As a child I grew up on a 12 hour clock.

18-20 I had to learn 24 hour clock and use it all the time (heh).

Now as an adult I try to stay 24h but I still mentally swap 24h to 12h in my head.

So I look at the clock see 13:00 and think ok it's 1:00pm.

So far, so good.... When on a treadmill/bike watching the timer go up, I sometimes have mild confusion.

I'm doing 15:00 on this machine, ok the timer says 13:00... I have 4 minutes left. I realize my quick math and time recognition frameworks are colliding. The 13:00 gets quick swapped to a 1, and I then I do 5-1.. I've noticed this on multiple days, even though I know it's wrong.

Not sure of the right term for this, anyone else have this kind of coding confusion?

I got this wonderful little monster from a shelter 6 years ago.

She was a crazy, unruly spazz as a puppy. She pooped inside one of my shoes once. Destroyed a recliner (it was barely recognizable as a chair when she finished).

But I can honestly say that she’s the best damned dog I’ve ever had. When I tell her “I love you,” she barks three times, every time.

Anyway, that’s it. That’s the post.

hi,

I have been suffering from anxiety and was thinking about past bad things that happened to me and by me. I can't forgive myself for what I did and neither I can forgive who did bad things to me. also I keep thinking about stuff that is out of my control and power.

so I came up with a solution whenever that happens I also think myself as powerless and can't do anything. it makes me accepts things as they are. plus it makes me expect help from others.

So I started posting weekly threads to keep the community active and channel casual discussions that could be interesting.

So far we have

• What made you happy last week Monday
• Hobbies Wednesday
• How is your week going Thursday
• What are your plans for the week-end Friday
• What did you watch Saturday
• Pets Sunday

Other ideas that we could have?

Sometimes if I type “LOL”, but I didn’t laugh out loud, I’ll do a quiet little chuckle so I’m not technically a liar.

I can’t blow bubbles in bubblegum beyond a sad little pea sized thing.

I can’t snap my fingers either.

I think The Last Jedi is the fourth best Star Wars film, behind only the original trilogy.

Something I've found disappointing in the "AI conversation" around me ...

... there hasn't been enough honest introspection about how this whole thing feels and likely will feel.

Like, there's something disturbing in AI's first "success" being "art" and "music".

There's something disturbing about how we were never going to be able to help ourselves & are compelled to make things like LLMs, but can still be frightened by its implications.

anger v hype leaves all that out

If you've got a long elevator ride part of your daily life, what do you do with your time in the elevator?

I've got a 90s elevator ride at my office, and I go up and down all the time, no signal no Wi-Fi..

I don't care for bacon, it doesn't have much flavor and is often just used for salt, or fat. I leave it out of almost all recipes that call for it and haven't missed it yet.

Edit : Just to clear up some shit I do have IRL friends its just that moving around coupled with the fact that I don't have Instagram or Snapchat has made me lose a lot of contacts and the ones that are left aren't always available which is quite understandable as we all have our own shit to deal with and sometimes when their free I'm not etc .

There are no respectable chatroom anywhere on the internet that I can find (I have not checked discord which is said to have some but I'm not going to check it and I'm not hopeful as it is the only place I haven't checked yet.).

My interests are just movies and TV, music etc but we can talk about anything . Don't DM if your a creep or some shit .I didn't know where else to post this and hope it is OK I'm just tired of the forum format and wanna have a more connected conversation . That's about it .

Like its not even easy to make friends on Lemmy we just have fun in a thread and move on like each experience or fun we had is in a capsule and can't get out of it . Its true for real life too I guess we meet people become friends and then move on because life gets and then you look back and see they were always temporary and was there because you and they were there at the same place at the same time and was never meant to be . like how 99% of people replying and I will not be in touch when this post becomes 2 days old .

Idk why I wrote the last sentence out maybe because I moved to another state and had some friends in the flat I lived and now that I have moved back (we all split to our own state after the study I was the last one to reach there I only stayed there for two months while there were there for 9 months or so) we have minimal to no contacts .

The titles says all

For context I just finished my bachelor's and I'm confused as fuck also I really don't wanna be in the third world now

I'm talking about anything within a day trip of your location. That you've never been to.

Why have you never gone? What's keeping you from going now?

We went to china town to eat some chinese breakfast. It was very doughy and savoury. The Koreans -where we live now - don't have any specific breakfast dishes, they just eat the same dishes as for lunch and dinner.

Our (my partner and i) lease is up in a month and we are planning on moving to a town 30 minutes north of us. we're in a small college town surrounded by cornfields currently, and would be moving to a more suburban area. my main reasons for moving are that I've been in this town for about 5 years and honestly its got some of the blandest selection of shops, restaurants, activities, etc. its not totally devoid of cool people and small businesses, but a majority of its commerce is through chains. in the new town, there would be local grocers to shop at, a wider variety of cultural foods, and more... extracurriculars (i like to take dance, art, etc. classes). however, the apartment we have a deposit down for is kinda shit. we cant really afford anything better at this size, though. we'll also lose out on being in a walkable area. also, my partner would have to commute to school ~3x a week for classes and i feel kinda bad abt dragging him away from being able to walk to campus, but something in me feels ready for a change. though as the title says, im facing indecision. thoughts?

From my friend: men are lonely and no one is doing anything about it, so I want to do something about it.
