Haha I can see that that would have worked as well. Not a bad way to start the day.

It's even worse, it's 6th grade

I have no experience with this, at all, but could creating symlinks from your internal SSD to your external HDD perhaps solve this issue?

Der kunne lige så godt have stået

"Denmark's PM Frederiksen suffers election setback after eating too many leverpostejsmadder"

Jeg har ikke læst artiklen, men overskriften i sig selv giver lige så god mening som leverpostejsmadder.

Oh, that one was new for me. In Denmark we something similar. We call it Error 40.

”Error 40", where the error is not in the machine, but approximately 40 cm in front of the screen.

"I said they were armed with BUCKETS OF WATER!! And our bad guys might SLIP AND FALL!!"

These terrorist are getting out of hands with these armed vehicles loaded with gallons of water

The worst part for me is mixing sayings and the construction of sentences. I've never been that good at English grammar, but after using English more and more, my grammar in my native language have gotten worse. I'm half way in a sentence, in my native language, before I notice I've started on an English saying, but directly translated to my native language and it makes no sense. But, there's no cow on the ice, as you say, because my wife and I are like pots and pans, as you also say; we are the same way.

He was the kind of cat that would sleep on your chest, he could play fetch, and he would come to the door when I was on my way out, and demanded to either be picked up or get me down on a knee (even though there were others at home) so he could do this weird and very cute thing where we kind of chewed on my nose while purring insanely.

You are not wrong. In this graph it seems like 2002 - 2012 was the calmest period in a very long time.

Edit:

Actually kind of an interesting graph. Seems like there is a pattern of 10 years of conflict and tension and then a either a hold or another 10 years with a calm period.

I definitely get that! And it is definitely an issue. Personally, I feel like the state of the world is constantly knocking on my door. It's almost claustrophobic. I vote for parties and politicians I believe in, I try to avoid supporting the ones who try to fuck up our world by not using their products or buy them.

But besides that, I not sure what else I can do, and I'm definitely up for suggestions.

Sure, but i've just reached a point where I don't want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.

There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.

I have a filter on

• Trump
• Musk
• ICE
• Vance
• [Ai] slop
• Microsoft
• Grok

My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.
