You may just have preconceived notions. I’m in a similar position and am trying not to expect this sort of behavior. However my plan is to maintain open and honest communication. If you feel resentment or animosity arising from someone, have a private meeting with them to discuss it. It’s a simple “hey I feel some resentment from you towards myself and/or other teams members and I wanted to clear the air and see if I did something to upset you?”. Usually simple, clear, concise beginnings are best. Get an understanding of why someone is acting a certain way then try to find a way to relate to their emotions. Then you can both try to come up with a way to relieve their resentment and tension between the crew members.

Another comment said “we’re all adults” but society breeds immaturity and people rarely know how to discuss their emotions so they bottle them and that can manifest as anger or passive aggression. Both of which prolong uneasy feelings for NO reason when a small discussion can usually make things better. Confrontation can be hard at first, but ultimately helps to release pressure from building up inside.

You are correct. Thank you for holding me accountable. Sometimes I can be shortsighted, as it is human nature, and not consider the whole story. Sorry OP for coming off as a dick. I am empathetic to your situation and I hope you find some justice and your friend and her child can find a way to leave safely.

Why doesn’t your “friend” stick up for you to this asshole? If legal routes don’t work, you can always find some sort of petty revenge to make his life a living hell. If you’re into that kind of thing.

Mandarin oranges/clementines in cottage cheese

I’ve got most of those things already. I need to procure some sort of small greenhouse-like chamber to maintain humidity. For my actives, I covered my tubs with plastic bags which worked fantastic but not sure that would work with gourmet. Perhaps this will be my winter project later this year!

Are you married to LEGO for nostalgia’s sake? We all have preferences to brands, myself included. I love that you’re also “recycling” by buying previously used sets. That’s amazing, I had no idea that existed and I’m going to look into it!

My husband loves LEGOs and has started buying the Mould King brand on Amazon. He says they’re just as good but are a fraction of the price.

Gourmets would be so fun to grow! I did some actives awhile back for microdosing and it was so hard not to check on the tubs every couple hours. I had my eyes in lions mane at one point but never ordered any. What are some other ones you like and how do you like cook/prepare them? I’ve also wanted to get into wild foraging but need to do more research for what’s in my area and ensure I don’t bring home poisonous ones.

Man I felt that last sentence in my soul. I am constantly picking up different hobbies and dropping them. I like the idea of cycling. My husband used to and he’s been wanting to get back into it so that would be something we could do together sometimes.

I have considered woodworking but I also don’t really have space to do it. I would love to take a class for it to learn some basics to go on! Watercolor could be interesting. I’m an absolutely terrible drawer and it’s discouraged me in the past.

I do have a gaming laptop but I suspect the battery is spicy so it’s currently in exile. Otherwise I have been wanting to dabble a bit in computer stuff and an old laptop would’ve been the perfect toy to fuck around and find out on.

I think BJJ or some other form of martial arts would be a great outlet to release some pent up aggression and rage. I may look into gyms around my area after I begin working.

I have gotten back into cooking and meal planning some amazing meals. I used to do sourdough but my starter was neglected to the point of death. RIP. Maybe I’ll start anew! Always looking for fun and interesting topics to learn about which fuels my lemmy addiction.

I’ll check the site out, thanks for sending it. I do have an old buddy that opened his own studio so I’ll look him up and see what his openings are like! I am a decent self learner but there is always things you can learn better with proper instructions!

Haha no what’s that?!

I’ve spent soooo many hours on Reddit and now lemmy. It is so addicting for me and I’d like to stop being on my phone so much. I HAVE been wanting to learn Spanish. It would help in my professional life and my husband is Hispanic and his parents/extended family primarily speak it. Thanks for the reminder and all the other wonderful suggestions! I do crochet amigurumi but I burnt myself out a bit by trying to sell them.

I actually bought an acoustic to do some self lessons on during my externship year but couldn’t commit to one thing. I guess I need some guidance on the best way to approach it. Any suggestions for YouTube channels or books to follow?

The way outside smells when it first starts to rain.

Drinking coffee outside on a cool, crisp morning with the sun coming up.

Walking barefoot.

When my kitties jump on my lap for snuggles, let me wrap my arms around them, and give them exactly 1 million head smooches.

Yeah hard pass on the subscription based auto pilot. Everything is going to be subscription based soon enough.

Hahahah phew!! I use Memmy and I can reply from my inbox and it didn’t have the OP badge shown there.

Agreed that no hostility should be shown to admins who run and operate their instances without expectations of payment. Harassment in general is completely unproductive in any scenario. I just graduated professional school and am awaiting state licensing before I can work (hopefully the next couple weeks), after which I will gladly donate!

The biohazard in my mind was threads and it’s already been spilled. Instances defederating sooner rather than later us the containment. So destroy meta and we’ve destroyed the biohazard, hooray!

The balance of probabilities certainly makes sense and applies here. I don’t expect threads to last long.

I see both sides to it. I agree a biohazard spill should be contained immediately instead of letting it spread. On the other hand, we don’t want to come off as immediately hostile and want to have solid reasons for why we do what we do.

I’m enjoying the healthy conversation around it. I do have a hard time supporting the “wait and see” side and most things OP said are valid. Since threads isn’t immediately federating, we have some time before we start to see what the impact will be or if instance admins will change their minds.
