For me, the small politeness words are not “thank you”, “sorry”, or “good morning”. They’re “maybe”, “I think”, “perhaps”, “I don’t know”. I respect honest doubt way, way more than I respect dishonest = rushed certainty, and I wish I saw more of that.
Be prepared to welcome Discordfugees in the same fashion as the Redditfugees.
Yerba mate: coarse milling, radioactive green. 75°C water. No sugar; sometimes I add some peppermint, but that’s it.
Coffee, homemade: black, no sugar. Neither too strong nor too weak, at least for local standards.
Coffee, when going out: either cheap coffee with a small drop of milk, or a good espresso or machiato. In uni times I used to drink half-and-half, with cinnamon and brown sugar, but that’s because my former uni’s cafeteria’s coffee was awful.
I barely drink tea proper (Camelia sinensis), but I’m often drinking other teas - hibiscus, ginger, chamomile, peppermint.
Props for the dev. In fact because of these news I went to check their games out and find a good free one, Viridi; you build a succulents pot. Basically small version of my succulents/cactuses garden.
By “attack animation” I mean that you’d cast, say, exori flam, and the game would draw a fireball over the enemy.
I think attacks are the only thing seriously animated there. And by “seriously” I mean five frames or so. It was fun, though, at least back then. (The game still exists, but I can’t find it fun any more.)
It could be worse, #1: when my nephew was 4, I built him a house in Minecraft creative mode. And then I hid a lot of TNT below the house; they’d be triggered by the pressure plate near the door. (inb4 it’s common to put a pressure plate near doors in Minecraft, so they open automatically.) He entered the house, and “tttssssssBBOOOOOMMM!”. He started crying. My sister (his mum) was nearby, and begun laughing, then the kid got to cry harder. I wanted to surprise the kid, not to scare him! (Thankfully I kept a copy of the world before rigging the house with TNT. As I loaded the copy he calmed down.)
It could be worse, #2: when I was 16, one of my cousins was 8. I was into a game we mocked as “Paint Online” (Tibia, a MMO). He was learning the ropes of the game, barely out of the beginners’ island. Some random afternoon, he phones me, crying: “[my nickname]!!! HELP MEEEEE!!! I lost my worms, I lost my fishing rod, I lost EVERYTHING!!!”. He died in the game, lost his items, and he was literally crying! I had to stop everything I was doing, log into the game, get a fishing rod + a full stack of worms from my depot, some random food, and give to the kid. Otherwise he would not leave me bloody alone.
Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
Yeah, nah. At least where I live, the 90s kid would be saying (in Portuguese) “Ô tio! Teu cu que vou pagar mico lendo aquela bagaça!”. Or roughly “Hey boomer fr fr I’m not reading that skibidi, it’s cringe shit”.
Minimise contact, stand your ground, don’t give him any bargaining chip against you, get people on your side, and watch out for people who might enable his behaviour.
How you do those things is up to you, because they depend a lot of different factors.
A simple lunch in family, with some chocolate gifts for everyone. Afternoon was some people eating sweets and talking, some napping, and my nephew playing Roblox games. Myself barely did anything, it was mostly my sister (she brought an already baked fish from her home) and my mum (roasting some vegs).
Translation; mostly between Portuguese, Italian, English.
Self-employment is a bit of a mixed blessing. It requires some discipline handling time and money, as well as flexibility - dealing with the fact that some months you’ll get barely any income, and in others you’ll feel overworked as fuck. You won’t deal with a shitty boss, but with a plethora of shitty clients (and some really great ones).
I’m self-employed. As such the idea of day on/off work can get really messy for me; some days I work a single hour and then drink booze, some days I work 16h straight. It depends on work availability + my mood.
Days when I don’t work at all typically involve cooking, taking care of my pets, napping, watching anime, reading some random junk.
I really want a search that works like this.
and, not, or. They’re well documented, users can easily see how to use them, and they apply to groups of search terms or individual search terms as the user wants.Make it predictable. Make it procedural. Make it so users can actually find what they requested, instead of your assumptions / bullshit over what they want.
It’s kind of the opposite - the IPA gives you an unambiguous written representation for each sound, while OP is making an unambiguous sound for each letter.
So for example, let’s say that you keep misspelling ⟨cache⟩ as ⟨cash⟩. Inside your head you memorise “⟨cache⟩ is spelled like [katʃe]”, then next time you need to write the word you’ll be less likely to write ⟨cash⟩ instead.
Yeah, behaviour-wise Lemmy has been going downhill the last years. For me at least it’s still way better than Reddit, but it’s different for each person. And I think that you’re doing the sensible thing here - it’s affecting you negatively, so you step back and take a break.
Everytime I post stuff I just end up with an inbox that I’ve got to go through and just get more and more depressed and deflated.
Ah, the “orange icon syndrome”. I know how it’s like.
Take care.
They got enough power to do it, uh. Other unis get rek’t.

Tell me that you’re from Oz without saying that you crack tins.
Serious now, I do something similar with chickpeas instead of beans. Plus some pork butt - it goes great with both kale and peppers!

Jokes aside pink beet soup is awesome. Specially with boiled eggs + rye bread.
My sis, BIL, and nephew consistently visit us (my mum and me) every weekend, so we all have a meal together, but there’s a catch - we never know if they’re coming for Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch. So Saturday afternoon I’m going to prepare boeuf bourguignon, since it gets tastier once reheated - if they come Sat or Sun that’s what they’re going to eat, then we just need to buy some fresh bread and it’s done. Bonus points that my BIL loves wine stews.
Beyond that it’s all about preparing myself for travelling Tuesday. Going to visit an 80yo aunt, just to check how things are going with her.
might as well share the stew recipe here
This is for four people, and I’d rather have some leftovers, so I’ll probably scale it up a wee bit.
If it were just for me I’d serve it with creamy polenta, but knowing my folks it got to be bread and rice.
On the roux: it’s 1cs flour + 1cs butter. I simply add the butter to a non-sticky pan, let it melt under the lowest fire possible, add the flour, and keep stirring constantly.
