Not having access to publicfreakouts here has probably improved my health. One community I wish was stronger here is idiotsincars. The only subreddits I still read are askcarsales, justrolledintotheshop, and idiotsincars because I do not see them moving to a different platform anytime soon. I don’t mind them being on reddit because they are good communities. Kind of stinks though because I don’t participate there anymore. I still check them once or twice a day like I am trying to do with Lemmy to reduce my exposure to bullshit.

This is a new found perspective I’ve been trying to act on and it keeps me “happy” in the sense of being content. SSRIs helped me come out of a dark place and find that baseline and appreciate that what I have is just fine. I’ve been off them for a good 4-5 months now and have been able to keep acting on this perspective. Reducing the amount I drink and smoke has also really helped me stay at baseline. I was not consuming these things with my best interest in mind. I am better off only having these things in my home for special events.

I’ve got my little place to live, my cat, my little hobbies, and I go on my daily little walk. That’s just fine and enough to be content. I’m comfortable and don’t need much more. I don’t really need to search for bliss all the time. I’ll save that for a concert, food festival, hanging out with good friends, playing a new game, etc.

Third Year Letterman was right. These things are just imported golf carts.

Do you guys still play block dude on the Texas Instruments calculators?

I’ll never be interested in shorts type videos and would like the general view 30 day removal of shorts to also apply to the subscription view. It seems like bad design to only have the removal apply to the general view.

Oh it was that kind of poo…

I mean poop is pretty funny.

No jackets. My school was using a wing of a building under construction as additional classrooms and you had to take a bus from the main building. In the winter you could not wear or carry your jacket around prior to your class in this building, so you had to spend your passing time visiting your locker to pick up your jacket and hope you make it to the bus in time to not be late to your class. The school was not small so I was frequently late or didn’t wear a jacket.

I’m seeing a technical death metal and brutal death metal show at a tiny venue that has 90s WWE on the bar TV and serves $3 beers. The kind of place where you are 2 feet from the musicians. Defeated Sanity from Germany and Stabbing from Texas are at the top of the bill. Two others at the bottom I have not heard yet.

It’s gonna be done in 20 minutes. Come over.

I’m cooking a pork roast to eat this week and I’m going to a concert next week. I also just bought a 15 pack of beer. Amazing things happening over here.

I haven’t noticed that yet. A lot of the goop is from decayed duckweed and poo debris getting jammed near the impeller. Might take 3-6 months for the impeller to get stopped by the goop. Vaseline isn’t a very good long term lubricant for aquarium impellers because you’ll open it up a week or two after being applied and sometimes it will be gone (probably sucked out and globbed somewhere else inside the filter). Really good temporary solution though.

I use it after cleaning the impeller on my aquarium filters. They naturally collect goop around the magnet bit of the impeller which makes them quiet, but eventually there will be too much goop and they stop spinning or make a horrible racket. If you clean it off all the way it will buzz and rattle for a while. A big blob of vaseline will quiet it down until the goop builds back up.

OSRS high level PvM or deep wild pking.

My relative lived in the bush with their cats for like 40 years without internet. I’m not sure they had ever used it before or even knew how to, so I think that made it easier. Just had a land line and antenna TV.

Moved back and had a hard time figuring out why the doctors wanted to contact by email. Figured out how to use GPS via Android Auto pretty quickly. Internet shopping wasn’t mastered.

I found an HP SFF for like $60 at the thrift store with a 4th gen i5 and it was kitted out with more ram and a 250gb SDD. Perfect HTPC for what I do. I was shopping NUCs too.

There are certanly a lot of very not nice places in the city. You probably don’t want to be walking around them after midnight, but there is also no reason to be in these places at night as a visitor.

The downtown area is relatively safe (some recent gun clown activity in nightlife areas but it’s the USA after all) and populated.

The city has come a long way since the bankruptcy in 2013. It had been struggling for decades before this too. Industry and population leaving the city for the suburbs. The stereotype comes from this and it’s hard to move on from because the city stil hasn’t even though it’s made some big steps.

It’s not a perfect city but having basic street smarts you would use in any other city will keep you out of trouble.

Is the manual search interface and experience better on Prowlarr? I don’t really need the automation part from Sonarr/Radarr but the mega search on Jackett is really useful for me.

I got rate limited in 25 minutes by refreshing my Following feed and reading about people getting rate limited. I don’t think it counts 600 unique tweets since I definitely reloaded the same tweets multiple times.

Most of my Reddit commenting was done on threads for people looking for advice in one of my hobbies. I generally had a good experience giving feedback here since most people in the subreddit were level headed. Sometimes you got the occasional asshole parroting the usual online “best way to do something” that goes against some people’s actual real life experience that is being shared.

I didn’t really make any meaningful (non joke) comments outside of this subreddit since I didn’t feel like getting some dick in my notifications trying to start a fight over whatever I posted. Sometimes I didn’t mind battling the dicks in the hobby subreddit since people lurking can actually learn or get a different perspective from “No, you shouldn’t take what’s in a listicle as fact. Here is my experience with this.”
