personal whining 

@pastelsinmysky I’ve been like that recently too—trying to be gentle with myself and get the rest I need as much as possible, but it’s hard 🫂

@coreo planes really do provide some spectacular people watching on occasion

tech, non-conformance to expectations 

@sysadmin1138@octodon.social its absurd that “i’m a competent professional looking for fair pay and good working conditions” isn’t considered sufficient reason to work there. Like, if you treat your employees well they’ll generally stick around regardless of whether it’s their ““passion”” or whatever

@rowyn one time i was v casually like ‘oh yeah last time i got my hair cut i took of nine inches and no one even noticed’ and the person i was talking to got kinda indignant like ‘i would have noticed!!!’ sorry but you definitely didn’t 😂

i hope you’re enjoying your new haircut!

missing person 

@celli@octodon.social 🫂

@rowyn awwwww

She did warn him he’d gotten a new dress! Guess he didn’t realize how serious she was about it 😆

@soph_sol @thalassa @villainousfriend ahhhh i’d always assumed it was just the stigma around the uncleanliness of butchers & hunters! The idea that it also references their current spiritual beliefs re:the vices is fascinating though

@being i met one recently (the dr who / sherlock / keep calm and cary on variant) and it was a bit of shock bc i’d forgotten what they were like. Which made me realize how long it had been, it was like seeing a timetraveler from 2012 😂

@being I'd add "people who are super into british culture" to the list but fortunately that one seems to be in steep decline

@ljwrites as someone who has at various times maintained a weekly link-list habit i know well enough to make no promises about duration 😅

but I have ended up much better about checking my RSS regularly through my attempts so, partial win!

@ljwrites lists of links to articles/posts you read recently are always helpful for helping other people fill their RSS feeds *and* incentivize keeping up with your own for a bit haha

@stelepami ahhh that makes sense

And yeah I’m not sure I’d want my state symbolically represented by a different existing thing

@stelepami is that particular shade of dark saturated purple from a football jersey or some other existing thing? It seems oddly consistent in tint/hue

veterans day 

@Lady at the very minimum u shld b advocating 4 more money for veterans and less for making new soldiers

food 

@pagrus i’ve lived in a house with one since I was fairly young also (and am not asian) — i think if you already have some sort of slow/pressure cooker already enough of the features are duplicated that maybe it feels unnecessary? or if you just dont eat much rice / eat stuff like tahdeek that rice cookers cant do

but rice cookers do their primary job sooooo well and their secondary functions are also v convenient so like, I’ve only got 4 appliances total and I’d rank the rice cooker 2nd in terms of essentiality

@Forestofglory i’ve also got two this week 😔 hope your second one goes smoothly

what's your fave breakfast that isn't cereal? 

@aldercone usually i have toast with butter and jam, but yoghurt and granola are also nice

maybe not a super doable option for teenagers specifically but my rice cooker has an steel-cut oatmeal option and I love the convenience of just throwing some grains in a pot with water, pushing some buttons, and waking up to breakfast having made itself (when i’m feeling ambitious i add a diced apple or some spices or a handful of dried fruit)

@essentialrandom depends on how radicalized your coworkers have already gotten from the shitty working conditions but i assume anyone considering a 27 programs already feeling pretty desperate
