Anyone know what happened to slrpnk? I’m ootl

Edit: Startpage search returned this since I couldn’t find anything through Mlem’s search function. Seems the admin is away from the server hardware until the late winter holidays.

Do you try to force a daisy to bloom in winter? Do you insist a bear comes out of its hibernation? Must the bee produce honey or cicada buzz out of tune with its own nature?

We, too, have our seasons. It’s okay. Winter is a season of winding down, of the rest phase before renewal. Our societies demand we maintain productivity when our bodies tell us otherwise, and we do what we must to keep food on the table and a roof over our head but beyond that it’s okay to rest.

The Danes and Norwegians have a concept called hygge that embraces the cold weather season. It’s also why a lot of northern hemisphere countries (can’t speak for elsewhere, feel free to chime in) make it a season of lights and festivity.

I’ve also got seasonal affective and take vitamin D, and the reasoning above is how I cope with each year. Accepting the hibernation feeling and adapting with gentle love instead of force is not weakness.

Lemmy has its own memes already:

• Beans

• Corn

• Deanposting

• Jeanposting

• Obsessions with Linux (not exclusive to Lemmy but characteristic of)

• That one person last year who asked about holding their poop for a week

ETA: also moths. Lots of moths

Waves of good news putting a balm on my burned heart today 🥰 did not have this on my bingo card but that’s an awesome win!

Can we get a list of what counts as “Big Tech?” Lemmy is already my only social media and I don’t use any messengers outside of Signal and Simplex. Are we talking classical Silicon Valley (FAANG)? Chromium browsers? Anything at all on an iPhone or Android? What about game platforms?

This is so vague.

I didn’t know stinkbro vampires were a thing

I’m past the point of wanting to be, and more focused on what I want to do.

I’m actually pretty happy with who I am and a lot of that has come with age, wisdom, and having the support system to be more fully and bravely myself. I’m confident and happy enough to worry a lot less of others’ view of me because of that steady foundation. I also know that’s a massive privilege.

What I want to do is make other people’s lives better where I can. I want to share the advantages given to me, the resources I have, and leave things a little better in my wake than when I found them. I want to lift others up and see them grow and thrive. Whether or not people know or even remember that is not something I’m concerned with, because it’s the impact I care about.

I also want to enjoy the time I have while I have it. I know I’m only one person and can’t change the whole world by myself or at once and operate within that framework. And I’m mostly okay with that now.

Standard time is where most human circadian rhythms naturally land, so yeah.

iFixIt style kit. Drills and standard screwdrivers are a given in a household but when you need to fix your glasses or get the batteries out of something small it makes a world of difference, especially with little spudgels/tweezers to help the cause.

Beans, Glorious Beans

Edit: I confused my actors lmao I thought this was Gregory Peck.

Damn the ‘60s were rough on people

The implication is OP is asking for what time they were born so a prospective date/gf can make them a “star chart,” or astrology write-up.

Definitely: throwing a bash. Got the house like 90% decorated, still gotta make a couple treats but I’ve got the set list and food and everything else ready and I can’t wait.

Hopefully: handing out candy to trick or treaters. Recently moved to a cute neighborhood, I got a bunch of sweets and the front porch light will be on as long as I’m awake pretty much.

Halloween is my top favorite holiday and sharing mischievous joy is how I like to celebrate 😄🎃

I’m not big on psychedelics (unless THC counts), but I can put together a mean playlist of all the classics 😉

As long as straight, white, wealthy Protestant men aren’t the victims. They see suffering while poor to be their own fault, and original sin fallacy means women must also endure because god has to punish them for being born female. It’s honestly kind of terrifying to see.

Basically like “warming/cuddle season” I imagine. Love these comics thank you as always for sharing 😄

Bootstraps-ass Gen-X type advice lol

Assuming the worst of everyone leads to bitterness, compadre. Not everyone will reciprocate, sure, but compassion often begets compassion.

Complaining in the right channels also changes things: see city council meetings :)

The OOP account reeks of ragebot to be honest.

No profile picture, decent grammar, lack of spelling errors and use of “sewing circle” instead of actual common conservative derogatory language.

The upper-limit of educated/wealthyish MAGA/Trump support base is absolutely not spending their time online frothing at the mouth over word choices, nor are they likely to call others in their cohort “overeducated.” 🤔

I have no idea what the messaging is even supposed to be here.

Slop is definitely shit posting, but doesn’t quite fit the spirit of shitposting
