“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.” - CS Lewis; Out of the Silent Planet
We can’t go back, but your remembrance of how good it was back then is pleasurable in and of itself. Wishing you well on your journey, time-voyager.
Unfortunately, there are times where there’s no way to “be liked by everyone” and “have healthy boundaries”. Now is the time to be firm with boundaries.
Wishing you luck

2-pi toilet paper…
A few years ago I went back to a browser-based Facebook game called “Starfleet Commander”. It was much more popular in 2007.
It is SUPER dead now, but that didn’t stop me from recently playing for 2-3 years.
Pokemon TCG Pocket!
And also FF6 Pixel Remaster.
It was an April Fools joke
I was gonna say… I wouldn’t think NYC’s bank account would be completely inaccessible to the US Treasury.
Does this really have implications for private citizens?
(I’m asking a genuine question, here not supporting Musk/Trump or anyone else. I fuckin hate those assholes.)
Damn, I’m the only one using Mlem?

The original intent is what my understanding was and why I don’t upvote reposts across multiple communities.
Just a few moments ago I upvoted a post that I didn’t “like” because the discourse on it was so good.
…There’s definitely stuff I still hate-downvote tho 😈
Permanently Deleted
Still up to the site itself to decide what is “violating content”. This puts a chilling effect on upvoting and gets Reddit one step further from what it once was.
Pretty sus they all passed, but definitely lost a legend in Hackman
About fucking ready to wipe Budget rental car off the face of the earth for the bullshit they gave me about their insurance.
Learned a tough lesson from that one.
Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.
Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.
In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).
And here I am near the end of the day saying “well fuck, guess I’m working late tonight to deliver this thing I promised.”
I do this to myself…
I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”
Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.
You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.
Sorry for your loss.
Tbh, I’ve heard both
Need a lot of oil tho…
Got excited watching Shogun and made a bokken (wooden sword) from an oak dowel
Table saw to get straight sides. Belt sander to get a curve to the blade tip.
The spine doesn’t have a curve like a traditional bokken, but that doesn’t keep me from tucking this bad boy into my belt loop and walking around the house like a samurai :)
Instagram thinks I should reduce my privacy protections
Error message when trying to view an Instagram post sent from a friend: “If this page is not displaying as expected, you can reduce advanced privacy protections which may resolve issues”.
No, I don’t think I will.
I love Lemmy!
Was just browsing my favorite communities, commenting on posts I found really interesting, and engaging with other users who wanted to have conversations.
… and not a single paid ad in my feed. I effing love this platform.
