what kinds of things do you like to make, grow, and learn?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

i write, short stories mostly existential horror, and "essays" about anything i find interesting (that really just means i ramble about things i find interesting for several hundred-1000+ words on tumblr); also i made and maintain a personal website, i make mods and themes for things other people make cuz i don't code enough to make anything of my own; sometimes i make videos but i'm generally too shy to do that regularly; i play video games; i collect plushies; and i recentlyish picked up making pixel art

i also want to get into crochet, cooking, and gardening but my time with those has so far mostly just been using social media to see what other people do. i mean i cook but wouldn't classify how i do cooking as a hobby lol

i have adhd too, also i'm agoraphobic, and in addition to ideally being able to orbit around several hobbies i also just need things to fill in my time since i don't get outside very often

i agree; communication is very complicated and for example even understandings of common phrases varies sometimes not just regionally but from person to person, so it makes sense to me that people in general often struggle to pick up on hints, especially the more subtle the hints are, and that's no one's fault. for hints in terms of sexual/romantic i think i would also probably factor in self esteem as depression and anxiety are epidemics in our society that are only getting worse as it becomes harder to maintain social lives as third places disappear. low self-esteem often comes with depression and anxiety and people who struggle with it may assume that no one would/could be interested in them or be flirting with them. idk, that at least described me for a long time when i was younger. in the case of my bf he's also autistic and struggles to pick up on social cues in general, much less flirting

lol knowing my bf if i said something like that he'd say something like "actually i'm pretty sure winter's coming" before he does

when we met, my bf never picked up any of my hints, and i gave him many. i mean we met online, had a lot in common, and got along really well right away. i mean he was exactly my type and i was very clear about that as we got to know each other lol. but i only hint at interest until i'm sure, and then i get direct, so i eventually asked him out. he seemed pretty embarrassed for not picking up on the hints afterward, especially the more direct ones, but i just thought he was pretty adorable for it. i've never really thought all men are necessarily bad at taking hints in particular i mean i have never put much thought into whether a particular gender is worse at picking up on hints but i'm a woman and i've dated and had situationships with men, women, enbies and more and and in hindsight i'd say i've been bad at picking up on hints and everyone's been bad at picking up on my hints so probably everyone's bad at it lol

conservatives don't get mad at anything they don't personally do or don't make things up about other people to get mad at challenges (impossible)

 

Ever since the update this is on every page for me

and when I click it this interface comes up

 

i've been rewatching the series in preparation for the upcoming new episodes and i wheezed at this. i love Zoidberg so much more this time around than i remember liking him the first time i watched lol

 

update: March 07, 2024: this is not the first time i updated this style, but i just came back to Lemmy from a pretty long break, and i noticed a couple things were broken and since "Browser Default" still isn't automatically changing my theme with my system theme, i decided to go ahead and update it. this style now works regardless of whether you have a light theme or a dark theme selected in your settings, and i fixed all the broken stuff that i noticed

https://userstyles.world/style/10392/skys-lemmy-tweaks

original post:

i personally sometimes found it a little hard to visually distinguish between comments in really long threads so i made this simple userstyle that remedies the problem for me by adding a semi-transparent background to comments.

you can use this css with a browser extenion like Stylus (officially supports Chrome and Firefoxx and can be installed on most popular Chromium-based browsers including Edge, Vivaldi, and Opera) once you have Stylus installed you can go here and click the "install" button to automate the installation of my css. otherwise you can copy the css below and paste it into a new style in Stylus

my instance also doesn't automatically change light/dark theme based on browser/system preferences (i'm under the impression some other instances can do that) so this userstyle also changes to light or dark theme based on system preference, it's made to override Lemmy light themes so you'll have to manually apply a light theme in your Lemmy settings for the color switching to work properly (the comment contrast feature should work either way, though.)

the css should work for all instances of Lemmy, but i didn't add the url for all instaces cuz of i was lazy. i did add a few of the most popular instances and the instance i use, though. if you want you can ask me to add your instance and i will, or you can just add it yourself in Stylus.

ok thx bai
