  • The real question to ask here: is that a body cast, or a mannequin?

  • What do you honestly hate about work itself?

  • There's an argument to be made here in/around the area of cleanliness (I agree on the other points). I once worked somewhere that someone left toe-nail clippings in the nursing room, and the restroom floor under the urinals was an perpetual and inexhaustible puddle of piss. It's hard to say if the responsible parties did this because they felt at home, or felt very much the opposite.

    It's things like this that make managers sanitize their speech and say naive "treat this place like you live here" mandates, as though they've never met someone that lives like a feral raccoon, nor understand that such edicts can elicit a rebellious response.

  • 1984: Brand-new Megatron transformer was wrapped and under the tree. Unwrapping that and seeing the box, then pulling the toy out, was a level of joy unrivaled for a long time to come.

    I broke that shit in 45 minutes. (so did a lot of other kids)

    Zero regrets.

  • Shaxs is a menace.

    Also: I feel seen. Thank you.

  • Geordi: Data, do you know of a good place to test this counterfit phaser rifle we got off the Romulans?

    Data: I believe main engineering has the requisite dimensions to test at an optimal range, right in front of the warp core.

    Geordi: Great idea!

    Data: Also, I will need to be holding the test target, in order to monitor the experiment.

  • Just hose it down with tachyons, I dunno. That usually works.

  • Windows, with it's numerable AI and cloud integrations, has morphed itself into a "Sloperating System" and I refuse to call it anything else.

  • GERD sufferer here. Only 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 are viable. Back-sleeping is doable, but only if reclined. The othes equal poor rest and a painful day to follow.

  • What wisdom from someone else has stuck with you?

    Jump

  • I get the approach here, but unfortunately, this is impressively hard to do without a (fiscal) safety net.

    I agree that it is wise to push out panic-inducing thoughts; mindfulness and all that. That's not always possible when professional failure equates unemployment and the possible crippling poverty that follows. In my experience, employers do a garbage job at pointing out where the guardrails are, and what the bar is for dismissal, going as far as refusing to put anyone on a PIP before letting them go. Many people are in countless pressure-cookers like this, perpetually on the edge of their seats if they're paying any attention at all.

    From all that I take this advice to boil down to: Practice mindfulness, ease, and inner-peace, especially when the shit hits the fan. You can't control the consequences, but you'll recover better if you keep your head.

  • Yeah, all I know are the occasional bits and pieces that wash up here on Lemmy. I knew he was bad news, but I didn't know he was a trumper. Wow.

  • IMO: pack as much of your day with "active novelty" as you can. Even if it's small stuff.

    Kids experience time more slowly because everything is new to them. As adults, much of our world becomes familiar and, frankly, forgettable. It's the lack of newness that lets time just pass by in our minds since the day's memories get pruned to hell, letting entire days just get black-holed.

    So my advice is do more than just touch grass; live life fully. Don't just follow your favorite streaming programs, engage with other fans. Get out and join a club. Go to more parks, museums, live shows, craft fairs, summer festivals. Invest in the people in your life. Host and attend more movie nights, cocktail mixers, holiday parties. Listen to new music, listen to new podcasts, read new books. Double-down on hobbies or take on new ones. Finish projects on that todo list. Engage with nostalgia, but mix it up with new things too. Find new challenges and try new things to make sure that is or isn't for you.

  • Some times, the old ways are best.

    Eh, I didn't have to get every last set, but the ones that were too rusted/gunked to work... yeah. I'm almost a contortionist and some of those were complete bastards to install. Everywhere the Makita didn't fit, yeah, hand-cramp city.
