Sommelier maybe?

Penguins don't own property, silly

Did Peter Ninth bet that horse number nine would come in 1st or something? After all of those nines, he went against it regardless, and lost? Peter needs to pick another pony if he's gonna gamble against all odds anyway

"Therapy shopping"

It may not be the most financially responsible thing, but sometimes I just don't give a damn because it helps to do something nice for yourself.

Did I need to buy my PS5 without saving for it? Probably not. Do I regret it over a year later? Not even a little. It made me happy to buy it, it makes me happy to play it, and I would do it again if given the choice

I too am willing to venture onto page 2. The reviews are what are killing me now though. All the reviews are for the top 5 results, because nobody trusts anything from page 2, when it only has a few buyers and 3 reviews. It's cyclical

And if a product has multiple "styles" to choose from, all the reviews are lumped together, so it's near impossible to figure out which product they're actually talking about.

It's like I'm playing detective, just to determine if the keyboard stand I'm looking for will be worth a damn or not.

Already did earlier this month, specifically because of password issues. Canceled everything except our family music plan. Stremio with debrid works just fine for us

First time I heard peafowl at night, I honestly thought a woman was being murdered in the distance or something. I was a kid and had to ask my parents what was going on. I almost didn't believe them because I didn't even know there were peafowl down the road at all. But that memory always stuck with me lol

What a hot take, I've never thought about it like that before! Holy shit guys brb, I'ma go run to the store quick and buy a house! I've been bamboozled this whole time

Thank you so much for that link! It was wildly pertinent to my life

I just moved into a new place this weekend. It has an addition not connected to central A/C. Instead, it has a little window unit, but also a (one hose) portable unit.

I was using the portable one, because I haven't had time to block the hole that runs outside (especially from critters climbing through). So I hoped that the air blowing out would discourage anything from climbing in

And now I will be taking the time to properly block the hole where the duct runs, because I immediately switched back to the window unit after watching that video

So thank you again! It's the first time I ever encountered a portable unit, so I knew nothing. And coincidentally, I just moved and had the option to use either the window unit or the portable

Just ridiculously relevant to my life as of this weekend! And ya just saved me money on electricity. You're awesome for that link my friend

I'm in the beginnings...and yes, with two Baofeng handhelds lol. Then I got a little SDR kit for receiving. Of course I also needed some cable adapters and ferrite cores, while I was at it. Oh, and the ARRL license manual to study for my technician license (I knew nothing about amateur radio prior to this rabbit hole, so it was actually really interesting to read)

Was supposed to have my technician license already, but life got a little chaotic. Was passing all the practice exams easy and just needed to sign up for the real exam. Hoping to get it done soon, but I have to brush back up a little. Then I'm hoping to move quickly to my general class, while the basics are still fresh.

Even started learning morse code and was getting better at it. Had the alphabet and numbers, could read it just fine, but the listening is what's hard... but still kinda fun. All the Q-codes and slang are what I think will take the longest if I really start getting into CW, but I know that'll be time/experience more than anything

But for now, I just listen-in on my SDR around my area when I can, and have maybe looked into how to grab some NOAA satellite images lol

So yeah, I can see this becoming a bit of a thing for me, because I keep learning more and more, and it all just seems so cool to me. Using the ionosphere to propagate, tropospheric ducting, or even using freaking meteor scatter! So much cooler than I ever thought when I knew nothing

"Omnism" is the closest definition to what I'm trying to define. Debates will never end, but I'm happy with my own path

I'm kind of the same in regards to this bullshit. Of all the crazy shit I've seen during my time on the web; I have never crossed any CSAM. Am I lucky?... probably yes. But is someone(s) being fucking trash and deserves a slow horrible dismemberment, like I've seen online before... I also say yes

They're trolling with that shit, which means they can find that shit (which I haven't come across in my almost 30 years of interwebs use)... and I don't give a shit about "the point" they're trying to troll; because they're contributing to it, at the end of the day. They think they're fucking HaXzOR fuckwits, that found an easy way to cause turmoil?

Welcome. To. The. Fucking. Internet.

Keep that shit up, and they're gonna get got. It's low effort, beyond fucking despicable, and they deserve to rot for even entertaining that approach. And they SHOULD be fucking scared; cause they're on everyone's radar, and I can promise you that they're not as fucking smart as they think

It means to me that they're fucking dumb, (beyond) degenerate, and that they WILL get absolutely fucked by the majority, if they don't slink back to their fucking gutter... and quick. I can promise you that people who give a shit about it and can do something... they're already hunting them down. It's like the type of person that thinks "swatting" people is "LoLz", until they end up in "pound me up the ass" federal-fucking-prison, because they can't conceive the fact that they're not the only one(s) who know how to "use the interwebs"

Fuck around, piss off the right people, and find the fuck out. Think governments don't have the resources to find your ass, when enough reports have been made? Their days are fucking numbered in my eyes, if they don't backstep... but they've already opened a door to be found, so good fucking luck.

So, will I stay the hell off Lemmy? Nah. Just don't sort "by new" for now, until they inevitably get cornered. And they better pray they get cornered by the authorities and not by someone(s) who's got the time to ruin every inch of their being.

Fuck terrorists. And fuck them. Any shit I see is going straight to the proper authority; and the authorities aren't dumb. And with enough reports?... they're gonna go for the source, not the unwilling bystander(s).

This is a feeble attempt at division and fear. Fuck fear... and good luck. Best hope they don't get caught by the hands of someone who's better. They're "playing an ace" when they don't know a god damn thing about cards

Don't sort by new for now; I don't wanna see that shit either. But I'll be damned if I scroll on by (if I do see one) without helping the hammer get slammed down on them. Just a matter of time for those little bitches, if they wanna keep playing with fire.

Fuck them, they should be scared. I'm good here.

And I've got time. Fuck it, I'll make time just to watch them burn. I've dealt with enough bullshit in my life, that I have the energy to contribute to any small bits that I can.

They should be the ones cowering; not us. They made the mistake and I hope they reap what they sow

Absolutely love that show. I kinda have to be in a good headspace to watch it though, cause it has definitely had a negative impact on my own depressive thoughts before. But that show can be so damn cathartic and just a great watch overall

Beehaw, behave, beehive; there's some kinda joke there... honey?

Annotation? Idk, I can't read as is

I'd take offense if I could; but you're right... I think... idk, I can't think. I'm not upset, you're upset!

What's an up set?

Don't be a dick. You just wasted my time with elitist shit about how smart you are. You mad because they said "don't be pissy"?

Well ya sounded pissy to me, and you're doing an even better job of it now. Be better than that

I just bought my first domain and am already starting to dive-in to self-hosting. Even if my server isn't used for the fediverse (at first), I'm excited to stumble my way around a new adventure lol

Apparently the huge emojis are more of a bug within lemmy itself. I'd love to see a fix because they can be annoying, but I believe there's other things on the priority list first... like individual users being able to block an entire instance would be a great feature. But the giant emojis getting fixed is also up there; I just don't know enough to say what the underlying issue is

I like this notion. Now how do I stop doing the "something I enjoy" and start doing "something productive", after I've already started becoming hyperfixated?
