Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just... Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

You got to spend some time with your brother. He'll remember that.

I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.

There are mutual aid communities on lemmy where you might be able to find someone willing to send you some cash through an app. Good luck.

My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We've spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven't seen in months. It's been a good time and we'll be here for the rest of the week.

That sounds both cool and terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Depends, I guess.

Are they riding fast Moto Guzzis? Really terrifying but also a lot of fun I imagine. Big, slow-ish Harleys? Not that terrifying, also pretty fun and damn cool IMO.

I assume you're quite young, which is great! I'd suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It's way more fun that way.

At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

In my experience it's easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you're too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would've enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you'll wind up having more fun in life!

I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.

I went to Vienna to see Kraftwerk and it was really great. Vienna itself is a bit shitty though IMO

Hello,

I see you are a new account, feel free to join [email protected] , we have a lot of those threads

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not a new account. It's a serial ban evader who is on like his 6th account because he keeps getting banned from asklemmy for acting like an incel

This makes so much sense. This person sounds insufferable on so many levels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Every time he posts, he responds to every reply being dismissive and shitty. He literally can't say the words "woman" or "relationship" without adding on "which I will never get to experience". Whenever anyone tries to give him actionable advice like therapy or ways to improve his mindset, he shuts them down.

My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it's still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I'm glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.

Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I've relaxed my "catch and release, no kill" rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don't see any right now. Guessing I've killed like 40 so far. Apparently it'll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don't catch some of the few bugs in here.

The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.

And Labour won a landslide in the UK! Good stuff!

I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I'm working 12 hours which is annoying but that's life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It sounds like you're not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I've misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.

Mine was actually pretty good. I volunteered at a stables on Friday evening. Watered and groomed some horses for a couple hours. Got a haircut on Saturday and my dog got groomed. Spent Sunday playing video games.
