I fell off a walking path into a bunch of massive rocks Wile E Coyote style five minutes into sight seeing with my brother who I hadn’t seen in 10 years. I managed to hobble away with only a grade three sprain and some horrible bruising. It’s healed now but perpetually stiff. My new normal is walking down stairs like a 95 year old.

In my Volkswagen Beetle once. It was exciting in the moment but looking back it was pretty meh.

Cognitive dissonance. People see themselves as rational and intelligent and anything that counters that is very difficult to accept, so they double down.

We sold our rural starter home in Dec 2020 and made a decent profit, which we used to move back to the city in June 2021. We definitely overpaid on the purchase price (not a lot of choices in our housing market), but our rate is good and the payment is doable, so I think it was a good decision.

People talking about wanting to lose weight or dieting. It’s one thing to say “I’m going to skip dessert because I’m watching what I eat” but more often than not, it turns into this dark, self hating thing, e.g. “I gained so much weight over the holidays, I can’t believe I’m up to X lbs, I look so ugly.” Women especially seem to bond over these conversations and it makes me really uncomfortable and sad to be honest.

I guess if you can’t convince people to support your cause, trying to deceive them into doing so is the next best thing.

Apparently I’m disgusting because I only brush and floss at night. I wish I was the sort of person who brushed after every meal but I just can’t be bothered. I haven’t had a cavity in years though, so I guess it works for me.

You want a functional resume, which focuses more on skills rather than work history. I know a CV isn’t the exact same thing as a resume, but it’s similar enough that if you searched “functional resume examples” you would have a good starting point. You can always include skills that you obtained through education/hobbies/volunteer activities too.

I guess I should clarify I start offering hugs to people. I would never just wrap my arms around someone unless I knew it was ok.

I have the most embarrassing quirk when I drink. I get super emotional and start giving out hugs to people I would never hug sober.

I cackled.

I don’t think that definition is widely accepted. I think most people generally believe racism is characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

If you are white and call yourself white, most people would not consider that a racist statement.

That story made me sick. The criminal justice system in the US is unimaginably cruel and fucked up.

Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.

Broad City is one of my favorite female led comedies! In general, I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make comedy that fits the bill. I also enjoyed Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

Having an ad-free Pinterest-esque option sounds like a dream. I stopped using it a while ago because of all the obnoxious ads.

I don’t think I’ve seen hunting content on Lemmy before, but who knows, maybe there are people who are interested in it. I have never hunted, but I guess I technically learned something from it myself.

This is the most random guide I’ve seen in this community.
