  • This is an actually top tier meme, thank you for blessing my feed with this masterpiece

    Even though it makes me sad 🥲

  • Man, that's depressing, thanks for sharing, that was well worth the read

  • It doesn't bother me at all 🤷‍♂️ I get excited when I see people from Mastodon, just cause it's neat that I can talk to them via lemmy :)

  • Yaaaaay, welcome back y'all!

  • I'm glad it was a helpful suggestion! Hope you have a lovely day! ☺️

  • Well it's not around anymore so if I see it while I'm out on a walk again or something maybe I can tuck a note in its collar and see if anyone takes it? I just went out to check cause now I'm a bit anxious could have led it away from its home and I don't want it to not be able to get back 😅

    The recurring trend here clearly is me being anxious lol

  • Lol, everyone in the other thread seemed to agree that I should leave it be and that it was outside intentionally, someone very helpfully pointed out the collar looks to be a flea collar so I'm back inside now and hopefully it makes its way back to its owner's unit in the morning

    But I did give it LOTS of scritches and eye kisses and attention, and sat outside or walked with it for probably about an hour

  • Okay, that seems to be the consensus from the other thread too, thank you

  • You might also have some luck with over the ear jobsite ear muffs like the ones made by 3M. If you wanted to maximize quietness you could potentially even try them together with noise cancelling earbuds 😅. Or just regular earbuds but then active noise cancelling might be better anyway.

    In my case earplugs usually give me an ear infection cause they compact my earwax, but at my old job I loved using the earmuffs to keep it quiet in our loud-as-shit workshop

  • It'd help if you let folks know what you need or what isn't working about your existing ones, but here are some options that come to mind :)


    Depending on your needs you might try the over-ear jobsite or shooting range ear muffs. They clamp a little tighter than headphones but I find them less difficult sensory wise than earplugs generally, and they block out more sound. I think the ones made by 3M called "Peltor" are regarded as the best or just really good quality

    But they're a lot more conspicuous, you can't easily interact with the world with them on, and you can't sleep on your side with them if that's a consideration.

    Plus you can easily combine them with earplugs or earbuds for maximum silence or music with some isolation.


    Another thought is the concert earplugs people make that are supposed to keep all frequencies the same relative loudness but just quiet the sound overall so music still sounds good. I think there are tons of cheap ones on amazon- you might take a look at reviews if going that direction sounds like a better fit

  • I assume dexmethylphenidate, it's related to but a slightly different chemical structure vs Ritalin. I'm surprised to see someone use them together given they're so similar

    Though reading the other comment I've learned dextroamphetamine is also a thing, I wonder if that's the chemical structure equivalent for amphetamines/adderal

  • "the 80% of people in the middle" that do Nazi salutes and say Germany should forget the national shame of the Holocaust, while flying to Germany to campaign for and praise the modern day Nazi party...

    How very centrist 😅

  • Man I'm glad to hear that, cause the US isn't exactly a dependable ally right now 😅 (sorry, I wish we were 🥲)

  • I had no idea the ordinances of succession were a thing! Thanks for being a part of this space and sharing your knowledge with us! 😊❤️

  • Aw fuck, I missed it :(

  • Its always a joy to see your posts! I've honestly learned some really cool history stuff from you that I'll carry with me, and that's awesome 😊

  • Yeah, this is definitely a broken corporate system issue rather than a nefarious plot. Google takes down, demonitizes, and issues trikes for all kinds of bogus shit, their system is so incapable of nuance that "nuance" isn't even the right word anymore. There's no evil scheme to silence self hosting, just a horrible, miserably dysfunctional content moderation system that regularly trashes peoples livelihoods if it comes anywhere near prohibited topics.

    If the mistake causes a big enough problem they cares about, like bad publicity via a large channel complaining, they'll probably fix it after a whole protracted mess of a situation. But if it doesn't cause a problem for them it doesn't get fixed. They just really suck at handling the scale of content they host.

    And I might empathize that it's a hard thing to do, if they weren't an effective monopoly and a horrible company.

  • That makes so much more fucking sense, thank you lol

  • Ah, it's ios, but it looks like a lovely lemmy client! Have fun with the update 😊
