please, i’ll take this any day over my physical labor job. it’s hell

i’m glad i never joined a gym when i was thinking about it around a year ago. it’s literally cheaper to save up to buy your own equipment (you don’t need the big stuff, but even then you can get it secondhand or something). i don’t work out anymore but when i did, i used body weight exercises (push ups, pull ups, etc.).

not trying to be rude, but it’s easy to get tunnel vision especially with tech spaces. before becoming involved in tech i had no idea that linux was even a thing. most of these people need education, they just didn’t know their options. they didn’t “choose” to throw away their rights because they didn’t know they had a choice.

my cat is the same. completely velcro. i can’t eat or get on my computer or use the bathroom without him trying to jump in my lap. i just think about how one day he won’t be here and ill miss him so much, even if he sometimes gets annoying now.

they’ll raise prices no matter what you do. in fact, having worked at walmart before, the pickup department generates more waste and shrinkage than people stealing.

if only my alcoholic father fasted enough, maybe he’d still be alive with a healthy liver!

you seriously think none of your fellow service members would listen to violent orders?

protests never seem to work. contacting my representatives doesn’t seem to work either. i don’t think peace is the way to get change anymore unfortunately, but it’s a big ask to want someone to take a violent action that will most likely lead to jail time.

i consider myself an anarchist and i agree with many of the opinions people have on here, but like holy shit i just want to look at stuff that isn’t politics for once. like i feel like that’s all lemmy has. not that reddit is much better but there’s some hidden gem communities on there, but ive yet to find any here

before transitioning i literally never knew my pants size because it was different for every brand. now that i shop in the men’s section post transition, i can now buy pants without needing to worry if they’ll fit. it’s the same measurement every single time no matter what brand. men’s sizes for pants work like 30x35, with the first number being the waist and the second being the length. plus, pockets! we seriously need better women’s clothes.

sure, not like people under 25 need to work, pay rent, take care of their own finances and responsibilities, or anything. we’re all just kids living with our parents and when we turn 25, we magically become adults! oh, wait…

what an insane thing to say. the job market in the usa is genuinely hell. people with degrees, experience, and skills still do not get jobs even after trying for sometimes years.

never too late to use another service to back up your photos! ente is a good alternative, i personally use proton drive (it’s kind of a crappy interface and not nearly as good as google, but it works). if you’re at all curious about self hosting, immich is basically a 1:1 google photos replacement.

i have the same thing, it always scares me. i feel like it will happen in real life one day

i feel you, i still have all my old photos from 2020 and before on google photos. the google takeout function didn’t even work for me, nearly half my photos were missing, so i have to manually download them i suppose. i get anxious still having so much stuff on there, but it’s so hard to migrate off especially after using it for a decade!

they lobby against weed in the usa so if you’re living here maybe don’t

many of us have mental illnesses that would put us or others in danger if we had a gun. trust me, i believe in arming ourselves, especially minorities, but what if one day i have no impulse control and shoot myself? im at a loss.

what am i supposed to do, take him out myself???
