The passing that will hopefully begin the decline of the maga cult.
- Comment on How will you celebrate? 23 hours ago:
Was that the brunch comment? No biggie. It’s not a super serious discussion- just an internet post on No Stupid Questions. A certain percentage of responses are expected to be negativish. That’s what keeps the web spinning.
If all the magats who posted HE IS RISEN yesterday (for their friends to see) actually went to church, my favorite brunch places would be easier to get into.

I’d watch that.
- Comment on Sometimes I use ChatGPT to generate the stories that I would write but can't. Does anyone have tips on writing better after using ChatGPT for generating stories? 1 week ago:
- Comment on Is there a place online to ask for Non Money donations? like books, jerseys, or whatever? kind of like go fund me or kickstarter without giving someone money kind of like a gofundme donations thing? 4 weeks ago:
Facebook marketplace has free things.
- Comment on Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder? 1 month ago:
Inherited a 3 bedroom house from my mom and it was full (overfull) of her stuff. My house had 4 full bedrooms. Both had full garages. Like you, it’s just stuff- not trash , though some was old mail and magazines.
I have big trash pickup every Wednesday. I usually put things on the curb on Saturday and Sunday and much of it is gone before the trash people come. I like knowing that it’s going to someone instead of a landfill.
Other items were donated to a local organization that runs a thrift store.
About 40 bags of clothing and bedding went to my cleaning lady. She keeps what she can use and the rest goes to her church. They offer it to people here and the rest goes to the border. We tease that in a few months we will turn on the news to see everyone at the border dressed like my mom. ❤️
The ‘mementos’ or items that i feel nostalgic or sentimental about - I’ve learned that it takes me 3 times of interacting with items to decide what i definitely want to keep and what can go. I’ve also learned to be ok with that. I can narrow from 10 boxes to 7, then to 5, and if those sit in a closet for s year before i do more, so be it.
- Comment on What books have a lot of useful information should I get? (I mean like a Wikipedia thing with vast knowledge, but non-electronic.) 1 month ago:
Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls!
- Comment on [NSQ] What are you actually looking forward to this year? 1 month ago:
Hoping my son ends his break with us.
Making a decision about retirement and hopefully not regretting it.
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 months ago:
That’s us. When we write reviews or share things.
Off topic- I never understand why people in commercials are so awkward when they recommend things. I send things to my friends all the time…check out these yoga pants with pockets, Kroger has blackberries on sale, look at Kitty Lulu in the new dog bed, etc. Why is it so hard for fakers to appear genuine?
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through? 2 months ago:
A topic comes up and I remember that I have a bookmark about that topic and that’s usually the only way I get back to it.
Occasionally I block off time, like 15 minutes, where I scroll through and delete the ones that I no longer care about. Kind of the same thing I do with emails and photos.
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through? 2 months ago:
I bookmark them and close them so at least they’re out of sight.
- Comment on Say, the country/countries you have citizenship in, decided to not want you anymore and threw you to some random "3rd world country", how do you survive? 3 months ago:
I work in healthcare and husband works in engineering. Hopefully we could live cheaply enough to survive on the $ we have and possibly be viewed as helpful enough to the community to gain some level of security.
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 3 months ago:
Can it get the trash into the trash bin and the recycling into you recycling bin? The intelligent thing in my house is lacking in this area. Also, with changing the toilet paper. Who’s working on these important issues?
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 3 months ago:
Children from international adoptions sometimes have something like an acquired autism - life is completely regulated and food and water and needed items are delivered and removed on schedules and the child has no impact on their environment. I had a couple of greyhounds that were trained to race as pups. They had some AU tendencies. I bet some other pups develop those to.

Practical is sexy.
- Comment on when are the upcoming political elections held in america? 4 months ago:
Check out vote411.org
You can see what’s on ballots in different states. You’ll see that there will be elections in the spring for primaries - where they narrow the field for the bigger election in November.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 5 months ago:
I’m mostly surprised that there’s been little response to the boat blasting.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 5 months ago:
Could you add a small wireless fan to circulate air and make better use of the heat you have? Sort of a DIY convection?
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 5 months ago:
But every night the men would come around…

How else do we warn others about the assholes?

What are soyboys and fashies?

Still no idea what that means.

There are so many songs that refer to gypsy. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to sing along or not.

Somewhere along the way that became southern engineering. My mom lived in Florida for awhile so it was a good dig at both the locals and the duct tape crowd -though i grew up repairing everything with duct tape and bailing wire. My husband is an engineer - right tool for the job guy. I’m like, "pass me that mallet and a wire hanger.)

I never thought of it as lazy, just kids that gather and maybe cause a little mischief, especially during school breaks.

My family is pretty liberal. Despite that i had a couple of words that i grew up hearing and didn’t realize that they meant until i was an adult. When you know better you do better.
To jew someone down when negotiating a price was one. It was just a word and i didn’t understand it until i thought about spelling it and realized. Yes, I’m dumb.
I work with kids and i often call them squirrels, monkeys, octopus, big dog, etc. i mean it as endearing and didn’t realize that it could be offensive, especially monkey racially.
My grandma worked at a convenience store in very racially mixed, very low income area. She referred to all of the kids as porch monkeys. I thought nothing of it but now realize it can be racially offensive. In her defense, it was a time when kids were sent outside morning to evening and often gathered on the porches of a free homes.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 months ago:
The world is increasingly hostile, but let me still seems more humane than any other social media.
