the rest of the world. Finding people who accept you the way you are will go a long way to helping you feel more accepting of yourself (something you can also work on even on your own too). I'm rooting for you. ❤️

galaxi,

PETG is truly a pain!! You'd think with a plastic used in water bottles, it would do better with moisture. I recommend the brand CC3D if you want something reliable (and ultra cheap!) Also remember that PETG needs more room between the nozzle and the build plate (higher z offset) so that the filament doesn't stick to the nozzle and make a mess :)

List of important resources and hotlines for getting help

Hello! Thanks for browsing our community. While our goal is providing advice, a listening ear, suggestions or another look at your relationships, there are many situations that are above the capabilities of a Lemmy community: potentially abusive or violent behavior, deep personal issues that can't be shared online, immediate...

galaxi,

Thanks for sharing that resource. I've been doing a lot of self-help lately too but still found myself especially weighed down today. The website was really straightforward and had friendly, simple advice, which was relieving.

galaxi,

That's not a printer. That's furniture. 😃
