Can’t catch a break

I think my sweater is broken. My reindeer’s head looks like it’s melting.

When there are lots of seats available, I leave my stuff on the seat next to me. If no one is likely to need it, it is nice for me because it is more comfortable and doesn’t bother people around me. (Unlike, for instance, taking off my shoes and letting the smell of my sweaty feet disturb people around me.)
When it’s starting to be slim pickings, I put my stuff on my lap.
I’ve never had a problem when I asked politely if I could sit in the seat where someone kept their stuff. It’s just nice to give people the benefit of the doubt for something like this.
If someone singled me out for this, I would wonder to myself why they chose to direct it at me. Did my RBF strike again? Was it just random chance? Is this part of a scam? Are they a bigot? If I’m getting a full rant for something small and easy to resolve, I do question how far the person will go, since their reaction seems disproportionate. Are they going to escalate further? How much further? Is this person going to follow me when I get off at my stop?

- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 5 days ago:
It’s going to happen to me. When I was homeless, I was a waste to help because I’m doomed. Now that I am decently off with a great career, I am a waste to give anything to, because I have it handled. I have this feeling my parents don’t like me lol.
If that’s the attitude, I don’t think it’s right. If it’s going into a trust or something, to prevent the recipient from harming themselves, I don’t see a problem.

Stanley is a brand that makes things like thermal mugs. They were quality and lasted for years, but weren’t designed with looks in mind. They were favored by tradespeople because they’re hard on stuff and it just works. (I knew them for thermal mugs that held coffee.)
For reasons unknown to me, influencers got a hold of Stanley mugs, with a straw and handle. They became very popular. The company now makes them in many different colors and some people decide to collect them.

It absolutely does not taste the same. Which works for me because I don’t like the taste of cow milk.

- Comment on Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish 5 weeks ago:
I lived in an apartment complex like this. Management didn’t bother to ever clean the dryer vents, so it would take for. ev. er. to dry. It’s a wonder the laundry building didn’t catch on fire.
- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 1 month ago:
I will never get over Breyer’s ice cream going cheap.
Have you looked at Häagen-Dazs? I only looked at their plain chocolate flavor, but the ingredients are only Cream, Skim Milk, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, and Egg Yolks. That’s the real deal right there!
I like Ben and Jerry’s, but I definitely know that it’s not “real” ice cream. They shine because they have good flavor combinations.
Bruster’s and Graeter’s are ice cream shops that make their ice cream in-house. They also contain stabilizers but I prefer it over what’s in the grocery store. I’m not sure if that is because I’m used to it or what. If you have a location for either of these near you, I would check them out.
Lastly, I would check if you have any local places that make their own ice cream. You might find what you’re looking for there.

Thank you!
If you were serious about spending a few bucks on it, you can donate to support our instance on Ko-fi. Sort of like how Reddit gold used to be.

- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 1 month ago:
I have rarely gone to get fast food in the last few years, a lot of the reason because of the cost. That, and quality has gone down a lot even with price increases.
The times I have gone, were because I was short on time. I miss the days I could overlook the poor quality due to the cost.

In the US, it depends on which state and certain conditions. Only two states, Maine and Vermont, will allow felons to vote, even while incarcerated. The link below has a good summary.

- Comment on Let's talk Halloween Hyperconsumption 1 month ago:
Yes please do post more videos you like! You inspired me to maybe post too. I stopped making posts years and years ago because on Reddit it just got lost in the sea anyway.
- Comment on Let's talk Halloween Hyperconsumption 1 month ago:
Thanks for sharing this. I rarely watch YouTube videos but this was worth the watch. Very well-rounded talk that doesn’t just boil down to “no fun allowed.”
I love her suggestions. I already make my own costumes and re-use some of the stuff for the rest of the year. One thing she didn’t mention… I go CRAZY on the makeup on Halloween and “spooky time.” Fun expression without creating a lot of waste! (I already had the supplies for it anyway.)
Slight disagree on the pumpkins. The pumpkin I get for my porch doesn’t taste good. I don’t throw them away, and you shouldn’t put them in a secluded wooded area (whoops). Composting is the best which I will try this year.
It is crazy how much people will just throw away old decor they used for like one season. I do very minimal decor because I don’t want to store it. (I have some rust colored kitchen towels that I use all year but make sure are ready to go on Halloween. I have a cute glass pumpkin that I use every year too.) My mom tried to buy me some more decor, and I told her I don’t have a place to put it when it’s time to take it down. She told me “oh just throw it away.” WHAT.
I go to the local pumpkin patch every year. It’s a lot of fun and it supports a local business. They make their own jellies, jams, and treats that my family looks forward to this season. The one I go to has so many activities in it, like a bounce pad, paintball target shooting, mini golf, and zip lines.
- Comment on Let's talk Halloween Hyperconsumption 1 month ago:
I feel like Christmas is already called out a lot, and rightfully so. (How the Grinch Stole Christmas, anyone?) Many other holidays too to a lesser extent, like Valentine’s Day and US Independence Day.
But then the same folks that call these out tend to give Halloween a free pass and some even hyperconsume for this holiday because it’s the rebellious one. I really appreciate this video because I have been saying the same thing, it just elicits eye rolls and being talked down to. (And that’s just when someone asks me about Halloween, not me saying something unsolicited.)
Can’t watch the full video yet… But happy it’s here.

Oh yes, I remember when Reddit came out with multireddits. Loved that, and I miss it.

“All” here vs other social media is much better
It’s more likely that arguments are civil. There are still quite a few venomous arguments but I’ve noticed that it it proportionally less.
On Reddit or Facebook, if you didn’t like a group you left and made your own. If you didn’t like the admins, tough shit. Here, if you don’t like the admins, you can use a different instance.
Likes and dislikes are separate, and are in some cases viewable who submit them. I feel like this keeps people a little more honest.
I like the modlog and transparency. It’s so much easier that when someone complains about unfair mod action, to see if they are in the right or exaggerating.
There is an “end” to Lemmy. There isn’t just infinite content to scroll through.
Dislike
Smaller user base means that niches that Reddit filled just aren’t here.
There is an “end” to Lemmy. There isn’t just infinite content to scroll through.
Neutral
The types of common negative personalities here are different from that of Reddit. Reddit has more misogyny, classism, antinatalists, and obnoxious atheists. (As opposed to the chill atheists.) Lemmy has quite a few people that are pretty shitty to those that are disabled or cannot get out of some situations. If you cannot work towards the greater good without any rest, can’t escape a bad situation, or can’t just extend yourself further, you are trash. There are also more fringe beliefs here. I do like it because of the different perspectives, even if I very strongly disagree. (It makes me think!) Unfortunately we still have the dumbass arguments about generations but you can’t have it all.

It’s great to really stretch in the middle of my nature walks, and take it all in.
