I've noticed many introverts get exhausted socially because they're maintaining a "persona" in public. They're less drained with partners/close friends because they can just be themselves.

Ah, yes. Nothing fires up a debate quite like making someone else's problems about you

Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here's a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren't just NPCs in our personal storyline. They've got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it's with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you're allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but here goes...

I have this friend who I used to invite to every social outing. Without fail, they'd turn me down, just like in that comic. After a while, I just stopped trying. I mean, you can't expect me to always chase after someone who clearly doesn't want to be included, right?

Now, here's the kicker. I sometimes get comments from them or mutual friends saying they're not getting the chance to join because I haven't considered inviting them. And honestly? It makes me bitter.

Look, if you don't want to participate, that's fine. But your constant rejection has consequences. Consequences you brought on yourself and shouldn't be my problem to fix. I'm not a mind reader, and I'm not going to keep extending invitations that always get shot down.

Maybe I'm the asshole here, but I feel like there's a limit to how many times you can reach out before you just have to accept that someone isn't interested in hanging out. And when they complain later? That's on them, not me.

In case someone also wondered who this is, here is a summary. Dude is hardcore

Darth Nihilus: A Sith Lord's Hunger for Power and Destruction

• Darth Nihilus, a Human male, rose as a Dark Lord of the Sith after the Jedi Civil War, driven by an insatiable hunger for Force energy.

• He was found by Darth Traya and trained to feed his hunger, eventually becoming one of three Sith Lords in a triumvirate.

• Nihilus' hunger consumed him, leading him to destroy entire planets and absorb their Force energy, including the devastation of Katarr.

• He formed a powerful bond with his Shadow Hand, Visas Marr, who could support and weaken him in battle.

• Nihilus' pursuit of a growing Force presence led him to clash with Meetra Surik, a former Jedi, and ultimately met his demise at the hands of Surik and her allies.

Somewhat boring, but I just love my merino wool t shirts. They don't have any logos or swag, but they are incredibly comfortable, don't smell and you just air them out every evening instead of constant washing. They are also expensive as he'll for those considering them

Never underestimate the urge non Americans have to make fun of America.

I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.

They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it's not the best to play.

This is just heartless 🙁

Because he is not a fan of the series doesn't mean that he will do a bad job or skip on source material study. I guess I will reserve my judgment until I see a couple of episodes.

Don't fruit trees need extra care and pruning, and the fruit that falls to the ground is also kind of a mess to clean up. Sturdy trees are good in the city, since they are low upkeep and very good for air quality and shade. I am however a huge fan of vertical gardens with edible plants. Imagine a whole wall with mint growing on it, that would be wicked!

 

Hi! Sorry if this is a common question.

Is there a tool, search engine or methods so search for a given topic or posts on Fediverse (lemmy, kbin, mastadon, etc)? I come across a lot of great discussions and posts. It would be great to find more about a specific things, or even debugger a problem. Kind of like appending reddit to your Google search to find a niche discussion or solution.
