It’s juvenile but…my nephews were wrestling, and the older one made the younger one laugh so hard that he shat his pants. The older one said his brother “sneezed out the wrong end” and I absolutely perished. That kid is funny.

Pourquoi?

No toes?

Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, splash of evaporated milk.

Ha, I saw that meme and listened to Casiopea all day long while I took down my xmas tree. 😎

For sleep, I’ll put on some sort of white noise, like rain sounds or a crackling fireplace. That usually gets me feeling sleepy. Or sometimes I’ll read a book that I’m not really into (and then my husband will find me dead asleep with a book in my hand and my glasses still on).

When I’ve had shitty sleep, I avoid coffee. I’m more a tea person anyway, but coffee on top of poor sleep makes me a jittery anxious mess. Strong tea will wake me up without the jitters. And I make myself a big breakfast - something like 2 eggs, 3 pieces of Canadian bacon, a slice of buttered raisin toast, and cantaloupe. No phone, tv, or music until I start feeling energetic.

Is he orange?

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Yeah, aka we want to RIF but are too cheap to pay severance.

I still use minidiscs!

Among American users, this probably has a lot to do with the recent election.

Not enough jeans. :(

Real answer: there’s been an uptick in the amount of content lately, which is great. I’ve also unfortunately noticed an uptick in belligerent comments, which often detracts from the conversations taking place.

I don’t generally say hateful things, so no risk of being censored for that, and I like that my instance doesn’t censor anything that could possibly be considered a slur the way .ml does.

I was originally on .ml and I remember seeing a comment that had a legitimate use of a word that could be considered a slur in another context. I don’t remember the exact scenario, but it was something equivalent to saying “response time retardation” in relation to drunk driving. And “retardation” was censored, which created unnecessary confusion. I’d been thinking of switching instances anyway, and that silly little example is what pushed me over the edge. I guess I’d rather not be cushioned from every word that might be hurtful, especially when doing so can cause confusion.

No hate or disrespect to .ml, by the way - I’m very grateful to Dessalines and crew for creating lemmy and Jerboa, and I respect their right to administer their instance the way they see fit. To me that’s the neat thing about the fediverse - it allows for a “different strokes for different folks” approach. :)

I’m happy with my instance, no complaints!

Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.

Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.

Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.

Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.

Lems are great wide-toed shoes, and they’re about half the price of the Vivos I had. They’re comfy, plus also great for orthotics.
