If you dont have one already, now seems like a good time to also look for a good mechanic you feel you can trust. I’d start by asking around with folks you know- in my experience the best mechanics have customers that will gladly tell you they’re amazing and send you their way

Its hard to have much confidence in what’s going on with the car if you dont work on it yourself and have visibility to how things are going, or have someone trustworthy you can ask to help you assess what’s going on, and get perspective on whether you need to be worried

If you decide to replace it you can also as them to check out the new car for you, which could be massively helpful

I adore your hatching, especially on the face, it has such a pleasing texture

I’m so fuckin proud of you! Keep taking little steps, keep being compassionate to yourself, we believe in you! ❤️

Anxiety is really fucking hard, and you can do hard things 🫂

Maybe ai generated?

I think numbering the usb versions instead to using their correct letters may be intentional though, so as to not spoil the acab joke

Cute! The way you drew his face and his ears poking out reminds me of a little sheep

Lmao

Probably, but you still can’t adjust trackpad scroll speed so its just cartoonishly fast on a lot of hardware. And the software store refreshes the view every five seconds while you’re in the middle of doing something 😅

Yeah I’m kinda surprised that wasn’t already a thing…? 😅

Hey you- you reading this, try talking to someone on the fediverse who’s perspective you dont understand. Share what you think and try to understand what they do :)

We’re all just here escaping the corporate dystopia. Reject the engagement-centric rage bait socialization we’ve all been handed and be curious about whatever weird belief system or ideology that internet rando has. We can build a different culture here, its not too late

Man, thats beautiful, what a cool form

Aw hell yeah 😊

Aside from the beard hair splinter, how’s your winter going so far?

I don’t eat nearly enough veggies but when I make frozen orange chicken I put some pieces of broccoli around the edges of the pan and let them roast while the breaded chicken gets crispy

They are mostly soft, but get nicely browned and crisp at the edges. I dunno If thats a texture that’d work for you, but it’s pretty enjoyable for me, even with me being more picky when it comes to veggie textures

But I’m not sure if there’s any real way to get a good fresh broccoli texture with the frozen stuff, if thats what your after. I don’t have a ton of experience making broccoli in general cause I don’t love broccoli that much but most of the time freezing is going to do damage to the cell structure of veggies and they’re gonna be unavoidably softer

I hope you find something that works for you!

Thats kick ass! This comm doesn’t get a ton of posts, I think we’re happy to see you got something that should serve you well :)

Man, the spacing between those lines is so consistent, even a little out of whack and being next to lines that are supposed to be parallel would make it obviously not look right

Beautiful work, I really like this piece

Honestly I think the best starting point is getting involved in local government.

Show up to anything related to these sorts of infrastructure issues. Meet folks there who also care about those issues. Look for organized efforts.

You can also try to research local groups involved in these civic planning issues and start trying to participate with them. But ultimately the way you solve these problems is by getting involved, looking for more ways to participate in the decision making itself, and organizing with other people :)

Ohhh. I think you may have gotten confused about where you’re replying to. I hadn’t even seen them, as they weren’t in the direct chain of comments I was replying in. I was thanking Krono for explaining that tankie came from violence carried out in the Soviet Union long before the tianamen square massacre, and so the name predated that particular act of violence

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day :)

Krono? Or are you referring to someone else in this thread?

Seeing people organizing this kinda stuff on the fediverse makes me so happy, this is what the internet is so special for ❤️

I hope you have a lovely day op

Thanks. As someone who has a circadian rhythm disorder and takes exogenous melatonin every day, this seems like a helpful thing to be aware of, I appreciate the link
