The toll of core life events. Having a child, taking care of elderly grandparents/parents. I thought it would be easier. Not easy but "he's not heavy; he's my brother" kind of easier. Maybe it's me, but it feels like I'm constantly running on empty. Caregiver burnout is a real beast.

Fast food's too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

"I won't be available that day but I will make a donation to XYZ Org that helped my aunt when she had breast cancer."

Don't try to educate how Susan G Komen is awful, that's tricky to keep professional and might be a losing battle. Instead educate about awesome charities that do good work. If you're asked to donate to both, then really lean into how much your aunt loves this other charity over G Komen.

You can also kill them with kindness by thanking them for the reminder if they still don't leave. Extra points if they're super aggressive, ask if the company will match your donation :)

Well said. Social media is designed specifically to hold attention and encourage addictive behavior. There's no way to compete.

To be honest, I'm really not sure what mod powers I even have on Lemmy. The things that stick out to me are:

  • Edit sub 'about' page

  • Lock threads

  • Ban users, also view banned users and un-ban

Thank you for making Sync + Lemmy and thank you for working so hard to make it user/mod friendly!

Hey I can answer that 100% truthfully. I don't know :)

I mean as long as you don't make an ad where it's one man explaining to a group of only women who all look kind of annoyed, you're probably going to be fine.

I remember asking my 8th grade english teacher if she got tired of reading young adult books. She said no, good books are good no matter the age range. Now I'm a couple decades older and 100% agree.

Add some love to it. Put it on a plate, add a sprig of whatever, eat with a fancy fork, whatever it is that makes you happy. It's a little gift of love to yourself. Soon after living on my own I realized I could eat whatever I wanted out of those big wine glasses. So... I did. Juice, yogurt, cereal, mac and cheese. I liked how it looked and it was a small thing that made my day brighter.

If I remember correctly at the end he actually sees five lights but still says four. Fantastic way to show that Picard is human and fallible, but his spirit is stronger.

Headaches are annoying but what you described is a migraine. Those will usually put a person out of commission. Your doctor can prescribe you fast working meds for when they hit.

Want to add that not all migraines are the same. While most will incapacitate a person, a mild headache that lasts several days can be considered a migraine and I've had low pain migraines with aura that are basically just visual distortions.

Dump a cup of white vinegar into the wash, let them soak. Mildew will be gone. Add an extra rinse if it smells of vinegar.

Tl;dr: Lily had a natural death and by accounts a normal life. Her widowed husband, who wrote the gravestone, may have been suffering from delusions brought on by Parkinson's disease.

Talk to your doctor if you don't feel like you're seeing any effects. The Internet isn't qualified for this.

And I look super ugly

Honey I wish I could give you a hug. Your body is on a journey right now, be kind to yourself.

Even for the most gentle shipment service, this doesn't look like enough packaging.

My mom's favorite thing is cherries. I love my mom and I love cherries, but she ate so many that I can't stand the thought of eating fresh cherries. It's been maybe 20 years since I've had a fresh cherry and I expect it'll be many more until I can sit down with a bowl. Love cherries in dishes though.
