Does anyone have a spare herd of goats (asking for a friend)

Im gonna be real i thought this was a saggy old butt in very bad shape at first glance

I want to believe :(

You dont shit in your hand and fling it around? Aw man ive been doing it wrong this whole time

Pay minimum wage, get minimum effort ¯\(ツ)/¯

It’s just kinda funny we make men piss in troughs cock out side by side while women have always been given the dignity of a door. We really did just go “idk you guys are animals figure it out piss in this hole next to that other pissing guy”

Which is why I always stan a properly built gender neutral bathroom with floor to ceiling doors for everyone. Bliss. Pee in privacy, my toilet is my kingdom.

Oops, I definitely am and did not realize I was using the wrong word :')

The entire vibe of lemmy seems to be way jollier from my experience but Im wondering if it just is because I havent come across some kinda dark underbelly yet or if it really is just way more chill here

Im guessing pics here is probably a lot better with the big decrease in bot traffic, i was so used to automatically unsubbing from that one I forgot it was an option here :')

Yeah sorry I realized it might have been a bit vague, I dont mind lurking in areas where it isnt even my specific hobby or interest because it can be kinda neat to peek into what other people are interested in, I’ve been recommended some great gardening/science/climate ones but Im wondering if there’s going to be anything like hobbydrama or cursedcrochet or wunkus. Im gonna miss wunkus :(

Thank you!

This is perfect thank you!!

Like you masturbating is the problem or you masturbate problems?

Tbh i made this account through the browsing app i use and am still pretty baby, im only kind of sure what defederated instance even means but I didnt wanna ask stupid questions :')

True wealth is fairly quiet, just look how understated a Birkin bag is. No big logo, no patterned proprietary fabric. To me the posturing of luxury brand names in everyday aesthetic is very much a pissing contest/visual flex by people who dont understand that the really luxury shit is from places that make you wait to be invited before you can even buy it

Not saying I love any of that mess, I detest the concept of “upper class” vs “lower class” like that and I think 20,000 for a handbag is stupid when that’s someones college tuition but that is my observation.

Things ARE bad right now. We have a horrible wealth gap, we are deep into late stage capitalism, enshittification is rampant and climate change looms on our horizon

That said: do yourself a favour and learn more about terrible times in human history and the things people did to survive.

People have lived through horrible awful times and still found a way to continue on, find joy, survive, have small victories. I stopped spiraling out about how depressing the future looked when I learned more about the past… it shows you we are resilient. We are adaptible. We find a way. We WILL find a way. Just dont allow yourself to give into the despair–find the things you need to ground yourself, find your small victories, genuinely smell the roses and enjoy what you can. Look into taoism and concepts like finding inner peace among chaos. It helps a lot, trust.

Stay angry and stay vocal about our circumstances but dont let it steal the time you have on this earth, there is a lot here still to spark happiness and contentment.

You will go through natural hormonal cycles in your life that will kick up with things like diet and hygiene but unfortunately hormones will rule all.

That said, cutting down on sugar and milk helped for me (PCOS so hormonal-driven acne)

Otherwise just keep your face clean, moisturize, try ro get some sun (within reason, dont give yourself melanoma). Exfoliate every once in a while for dead skin, change your sheets/pillowcases/towels often and keep them clean.

I have a lot of success using cerave products in Canada for dry skin, but skincare is massive now and the world is your oyster. The Ordinary has something for basically everything now.

Also keep in mind depending on facial hair you could be seeing ingrowns from bad shaving technique (against the grain, not enough glide, etc)

As a definition? Someone covered it already: aware of social injustices at bare minimum. As a flag? Basically a stand-in for a word that would get someone else banned on a platform. Woke to a rightoid means a woman, ethnic, or of a culture that isnt white/christian/cishet nuclear family profile. I have heard “woke” used to describe Latin Jazz before. It literally just meant ethnic to him.

Thanks, and im sorry for yours too. It’s hard, I try to frame it as opening up the opportunity to give another dog a loving home and I look forward to having many dogs in my life who all live hopefully the best and longest possible lives it’s just tough knowing you sign up for like a 15 year cycle of incredibly intense attachment and emotional friendship capped by utter devastation :')

Like I think I get why theres that “dad who doesnt want pets” trope… its not that they dont like them, they just know theyll love them so much

I just wanna throw my own anecdote in here too; I was also really uncomfortable and uncertain making the decision but my dog got to the point where he was 17, blind, partially deaf, had nose polyps, and wasnt keeping food down or able to control his bladder for the last few days. I knew he was suffering and I didnt want his last days to be spent laying limp on a blanket in the living room hungry and in pain and he had started getting cognitive decline too and was starting to act scared because of it combined with his blindness.

The vet came over, i ordered mcdonalds chicken nuggets specifically just for my dog even if he wasnt able to eat them all, he got wrapped up in his favourite fuzzy blanket and the vet gave him a hero dose of the best doggy morphine im assuming money can buy

OP I knew I made the right choice when I saw aaaaall the pain leave his body when the painkillers hit. I was so used to him looking like the cryptkeeper I had forgotten what it looked like to see my dog without any pain in his joints or anxiety from his blindness. He transformed back into the happy little dog I knew right in front of my eyes and then he gently died being held by the people he loves with a belly full of nugs instead of wasting away for god knows how much longer.

It can feel wrong to make that decision for someone else but when I saw how much pain he had truly been carrying this whole time for the last parts of his life I realized it really was mercy and if I were in the same situation I would want that for me.

Unfortunately sometimes waiting CAN take too long. My dog was suffering and I wish I had seen it sooner but I waited and waited because he still had “good” days even if those good days were fewer and farther between. It hurts to think that he may have suffered when he didnt have to which is a harder thing to live with imho than choosing to guide him out gently.
