  • I grew up in the south.

    Sunday dress was a thing. Modern day, it may not have been as special because you didn’t wear the same two outfits all year. But it’s still different from funeral and wedding attire.

    Sunday meals were special too. Maybe we didn’t always go out for food after church, but guarantee there was BBQ involved. If not BBQ, then fried, and/or with a salad filled with carbs and mayo.

    Uh, speaking of Sunday, you could say being a Christian is a big cultural thing. My family rebelled a bit, we were Catholic.

    Don’t bother Daddy while he’s watching his sports. Don’t put more work on mommy (no dirty clothes, keep your shoes clean). Mowing the lawn takes all day because we live in the boonies (or you don’t have a lawn because you live in a triplex).

    All holidays are Christian. And you spend them with extended family.






  • I requested my medical records from my time in the military in 2014 and received them on CD. Which was funny because I didn’t have a computer that could read them at the time, and I still haven’t read them. Turns out the information i needed was already available to the people giving my c&p exam


  • Cats have better clocks than we give them credit for. If part of petting and loving is brushing, it might help to start brushing him at a given time every day before moving to meds and brushing. My kitty is 15 now, but the addition of meds to bed routine started maybe a year and a half ago.

    She is currently pawing and sighing at me because I hyper fixated and missed her usual bedtime xD



  • I was part of the crew for the first production of RHPS at my university last year. We are in an extremely conservative area, and knew many people wouldn’t know the callbacks. So we included a few in the programs we handed out, but we also had helpers (Frank’s “Only Fans”) that would wave/flip posterboards of callbacks as needed. By the end of each show the audience was shouting so loud our actors couldn’t hear their cues xD

    Have you gone to see it again since your first show?


  • Jerboa is developed by the main Lemmy devs, if I remember correctly. Nutonic (one of the two main devs) confirmed in that thread I linked above that they don’t have the option to block comments from users of blocked instances yet, because they are still working on it.

    Also, I’m surprised you can’t post in markdown, because I use markdown often when commenting in the daily game community.




  • My ancient kitty expects treats at bedtime, so I have tried to teach her she gets a pill then treats at bedtime. She doesn’t run away because she knows treats are coming, but she’ll try to spit the pill out if I don’t manage to drop it right where her tongue meets her throat.

    She can get this one in liquid form to mix into liquid treats, but then the rest of my zoo gets jealous and I can’t have that xD



  • I may have misremembered this, because I’m struggling to find concrete information now. I had read at one point that an application will be rejected if the cost for care exceeds a certain amount. It’s possible it was country specific and not EU in general. My health care is covered in the US because I’m a disabled veteran, but one of my medications is over $7k per week if I were to pay out of pocket.

    Other countries, like Australia and NZ, have restrictions on applicants with mental disorders, like PTSD

    Edit to add: hexbear specifically only recently came back to life. They were out of commission for a couple months because the person who held the certificate or however you call it for hosting the server disappeared. There was some drama about the instance name going up for auction afterwards. They are back to Lemmy as of a month or so ago
