Are you winning, Lemmy?
What’s going well with you this week?
48 hr blackout passed and no commitments from Reddit = I finally braved-up and deleted my post history, my comment history, and my account. Feeling liberated.
Nice! Welcome to the party
Smoked a J and resisted the munchies tonight. Might seem small but a big win for me as I am about 20 lbs overweight
A cheeky mid-week day off work and a fat lie-in for me. I’m 100% content at doing nothing of value today just enjoying the summer vibes.
I won a small victory in Sainsbury’s today. There were no checkouts open and a gaggle of shop assistants just standing around chatting. I dislike using the self service so I stood by a checkout and glared meaningfully at the assistants until one backed down and opened the checkout.
Relevant username?
I bought an air purifier to deal with the pollens - seeing as I had my first asthma-like symptoms ever the night before last - and I could not be more excited for it to arrive.
Also, jam on toast for breakfast.
What’s your thinking there? Are you getting hay-fever symptoms just from being inside? That’s brutal.
7 months of the year, baby!
Jam on toast or jam on toast tea?
Kids are off to school and I’m sitting in the sunny back garden listening to trains and having a fantastic homemade espresso. Perfect. All downhill from here.
I have completed an entire month of self care and being sensible. The biggest reward for this is that I haven’t thrown up in a month, but one of my goals had a specific reward - if I don’t have an alcoholic drink for 1 month I can reward myself with Sky Sports Cricket, for the Ashes. I only went and did it!
Nice one! Be proud of yourself and enjoy the cricket. Hope you can continue on this positive path.
Well done you. Take my updoot (do we call them updoots on here?).
Call them whatever the heck you like 🙂
Congratulations that’s amazing work!
Got a verbal offer of a new job last night. Hopefully today I’ll receive the contract, then I can hand my notice in!
Congratulations. What’s the new job?
Maybe a pilot?
CEO of Reddit
I’ve felt pretty good this week mental health wise, so I’m taking that as a win. Glad the sunshine is finally upon us, even if it does turn the country into a special kind of sweaty hell. It’s our sweaty hell.
I sympathise on the mental health front. I’ve had my own struggles for a long while, but today has been a good week relatively speaking like yours. I hope you keep up the good fight, and enjoy the sweaty hell :)
I’m very glad to hear you’re having a good week too, we gotta try and roll with the punches.
I’m almost done building my first web site! I had almost no technical know-how prior to this, but I’m also beginning with JavaScript at the same time. It’s not amazing but I’ve learned so much. It’s immensely rewarding. While that probably is kiddie pool stuff to others even my junior, I’m really proud.
That’s awesome! I got my start just from self-teaching how to make a basic website then going from there, it’s a fun hobby in its own right but also a super marketable skill if you decide to take it further. Would love to see what you make, if you ever fancy sharing it DM me :)
I deffo will! :) I’ve thought about what it would be like doing this professionally, but that would be a ways away. For now, I just like making things!
6 day weekend for me starting tomorrow with a three night stay at Center Parcs. Excited for it as my son is a little older this time we visit so he might enjoy more of it.
Hopefully being able to post and comment across instances!
Edit: that’s worked so now we’re cooking!
I’ve noticed some issues with that too, hopefully fixed now!
Edit: same here too!
Test comment, curious to see whether I can commwnt on lemmy world
Nope, nothing to see here.
Procrastinated finishing off an annoying work project and now it’s due today, but I’ve made good progress this morning so shall hopefully be back later to report in that I actually managed to get it done. Fingers crossed!
Update to this, yeah, nah 😎
Good update!
Logged on to casualuk just try and promote Lemmy and this community but it’s now read only.
Part of me thinks it’s a shame and the other part is happy they just haven’t returned to normal.
I popped over to the site that shall not be named for a look, and was dissappointed to see so much of it was back open, with users posting away. But well done CasualUK for sticking it out.
Good on them to have stuck to their principles. For what it’s worth I messaged the mods over there asking them nicely to give us a link here. You can only ask.
Ah cheers
I was thinking of doing the same thing. Probably by far the sub I will miss the most and was hoping to migrate to lemmy
Welp, as the UK economically struggles, I’ve never been so economically stable. Seems like opposite day. Getting ready to move to Wales.
That’s my secret cap, I’m always winning.
Nice one! Why the move to Wales if you don’t mind me asking?
Planning to buy a house next year, it’s much cheaper over there. I also believe it’ll provide the most long term value, While sticking around cardiff provides enough job security.
Awesome, hope things go well and the move isnae too painful!
Thank you 🙏
Cardiff is lovely, we lived in the Bay for 18 months and it was great. Best flat I’ve ever rented.
Very nice! Ive only heard good things about the bay area. What made you move?
Wanted to be closer to family and work on the other side of the water. At the time I was driving over the bridge three times a week.
