Ouch. How fast were you walking lol?

 

I'll go first:

First day of highschool, slipped and fell in a puddle of vomit, and some kids laughed. Sheepishly went to the bathroom and rinsed my uniform, and put it in my bag. Spent the rest of the day in gym clothes which I luckily had that day, still smelling like vomit though.

Good thing when you don't know anyone yet is nobody remembers.

How do I block users again?

Cockroaches. It was bad. They were everywhere. You couldn't open a door without them falling from the cracks in the doorframe on your face.

Boric acid is what helped as recommended by reddit. We used to clean, and spray with Pyrethrins before that but that only kills the visible ones. Most of the roaches are in their holes and you'll never reach them like that.

What's great about boric acid is that it kills slowly meaning they can infect each other before they die in a chain reaction. They infect even the hidden ones when they go groom each other.

So clean the area, dry it, then just spread the powder where they usually hang out. It'll take a week to notice any effects. Apply again if area gets wet.

Another great thing is unless you ingest a huge amount or inhale it in your lungs, boric acid is mostly safe for humans. Unlike the sprays which always gave us symptoms.

Were you let in?

 

I remember I was at my uni library and I learned from a tweet of the health ministry that schools and unis are shutdown for the foreseeable future. I immediately went home early.

I remember telling my siblings "Meh this will probably last a week or so". lol in hindsight.

What future do you see for your views now that the Republican party has become the Trump party? Where will they be represented: moderate democratic party, republican party after some reforms, or a third party made up of all the old Republicans?

I'm now wondering if you're keeping track of everyone's answers on a spreadsheet

Wow you're younger than I am and I'm just a stupid kid!

Ahem. Do you feel having kids made you more mature in a way?

Yeah that was a letdown for sure. Still better than releasing it as a mobile game I think.

If you haven't heard they recently released the source code of C&C generals and zero hour and there's multiple efforts working on a community patch.

I've been watching the competitive scene of zero hour for a few years now. It's really exciting and now that the source code's out, sky's the limit on what we can achieve.

Thread necromancer should be a Halloween costume

You still can if you come back in 5 years

 

Is it weird? Is it rude? Should threads be archived?

 

There's so many communities I found because someone I looked at the profile of someone who posted there. So many I'd missed despite being on a lot of discovery/promo communities. Just a YSK.

PS: I will be going through the history of anyone who replies to this post :P

 

Feel like everyone's been telling me it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm just a hobbyist with like a single big project I'm maintaining but I'm starting to hate the code and idk maybe I should rewrite it in rust. Idk

 

Anyone lived in one of those volunteer work in exchange for food and bed arrangements? How was it? Any stories?

Story (lemmy.world)
 

One time when I was in highschool, I was having those flashbacks. Memories of things I said that made me cringe. So I decided in order to stop creating more of those, I would keep quiet as much as possible. I'd only talk when someone talks to me.

The next day a classmate had a fight with his friend and switched places to sit next to me. I kept my rule and only spoke when spoken to. It was awkward silence the whole day. By the end I saw him moving back to sit with his old friend.

"I thought you were with droning_in_my_ears?"

"I tried, but he doesn't say anything!"

Damn. Could've made a new friend. That's when I decided better cringe than boring and ended my mute phase.

 
 

So one time I unlocked my mom's car with the remote from inside the house. I took a little while to leave though and the car has an automatic thing where it automatically locks again if left for a few minutes.

When I finally got to the car and pulled the door open, the relock triggered literally as I was halfway through opening the door. So it was kept half closed. Kinda like when you close it but don't put enough force into it? Hard to explain. Anyway I felt like I was being pranked.

 

I've stumbled across videos on YouTube that show snake owners feeding them a live rate or rabbit or whatever. Some people in the comments say well that's just nature, others say it's animal abuse. What do you think?

On reddit I saw a snake owner saying what they normally do is kill the prey beforehand with a CO2 chamber and freeze it, and that there's no reason to feed live. Like the snakes don't need it. If that's true I guess it's needless suffering then. Weird that these videos are so available on YouTube then.

 

The schizophrenic mix of lighthearted filler stories and serious tragic ones, the fake chemistry between the hosts.

To me it makes them sound like aliens trying to act human.
