    meow-hug It's tough to get used to. For weeks after one of my dogs passed I would see something like a blanket on the couch in the corner of my eye and think it was her, then I'd be reminded she was gone an instant later as I realized. When you say "watering him" I picture him sitting with his mouth open as you pour water over him like a plant haha.




  • tocopherol [any]toaskchapoWhat's your skincare routine?

    Zero routine, I wash my face with warm water in the shower using my hands, maybe once a week I use a simple facial wash. I use a pretty basic body wash with nothing fancy in it and my skin is soft and clear. I also have a terrible diet and don't drink enough water.

    I know plenty of people have to do more to keep from getting flakey skin or acne but this works for me. In my view it seems a lot of skincare stuff is BS marketing, but I think I may not be the norm so I don't mean to shame anyone that has an intensive routine.


  • True but some people could die, before my mom passed away she required an oxygen machine, she had a tank to use if power was out but it only lasted so long, so potentially she could have died if the power went out. If people aren't well prepared for it it can be dangerous especially in the winter.

    I had to see the comments, my brain health be damned, and even r/conspiracy comments are basically saying "what?? America is hella racist."

    This is one of the dumbest posts on here in ages. And thats quite the achievement given recent events.

    Though I wouldn't be surprised if at least one or two were FBI or another agencies plants.

    I prefer tofu, I haven't found it essential to press it but maybe some varieties you need to. I cut open the edge of the pack and squeeze it a little before taking out the tofu to get some water out though. Super simple and no saw dust vibes. If you do press it it's not very troublesome, it just takes a little extra time but not more than half an hour.

    I worked in a ramen restaurant and didn't press or even cook the tofu, I thought it was odd at first but it became my favorite way to do it because it's so easy and has a nice texture but it depends on the type. I can't find the brand we used that I really enjoyed but some have a much less pleasant flavor IMO and probably need more draining.




  • It was blown out of proportion for sure and tough to follow even at the time it was happening. Most of the deleted comments were from one user who kept making alt accounts to be incredibly insulting to people who were arguing against the changes, I'm not sure if mods figured out who it was for certain but I think it was someone who was banned here already. There was a lot of heated discussion but it doesn't seem like a massive deal overall and seems to have blown over by now.

    Mods made c/counterpropaganda and c/gossip to theoretically replace the two tanks, but their purposes aren't super clear to people, basically dunk posts are now posted in c/slop.


  • I saw printouts of Trump's tweets on the dashboard of private security vehicles in 2020, I feel like it's been glossed over slightly how much he had a hand in inspiring violence from chuds at that time. There were dozens of missing people related to protests that got little coverage as well, it seems likely it was worse than we even realize.


  • In addition to the racist name, a statement that recieved a lot of backlash claimed it had 'white cishet man vibes', there was discussion behind the scenes about it with other instance admins, supposedly "part of a broader push to reduce misogyny on hexbear and lemmy in general." You can read all the struggle posts about it and still not understand the full reasoning. Top-down decisions to change site culture with no community input beforehand, and then conflicting reasons given for the changes.

    I followed all the posts about it and didn't really care about the tanks themselves too much, but I don't think I'm alone in saying I don't trust or fully understand the decisions made.

    You didn't kill her, I'm sure you only did what was necessary for her well-being. I'm sorry though, it's never easy to lose loved ones meow-hug
