It’s a 12ft by 20ft garage on a tiny subdivision of a house’s plot of land. Not zoned for housing and not large enough to even fit a mobile home. Just cut off of someone’s backyard.

Ani DiFranco put it well. “God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.”

Tbf hatchbacks take up the same amount of space but have better cargo capacity. Best of both worlds. I love that I can toss my ebike and lots of camping gear in my tiny Bolt and take it camping. Not possible in a sedan.

Worked in retail for 8 years and still feel no joy in my life over a decade later. Does that count?

My daily habits are: Check Lemmy (repeatedly), do all of the daily NYT games, open two Pokémon TCG packs, and do a single lesson on DuoLingo.

I love the art style and facial expression. It feels like a very relatable moment - like when you hear something wild in public and can’t help but turn to look.

Fun fact time! Heinz originated in Pittsburgh and used to have a massive factory built in the 1910’s, and when it shut down they eventually renovated it into apartments. The buildings are now all named after what they once produced there - Bean Building, Meat Building, Cereal Building, Reservoir Building, and Shipping Building.

It’s rumored that the Meat Building has a vibrant gay community.

Question - is it unethical to be a landlord IF your only rental properties are garages in an area with plentiful and free street parking, and the land couldn’t be used for housing if the garages were torn down?

I want off Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride.

A recruiter cold called me. I’m usually pretty rude to cold callers, so I played hardball out of the gate and I managed to get a $30k raise vs my current position.

I believe that acupressure, meditation, reiki, etc. can actually help ease some chronic issues in the same way that a placebo drug does. The mind believes that it should feel less pain, anxiety, depression, etc so it does - to an extent. Afterall, if stress is harmful to our health then relaxation must be helpful.

This seems a bit sus for pitching a specific app.

I feel like I have ptsd from my math class. The opposite of B plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all over two A.

Join a Buy Nothing group. If someone asks for something that you have, and you haven’t used it in a while, give it away! You can always ask for another to keep or borrow if you have a need for it in the future.

You hit the nail on the head. Compliance and legal obligations for security and storage are a constantly moving target, so there’s always a lot to adjust alongside the day to day management.

Pork butt roast and sauerkraut. It’s a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe meant to bring good luck and fortune to the household on New Years. You simply season a pork butt with salt and pepper and put it in the slow cooker with a large container of saurkraut and cook on low til it shreds. Served with mashed potatoes, peas, and pork gravy. Guaranteed to give you a food coma.

For appetizers, I love beet-pickled eggs. It’s essential to pickle them for 24+ hours to ensure the pink fully penetrates the egg white.

I know this is a shitpost, but a dating community on Lemmy has potential.

I’m still holding out hope for full-dive VR in the next 20-30 years.

There’s an outdoor cabinet in my neighborhood that is used as a food bank. I fill it to the brim weekly with shelf-stable food. I was formerly homeless and know what it’s like to go hungry, and I work hard to ensure that no one in my neighborhood has to go to bed hungry.

Microsoft 365 Administrator, $130k USD. I only have an Associate’s degree but I have over a decade of experience in the field. Most of my day is spent coordinating with cybersecurity, compliance, and lawyers to ensure our data practices are sound. It’s a constantly-moving target.
