What have you done recently that makes you stand back and proudly say, “I did that shit”?

I’m frankly in a phase of life where I am seeing with ever fresh clarity all the mistakes I’ve made that have led me to the rather solitary life I lead. And many days I’m just keeping my interactions with others to a minimum so that I don’t create any opportunities to feel shit about my interpersonal skills. But, and so, nonetheless, I manage to find self-pride in very little things.
Like how this week I learned all these keyboard shortcuts to make my editing of a text document faster. Or today, some kid was lingering by the basketball court awkwardly — like heartbreakingly awkward in his own skin. I asked him if he wanted to shoot a few before I headed home and made him a deal that I wasn’t allowed to go home 'til he shot a 3-pointer. I let him have as many tries as he needed until he get one.
Hey, I just want to suggest that you treat your past self as kindly as you treated the awkward kid. We all fuck up on things, it’s okay.
Got some certifications
Also, from a different trainer
Very cool, I know that took a lot of dedication.
When you have nothing going on for long enough, you find little things to do to stay sane.
I also made this game but haven’t worked on it in a while:

And made a Minecraft add-on that lets you tame bats that can see ores through walls and attack enemies.
Planted a small orange tree in the yard. Dug a big hole. Mixed topsoil and citrus fertilizer. Expect to see first fruit in 3-4 years.
Mother’s Day gift for my wife.
Love that! I hope it stays healthy and you get a fruit for many years.
Setting time limits is smart. Now you’ve GOT to get married and have a kid within the next couple of years. Smart.
Or you could do it inside out… get married then get a fruit tree, so they HAVE to stick around just to get to try the fruit. Trick is keeping it going for a few decades. That’s where fruit-tree LADDERING comes in. Plant a new one every few years. Wait till fruit. Rinse, repeat.
A true visionary. People could learn from your devious ways. I salute you.
I reunited my wife with her semi-estranged son on Mother’s Day. Feeling pretty damn great about how today turned out.
i know i’m breaking the rules, but i’m really proud of the dude that just got some certifications.
Hey, thanks! :-)
I’m proud of you for being kind to others
hey, fuck you!
And now the universe is balanced again.
And now I’m proud of you for not referencing The Avengers
You probably would, you simulated schooner
BOOM! what’s that? just some asshole in the internet :P
me IRL :(
At least you’re actually old. I got this name from some 18-year-olds that I used to play Modern Warfare with when I was 21 :-/
My partner and I managed to go through immigration to move to another country. We landed yesterday.
I’m in that track too! Soon, so very soon.
It’s quite the logistics effort unless you can afford lots of help.
We’re just doing it by hand, so it’s crazy most days, but we’re getting there.
From and to which countries, if you don’t mind me asking?
I did well training and sparring visiting a martial arts club in the next town. I’m preparing for a tournament next Sunday, my first one.
“Tonight”, man it’s 7:46am /s
Either way on the proccess of moving all my vps’s and local homeserver all to nixos, just for the fact I can easilly update them all from one flake ( nixos system config ) from one single system without ever directly touching thise system.
Also almost finished the whole “The witcher the last wish” book, need to buy the next one.
Sounds like an ansible job, or a Guix Deploy scenario. No idea what president Nixon has to do with orchestration
In this video you have a nice part where wolfgang expains the diff between ansible and nixos, would recommend a watch.
I put on my pants frontwards today!
Aye, thats something to be proud of because I have definitely left the house with my pants on backwards before LOL
I may or may not have done the same thing once or twice before.
Ima try again tomorrow.
I am! I cooked two awesome meals and helped my wife finally migrate to linux.
I handed in the proposal for my graduation project last night.
Recently became sous chef at the kitchen I work in. Constantly felt like I wasn’t good enough and so I’ve been putting more responsibility on myself to make sure things are done correctly.
Yesterday I coordinated our mother’s day buffet and it went perfectly. No hiccups, no running out of items. Even got acknowledged by my chef for doing such a good job. Felt pretty great.
Voluntarily left my cushy job in marketing (SEO manager) after ten years and was substitute teaching in the meantime. Discovered I loved it (always kicked around being a teacher) and love the positive connections made with the kids.
I’m starting my MEd (Masters of Education program) May 19 to be an elementary school teacher. Not that it matters, but I’m a 40+ father of an elementary school kid myself.
Closing on my first home this week.
In the USA. In this uncertain economy.I don’t know what the future holds.
I’m terrified, excited and anxious.… Might need a new Lemmy handle.
I am mentally torturing my friends on minecraft with crafting tables. I have made christ the redeemer out of crafting tables. I have filled our base with crafting tables. I have built hundreds of crosses out of crafting tables. I am gods hand and he is telling me to craft.
