You know what you got me there. For some reason individually wrapped candies are another thing. Maybe because one doesn’t at all seem like a reasonable serving size or something. Like…who just has a singular candy? Meanwhile snack size bags of chips at least have multiple chips.
- Comment on Hate when this happens 3 days ago:
In general I would say I agree and owe my healthy weight mostly to this. Another thing that I would always do is instead of buying a regular family size bag of chips, I would buy the snack pack sizes. It’s a lot more expensive and more wasteful that way. But it’s easy to mindlessly consume half of a bag of family size chips. It’s less easy to mindlessly individually open 10 snack bags of chips.
But goddamnit, food delivery apps are my vice. They just bring whatever you want directly to you. I guess at least with these I’m generally only ordering a single meal rather than a ton of snacks.

Is this AI? Why would there be a random desk in this orientation in the middle of a Home Depot aisle?

Idk how you can tell if this is a man or woman from this angle. But imo anyone doing incredibly weird shit in public shouldn’t be surprised if someone snaps a pic.

Hell…sitting just on the ground I’d even understand. It sounds spontaneous enough. But bringing out a fucking chair is just deliberate and fucking bizarre behavior.

It’s not a common scenario nowadays, but I have a coworker with 4 incredibly young children all only a year or two apart in age. A bit harder to wrangle that many children who are that young.

Honestly I’m not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???

It’s no problem. I appreciate the help! Not sure if they mostly got bored or not anyway!
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah if you’re using them up that quick, you’re not likely to really come across it.

You’ve never experienced freezer burn? It’s not when it feels too cold to touch.
Freezer burn is when “unwrapped” food in the freezer gets ice crystalized all over it. It turns the texture into a disgusting mess when it’s cooked…overly chewy and even messes with the taste.
It happens more often when food has been opened and then placed in the freezer for a prolonged period of time.
I say unwrapped because it doesn’t necessarily mean just open without a container. Like for example I have a bag of chicken nuggets in the freezer. The bag has a re-closable ziplock type closure. However, sometimes over time, if I’ve opened and re-closed the bag, sometimes some of the remaining nugs get freezer burned.
If you’re using up said bag of nuggets relatively quickly, then it’s not a concern. But if you’re only having nuggets once and a while, then freezer burn is more likely to happen.

Honestly, I’m with you on that.
Idk maybe it’s because I’m a millennial who has boomer parents who never “got ahead” in life. One of my parents is unlikely to ever be able to retire. I never got the “rich boomer” hate because my parents continue to work and struggle financially in their mid to late 60s.
Gets a bit tiring to hear large swaths of people shit on other large swaths of people all the time. Such is the internet, I suppose.

You know when I initially joined Lemmy I was actually on Beehaw. Was a somewhat pleasant time until they went nuclear with defederating from everyone and all that jazz.

On one hand, I completely and totally hear you. The thing that people don’t think about is that they do color someone’s initial impression of a comment. So you’re significantly more likely to get more negative engagement from others that way. It’s why some places/sites sometimes obscure the initial votes for a set number of time.

It occurred to a huge number of comments suddenly at 3-3:30am. And then another user today just now. Image

I guess that’s my difficulty. I don’t how to navigate to their profile from my instance. I only know how to go to their instance to find their profile.

Looks like there are now four of them. This is very upsetting as I’ve blocked them and don’t want to have to make a new account. :( I’ve never been systemically harassed before online.

Do you happen to know how I can send a message to someone on the fediverse without navigating to their profile? I’m a bit slow but I can’t seem to figure it out. When I go to the instance in question to figure out who the admin is, I can’t message them because I am not logged in on that instance. I tried searching their name in the post/comment search feature, but they don’t seem to always pop up that way.

Thank you. I see them now. Do you know how I would go about reporting them and to who? Tbh I’m a bit confused on how this works with federated communities. It’s not as if we’re all on the same collective.
Will blocking them help stop them from mass downvoting me or no?

Thank you. How did you see who is downvoting me? Curious what I can do with this information. If they are following me across multiple communities then I’m not sure who to report them to.

- Comment on Checkmate Dad 5 weeks ago:
CBT always felt so invalidating to me. Prior to even hearing of this stuff, I had always felt that my perceptions, thoughts, and feelings were “wrong”. Bringing out that stupid cognitive distortions list and naming which ones I was using at any given moment was not helpful. It just confirmed how badly I felt about myself. It confirmed that my existence was “wrong”. I couldn’t logic myself out of my feelings.
I appreciated DBT so much more. Yes, cognitive distortions are touched on, but they aren’t the forefront and aren’t shoved down your throat. DBT has a really important concept which states that BOTH logic AND your feelings are incredibly important. And that it’s important to marry the two to navigate life in a much more helpful and satisfying way.
- Comment on Digital tags have to go. 5 weeks ago:
I really doubt it’s that deep. The price likely just changes globally.
So if you pick up your item while it’s $7, but then walk to the register and it’s now $9, it would ring up as $9.
Yeah, that does sound like deceptive marketing, but my random guess is that it likely isn’t changed much throughout the day.
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 5 weeks ago:
Idk…a lot of speed bumps I’ve come across are crazy violent. They aren’t sloped enough and instead project upwards very abruptly.
Obviously, not every speed bump is the same, but still.
I really would prefer for hidden speed bumps to not exist when I’m riding my motorcycle, for example, where that can be a rather dangerous “feature” of the road.
