june, in Anyone who recently had a "Yup, it was that kinda day" day. What happened?

It happened over two days.

Thursday 2 weeks ago I got laid off due to the economic environment.

The stock market hit a new record high that day.

The next day a grant I got one of my programs named in came through for 80k. Between that and my other program revenue, I’d have been fully paying for myself the next 2 years.

CaptainArcher, in How much does the original book have to change to be considered fanfiction?

Not sure you understand what fanfiction even is.

JPJones, in Anyone who recently had a "Yup, it was that kinda day" day. What happened?

3 days ago. Main drain pipe for the house clogged. Poo water came up both shower drains. We had the house cleaned that morning. Toilets unusable for most of the day. $800 to get it fixed due to complications because of old house. At least it was fixed same day I guess.

2013 is when everything started to turn into shit for me. But even then, it was still a very unique year, and every year in the rest of the decade still felt pretty cool to experience despite being different flavors of hell.

And then the 2020s happened. Everything basically turned into a monotone greyscale life with even the slightest hint of smiles sucked out of my life.

Further evidence that the world ended in 2012, and its just a slower process than John Cusack movies led us to believe.

Resol, in I am to celebrate new years eve alone. How can I celebrate solo?

Bejba, that’s kajnda krejza (reference to the Polish entry of Eurovision 2023)

Resol, in what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Move to the European Union, specifically Belgium

Because life = ??

cashews_best_nut,

Of all the fucking countries you choose Belgium?! Do you have brain damage?

Daxtron2,

non-eu here, why do we hate Belgium

JJROKCZ,

They’re probably anti-EU and Brussels (Belgium) contains one of the EU headquarters

ridethisbike,

He must not like waffles

ridethisbike,

Yea dude you’re gonna have to elaborate on that one… And you’re gonna need more than “because Belgium sucks”… Cuz like… Their waffles slap…

AbsoluteChicagoDog, in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

Why do people feel the need to brag about how they don’t use social media?

DarkDiamondK, in What’s your go to driving song?
@DarkDiamondK@lemmy.world avatar

Dreams-Fleetwood Mac, if I throw on a playlist with shuffle and I get this first, I know it’s gonna be a good day

A_Random_Idiot, in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

Don’t.

Thats the only advice you need.

cation, in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

“The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up.”

That’s not a problem, that’s a privilege very few people get to enjoy. Fuсk social media and fuсk Facebook in particular.

hemko,

Yep, that is something I’ve tried to achieve for years… I’m jealous for you OP

Pyr_Pressure, in How to stop eating junk food?

Stop buying it.

It’s a lot easier to stop yourself from eating a bag of chips while watching YouTube if it’s not just sitting there in your pantry and you have to go to the store to buy it.

You just have to resist the urge to get the junk food during your grocery trips, not every hour you’re at home and bored.

Atelopus-zeteki,

Exactly what I came here to say.

quiterather, in what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?

I will find more time to sneak away from my family and gamble.

dudinax, in Does anyone else feel like every year is like the movie 'Groundhog Day'? Same holidays, same birthdays, same work week, etc

That’s not how it works. When you’re stuck in a Groundhog Day, you’re the only one that notices.

Copythis, in What's your favorite instrument that really gets through to you?

I’m going with the Mellotron.

It’s a keyboard that uses strings of tapes for each note. It pulls the tape over a head and plays that note until the tape runs out. When you’re playing fast, sometimes the tape isn’t all the way down, so it makes everything sound super custom.

Think Strawberry Fields by the Beatles. That’s a Mellotron you’re hearing.

Kolanaki, in What is the goofiest Christmas present you received this year?
