Looking for feedback on what you all are wanting out of this community!
Was it ever rude? Like, get going. Obviously need a wake up either way.
As others have mentioned the way you honk can be rude. And honking too quickly.
Seriously, sometimes calling in every once in a while and getting some stuff down around the house, the yard, or actually enjoying a hobby - does wonders for the mental health.
Skipping work when you feel productive and refreshed vs only when you feel like shit - should be a thing (aka mental health days ran in tangent with sick time).
Hope people have/had a good long weekend celebrating Canada Day and/or Independence Day!
Saw her at a local university, she was a fantastic speaker and I learned lots! Happy I got to experience her.
What a treasure.
Rest in peace. ❤
Will be throwing out a random Ruby picture every Tuesday to try and get some more eyes on the community. If anyone wants to do something similar for a while, please do so! Bonus points if it's a silly name/weekday combo like Ruby Tuesday.
The early days of YouTube, spurred our own shitty video making within our group of friends. OG Neopets and Habbo Hotel were peak socializing with strangers on the internet. MSN allowed me to actually talk to people I knew in a way that was harder to do in person, helped me form relationships I wouldn't have normally had.
Neopets was probably my first time delving headfirst into forums. It was a neat thing where you can join guilds, sometimes super niche ones where everyone is just as into the thing as you are, and just talk to similar-minded people.
It was a cool feeling as someone from a rural town in the middle of Canada.
Was there a particular reason for getting a Schnauzer? Or was it just happenstance?
Welcome to the Mini Schnauzer community!
Figured I'd start by spamming my own Mini Schnauzer, our little Ruby!
I'm new to the moderator game, so bear with me. Lemmy seems like a pretty chill place compared to Reddit so I'll try it out with something straight-forward and dear to my heart.
I grew up with Miniature Schnauzers, among other types of dogs. In fact, our very first puppy was one! Jack. Followed by Jill, naturally. I'm sure you'll see them on here at some point! Even though they are no longer with me, they hold a special place in my heart.
As I got my own home established, my husband and I decided that another Mini Schnauzer would be a wonderful fit as our first together.
Ruby was the runt of the litter and is quite the timid, delicate flower; but we are of course smitten.
Excited to see all the photos and hear all the stories! Hopefully we can all also provide some insights to those thinking of getting one themselves and any issues people may be having with their stubborn little ones.
We can only handle so much shit in a shit post.
Right? Like we need to really start realizing that being uncomfortable can actually be a positive thing. Allows us to push past our norm and open our minds to different perspectives. We might not always like it. We might not always understand it. But we learn something, whether it be about ourselves or others.
It's science-y enough but I'm definitely not considered a scientist so much as a technologist. I work as a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Technologist. Previously a X-Ray Technologist.
My machine does all the science for me but it's a pretty neat concept. Using magnetic gradients and RF pulses at hydrogen protons to acquire accurate digital imaging.
Old habits die hard. Getting used to the more inclusive, positive environment. It feels weird...and warm.
Damn. Not sure why I didn't think to do that! Thanks so much!
Not gonna lie, definitely joined solely for the name and cute mouse logo but I'm happy with the decision so far!
However I can't seem to get any of the apps to work with this instance. It's either not listed (Jerboa) or the url won't add (lemmur). Unless there's a specific way to set up the url that I'm unaware of. Anyone else have any insight? Or is it just a browser thing until it gains more traction?
I really think this is what the solution can be boiled down to for a lot of people. The rat race just to survive (not even thrive) is killer on the mood, where you feel like you are headed towards existentially, and utterly depletes the energy.
Why even bother trying to pursue things we actually enjoy? Or find out what we do enjoy? Too tired from work. Don't want to leave the house again if I can help it. It costs so much to do anything. Honestly, if I didn't end up having some decent people to hang out with at work I wouldn't have anyone close by. It's ridiculous.
