I’m someone who builds up earwax easily, leading to infections.

For the last decade, I’ve been regularly scraping it out with metal spoons. I’m even used to accidentally tapping my ear drum.

Last time I was at my doctors he commented (to the intern in training) that my ear canals are well sloped and naturally clean themselves, and I corrected him. Glad to know he didn’t observe damage I’ve been causing.

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren’t as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There’s a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There’s also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

I don’t know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was “Polonium”.

When I was in my mid 30s, a cute young 24 year old online started hitting on me.

Turned out she had three kids with three different dads and the most recent one was in jail for domestic abuse.

I still almost went for it though. Problem is my life was in the shitter and couldn’t even afford to fly down or for her up to see me.

We were ‘together’ for about six months when I wised up and broke it off.

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I’ve never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.

There is a !Buddhism@lemmy.world community.

Daylast, primarily to screw up that stupid “Day ending in a y” joke.

Even on reddit I’d get replies to years old comments. I remember one user watching Breaking Bad and reading the old response threads and engaging with me from there.

I don’t mind at all, especially as I’m trying to be uplifting with my comments.

I’m talking about Lemmy bots in general, on any instances.

I view all and have to block bots fairly often as they’re posting things in languages I can’t read in large amounts.

I think they’re supposed to use language tags and are not, but I just block them because of there being a large amount of unhelpful content.

And let’s be honest, there’s always gonna be a ton of that, hence my filtering. But if the people making bots to post content could make sure the posts are properly marked, I wouldn’t need to block them and would continue to see the content they post that I can read.

None of them do their language settings well.

Two of our four cats often show up in the bathroom when we are showering so we can wet them down with our hands when we get out.

They get all excited for a quick bath from mommy or daddy.

My point was more that some people did the right thing, not that it’s enough to eliminate a statistical slump.

Some people of the time would think the Chinese were heartless people to do what they did, and some quietly raised their other children, that’s all.

And if even that isn’t true, so be it, as I could have fallen for propaganda and cannot locate the original source, but here is another showing that some people didn’t just fall in line.

While that definitely happened, the thankful reality is that many families raised their daughters unofficially.

Players: “What about that item you gave us in the third session but never used? This must be what it was for all along, right?”

DM to self: What the hell are they talking about?
