@Punisher1976 @Ruthat It sucks, but dates are compatibility checks and not necessarily a reflection on anything negative about you. If someone wants to spend more time on their phone talking with someone else, consider it all the data you need that they are not right for you. Better to find out early on then to waste time on someone who isn't emotionally available. Carry on. Stay open. Be you.
@Museek Guessing the feeling was mutual!
@igneousidol Nothing worse than sticky messes...ugh. Sounds like you're juggling a lot already, so strip the bed, throw it in a heap, give it the middle finger and do something relaxing before all else!
@kel That explains a lot of things.
@mcfate Agree. He uses every opportunity to reinforce the message, "People shouldn't believe what they see with their own eyes."
@JeSsA Congratulations on your little one! It's very exciting and rewarding being part of nature and experiencing garden success!
@Oma_Trisha It's not about the quilt. It's about the process of becoming a "quillllltt". Strips of fabric joined to keep your heart warm in totally unexpected and precious ways. Everything about that is right.
@LianaBrooks You DID IT!! Well Done! Now you can already imagine the sensation of this personal success and will smile every time you do this simple thing to help your future self!
@MrGoat "i don't see why you complain about things you can control."
Gif-worthy.
@voltronic @corlin PERFECT!! Now I am even MORE excited!
@voltronic @corlin Current mechanical keyboard has seen better days. Taking your advice and just ordered the model M for Mac. Hoping the key covers are good quality and hold the paint. I miss seeing my friends "a" & "s"
@MPCavalier @th3j35t3r Ooops...let's discuss this when you get a bit older....🤣 😂
@bluesbaby @th3j35t3r And we are all the better for it.
@th3j35t3r That's some real emotional pain right there. Like a child learning about Santa.
Hoping she doesn't trash the idea of caring like the cons and grifters, but grows to distinguish genuine worthiness.
Hey CoSo--
Remember: We didn't evolve alongside online tech. It is *very new* for our brain chemistry as a species, which means that the way it plays on our reward response and around hormones for threats/stress is *hugely* out of whack with real danger.
Right now we're all super primed to see threats in others' posts. Death is unfolding as news spectacle, & some are 💯 confrontationally posting to grieve/vent.
Just don't to let the screen consume you. Touch grass. Hug a loved one. Hydrate. 🫂
I've been reading that the only way we can lessen the divide between us is by going back into our communities and beginning to talk to one another again. It's harder to hate people that you talk to face-to-face with a basic degree of respect and cordiality. Don't have to agree, just have to practice being civil to our neighbors and acquaintances. Participating in community projects also helps.
A small transient speck in the spin & vortex. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Curious human. Active listener. Ponderer of now. Pro diversity.
