Over time, it became clear that none of the rings matched, and only one of the three is quality material.
I wish I had spent more on the engagement ring to get a setting that doesn’t stick out so much, it’s too stabby and scratchy. I’d also want to track down a lab grown diamond if I had it to do over again.

I’m not about to trust my life to a signal when so many drivers are too busy on their phones to notice the big lights in front of them shining a different color than it did a second ago.

My commute is not so busy that I have to deal with slowdowns, I can listen to whatever while I go to and from work. It’s a nice little break where I decide what is happening. A manual transmission would add to the sense of control, but alas, I haven’t bought one of those. Also strictly enforced speed limits limit the enjoyment.
Please get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, take a walk outside, then pick up a dictionary for reference and rewrite this post.

Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•*Permanently Deleted*English7·5 months agoOne solution might be to have gaming systems at your house that your nephew is allowed to play when he’s there. Not the nephew’s system at your place, your system that you and him and your brother all play together whenever they visit.
Bonus points if it’s a system you and your brother used to play back in the day.

This movie is so fun! I often like the behind-the-scenes of movies more than the actual movie, so this one is perfect. So many references to other movies, and many many meta jokes built around this being a movie about the making of a movie kept me highly entertained

It might take a few ventures into different styles of writing, different goals of what kind of things to record, different viewpoints. Are you writing to your future self? Maybe to the diary as an entity in itself? Maybe you would want to write to a historian who finds this page later on? Whatever floats your boat, write that way.
For me, it’s all the stuff I’d want to tell someone close to me, things I’m excited or sad about, things I’m confused about and just need to see in writing to stop going in circles about it in my head.

It’s really hard to know what to do. Both a changed dad who hopes to start new and an unchanged man who is just waiting for a chance to re-traumatize you would say similar things and be very friendly at first.
Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Your explanation of federation that it "works like email" will be misunderstoodEnglish10·7 months agoYes. You can use it without understanding how it works behind the scenes. At some point, they’ll run into a situation where it is helpful to learn some part of how the fediverse works and then they can ask about it, generating more content and interaction along the way
Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse?English212·10 months agoDon’t.
I like what this is, I don’t want it to become everything for everyone

Might as well have let them be used and broken and rare.

Wish me luck, and ask me anything.English3·11 months agoAh, so it does make a big difference to do all the banking on a laptop. Ball and chain analogy intensifies
Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I'm giving up my smartphone for a month (and hopefully longer). Wish me luck, and ask me anything.English5·11 months agoThere are standalone hotspot devices.
Does banking on a laptop ruin the experiment for you?

Seems like it’s time to make an updated depiction
Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Canvas is coming Back! (July 12th)English381·1 year agoLemmy is not a “they” who did this. Lemmy is the platform on which a user decided to share their canvas idea thing. Anyone who is not interested in this idea can block the person who posted it and any community where they see the same idea again.
I was told when I was buying that someone else had ordered the set of rings, came in to pick it up and said “nah.” So they were way way cheaper than anything else in the store.
I don’t believe that story anymore
