I had trouble a while ago with a roommate who was resisting cleaning up his room when I needed to get everyone out to deal with roaches that came in when I was trying to help a friend who needed to look for a new room to rent. He's still looking and he's blown multiple opportunities by not having the money saved when he was told to move in. He's living with his family right now.

The owner of the house was extremely generous and he said he didn't want to do an eviction or force me to kick anyone out around the holidays but he also didn't want to wait until January or February to start dealing with the roaches. I paid for everyone to have a storage unit for two months to keep their stuff in while I worked on dealing with the problem. Everyone else got packed up and moved most of their stuff out quickly. The roommate with autism dragged his feet with cleaning up. I told him that he had to get move of his stuff moved out by November or I was going to kick him out because I'm not ge

I've been starting to open my mind to changing my ideas about masking. A lot of them come from my sister who struggled very heavily with wanting to appear like everyone else and not stand out, so I'm biased based on experience.

At the same time, I recognize that forcing or pressuring people into masking when they don't understand why would be traumatic to them and ultimately do the opposite of what is intended.

I feel like unmasking should be done in private or around people who will understand it. Unmasking could in theory be done all the time, but not everyone would understand it.

What's your position on it? Do you mask in public but not in private or around only people who understand it?

I want to work on being more accepting and I have feelings in both directions.

It's not a serious hording issue or anything like that, but there's way more stuff then I want and we let things go since the pandemic. We've always been good about making sure that actual trash eventually gets thrown away.

There's also a huge problem downstairs because I rent out the rooms down there and the 'beards never take care of the house and actively try to cause as much trouble as they can it seems like. I've had to ban food in rooms and eating in rooms and mandate disposable plates and utensils because they don't get washed otherwise, even though it's wasteful.

If I wasn't going downstairs to clean up after the 'beards, it would become an unsanitary hoarding situation.

I know that cleaning isn't always fun but eventually the situation will get away from you.

I feel like it's a bit of a long shot. I could see how certain things like being depressed could contribute to being withdrawn and lead to a lack of social skills.

I feel like my sister was misdiagnosed because I tend to be the voice of compassion when we talk about issues related to people with autism.

And of course there's a correlation between having autism and being trans.

It feels like it was intended to be a religious allegory considering the other symbolism in the game.

Bonus points if anyone remembers the game this is from.

Egg is a meme for a trans person who hasn't realized it yet.

Context: In that level you play as a female character. It will be 20 years old in November.

This is for people that I live with.

I don't mean any lame team building exercises, but casual group activities. It could be something mundane like organizing a trip to the store together. Movie trips would also be fine as would showing something on the home projector, though I feel like there'd be more distractions and temptation at home.

I've had problems with roommates on the spectrum that I rent out to who seem to think that they should ask for explanations of rules as a way of trying to argue. Normally I'd assume they're just trying to be jerks and look for backdoor ways of arguing or "concern trolling," but I'm open to the slim possibility that they don't actually understand or this is their way of trying to discuss it.

They also try to argue and play lawyer games when it comes to guilt. If I see a plate in their room, they're getting fined for eating in there. It doesn't matter if it was someone else because they allowed it.

It occurred to me that they might genuinely not understand what is going on.

This isn't one that I made but it's super inactive.

I created a worldbuilding community for Lemmy users. There are worldjerking and worldmemeing companion subs that will be linked from there. c/Worldbuilding is a place for creators to share contents from fictional worlds that they create. Almost anything that you create for you world can be shared.

I found Firefish which is a better alternative to the standard Mastodon application. It's compatible with Mastodon and has better features. It allows users to create web pages and the character limit is 3,000 instead of the 500 on Mastodon. It feels like a good limit for the type of site that it is. Plus this means that it can handle long posts from users on customized Mastodon instances.

I have a specific question if anyone happens to know the answer.

Do anyone know how and where to create the pictrs directory for Lemmy? I'm getting an error any time I try to upload files.
