The perfect chaser for this shot, thank you
Ikr! But he volunteered! It was as shocking as it was magical. 🤩
This is so kind, thank you very much!! ❤️ I would love to, but first I need to spend some time looking through all the resources suggested here so I can make wise use of whatever time you can spare for me.
re: OCD, some podcaster or YouTuber I was listening to who is diagnosed mentioned that theirs primarily presents as social obsession, and described many things I strongly related to (including having "hangxiety" for days after every social function, not just drunken ones), so I did some searching and read some firsthand stuff on Reddit, and yeah.
I wonder if this is another situation where I am doing something and I think everybody else does this too and just handles it better. Like, I know over-analyzing and extended processing are both autistic traits, but I am beginning to wonder if maybe mine is cranked up to 11 and everyone else is cruising around 5-7.
The hangxiety thing was just one part of it, there were other obsessive thought patterns I related to, physical symptoms I share, and some checking behaviors that I'm also doing. It was a lot to unpack, but I don't have time for that right now, so I stuffed that box in the corner. 😂
Thank you for all of these details and suggestions! This was very helpful.
It's not dementia, it's COVID-induced brain fog! 🤦
I felt kinda bad for him for a sec when he reacted to them screaming "LIE!"
then I remembered he's not just some confused old man with dementia, he's war criminal Joe Biden
I'm not looking for legal advice from strangers, I'm looking for a better understanding of the jargon so I am more able to do research on my own. But thank you for your concern 😊
There's a perfect spot for a greenhouse against the south-facing side of my house, very close to the gutter drain. 🤩 I can combine my rain barrel wishes with my greenhouse wishes with my BSF wishes and my worm wishes.
I wish I could spend a day with you walking through my daily life and have you tell me all this stuff I wish I knew about all of it. You are amazing, and I am so grateful every time I get to soak up some of your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Please feel free to infodump about greenhouses and rain barrels too! 😂
My husband and I have an LLC for our work doing small engine repair. Occasionally our son helps a little, but otherwise it's just us.
My husband has a close friend and former co-worker who is losing their job, and we are very busy and could use help, but we are deeply morally opposed to profiting from someone else's labor. I was thinking that perhaps we could subcontract stuff to her for a little bit, and if things are working out, then we figure out how to restructure the business.*
There is a restaurant in a nearby town that is worker-owned, but I haven't asked there for advice partly because their structure is byzantine, and idk if that comparison is apples-to-oranges because of the wildly different industries.
*
I understand that sharing ownership means sharing control. I would have qualms about that with pretty much every person I know because most people aren't as obsessed with details and informed decision-making etc as I am; I am not concerned about that with this friend, because she has the same flavor of AuDHD as I do. I was undiagnosed when we met her, and our striking similarities in personalities and behaviors were a huge part of the reasons for seeking diagnosis.
Also, it's a rural area, everybody knows everybody, and she is someone with deep roots who is pretty universally loved and respected. There are few people I would trust to try to step into my life and fill in for me if I were seriously injured, but I know she would give everything as much or more care than I do. She is the best.
could have written this post myself, every word of this is true for me, too
I occasionally try to hang out with my cool neighbors, but it doesn't work out often, and I still end up with post-hang anxiety
been kinda wondering if maybe there's an OCD component to my thought processes that's getting in the way here, but idk where to even begin to try to deal with that and just don't have the fucks for it currently
anyway - ✨ solitude solidarity ✨ - you've got us, we've got you ❤️
I need all of you to account for everything you did as the site was down.
I got groceries and went to the dispensary...
THE GUN DISPENSARY!
(jk, it was the weed kind)
Yes!! In fact, I have been toying with letting this become my next special interest. I looked at some of the pre-made bins you can get online and have been lightly pondering how I might make one and where I would dig a hole for it. I would need to order eggs too, because our winters are a little too cold for them.
🤩 I have to go find that infodump!!
we have to kill Hexbear

good morning 🌞 thank you for being a bright spot in my day ❤️
This post from @InevitableSwing@hexbear.net led to me poking around /r/H5N1_AvianFlu, and I found this other post discussing a way to view H5N1 wastewater data:
> >I seem to have found a secret link to the H5N1 data in wastewater on the Verily website. > > >https://deploy-preview-14--wastewater-scan-tracker.netlify.app > >To access the H5N1 data > >1. Click on the chart icon in the upper left, underneath the pin icon >2. Ignore the text box, click anywhere else. >3. Select respiratory, influenza, and subtype "H5" >4. Select all locations, I used the heatmap and found Michigan and Texas to have positives. > >
(These instructions are for the desktop browser - someone in the comments mentioned how to do it from the phone.)
Here's the long, ugly link to the chart I generated following those instructions.
It lets you generate an image, but it also kept crashing my phone as it was loading, so idk if I'm pretty sure not every available site is included. (The site does that thing of gradually adding more fields to the chart as it loads, instead of taking forever to load a complete chart.)
Obviously it's not just human waste in the sewage system, but it does seem worrying, especially in light of a couple of megathread comments from @BigBoyKarlLiebknecht@hexbear.net I found while trying to figure out which community was best for posting this.
Sorry for the bummer question!
saw something that mentioned this being an AMAB-thing, but it definitely happened to me as well, and it just made me wonder how unusual it was to be punished (physically or otherwise) for crying as a girl
you can just yes/no, you don't need to get into it unless you want to
(feel free to unload, probably I'm not the only person who will relate)
could I please borrow some pants
this is something I've been trying to understand for a while
What does it mean to "do your best"?
Are you legitimately always trying to do your best, or are you often titrating your effort based on your internal reserves?
What does "your best" mean to you?
oh you're freaking out about your life already?? how about a side of Pregnancy Scare??
I was 99% sure I wasn't pregnant before I got piss all over my hand trying to check, but it's a really fun little scientific activity to pee in a cup and on myself and then use a little dropper to sprinkle some on a test, so I didn't mind
haha jk I absolutely hated it

