Hey, thank you!

I have hit the check mark to choose your answer but do not think that functionality is working for me right now.

Care to crosspost to !deshittification@thebrainbin.org? I’d do it, but PieFed is not letting me crosspost non-link posts too easily

Man I miss !musicals@kbin.social, I love musical theatre. The person who modded it took the username Prouvaire, like the minor character from Les Misérables, which I found pretty cool. Though I admit I’m much better at participating in one (whether behind the scenes or onstage) than at sitting down to watch one I’m not studying to better contribute to my own theatre group’s performance of it.

My naive understanding of things says this is what construction companies are for. Pay the one that does the best work the fastest. It already exists, just not in publicized easy-to-judge ways. Of course, perverse incentives and corruption as well as just “work expands to fill the time allotted” and genuine roadblocks in progress and complex stuff I do not 100% know because I do not work at a construction company but am vaguely aware exists because of adult cynicism plays a part too…

Makes sense. Have not knit in awhile now and I was never quite good at it, so it seems I made a wrong assumption. Thank you for letting me know better

Knitting for dolls must be amazing bite-size practice for bigger projects. And quick results for the dopamine hit of a project done.

very late to this post, but !shmups@lemmus.org

idk, this reads more like posting anything that reads as “cozy” than screeching.

notice lately how nobody makes a point we disagree with nowadays or gets mildly upset, when we talk about people proposing things we do not like they are ridiculous screeching crying babies? it’s… disheartening. i’m not the biggest fan at all of the direction of !nicememes nowadays and try to post memes instead of generic “cozy” tweets when i have time, but come on, she’s not screeching. she is just sharing someone else’s post

Canned green beans! Glad to hear they are lasting so long. Maybe I should get this, I like green beans but wasn’t aware of the canned option.

I am not seeing that on either desktop or mobile.

If it’s relevant, I’m trying to crosspost an @emotional_series7814@kbin.melroy.org post, so technically not the same account.

Paging @ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone @ladybutterfly@lazysoci.al who might be able to help, posts a lot on !nicememes@sopuli.xyz

I personally try to post on !NiceMemes whenever I see something that fits and will crosspost here when I think it fits; but my life has picked up in business so I can’t exactly dedicate much time to explicitly searching.

ah, but didn’t you know you always trust your gut?

not me being irrationally mad that when i was on reddit, r/askreddit had so many “trust your gut” stories and threads of “reddit, when did you trust your gut and it turned out to be right,” and very few “reddit, when did you trust your gut and it turned out to be wrong?” threads. but it is also true that stories of avoiding a danger that manifested are more exciting than deciding to not avoid a danger that never manifested, so the latter got fewer clicks and engagement

just… really glad that i see something agreeing with the “don’t always trust your gut” viewpoint for once. although i super super understand risk aversion and that it’s better to avoid a danger that never manifests than it is to go boldly and end up facing danger, because that’s how i am. but i also imagine that “trusting your gut” and avoiding that weirdo creep just might have been “i’m unfamiliar with this” bias against neurodivergent people who don’t 100% know how to come off normal even if they desperately tried to, or against people from a different culture or race who don’t do the exact same social signaling you’re used to (or maybe they just do, and implicit/unconscious bias does the rest of the work for you). as a neurodivergent person i wonder how many people have “trusted their gut” and decided to write me off. (but i also really can’t blame people for avoiding if they thought i was dangerous, i get it.) there are probably other, more dramatic cases where trusting your gut can legitimately harm yourself or others in a way beyond just missed opportunities or the harms of social exclusion/judgment, but this is the one that immediately comes to mind.

Don’t know about a separate website but I found a similarly-named tumblr blog: https://cuteness-overload.com/

I get the sentiment expressed, but tbh…

I’ll be honest, I really don’t get this one besides the guy getting super meta.

I do wonder how meta people got in historical times. They definitely thought about their legacy, how others would perceive them when they were dead, but how layered did it get? “Will people think I did X because I was worried about my legacy?” Trying to both not get all “lol historical people dumdums with no resemblance to the thoughts we had today, even though they too were intelligent humans” or “lol historical people thought exactly as we do today, no concepts had to take time to learn and permeate culture before they became something people would think about, ‘we stand on the shoulders of giants’ and they had the exact same quantity of and access to these giants that we do today”

This this this this. I am dealing with the real world every day. I hear about and try to do something about the horrors. But joy is important too for resisting, and it’s hard to have that when you check on online and there is snark everywhere and shoving the horrors into every possible discussion. I probably could just get offline, but on the other hand I want to help the Fediverse grow so I keep coming back. Even taking my approach of only looking at communities I subscribe to… I had to filter out gaming@lemmy.world because people would politic in every conversation. I appreciate a safe space from the horrors.

The first and last ones (Moby Dick, Great Gatsby for anyone curious) feel like they work the best with the YouTuber greeting to me.

It worked! Thank you, and thank you @Blaze@piefed.zip!
