  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?

  • I watched Supernatural one or two seasons too long. The first five were great all around and then it got weird.

  • I am pretty sure your best bet to get something that is roses scented but is non-toxic would be creating a tincture vegetable glycerin with roses. Take dried rose pedals and let them sit in the sun for 4-6 weeks immersed in vegetable glycerin which should impart roses smells and other rose components into the vegetable glycerin. I haven't done it myself but it is suppose to do some extractions of the compounds.

    You will be extracting the essential oils and all other compounds from the rose pedals into the glycerin but in lower concentrations than a pure essential oil. (Also depending on the essential oil will have a broader range of compounds depending on how they made it)

  • [PSA] If things start feeling too toxic around here, remember that the 'block' button is your friend and always there for you.

  • I have blocked a few communities which I have really enjoyed. I think there is definitely a different but freeing experience to be in charge of curating your experience instead of algorithms doing it for you. It's more work but the freedom is nice but making the constant choice feels hard.

  • Everyone has a different criteria to "win" in this game called life. People just assume that everyone is playing the same game with the same rules so start judging people on these criteria. People usually set it up so they are "winning" and others are "losing". So play your own game and judge yourself by your own criteria. If you feel you are doing good (which I think you are) stay the path. Don't listen to what others think of you.

  • The Expert Who Kept Eye Drops From Blinding You Was Fired Yesterday

  • Want to see something sad look at the divorce rate for women who are diagnosed with cancer. Its so common that most doctors and support groups talk about it after the diagnosis. So I am not surprised but still disgusted.

  • What are your flirting techniques?

    Jump

  • Here is my favorite technique:

    "First treat a woman like a person, then a princess, then a Greek goddess, then a person again." -Shawn (Psych)

    Treating some like a person first is really the most important thing. Everything else is optional but people like to be treated special for a while before being a person again.

  • Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot

    Jump

  • This makes a lot of sense because as we have been seeing over the last decades or so is that digital only socialization isn't a replacement for in person socialization. Increased social media usage shows increased loneliness not a decrease. It makes sense that something even more fake like ChatGPT would make it worse.

    I don't want to sound like a luddite but overly relying on digital communications for all interactions is a poor substitute for in person interactions. I know I have to prioritize seeing people in the real world because I work from home and spending time on Lemmy during the day doesn't fulfill.

  • Exactly. Dating apps just digitally what people used to do in meat space. Casual dating has always been common and there has always been a point that it becomes "Exclusive" or monogamous.

    Its better and healthy than being serial monogamy where you jump from serious commitment to serious commitment.

  • There are a lot of discussions about polyamory which is all valid. That usually means for more serious relationships. However, I would like to point out that casually dating multiple people is very common and has been for a while. Especially early in a relationship this was always a thing. There have been multiple names over time about this "going steady", "exclusive", "boyfriend / girlfriend", "pinning" etc. which has gone back decades.

    If you look there was a lot of parents of teens from the 50s complaining that their son/daughter was only dating a single woman/guy. So take that into account

  • Get your new PebbleOS watch

    Jump

  • I always feel nervous preordering anything. I got a new Fitbit so I think I have some time before it fails so I can see how this rePebble works out. If it is as good as it looks I might just get it. 30 day estimated battery life is amazing

  • I like Minnesota Progressives anyway

    I have been a big fan since its less confrontation and quieter than either coastal politics or southern politics. Its boring and effective

  • He is definitely not an appealing to conservative candidate except for being white and not super young (He is 60).

    But look at what Minnesota did under his governorship was all simple none flashy midwestern progressive values. Free school lunches, trans refuge status, abortions rights into law (as well as a supreme court case), funding for schools and legal weed. He is a progressive just not very flashy about it.

  • I think the goofy dad demeanor is truly authentic and is disarming enough to get people to like him. Also I really enjoy his fisher stories where he tells the truth but makes it a little bigger or tuned to the audience. Since truth does not seem to matter anymore why not bend it a little bit
