Not 100% sure those earmuffs are going to work for her.

Best wedding I went to was very casual. It was in a barn, no dress requirements (even the groom was wearing a plaid button up and jeans, and they brought in a bunch of food trucks for lunch.

It was pretty quick compared to most weddings too.

Well its only been a few days, but I've been trying to dive into this and I've hit roadblock after roadblock. I think setting this up as well as the tools is well beyond my skill level.

Depending on what the law actually ends up being and how it actually effects me, the shorter road would be to move away from doing multiplayer games.

Though my games are considerably smaller than anything else mentioned in these threads, so I don't think anyone will really mind haha.

Kinda dumb but there's a proverb that's something like when you're trying to fix things, focus on getting yourself to a good state first. When that's done, then help your family. After that, your community.

Its easy to get overwhelmed with everything going on as it is, but sometimes a few basic steps of just doing what you can at the smaller levels makes a big difference.

No, but not because of this though. We just slowly drifted apart over time. Then I stepped away from social media and that was the last time I seen or heard anything from her.

Nah it was his concealed carry glock. Officially he wasn't supposed to have it with him at the office but unofficially no one really cared unless clients were around.

We were having a meeting and our boss was bringing up on-call schedules, and how the new policy was going to be much stricter, as well as a three missed calls and you're fired deal.

In the middle of his talk, my coworker loudly announces 'excuse me' as he reaches down to his bag, pulls out a glock, lowers the slide to make sure its loaded, then places it back in his bag. Then with a lot of enthusiasm, waves his hand saying 'Please, continue.'

Our boss said something like "I'm sensing some push back on this so we're going to rethink it before we go further." The changes never materialized.

In fairness we had all a bit to drink so this was pretty hilarious at the time, but in retrospect it was a pretty fucked up joke.

Not quite 4 months, but I've seen this happen and it was weird.

This was awhile ago, back when working from home was pretty unusual.

The guy took a bunch of equipment home but stopped working on anything. Management really wanted the hardware back so were waiting to ambush him at the office to fire him and take the hardware.

So when he just didn't come in, management shrugged and said they couldn't do anything about it until he showed up.

It was months before someone called him and just asked for the equipment back, to which he did without hesitation - But he did get immediately fired afterwards.

I was returning an item to a friend, and her roommate let me in before we went into her room and realized she wasn't there.

I was being snarky and shared a story with the roommate about my friend that wasn't awful but one I probably shouldn't have shared.

As I was coming up to the punchline of the story, I walked across her room to put the item on her side table, only to realize she was there the whole time. The blankets and pillows were shoved aside and blocked her from view if you were standing by the door.

The reason she had done that - and remained quiet for the whole story - was she was naked and getting munched on by her girlfriend, and they were both waiting for us to leave so they could continue.

There was like 4 seconds of locked eyes between all of us before I pulled a Skyrim NPC moment out of embarrassment. ("Well I guess she isn't here, I'll just leave the item I borrowed on her side table...")

The whole situation, and especially my Skyrim moment, makes me cringe to this day.

What makes Misskey better than Mastodon? I haven't used it yet.

This is kinda long and kinda vague: I had a meeting recently with some devs/artists to discuss an upcoming project.

In short, the meeting went poorly. I stood alone against everyone else on the design/direction things were going to be headed.

I was tired and frustrated and walked away basically saying I'm not going to support any of it.

After mulling it over for a day, I felt I was too harsh and unreasonable. I reached back out and apologized and asked to give this one more try.

Well they didn't accept. I guess that bridge is too scorched to go back on. It wasn't until that point that I realized I really messed this one up.

It seems strange but that feels weirdly clever?

For some reason I keep finding many posts missing while browsing through the app as opposed to the web browser.

I don't have any user or instance blocked, am I missing something here?
