Add some love to it. Put it on a plate, add a sprig of whatever, eat with a fancy fork, whatever it is that makes you happy. It’s a little gift of love to yourself. Soon after living on my own I realized I could eat whatever I wanted out of those big wine glasses. So… I did. Juice, yogurt, cereal, mac and cheese. I liked how it looked and it was a small thing that made my day brighter.

I mean as long as you don’t make an ad where it’s one man explaining to a group of only women who all look kind of annoyed, you’re probably going to be fine.

Hey I can answer that 100% truthfully. I don’t know :)

To be honest, I’m really not sure what mod powers I even have on Lemmy. The things that stick out to me are:

• Edit sub ‘about’ page

• Lock threads

• Ban users, also view banned users and un-ban

Thank you for making Sync + Lemmy and thank you for working so hard to make it user/mod friendly!

1 kid cuts, the other chooses. Keeps things fair.

Well said. Social media is designed specifically to hold attention and encourage addictive behavior. There’s no way to compete.

“I won’t be available that day but I will make a donation to XYZ Org that helped my aunt when she had breast cancer.”

Don’t try to educate how Susan G Komen is awful, that’s tricky to keep professional and might be a losing battle. Instead educate about awesome charities that do good work. If you’re asked to donate to both, then really lean into how much your aunt loves this other charity over G Komen.

You can also kill them with kindness by thanking them for the reminder if they still don’t leave. Extra points if they’re super aggressive, ask if the company will match your donation :)

The toll of core life events. Having a child, taking care of elderly grandparents/parents. I thought it would be easier. Not easy but “he’s not heavy; he’s my brother” kind of easier. Maybe it’s me, but it feels like I’m constantly running on empty. Caregiver burnout is a real beast.

Fast food’s too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.
