This is a real threat :(
  • My husband isn't on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy's. And that sometimes it's the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I'm weird for it compared to other people. :)

  • Otherworldly
  • I love barred owls, we have them in our neighborhood and can hear them at night. We've also had the experience of finding one closer than expected, and it is magical.

  • This is a real threat :(
  • I'm the wife and I'm like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

    We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

    Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don't step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

    The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

    I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.

  • Lemmy is like a public library of the internet: it's one of the few places where you can exist without the expectation of paying either through watching ads or through direct payments
  • Love this! Did you start out on the Fediverse or did you start on another and then move to your own?

    I ask because I've been considering hosting my own for the family. I already have a server.

    The thing holding me back is I've gotten my Mastodon and Lemmy accounts really nice with content and it's daunting to think of moving/remaking accounts.

  • In my city/county, you get a free card if you can prove you live here (show something with your address) Our system will also do fundraisers to supplement the budget from taxes. We almost lost some libraries a gew years ago, but voters remade the local government and they are safer now.

  • Ok. Now they've done it.
  • She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There's a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)

  • This spider earring
  • I was thinking that! When I was a kid I had a mole on my neck that looked similar in size and color to a tick. At least once a year someone would try to "catch it"

    Luckily more often it was serious looks and warning there was a tick on me.

    In fairness, I was in the woods a lot and had to check for ticks on the regular.

    But yeah, my grandma for sure would have whacked me upside the head if she saw that spider earring.

  • True, and having large amounts of heirs with no skills or education needs a term like "inheritance imbreeding" since they will end up diluting the wealth-gene pool until they are left with nothing and hopefully go extinct after all the wealth has been absorbed into the general population. Or more likely, absorbed by a grifter.
