The human brain is amazing and can predict the wildest things. You can look around a room and, without touching a thing, understand what it would feel like to lick random items.
Enjoy!
- Comment on Not saying this is Hell, but it's pretty fucking close 1 week ago:
My grandpa is ~10 years retired after working as a pharmacist his whole career. He’s calling my parents every month, asking for help with his rent and groceries because he can’t afford both at once with his retirement and social security payments.
Mind you, my grandmother did taxes and financials for small businesses, so it’s not like my grandparents weren’t set up. But my grandma’s health went down, hospital bills ate all of their savings, and now that she’s passed, my grandpa can’t afford anything.
It’s not so black and white as “save more and just be healthy”. Not even close

- Comment on Does anyone have advice for brain zaps? 2 weeks ago:
They don’t hurt per se. I think it’s different per person, but I feel it in my ears first, like in flexing them and making them rumble, before I get the sound of static and then my eyes feel like they involuntarily look left and right. I also kinda feel a little bit of the tingle across the top of my head or my brain - so I do get the zap of them as well. This all happens within maybe half a second or less, but it’s multiple times a minute.
Not truly life altering, but the combination of ear rumbles and eye movements are making me hella dizzy all day

- Comment on How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship? 2 weeks ago:
The disability bit is hard. There are medical exclusions for going into Canada. I’m on that road right now and I have a heart issue which, for me, equals disabled. My best advice is talk to an immigration specialist - but be sure to check that they are legit and have the right certifications.
Otherwise,like other people are saying, it’s a lot about skills. If your brother is amenable to going to a school in Canada, that’s also an easier way. It’s not a guarantee, but a student visa will last a bit and then having that already Canadian training, it’s easier to be hired by those companies.
Good luck

Acknowledged.
But an addition: humans aren’t meant to handle the mental crush of globalization, IMO. It’s nice to know what’s going on so one can be actionable, but it also takes a severe toll after a while. I didn’t come here for any echo chamber, and I love how down to earth lemmy feels, but I also don’t visit any politics or world news subs.
I help where I can locally and I do my best to make other people smile because we’re all on edge, but I’m not able to to stay mentally well enough to do so without shrinking down the world around me and becoming ignorant of the greater picture.

The spoons make me legitimately uncomfortable. I am in solidarity with you

I hope you wouldn’t mind being stabbed with that dorky fork while I melt the rest down to make a proper spoon.

Also in the PNW. I just feel super bad for all the people living in Point Roberts. The tariffs have been murder on them. I wish Canada could just quietly absorb them.
- Comment on What's your MarioKart character and why? 1 month ago:
I always play Shy Guy. He’s cute and his sounds are absolutely hilarious and never get annoying to me. And I’m also super shy, so it all works out.

If you have any decent spatial skills, maybe look into GIS. I see positions for GIS developers constantly. More than I ever see positions for GIS Techs or Analysts.
Also if you’re in the US, check out BLS.gov, it can help you find similar career fields or specialties that maybe you didn’t know about.

Can attest that Short Hike and Holedown are good. I’ve had the latter on my phone for forever and still play it often.

I’ll add an asterisk to your statements. As a woman, things don’t generally slide right in (ymmv), and usually there’s still a little bit of intentionality to get to the good parts. Of course, something with tiny girth might slide in, but generally, phallic-type objects can still take a little work.

I’m not sure if it is boss or not, but the xenomorph in Alien: Isolation has a great AI that does some wickedly mean things.

What you’ve just spoken is such a visceral truth. I can pull myself out of a shallow funk with the “silly chemicals” argument, but they often like to fight back and dig deeper holes.

Slip in when someone else goes for tennis. Super glue the latch to the gate open. Duct tape it for good measure. Gate looks closed but it’s actually open. Tadaa.
- Comment on What's your username and password? 2 months ago:
I got frustrated with an account a long time ago that was doing the incorrect password -> reset password -> you can’t use a password you’ve already used.
So I set it as EatMyA$$
And now on the very rare occasion I have to log into that account again, it tickles me
