Lots of new trolls but they are quickly banned.

People are insulting sometimes but it's more about them than us. That's how they think they should behave I guess. Rebelling as a keyboard warrior and all. :)

I had a great weak. Started leasing a new car on Monday and have been enjoying it a lot. Work is going good. Soon warmer weather too. Things are looking nice.

I should clean up a bit. Probably going to drink a liter or two of whiskey with Diet Coke or seltzer. I have parts for a whole new pc to put together but haven’t gotten around to it for a couple of months… the system I have is adequate for what I do and I haven’t felt like rocking the boat. Probably I’ll go for a walk or two with my dad if the weather is decent. Also thinking about making enchiladas, maybe pasta sauce and lasagna. Definitely need to roast some brussel sprouts and asparagus.

I might go out with some work friends, hook up with a guy I have been wanting to meet for a while, and go to the gym. And talk in silly voices with my cats.

Last week I was on vacation (went to Disney World) so this weekend I'm gonna take it easy. Do some chores, order a pizza, play video games. Nothing particularly exciting, but I'm okay with that.

It's not off to a great start. Yesterday was a funeral and today was a birthday party cancelled by Covid. I might just chill at home and wait for a break in the rain long enough to mow my lawn.

On Saturday, I'll be attending a retirement dinner for my mom. It'll be the first time she'll get to try authentic Indian food. Then on Sunday I'd like to get my metal detector out with my new coil that I got for Christmas. Hopefully the ground won't be too frozen.

I'm on call at work so I can't drink or smoke, my boyfriend is out of town, and the weather is nice. It's the perfect combination to take the pup on a long hike. We went on a short hike yesterday and he slept SO HARD afterwards, so I hope he's up to something a bit more intense tomorrow. Worst case scenario I can carry him.

Me too. This weekend is going to be all about homework. Which is why I'm on Lemmy, as are you. XD

There will always be negativity unfortunately. I've come to realize that engaging in it is a waste of one's time and doesn't help resolve whatever issue the person on the other side may be going through. I try to diffuse situations, but I can't always spend all my time doing that.

As for weekend plans, not much really. Gonna head to the gym after work and complete my assignment. Same for tomorrow. Maybe start a new video game from my backlog after playing some Muse Dash. I always crave a good platformer.

Indeed, that's the most reasonable approach. I was a bit down because I had put a lot of energy into a community, but the mod didn't really seem to opening discussions with the members. I ended leaving, but that left a bitter taste

Gonna go to a friend's birthday party. He's turning 18 and I'll give him a "best mother ever" shirt.

If you are easily obsessed, do not check it out.

I've been looking forward to Persona 3 Reload on PS5 so I blocked off the whole weekend to play it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m racing tiny cars bro!

I help run an RC racing club. In the summer we do parking lot 1/10 scale in road, and in the winter we do 1/28 scale (Mini Z) indoor onroad. It’s a fuckin blast.

This is an update

Before, I replies that I was cautiously pessimistic.

Now, I am cautiously optimistic.

My wife and I are going to go grocery shopping and make some meal preps. Thinking about General Tso's chicken w/ shrimp fried rice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Planning on some much needed yard work and taking my little one on a playdate with her classmates.

After some grocery shopping looking forward to making some hot soup since it's been raining a lot here.

Meeting a student for drinks, catching up on my reading, maybe make a knife.

I'm going to my sister's. I've been craving her macaroni and potato salads. She texted yesterday to say they were all made and we are getting together today.

I'm going to play destiny 2 with my long distance besties

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nothing planned for tomorrow (apart from a kedgeree), but on Sunday we'll be checking in on our bees and having a planning meeting for the spring.
