I worked with her older sister for a couple years, perfectly content being single. One day, randomly blurted out that I hated being single. Her sister asked me to describe what I wanted, I said a few things, and “You just described my sister! Let me introduce you.”

Apparently, she had already thought we would be perfect together. That was 16 years ago, and we’ve been married for almost 13. I could not ask for a more perfect person to have as my wife and dearest friend.

That’s really sweet!

The whole shitness of that workplace was redeemed by this one single moment from my sister in law lol.

A couple things I value and a few childish superficial things.

I remember saying something like “why can’t I just meet a really kind, intelligent, kinda nerdy” then I forget, then “short, brown-haired girl?”

And my now-sister in law, “OMG that’s my sister!” Honestly, it feels like it was meant to be.

It’s a clip show episode musical without the normal effort they put into clip shows like the self-aware 138th episode spectacular in season 7 episode 10.

Same! The cross platform availability is what keeps me coming back.

I also use a bunch and a head system that works. TickTick has been my go to for high importance tasks/reminders, then 3 more apps for various mental purposes.

Comparison is the thief of happiness.

I have many favorites, but this comes to mind often.

Fear shrinks the brain.

Is another good one.

habitualcynic ,

I like that. Also, “if they want you to be afraid, they don’t want you to think.”

habitualcynic ,

lol also true! I think of mine more in the context of when I see things from the media. If they seem to be instilling fear (omg immigrants are coming, they’re scary), it’s because they don’t want you to think critically.

habitualcynic ,

Wholeheartedly agree

habitualcynic ,

Same, I didn’t know lemmy.ml had a reputation when I was new

habitualcynic ,

why not both?

habitualcynic ,

Ah yeah I do agree with that. I was partially referencing the meme, but also there’s those kind of people who would inconsiderately take up others’ space until the airline made them move. There’s enough to be annoyed at both! :P

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Built-in step count is in the activity app! Just keep scrolling, it’s after the stand hours. Noticed it the other day, I think it’s easy to overlook.

habitualcynic ,

Ooooh that makes sense! I totally agree with you on that, I would much rather have it at a glance.

If there’s a cover up, this is the one that makes the most sense to me. It aligns with Occam’s Razor; it’s simple and understandable why it would be hidden. Edit: posted with more detail elsewhere in the thread: lemmy.world/comment/7523091
