Perfection

Planning is well and good but your present self should be driving towards your future, not the other way around which is how this kind of feels. In some ways it strike me that you seemed to see yourself as the future state person that you wanted to be rather than who you are. It may be worth taking a step back to try and rediscover who you really are “right now” as a person, not what you think or thought you wanted to be, if the plan has been in place that long you may find that at heart you just aren’t in the same headspace as the you from all those years ago. With that done, reassess what the current you wants and set out to “make” those things happen, don’t trust for the new plan to just natural play out, each thing should at least be treated like its going to take effort. If getting a family together is a thing and really important, don’t just hang out at bars waiting for a connection to happen. Get on apps and sites and date like it’s your 2nd job. Building on that as an example, if you’re a halfway decent person you will find somebody, but it might still be person 112 and you have to put in the work to get through the first 111 to get to them.

“Book It” had nothing to do with Grades, just raw effort. In my area at least, but I thought it was pretty universal in its execution.

Posted through a Proton connection, what’s your VPN? As others have stated this is likely not .world directly, but rather a symptom of Cloudflare (DDoS) protections.

What value it may have had as an identifier was destroyed by Musk IMO.

Yeah, the new emphasis on “pollinator gardens/spaces” has maybe made it better, but when the conversation was “save the bees they are important pollinators” the public 100% saw it as a bee specific issue.

May have mixed feelings about the “timeless” bit, depending deeply on how it’s meant. Do I think you’ll find a buyer at any given time in the foreseeable future? Probably, yes. But I would have very mixed feelings about having that in my house. (Space consumption, cool on its own to some degree but clashing with basically everything else and cherubs are not my jam, maybe a status symbol since it isn’t the norm.)

Still irrelevant to a coop conversation thread, but I’ve seen people Solo 9-Helldive. They are beasts, but the people going for the highest difficulty usually are. Not everyone is cut out for any given games max level, that’s part of how difficulty levels work, you find the place that challenges you in an achievable way. “I” for instance am not cut out for Legendary difficulty in any Halo campaign. And 9-Helldive with a full team is going to be dicy for me and I’m probably going to be getting carried a bit.

You can play solo, just set to “Private”, don’t invite anyone and dive, dive, dive!

Also this is a reply to someone who specifically mentioned coop so kind of irrelevant.

Helldivers!

You’ve inspired me.

Of who’s money? 😜

The meme is real, but that doesn’t mean that Mozilla is suddenly bankrupt. I can’t speak to Mozilla specifically, but there are non-profits like Wikipedia that set up stores of money equal to at least a full year of operating expenses, so that they can work to pivot in the face of exactly this kind of eventuality.

Or, according to Dune author Frank Herbert, from watching a man climb a mountain. (See Heretics of Dune)

First and foremost, I think this just fundamentally wouldn’t work out because it requires enough people being on a given thread at the same time, which would be on the rare side for most threads, then on top of that they also need to be in a position to talk freely, ie - Not on the toilet, not in their open floorplan cube at work. The two place most commenting happens.

More subjectively, IMO, the times this would work out and be civil and a good conversation, would be far outweighed by the ones where it went south.

{“code”:“object-request-error”,“msg”:“Invalid status 429 Too Many Requests for Some("01/90/dc/68/af/53/7f/c8/90/b5/cd488bef606f.jpeg") - {\n "message":"Too many requests"\n}”

Seems we’ve overloaded this Lemmy server.

Windows didn’t do anything, this was an update applied by the Crowdstrike agent.

Background is probably black because it’s still pointed at the old, non-onedrive, path that no longer leads anywhere.

Hope things start to turn around for you.
