Same great Dharma, new Fediverse packaging!

Check out DharmaCurious.org for ramblings on philosophy and the occasional creative writing project!

  • In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) "tarot" generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. "French Tarot" is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol

    It's honestly become my favorite card game, though I've really only just started getting into it.

  • Depends, probably I'm going to pretend to not be home and not answer my phone.

    But if you're someone I like, I might force you to learn the rules to French Tarot and play that. Or another trick taking game like hearts or spades. Assuming my brother is also home and we have a 3rd player.

    There's also always music, movies, tv shows, et cetera.

    We could crochet.

    If you're gay we could probably have sex. I'm normally down to clown.

    We could play fetch with the dogs.

    If all else fails you can play games on the Xbox while I read.

    But really, if you're just showing the hell up with 10 minutes of warning you need to be the one with a plan here. Otherwise I'm probably going to just keep doing what I normally do and you can join in if you want.

  • YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment

  • Iron on patches are your friend for areas like this. Curved needles as someone else suggested also work.

    But because I hate my hands, I almost always just unstitch the pocket and lining, sew the patches on, and then reconstruct the pocket and lining. Probably don't do this, I get hyper fixated on projects and do things the long way round.

  • They're back!

  • I'm using a mobile app. I'll log out and log back in, I reckon?

  • Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Yes. I know all of those words. Know em well.

  • It's still not working for me :(

  • No pets

  • Oh that was a big part of it. Thankfully, we no longer have to deal with a rat infestation, not in a long time. But I still keep all my mason jars and jelly jars. Lol. Öld habits. They're also great in lieu of Tupperware, and depending on the type and how much you fill them, they're freezer safe. I love my mason jars and cast iron lol

  • No pets

    Jump

  • The dichotomy of me: I have always wanted pet rats. I have also lived in a home with a horrible rat infestation. Like, to the point where whole sections of wall have been missing from them chewing them. Keep the food in plastic totes instead of cabinets, and they still chew through the totes. Wild rats, while the same species, are truly horrible to live with them. Not their fault. They're still adorable, intelligent little creatures. But good God does it absolutely suck to have them free ranging themselves in your walls

  • If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they're down right now for a bit, so I'm not sure when they'll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

  • It works for me on Whatsapp, but not on Eternity, the app I use for Lemmy. Wonder why. Thank you for answering though! I'm old enough that I rarely actually use emoji, and just go with emoticons, but this is cool to know!

  • I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?

  • A simple solution, really

  • Thanks. She was my whole world. Like... Crazy close, best friend. It's been rough. I appreciate the sentiment.

  • That's not far off for some of us. That's about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn't spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over... Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I'm now jobless. :/ life sucks

  • Facebook canning groups are a great idea, as someone else mentioned. Them little old ladies can do pretty amazing things on short notice. Can I suggest hitting up local churches? The methodists, Episcopal and baptists are all particularly fond of doing drives and such, and may be able to do an impromptu canning drive for y'all