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. filed a report stating a third party allegedly gained access to information. According to a report the company filed with the U.S.…
We only know about this because they were required to report it to the SEC as a publicly traded company. I've had zero communication from them as a customer, and their website and app just says:
>We’re experiencing technical issues with our internal support systems. > >Our customers’ internet service is up and running and not affected by this issue. In the meantime, please call for assistance.
You mostly can't get through when you call, and when you do finally get a person, they can't access your account or any of their internal systems to do anything for you. This is a CYA statement that they absolutely cannot back up.
From the article linked:
>Frontier Communications detected the third party Sunday, April 14. The company’s report states the third party “gained unauthorized access” to some of its information technology environment. > >Frontier says in the filing that once they detected the threat, they put their cyber incident response protocols into place in an effort to contain the incident. They say part of this process includes shutting down some of the company’s systems. The filing says that the shutdown resulted in an “operational disruption.” > >The company says it launched an investigation into the incident and determined the third party was allegedly a cybercrime group. Frontier’s filing also states that the third party “gained access to, among other information, personally identifiable information. > >According to the filing, Frontier says it believes that by Monday, they had contained the incident. They also say they then restored their core information technology environment. As of the filing Monday, Frontier said they were “in the process” of restoring their normal business operations. > >... > >Frontier said in the filing they did not believe the incident will materially impact their financial condition or the results of their operations.
Lmao
I'm not the only customer who lost service around the time of the attack — This reddit thread is full of people in the same situation, all over the country. It hasn't come back, and as I mentioned at the top, they can't do anything for us.
There are a lot of people like me who have no good alternatives (there are literally no other DSL or fiber providers for my address, there are too many trees between me and the WISP towers, satellite latency is a problem, and the cell signal here sucks), but there are a lot of people in that thread talking about switching.

I'm sorry if this is an incredibly stupid question.
I usually use an app for Lemmy-ing, but I've poked around on the browser interface as well, and I just can't figure out how to look at my sent DMs. How do?
Some highlights:
>The earthworks, an archipelago of eight sites sprinkled through central and southwestern Ohio, were built 1,600 and 2,000 years ago by the Hopewell tradition, a sophisticated network of Native American cultures that extended from southern Canada to Florida. > >The earthworks are the largest set of geometric earthen enclosures in the world, many extending for hundreds of feet in the shape of circles, squares, or animals. Some are built in alignment with the movements of the sun and moon.
...
>The eight sites include the Great Circle and Octagon Earthworks in Licking County, the Fort Ancient Earthworks in Warren County, and the Mound City Group, Hopewell Mound Group, Hopeton Earthworks, Seip Earthworks, and High Bank Works in Ross County.
...
>As white settlers moved into Ohio after the Revolutionary War, many destroyed parts of the earthworks. Some plowed mounds under to plant crops; other earthworks were destroyed by railroads or canals built through them. > >But others were saved by landowners, including the eight World Heritage sites.
...
>The World Heritage designation didn’t come without some controversy. The Octagon Earthworks near Newark is on a country club golf course, and in 2018 the Ohio History Connection, as the state’s historical society, used its eminent-domain powers to break its lease with the country club. > >The country club sued, claiming the Ohio History Connection low-balled its offer to break the lease. In 2022, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the History Connection could break the lease, but there’s still ongoing legal action about how much money the country club should be compensated.
...
>The Great Circle Earthworks today are surrounded by a residential neighborhood, as well as a sprawl of businesses along nearby State Route 79. But inside the Great Circle, it’s easy to forget about those modern distractions, said Sarah Hinkelman, the site’s manager. > >“I think that’s exactly what it was intended to be,” Hinkelman said. “A sacred space, very separate from the everyday.”
❤️
I haven't been to any of the mounds in 20+ years, definitely past time for another visit!
Their crazy songs are one of my favorite things about living in a rural area. They sound like a roving dog rave! So much yipping and screaming, so much energy, it's thrilling every time I hear them.
What crazy shit are they getting up to out there?!? Why do they sometimes sound like they're just a roving party and other times like they're the actual Wild Hunt?!
I know they want to eat my chickens, guineas, and probably also my cats, but they're just having such a good time out there that I can't be mad about it.
I read it as fart/fart noise
Someone Very Close to Me apparently reads it as blowing a puff of air or a kiss (even though there's 🌬️ and 😘), or going really fast, or sending something, and doesn't think Fart at all
this leads to frequent text messages that are meant to be very sweet or indicate haste but at first glance read to me as full of farts
It's Amazing 😂
What does 💨 mean to you?
Do you have a different interpretation of another emoji someone you know uses often?
of course, the weight of hellworld always gets to me eventually (whether it takes a couple minutes or a couple hours)
and dealing other humans can be Challenging
and my aging Elder Millennial body seems to like to be difficult
BUT before all that oppresses my spirit, I am cheerful as fuck, singing to my pets, chattering to myself, giggling about nothing
