Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just... Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

You got to spend some time with your brother. He'll remember that.

[-] Kimdracula@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Dude I'm like double his age. He's a teenager and I'm not, that's it.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

I'm 40, my siblings are 19 and 23 and 41. They all appreciate hanging out.

That's unfortunate for you both.

Sounds like you finally have a chance to be the adult in a room. Could be a fun, new experience for you!

I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.

There are mutual aid communities on lemmy where you might be able to find someone willing to send you some cash through an app. Good luck.

[-] Kimdracula@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah it was a weird experience.

[-] Thavron@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Yes that sounds like nothing compared to the hellish experience of being forced to go to comic con.

I think you're making fun of me but trust me it was not ok

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

"Making fun" isn't quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you're being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.

I know it seems trite, but it's important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.

I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I'm working 12 hours which is annoying but that's life.

The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 6 points 4 months ago

And Labour won a landslide in the UK! Good stuff!

My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We've spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven't seen in months. It's been a good time and we'll be here for the rest of the week.

Hello,

I see you are a new account, feel free to join !casualconversation@lemm.ee , we have a lot of those threads

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago

It's not a new account. It's a serial ban evader who is on like his 6th account because he keeps getting banned from asklemmy for acting like an incel

[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

This makes so much sense. This person sounds insufferable on so many levels.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Every time he posts, he responds to every reply being dismissive and shitty. He literally can't say the words "woman" or "relationship" without adding on "which I will never get to experience". Whenever anyone tries to give him actionable advice like therapy or ways to improve his mindset, he shuts them down.

I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Up and down. Depression hit me super hard, slept/read 14-hour days, but despite that, there were some great things.

Took the family out on my little 10' boat and watched the downtown fireworks from the river. We were directly underneath, cardboard shells raining on us! What a rush! None of us has ever seen anything like it.

Been limping along with a shit fridge that barely works. Got a new one from FB for $200! Nicest fridge I've ever had. Going to be a huge project swapping them. Hell, getting it out of the other guy's house was a chore.

And tonight we're hitting Aldi and loading up on food. Can't wait to have a good fridge, freezer and ice maker again.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Congratulations!!!

A working fridge is a great thing!

Got the air conditioner mounted in the bedroom in time for the heatwave. Now to take a quick afternoon nap and then work on the fence.

Spent most of today on trains coming back to Germany from my 2 weeks Interrail trip to the UK. Had a great time there. Spent yesterday exploring Bath and climbing up Solsbury Hill in the evening.

I went to Vienna to see Kraftwerk and it was really great. Vienna itself is a bit shitty though IMO

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Lol damn, my job is to go to comic conventions and deal with all the weirdos (I don't mean that in a negative way; I'm a fuckin weirdo too) almost every weekend.

I was in South Carolina this weekend, currently staying in a hotel on my way back home. Then next weekend I get to drive back out this same way to Knoxville for a show.

Edited to add: STOP BEING SHITTY, OP. Goddamn you're fuckin insufferable. Why even waste the time on this post if you're not gonna do anything about your life?

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

It sounds like you're not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I've misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it's still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I'm glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.

Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I've relaxed my "catch and release, no kill" rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don't see any right now. Guessing I've killed like 40 so far. Apparently it'll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don't catch some of the few bugs in here.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Mine's been great! Was playing some old games that I still love

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

My depression has been trolling its way back recently, I was doing good since January... Those two weeks have been hard. Keep crying without knowing why exactly during my visits at my psychologist.

But the weekend wasn't that bad. We went to the municipal pool yesterday, the kid was happy. Today we went to the beach with friends, it was a most beautiful and relaxing day. When we came back, everything started going so wrong, I became super clumsy and almost broke stuff multiple times. Ended up screaming at myself and went to my office in the basement to isolate myself.

I feel bad for my wife and son. They deserve better than what I can offer right now.
