One can hope

A really good distilling setup, or an embroidery machine, or a hen house upgrade, or a sublimation printer and T-shirt press, or a fancy wine fridge (stocked)… I have a lot of favorite hobbies.

Yeah. And I spent a while posting prolifically to them, but without comments, and without new posts, it’s kinda pointless. I want to see OTHER people’s content.

I’m glad you’ve got your routine and cat! Cats are amazing partners in sad. Make sure you allow yourself just to exist in the complexity of your grief for a while though, there’s no timeline you have to stick to to ‘get over it’.

I’m sorry, that’s awful. How are you doing with it all?

US, I just got to offer stage with a company and the PTO was 10 days… I’m originally from the UK, and previously worked with startups from other countries, so this is shocking to me. More infuriating was the response from my friend group when I complained about it. “Yeah that’s pretty standard” and I’m like “ok but it’s also shit?”

Was it in various Wetherspoons? If so, could have been me.

Bouncers apparently do

There was no queue for the men’s. I respect queues, which is why I used the men’s - I didn’t want to have to join it.

Various Wetherspoons in England, because I hated queuing for the girls loo, so I’d just run into the men’s. Apparently they don’t like when you do that.

Lovely and terrifying all at once. Can’t wait for the new one!

I worked for German startup tech bros who decided to become freight logistics influencers. Fuck, those absolute cretins were the worst humans I’ve met maybe ever. I ended up on 100mg anti anxiety meds and I still hated it enough to end up quitting one random Thursday.

Some people are just destined to be soul suckers, and it’s like a virus - those who don’t jump ship end up catching the disease.

Actionable. Ugh.

I’m a girl with plump hairy legs and I’m hot.

Pawpaw. It’s such a fun tree, native to where I live (East Tennessee, 7a), puts out delicious fruit for a very brief moment, and has a fun history.

The ice compartment of our fridge. It’s always a fucking compressed block that needs manually smashing up. I fucking hate it so much.

Woman here: I’m not annoyed if a person I don’t know talks to me, as long as a) they don’t interrupt something I’m doing to have conversation and b) they read my body language and fuck off again the moment it’s clear I’m not interested. But asking me questions when I have my headphones in to talk about inane shit while I roll my eyes? Nah.

Turns out that when you do make that vote, the fucking Cheeto looking stupid fucker who takes bribes still wins. And I voted as hard as I could!

도대체 방금 나한테 뭐라고 씨부린 거냐, 이 작은 개자식아? 나는 네가 알다시피 네이비 씰에서 수석으로 졸업했고, 알카에다를 상대로 한 수많은 비밀 작전에 참여했으며, 300명 이상의 확정 킬 수를 자랑한다. 나는 게릴라 전투에 훈련된 전문가이며, 미군 전체에서 최고의 저격수다. 너 같은 건 내게 그냥 또 하나의 표적일 뿐이다. 나는 너를 이 지구상에서 본 적 없는 정밀도로 쓸어버릴 거야. 내 말 명심해, 이 개새끼야. 네가 감히 인터넷에서 그런 쓰레기 같은 말을 내게 할 수 있다고 생각했냐? 다시 생각해, 씹새야. 지금 이 순간에도 나는 미국 전역에 퍼져 있는 내 비밀 정보망과 연락 중이고, 네 IP는 이미 추적되고 있으니 폭풍에 대비하는 게 좋을 거다, 벌레 자식아. 그 폭풍은 네가 네 인생이라 부르는 초라한 존재를 쓸어버릴 것이다. 넌 끝났어, 애송이야. 난 언제 어디서든 나타날 수 있고, 맨손으로만 700가지 이상의 방법으로 널 죽일 수 있다. 나는 맨몸 전투에 철저히 훈련받았을 뿐 아니라, 미 해병대 무기고 전체에 접근할 수 있고, 그 무기를 전부 사용해서 너 같은 찌질이를 이 대륙에서 지워버릴 수 있어, 이 좆만한 새끼야. 네가 얼마나 신성모독 같은 응징을 네 “기발한” 댓글 하나로 자초했는지 알았더라면 입 닥치고 있었을 거다. 하지만 넌 못 참았고, 안 했고, 이제 그 대가를 치르는 거다, 이 빌어먹을 멍청아. 나는 분노의 똥을 너한테 쏟아붓고, 넌 거기 빠져 죽게 될 거다. 넌 진짜 끝장이야, 꼬맹이.

What’s your favorite lie you’ve told to a bunch of strangers on Lemmy?
