8·1 year agoHahaha my god you should make a collage out of those photos of her, I’d love to see these.
Also, sorry for what you went through. My birth mother is a narcissist, so I can relate. It can be quite liberating to have fun at their expense, though!
- Meditating (not very good at it, but getting better and it’s seriously helping)
- Blocking Reddit on my router, blocking political communities in Lemmy
- A consistent, normal sleeping schedule (a bedtime routine is more important than a morning routine, imo)
- Yoga every morning to help my body work with me throughout the day
- Reading more books
- Getting outside more often
- Paying closer attention to the thoughts that cross through my mind and stopping them when they’re not helpful - this also helped me realize the underlying anxiety that’s been with me for who knows how many years
- Drinking more water
Edit: Oh I also:
- Quit drinking alcohol, almost at the 1 year mark
- Quit smoking weed, almost at 2 months fully sober now
I did these things one at a time, not everything at once. Mostly just sharing what I did here, but if you plan to do the same - listen to yourself. Start with #7 imo so you get a better idea of what you’re up against. If it feels like too much, take a step back and slow down. You’re not failing when you do this, you’re helping your future self not fail entirely.
Edit: facepalm I’m just noticing this is a community for the Boost for Lemmy app, not the official site. Please ignore me.
In your account Settings, scroll down to the Languages section and select Undetermined and other languages you’d like to see.It’s not 100% foolproof, because as others have stated, the language tag isn’t required. But it significantly reduced most of the foreign-language posts I was seeing on the All feed, without impacting the feed in a negative way (AFAIK). For the remainders, you can just block the community if needed.

Nice.
I copied it via Google Lens and pasted into a file to read.
YMMV.
Dear
Thank you for you
I am so glat you are interested in stick insects Tattoo and when I was your age talve kept son. They are indred fascinating
There are at least two thousand five hundred different species world-wide Most come from the tropics and only a love spectes ever reach this coustry. Sowstifically speaking they belong to groep called the Pharmaton which coesaink bei enguthe left and the stick insects
Suck insects exally do Soksactly like this gyvonvo impossible to spot to the wars they move. They don’t, in fact, dering the day but quite a lot during the night. The kind that is usually brought er here are nearly freies and lay eggs that are fertile without having being fortlined by the The egy look actly like their dropping and sometimes people who keep them don’t one that and throw them away when they are duning out their sages
The one of which you sent me a photograph, however is tot, howeverak sext. ft’s a leaf insect. There are many many ferent species of these as well They vary in the food they prefer and many eat other kinds of leaves than the hawthorn and be and which you say yours perfer. Many of them are even more Chelves than yours, with owtht on their legs that look
6·1 year agoYeah wouldn’t it also be like super cold inside from the temp not being 72F prior to them entering? I mean if it was cold enough to freeze the pipes and all, seems like just they’d be able to tell what’s what as soon as they opened* the door.
Edit: Fixed a typo
I blacklisted the site on my router, worked like a charm. Am much happier without it!
My landlord is really awesome, I didn’t realize tipping them was a thing we should do. What’s the etiquette for this? Monthly? Only when a service is needed? Etc
Can’t believe I’m about to say this, but hear me out … take a gander at “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.
For the record, every time someone mentioned this to me, I’d cringe with disgust. I avoided it for most of my life because I viewed the content as a way to manipulate people. And yeah, maybe it kinda is, but at its core, it explains human psychology and the way our brains really work. We’re just kinda selfish, ya know? Most of us need to get before we even think about giving. We’ve got a lot to worry about and too much to focus on sometimes.
Idk, maybe there are better books out there, better references, etc. But that book helped me with a lot of my social issues, improved relationships with my coworkers, etc. To me, it’s more than just a “Tell them why they want it before even asking them” type of thing, it helped me understand the other person’s point of view better, helped me empathize with their needs before charging through, full speed ahead. Instead of thinking “this is a really good idea, everyone should back me”, I think more about how it would actually benefit others instead of “this is what I want, we should do it”.

TIL, thanks!
fetal bovine serum (FBS)… is derived from the blood of calf fetuses after their pregnant mothers are slaughtered by the meat or dairy industry.
I did not know this… and after reading the wiki, I found it rather disturbing…
The first stage of the production process for FBS is the harvesting of blood from the bovine fetus after the fetus is removed from the slaughtered cow. The fetus dies from the lack of oxygen by remaining in the protective environment of the uterus for a minimum of 15–20 minutes after the cow is dead…
This is an interesting take, and one I hadn’t thought of before. We should definitely keep punching up, and maybe start punching out, too.
