My son is 17, and recently told me he was looking for part time work. I’m fine with it, as long as his grades stay up. The selfish part of me wants him to not work yet. I’m hanging on to these moments of us spending time together. I know that he will not stay home forever, and I worry so so much. Like, if I’m not there, I cannot catch him. But again, he needs to experience these things, and be able to pick himself back up. At the end of the day, I support his desire to start venturing out into the world.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English
5·13 days agoIf god were real, and created the universe, I’d think that its existence would be described as something that just is. There is no start or end, no body to observe, nothing to communicate with. In the way that this supreme power would exist, there is no way for us to quantify it.
Maybe it’s excited oxygen molecules?
Just imagine how chill the world would be if we were all a bunch of goobers?

9·20 days agoSo because you are not American, the crappy things he said do not make him a crappy person? How does that make sense?

13·20 days agoJust checked his Wikipedia page. I am having a hard time understanding how you are justifying what he has said. He’s a piece of shit who made a funny comic.

1·21 days agoI bought an external DVD burner and a small pack of DVDs in 2023. Pretty sure I was burning gparted or some other recovery type LiveCD. It was some sort of Hail Mary on a retro project, or something.
But yeah, optical media bad.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which gift from a past Christmas do you still use regularly and enjoy?English
5·21 days agoMy mom got me this folding LED desk lamp that I use for electronic repair work. She got it when TEMU first came out, so It’s got that quality you’d expect from such platforms. I don’t use it often, but when I need a lot of light in the living room, it comes in clutch!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?English
1·3 months agoMy purse has all sorts of things in it. The most useful are the pen light, stubby multi-bit driver, utility knife, and multi-bit electronics driver. That with chargers, and usb cables (A, C, and micro).
Of course that is in addition to what one would typically find in a ladies’ purse. I also have my nicotine products in there.
Every few weeks I sort through what is in there. It’s too bad that it is not really socially acceptable for cishet guys to have a European carry-all.



I’m typically active for 6 hours of an 8 hour shift. I’m pretty sure that sleeping, even if on a break, is terminable where I work.
