Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Hobbies Wednesday - what have you done this week?English1·2 months agoBeen going to the gym whenever possible, not the solid routine I’d like, but I’m still enjoying it. Pruned some houseplants that went crazy after a VERY long depression. A few of them might bounce back, we’ll see.
Also got a few works in progress going. They gave us flowers at work so I have one pressing under a book right now, and I’m trying to propagate the stem. Not confident, but I hate to waste a flower, so I’m trying. Also picked a bunch of succulent leaves up off the floor at work. Hopefully something grows 🤞
Nah. I’m not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I’m here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.
If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that’d be nice. But the “good bot”/“bad bot” voting system just became its own form of spam.
Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

What about you guys? Planning to tighten your purse strings?English4·2 months agoBeen planning on it, but shit just got complicated as I’m switching jobs, and I’ll probably have to provide a vehicle if I want a healthy amount of hours. But I’m also NOT going to buy and modify a car before I’m through probation, that’s madness.
So basically I may or may not get screwed by the vehicle tariffs, we’ll see.
Other than that, I’m kind of playing it by ear. I’m already not a huge spender, but I eat well. I decided a long time ago that that’s the last expense I’ll cut, I love food too much. I’ll get rid of everything else before I go back to living on ramen.
That philosophy is about to become unsustainable. I already know I’m going to have a give up lifting weights soon, so I don’t get as hungry, I just don’t know when.

I never really finished moving last summer and shits just thrown everywhere 😅 I finally got everything off the floor, threw it in a basket, and vacuumed a couple times. Now begins the process of finding homes for everything in the basket.
My cat sheds like crazy even with daily brushing, so the situation was dire
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What tv streaming platforms are you on?English1·2 months agoStolen Netflix on my TV, 123anime.info on my phone browser. Totally legit. With a good adblocker, of course.
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What can you not say no to?English2·2 months agoOh same. I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets but with Easter having the passed, someone’s always got bringing a bowl of clearance chocolates to work or D&D night. Heaven help me if someone brings in cupcakes.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a personal "Damned if you do damned if you don't"?2·3 months agoNever found the right balance. 🤷 I said “fuck it” anyway, because there’s a few reasons being less feminine is more comfortable for me. I like lifting weights but hate a sweaty scalp, so bye bye hair. I like the fit of men’s shirts more. And I realized that there’s a lot clothes and accessories that I find pretty to look at, but I don’t really get anything from wearing them.
It sucks because customers and family both make rude comments, but at least my clothes are comfy.
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What's your going to sleep routine?English1·3 months agoNone at the moment. Hammer away at job application til I realize it’s an hour after bedtime and I need to eat dinner.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a personal "Damned if you do damned if you don't"?7·3 months agoToo feminine: weak, controllable
Not feminine at all: ugly troll, clearly failed at being feminine and this is just cope
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Pets Sunday - how are they doing?English1·3 months agoMy cat has been a little antsy as I’ve been working so much but we still get our walkies in most days. I was SO happy yesterday because a neighbor kid asked to pet her, and Shirley let her. She’s skittish around strangers but I told the kid let Shirley sniff her hand first and she did. Kid was very gentle. I was impressed with both of them by the end of it.
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What temperature do you keep your bedroom at night? (Also feel free to share a quick way to mentally convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, I guess we'll need it)English2·3 months agoWhatever temperature the apartment ends up at 🥲 My cat won’t sleep with the windows closed (insane behavior), and I’m not running heat or air with them open.
My ideal is 68°F or around 20°C, but kitty gets whatever she wants.
Never saw them in person, but man, I wanted a pair as a kid. I wanted to roll around at the speed of sound.
I’m a lesbian, I’m not changing my label to pan because I’ve dated trans women. Most people who feel attraction feel it before even learning what genitals the other person was born with.
Sure, but a cis man could also be dating a trans woman in any of these scenarios, and no one would say “heterosexuality” was what was preventing him from becoming a dad.
When people joke about lesbianism = no pregnancy, it’s because they’re assuming all lesbian relationships are between the same kinds of bodies having the same kind of sex.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?3·3 months agoI think there is such a thing as lazy, but it’s when you push your responsibilities off onto another person solely because you can get away with it. The ex who leaves the dishes dirty and tells you, “I don’t know, they just come better when you wash them”, for instance.
Alice@beehaw.orgto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Cats or dogs?English3·3 months agoI’m an auncle to two beautiful children. I like dogs the same way I like my niece and nephew: I want to spoil them and play with them and give them back to their families at the end of the day!
I’m definitely more of a cat person, although even my current cat is a little demanding for me. She meows and meows anytime she’s not out on a leash.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are the furniture and plants in this picture AI or real?1·3 months agoI’m assuming CGI or something. They don’t immediately read as AI to me. I don’t see any torn/fuzzy edges, and while the shape of the bookshelf is obviously whimsical, it’s not the sort of nonsense perspective I associate with AI.
I could be wrong of course, I just don’t see the usual tells.
Neither of us are very techy and I told him I’d look into this for him because he’s juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.
