Why are laundromats sexy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (6 children)

In my town, junkies hang out at the laundromat begging for money. The cops show up regularly and haul them off. I saw prostitutes outside of it once, too

Had half my face ripped off my a dog when I was a kid. Doctors put me back together incredibly well and people can't tell anything happened. I got super lucky. I almost lost my right eye and could have been super disfigured if one of the best pediatric plastic surgeons hadn't happened to be in town that day.

Worst part was spending the entire summer inside and not being allowed to do many fun things. Got bit right as summer vacation started. I had a prosthetic tearduct until mine grew back and I had to be extra careful because it could come out easily. I also had a gazillion stitches.

I'm 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?

Love this excuse to share a pic of the most beloved member of my flock. Antonio. When he is raising ducklings, we call him Big Papa Tony

My route to where I volunteer at keeps getting blocked at night by construction. Guess they decided night time was the best time to repave the roads? There is the same amount of traffic at both times

Almost nine gigabytes in size: Windows update 24H2 creates an undeletable cache file in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

Part of my job is keeping all of the endpoints my work manages up to date with patch compliance. I've had to create exceptions for the past two windows 11 updates because they won't run on most machines for no reason. It's been a pain in the ass. I can't just add the machines to the exception list without doing basic troubleshooting because "procedure" and I've spent so much time doing absolutely unnecessary shit.

That doesn't change the fact that doggy-dog is incorrect.

Does anyone else here have lupus? Just got diagnosed and I am really scared/upset (lemmy.world)
 

I got a diagnosis today after trying to figure out what's wrong with me for twenty years. My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I'm 27, and I am terrified I'm going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for the entire time I knew her. I don't want that for myself.

Has anyone here gotten modded, multiplayer Minecraft to work over VPN on the Steamdeck? (lemmy.world)
 

My friend and I want to play modded Minecraft together. We used to use Hamachi when we both had windows machines. Now Hamachi just isn't working. We can connect on the LAN we made, but I can't connect to the direct connection. There aren't any error messages that help. It just says it couldn't connect. I have a steamdeck and my friend has a Windows desktop.

I've done research about it and I am thoroughly lost on what to do. We want to try to do this for free or hella cheap.

Has anyone here encountered this issue and found a workaround or anything?

What brands/styles/types of protective gear do you like for activities that are dangerous? (lemmy.world)
 

Got thrown out of the saddle by a horse today and got mildly fucked up. I want to invest in more protective gear than just a helmet but there's so many options. I want elbow pads and wrist guards definitely because of the bad scrapes and sprains I got. And maybe some kind of vest to protect me from any gut punches the horn of the saddle will give me if the horse tries to throw me again. My stomach has some nice big bruises from the horn.

should I sue my former employer for unlawful termination? (lemmy.world)

Getting therapy for the emotional damage from being unlawfully fired from a job almost two years ago.

There's 3 months left in the statute of limitations. My therapist really thinks I should go after my former employer for this shit.

Idk if I should. I am employed at an amazing place rn and can't really afford time off, but I also want justice for myself and anyone else who got the same treatment I did.

What do y'all think?

What should I paint as murals in my house? (lemmy.world)
 

Considering painting several murals over time. In my bedroom, my home office, and my dining room.

I'm kinda okay at art and love to paint. I'm better at abstract or cartoony shit.

What is your favorite video online? (lemmy.world)
 

Just watched my sick pet duck have a seizure and die while swimming, so I'm really fucked up mentally and want to get my mind off of it.

Want to write a novel-length story and I want to post it somewhere as I write for others to see and enjoy and critique. Idk where to post it though.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

What is an easy instrument to learn? (lemmy.world)
 

My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I'm dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.

Do you like olives? (lemmy.world)
 

I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.

I will die on this hill.

Does anyone else crave fruit juice when it's hot? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I've been craving it like crazy and realized that it's straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.

How do I tell my neighbors that they need to stay off my property and not let their kids trespass. Joke answers only. (lemmy.world)
 

People and their kids like to come over unannounced, and without permission, to look at my ducks like it's the fuckin zoo or some shit.

Need some humor for this situation to ease my frustration

What is a command you accidentally taught your pet? (lemmy.world)
 

My goldendoodle puppy doesn't ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle "go get your sister" as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say "go get your sister" the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.
