And then another shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle.

Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my “well invested” taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I’m greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I’m still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already…

Makes sense…

Parasite Eve 2.

But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).

Lower water activity reduces bacteria.

Not sure about flavour/texture however.

Good choice.

When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they’re hardly informed, you get this. Here’s your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.

“It’s only a cold”

FFS.

Being in the UK no one believed me when I was concerned at school after hearing about 9/11. My grandad was in there, and it took us a whole day to get a hold of him to find out if he got out in time… 9 year old me hearing on the radio coming back from swimming after a trip at school that the Twin Towers got hit, I remember turning thinking I misheard it to ask my teacher left to me in the coach “My grandad works in there”.

Her eyes opened wide. I got collected early from school by my crying mother early. Then I understood and got worried. No one at my school helped calm me, thankfully I must have looked so clueless and confused anyway. I was an odd kid so no one probably cared or noticed.

Odd day. Don’t really need to explain much else.

So in answer to the comments on here saying kids don’t remember, of course they do! We didn’t just start consciousness and wake up at age 10 or whatever.

You’re definitely right, it can affect second-hand, even if the child didn’t directly understand.

They are sadly.

The man she gave a jobby to also happens to own a pro LGBT club too despite her cries in public about it…

Good on you man. It’s critical to work somewhere that respects people for their skills and work ethic. Not arbitrary expectations.

Similar situation myself.

Some places will understand. Many don’t. I’ll be either brutally honest in a interview or I’ll set those boundaries.

“There’s been a rumor that – you know, a very nice rumor – that you go outside in the sun or you have heat and it does have an effect on other viruses,”

“I’m going to speak to the medical doctors to see if there’s any way that you can apply light and heat to cure, you know, if you could.”

I had a good few years running until you did that, mate…

My excuse when I can’t rhyme or rap from now on ;)

I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade…

But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn’t power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn’t support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.

Cold turkey since.

Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I’ll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.

I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it’s difficult, but I’ve managed to do it.

Shame there’s not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn’t even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there’s nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn’t be judged for it either. It’s fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user… in most cases ha ha! I’m pro voice and choice! ;D

I’m trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that’s healthy for me personally.

There’s less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn’t down or breaking my comment/post submissions I’ll have a better time engaging with the site, I don’t find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don’t find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.

Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it’s mostly due to less users at this point though.
