Fuck. I just had a really promising interview, but it was three days in office, three days remote (5 days a week, so the days gradually rotate). I've worked remote for 15 years, not including three months in a terrible office job that I promptly quit.
I'm making a mistake considering this, aren't I?
Highly recommend hiking, or at least going for a scenic drive. I have been heading over to local trails a few times a week and it's amazing how much my brain has rewired from it. Like, I know the shit is bad, that hasn't changed, but seeing nature in force reinstalls this feeling of control. Nature always wins, these people will all be worm food one day.
In addition, don't say anything that suggests you will work, even if unpaid. Don't mention volunteering, helping a friend, doing remote work, etc. The rules are quite specific about what visas allow and do not allow, and many border people are just there to catch a paycheck - they will absolutely err on the side of denial. It is not a fair game, and you will not be given a fair chance to explain yourself.
Whether he stays or goes, he'll still be a cunt.
Turns out that when you do make that vote, the fucking Cheeto looking stupid fucker who takes bribes still wins. And I voted as hard as I could!
I lived in a travelers hostel with a lot of international people moving about on various visas. I think white people and majorities are more smug and comfortable than they should be right now. There was plenty of fuckery then, and we didn't even have the Jaffa cake monster in charge.
Don't assume they ain't coming for you. If you're not on their side, you're somewhere on the list.
Politicians: Take the job and the paycheck to represent the people, bow out when it's time to do that.
I might get called extremist for this, but senators and representatives should be willing to kill their career and reputation in politics to fight for their constituents. Otherwise, are we just paying them to have a good time??!
I, an unemployed, heavily drinking non-morning person, wakes up quicker than the Jewish community, apparently.
I would have to work for 514 million years to earn what one of the silicone six avoided paying in taxes.

도대체 방금 나한테 뭐라고 씨부린 거냐, 이 작은 개자식아? 나는 네가 알다시피 네이비 씰에서 수석으로 졸업했고, 알카에다를 상대로 한 수많은 비밀 작전에 참여했으며, 300명 이상의 확정 킬 수를 자랑한다. 나는 게릴라 전투에 훈련된 전문가이며, 미군 전체에서 최고의 저격수다. 너 같은 건 내게 그냥 또 하나의 표적일 뿐이다. 나는 너를 이 지구상에서 본 적 없는 정밀도로 쓸어버릴 거야. 내 말 명심해, 이 개새끼야. 네가 감히 인터넷에서 그런 쓰레기 같은 말을 내게 할 수 있다고 생각했냐? 다시 생각해, 씹새야. 지금 이 순간에도 나는 미국 전역에 퍼져 있는 내 비밀 정보망과 연락 중이고, 네 IP는 이미 추적되고 있으니 폭풍에 대비하는 게 좋을 거다, 벌레 자식아. 그 폭풍은 네가 네 인생이라 부르는 초라한 존재를 쓸어버릴 것이다. 넌 끝났어, 애송이야. 난 언제 어디서든 나타날 수 있고, 맨손으로만 700가지 이상의 방법으로 널 죽일 수 있다. 나는 맨몸 전투에 철저히 훈련받았을 뿐 아니라, 미 해병대 무기고 전체에 접근할 수 있고, 그 무기를 전부 사용해서 너 같은 찌질이를 이 대륙에서 지워버릴 수 있어, 이 좆만한 새끼야. 네가 얼마나 신성모독 같은 응징을 네 "기발한" 댓글 하나로 자초했는지 알았더라면 입 닥치고 있었을 거다. 하지만 넌 못 참았고, 안 했고, 이제 그 대가를 치르는 거다, 이 빌어먹을 멍청아. 나는 분노의 똥을 너한테 쏟아붓고, 넌 거기 빠져 죽게 될 거다. 넌 진짜 끝장이야, 꼬맹이.
What's your favorite lie you've told to a bunch of strangers on Lemmy?
Picking. I'm pretty compulsive about it. Can really fuck things up if I'm nervous about an upcoming social event, as I end up with a puckered face, making it worse. Idk why I do this, a lot of times I'm not really even conscious I'm doing it until after the fact.
Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don't echo the 'correct' ideals.
Them's some good memes huh
I need someone to start posting a lot of celebrity snark. Like, low quality mean snark about rich cunts. I in no way will contribute, other than the odd carefully rationed upvote, but I will consume guiltlessly.
Hurry, now.
I hope things are better for you now x
I wanna be mad at these comments but they're so true. I'm white and female, so maybe I'll be fine. But it's so fucking sad that this is the case. I'm not just worried for me, but for all the people who made this place home. A lot of minorities in that group.
As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?
Until now this would have been a stupid question - this is my home. But we're in a strange timeline. My background is I was born in the UK, met first husband, married, got green card, that went tits up, divorced, met husband 2, found forever love, married, naturalized in 2021. Have my passport and everything.
It's my dad's birthday, and he lives in the UK. I want to go back and celebrate, but I'm nervous about reentry into the US. I naturalized during the Biden presidency, and I am a Democrat, I feel nervous that I have a target on my back. I have a home and pets here. Am I ridiculous for worrying or should I be cautious about leaving right now?
He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.
I can cut butter to the exact weight each time.
I need to learn this superpower. I have tried alternates but I can't really afford the slow down that comes with the learning curve, but I'm also unemployed and broke now...
Do other people 'edge' going to sleep? Why is this a thing?
I've got a great life, I am not trying to avoid tomorrow or whatever, but I just really like staying awake when I'm absolutely balls ass tired. It's kinda addicting, like the sleepier you are, the more insanely good the sleep will be. So I find myself struggling, on purpose, to stay awake. I force myself to read books, or watch shows, or go on Lemmy... and I only just realized it's because I love feeling sleepy.
So uhh, anyone else got this?

Morels season is upon us
Ahoy foragers! I know it's been a cold quiet winter, but we're standing at the base camp of a very fruitful season of foraging! I saw the other day that a morel had been spotted in Georgia, and I did some crunching of data soon to be published on my soon to be published website, and have it on good authority that next week might be our first promising window for morels!
I've never eaten one, have no idea how they taste, and am on one hell of a mission to find one this season.
IDK if you remember Struggles, the lookalike cat that belonged to our neighbor and got left behind when he moved...
She's a proper part of the family now! After two failed attempts, she's landed at her forever home. She seems to know it too - she waits at the top of the stairs when it gets to bedtime and screams until we go up and tuck her in with us.
Have you ever won something? A sweepstake, competition, or other? What was it? Tell us your story.
I am obsessed with entering competitions, and I've won quite a few by now (I got free tickets to the same music festival seven years in a row due to my dedication). I love hearing stories of what others win and how they use their winnings.
What season/plant are you excited for? What's next on your forage list?
For me, ramps and morels! I know we still have a couple of months, but I'm already prepping my knowledge and researching my locations.

403 error when posting photos from camera roll (Pixel 6a)
It happens if I try to upload an unedited photo from my camera roll. If I crop it, even by a tiny amount, it lets me upload. It's a really frustrating issue because I have to edit every photo before uploading.
Stray no more; Strugs settles in to the warm life in her own bedroom with her own human.
Update: The deck cat that wasn't ours...
She belonged to a neighbor, but the neighbor moved away and left her. He said he'd be back Thanksgiving weekend to try and get her, but now he's ignoring my texts, and he'd already mentioned 'at this point you can just have her' in a previous conversation.
It's getting into below freezing temperatures here, so we built a little cat ramp up to the second story and now she lives in the house with us. I'm hesitant to say she's ours just yet, but it's looking a lot like that's not up to us anymore 🤣
