Out of curosity, how was the weather in your end of the world? We had the same thing happen this year, but mostly because it was unseasonably warm.

Granted, it was also 'cause we had a fog machine this year, but the weather played a big part.

I have two spots on the other side of the country, that I haven't seen in almost twenty years, that still serve this function if trying to calm myself down. One is a waterfall in what was then a very lush patch of forest. Another is a quiet bay surrounded by pine trees.

If I'm having a rough time, more likely than not I'm slowing down my breathing and visualizing one of these places.

This is an excellent example to pull if you ever want to talk about memetic warfare as a concept.

Two choices:

  1. Medical mask and sunglasses (preferably those boxy ones people wear over regular glasses). Few people question medical masks these days.
  2. Embrace the lunacy, and wear whatever mask/facial covering you think is cool/funny. Life's short and a lot of people would do well to embrace harmless weirdness.

Frame it in a cheap glass case with a little placard that says "Break glass in case of cereal emergency"

IIRC, sh.itjust.works refederated with hexbear several months ago. I just don't think the userbase engages in a lot of those communities.

Then again, I browse by All New pretty frequently, and I've never seen a hexbear post that way that I can recall. So idk.

I feel like there's WAY more of a story here - why on earth would a bunch of folks think you hacked them just because you have a commonish, if esoteric sounding, skill set? - but if you'd rather leave it there that's cool.

I've been working from home for almost 5 years now, and to be honest it drives me nuts. I kinda miss people, thus the bar. Not exactly the healthiest social outlet, to be fair, but I like it more than staying home.

Boo! Go to a bar and ask someone weird questions! You might get cornbread, who knows?

Raising one to you my friend - I know how tough it is to connect with people after moving sometimes. 👊

 

I write this with homemade maple jalapeno cornbread in my mouth, gifted to me by the bar staff at my local pub this evening. This is simultaneously the best and most unexpected thing I've ever brought home from a bar, my significant other excepted.

This got me thinking: what is the weirdest thing you've brought home from the bar, Lemmy?

Someone got really drunk and was in the bathroom willing to take all comers at a work function.

It was a shame, I liked working with them.

She has a husband, you know...

This is close enough. Thank you!

 

For those who might ask "What does that even mean?", this is what I'm reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/

Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y'all might say.
