Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just… Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.
The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.
Politics… Too dumb to understand them and honestly don’t care to vote about anything. Everyone’s corrupt anyways.
Despite corruption, try looking for which parties spread the least hatred. That’s a good start, surely?
Usually never win lol
And Labour won a landslide in the UK! Good stuff!
Bro here acting like a lil bro with his lil bro
Mine was actually pretty good. I volunteered at a stables on Friday evening. Watered and groomed some horses for a couple hours. Got a haircut on Saturday and my dog got groomed. Spent Sunday playing video games.
My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We’ve spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven’t seen in months. It’s been a good time and we’ll be here for the rest of the week.
That sounds both cool and terrifying.
Why terrifying?
All of existence is a thin veneer of order over a roiling sea of chaos. Terror is the primordial experience, at times merely occluded by the colorful distractions of gaiety and hope.
Depends, I guess.
Are they riding fast Moto Guzzis? Really terrifying but also a lot of fun I imagine. Big, slow-ish Harleys? Not that terrifying, also pretty fun and damn cool IMO.
Far far too short, though did have a mates birthday so that was fun
Not good
Same.
I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.
Yeah it was a weird experience.
Yes that sounds like nothing compared to the hellish experience of being forced to go to comic con.
I think you’re making fun of me but trust me it was not ok
“Making fun” isn’t quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you’re being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.
I know it seems trite, but it’s important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.
It really sounds trite. I just don’t think I’ll ever change. I’m aware enough that I’m not emphatic. That’s just isn’t me and I almost never enjoy things, even the things I do for myself.
There are mutual aid communities on lemmy where you might be able to find someone willing to send you some cash through an app. Good luck.
Got the air conditioner mounted in the bedroom in time for the heatwave. Now to take a quick afternoon nap and then work on the fence.
Up and down. Depression hit me super hard, slept/read 14-hour days, but despite that, there were some great things.
Took the family out on my little 10’ boat and watched the downtown fireworks from the river. We were directly underneath, cardboard shells raining on us! What a rush! None of us has ever seen anything like it.
Been limping along with a shit fridge that barely works. Got a new one from FB for $200! Nicest fridge I’ve ever had. Going to be a huge project swapping them. Hell, getting it out of the other guy’s house was a chore.
And tonight we’re hitting Aldi and loading up on food. Can’t wait to have a good fridge, freezer and ice maker again.
That sounds interesting enough.
Congratulations!!!
A working fridge is a great thing!
Mine’s been great! Was playing some old games that I still love

I’m very sorry. It’s so hard to lose them.
Ngl this is one of the reasons I never wanted any pet after reaching adulthood.
Rip to the dogs.

Very sorry dude(tte). These are tough moments :(
Sorry for your loss.
My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it’s still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I’m glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.
Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I’ve relaxed my “catch and release, no kill” rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don’t see any right now. Guessing I’ve killed like 40 so far. Apparently it’ll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don’t catch some of the few bugs in here.
I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.
I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I’m working 12 hours which is annoying but that’s life.
Spent most of today on trains coming back to Germany from my 2 weeks Interrail trip to the UK. Had a great time there. Spent yesterday exploring Bath and climbing up Solsbury Hill in the evening.
