  • Don't Talk To Me Or My Sun Ever Again

  • No one calms down by being told to calm down.

    No one gets a better attitude by being told to have a better attitude.

  • I don't think it should count if the sentence conveys the same meaning if the fuck word is removed. That eliminates half this list.

    And OP hasn't included phrases that should have obviously been on the list, e.g. "that's fucked up"

  • Keep browsing eBay and HotUKDeals. You can easily find something really good for <£200.

    This 11th Gen Intel Dell laptop was going to £150 this morning and I was on the verge of ordering it and adding more RAM.

    This sub is obsessed with Thinkpads, but when you're looking for a secondhand bargain then you pick up what comes opportunistically. The market is flooded with Dells because businesses change machines long before they go out of date and generally keep them in very very good condition.

  • Here's what's even weirder: imagine what you're saying, but for sex instead.

  • But first.... 5 different standards of normal USB-C and if you use the wrong type then it will damage your battery. Fuck you Nintendo.

  • Do not use the flame from this to make the temp of the sun exceed 50°

  • For clarification, parents have always been urged to get their children vaccinated. For any parents reading this, this is not new advice.

  • I do this with movies in IMDB. Bookmark movies I'm meaning to watch. Rate the movies I have watched. You need to find a website or ap that let's you track games in this way. I can see there's IGDB.com, but have never tried it. This game tracking will happen on your phone and be seperate from your collection, so it doesn't matter which market or platform you use.

    Game suggestions are more difficult. Sites tend to suggest sponsored content and AAA expensive suggestions. The better way to find new content is from user forums or trusted reviewers/publications.

  • Stop following news. I've blocked news and politics related stuff on Lemmy too.

    Also speak to your girlfriend. I'm not on any mainstream social media. My wife loves watching war atrocities on her social media feed and gossip drama. It has taken years for her to accept I don't want to see that shit.

  • Huge vote for mailbox.org. They have calendars, contract lists, online storage, etc. I've been able to get rid of Google/gmail almost entirely from my phone.

  • A lot of people are interested in what you're asking for. You could try making a server.

  • Best I found was a Discord server called "dads gaming". Rather than whiny youngsters, you get middle aged med who have little time for gaming, so they play casually and are happy to play with others who are also mediocre. I haven't used this for ages though.

  • I don't understand how social media is seen as the only source of enriching content. I have loads of stuff to talk to people about without social media.

    The only social media I'm on is Lemmy.

    • follow news via RSS. Use an app that let's you blacklist content you don't want to see.
    • follow interests via RSS (gaming news, tech news, movie news, biking news... Whatever you like)
    • listen to podcasts
    • watch movies and TV shows
    • read books
    • follow sports
    • pick a hobby or skill of interest
    • talk to people about their interests

    There are tons of ways to keep up with things. Social media isnt the only option..... Unless you particularly want follow social media trash specifically. If that's the case, then you're welcome to join any social media you want. You won't die. Use fake details, burner emails, burner phone sims if you want. The world won't end if one person goes back to contributing to data mining and consuming algorithm trash. You've got to live in your social circle and that's more important than what a bunch of people on Lemmy think.

  • When my toddler is over excited and bouncing around too enthusiastically and is about to hurt himself. It seems to work OK to ask him to calm down.

    That's one specific situation from my life, since you seemed to imply you were looking for an example.

  • They want you to work in advance and for you to ask them later with thorough explanation for justifying a raise. They'll decide later (end of the year) performance review or salary review.

    I applied for an extra role at work last year. They were reluctant to give it to me "because I hadn't already been doing it" (for free)...shows that I'm not keen. Why the hell would I have done this before when I had any time or resource for it? They didn't have any other applicants so they gave it to me anyway.....but WTF

  • No

    I can't see how people would find out unless your son tells them.

    If you're wondering if ANYONE out there would find this weird, then the answer is yes. There are lots of people who have strange ideas and odd thoughts about what is inappropriate. So if you told lots of people, I'm sure someone would find it weird.

    But that doesnt actually make it weird or wrong. You were right to do what you did. Anyone who tried to judge you for it would be wrong.
