Adorable! You’re the first one to comment in a while so I appreciate it haha. It’s amazing how scruffy they get! Always so cute.

I really think this is what the solution can be boiled down to for a lot of people. The rat race just to survive (not even thrive) is killer on the mood, where you feel like you are headed towards existentially, and utterly depletes the energy.

Why even bother trying to pursue things we actually enjoy? Or find out what we do enjoy? Too tired from work. Don’t want to leave the house again if I can help it. It costs so much to do anything. Honestly, if I didn’t end up having some decent people to hang out with at work I wouldn’t have anyone close by. It’s ridiculous.

seems to encompass just how I feel when shit just works.

Lol. This is trash content. At least step it up.

Was it ever rude? Like, get going. Obviously need a wake up either way.

As others have mentioned the way you honk can be rude. And honking too quickly.

When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don’t love them.

The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max’s dream…those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.

The Ring was a big one because my “friend” called and did the whole “seven days…” thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.

Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.

Seriously, sometimes calling in every once in a while and getting some stuff down around the house, the yard, or actually enjoying a hobby - does wonders for the mental health.

Skipping work when you feel productive and refreshed vs only when you feel like shit - should be a thing (aka mental health days ran in tangent with sick time).

I even tried looking at a post where they “haven’t reviewed the content yet” so they couldn’t be sure of adult content, so you had to log in anyways. Like, come on.

Good riddance.

Just sucks that Reddit has a lot of specific info about things, hopefully that’ll change over time.

Saw her at a local university, she was a fantastic speaker and I learned lots! Happy I got to experience her.

What a treasure.

Rest in peace. ❤

Well, considering we were defederated from beehaw, and I don’t find our instance particularly negative or hateful in much of the content and users I’ve personally seen - I think it’s hard to paint a whole community with one brush stroke. Not that it’s not possible or even useful to do in some cases, but it’s not something that should be done willy-nilly. And I guess I like the idea of a more individualistic approach. That’s just my thoughts.

But the beauty of it is there are plenty of instances to try out; the fedi-universe is certainly an interesting concept I’m starting to wrap my head around.

I definitely tend to agree with you in terms of being in the middle. But the middle is such a vast, grey area that is hard to pinpoint exactly where the middle is.

Is there no way to block a particular instance for the individual (I’ve never tried)? I feel like if there is a way for individuals to do so, why not put it in their hands? And if not, is it possible to make it so they can? Kind of removes the need for an entire instance to make any calls in the first place.

But I’m very much new to the federation universe and incredibly dumb in terms of computer/internet workings.

I’ve had a similar problem. A screenshot version of the photo was a no go (my go to way to crop). An edited version of the original photo was fine. Hopefully it’s something that gets smoothed out over time.

The early days of YouTube, spurred our own shitty video making within our group of friends. OG Neopets and Habbo Hotel were peak socializing with strangers on the internet. MSN allowed me to actually talk to people I knew in a way that was harder to do in person, helped me form relationships I wouldn’t have normally had.

Neopets was probably my first time delving headfirst into forums. It was a neat thing where you can join guilds, sometimes super niche ones where everyone is just as into the thing as you are, and just talk to similar-minded people.

It was a cool feeling as someone from a rural town in the middle of Canada.

Not sure how effective it is but under your profile settings there is a box you can uncheck that says “Show Bot Accounts”

Oh she is darling! She looks to be about the same size as our Ruby, who was also the runt! So happy to see ones as small as her haha. I would say Ruby is about 12ish pounds? At her last vet check in anyways. I feel like she hasn’t gotten any bigger since.

Definitely need more random, absurd deaths in my life again.

Yeah my girl is just over 1.5 years now and her teething phase was really something else! Luckily for us she wasn’t very adventurous due to how anxious she was so she never chewed on any she wasn’t supposed to (except us 😂). She still loves to use her teeth to play but it’s easy to divert her with a toy now. They are such goofballs.

So glad the rest of the training is going well!

Please do add more pictures! I say stuff about stories and advice but I love me some cute photos! Thanks for contributing!

Oh my goodness!! 😍😍

She is precious!! Mine loves to be in the weirdest positions too; usually bum up higher than the rest of her body, for whatever reason!

How are you faring with the puppy phase so far? Is she your first schnauzer?

It’s been so long and they stepped right back into it like it was yesterday. The song is hard af and the trailer looks great. Hyped!
