Sounds fierce! My beagle chihuahua mix will just make very loud high pitched and squawky noises, so as long as your chihuahua still has hearing mine has a chance in a battle

I know I’ve seen you before because your username cracks me up

I was starting to think I was crazy bc I don’t see profile pics anywhere! But I guess it’s a Voyager thing

Realtor and brand and marketing consultant for our brokerage. Not the astronaut or veterinarian I pictured myself as a kid. But still, I’m happy :)

Well now I just looked up the documentary and put it on! Whatever this faction is I don’t think it’s representative of the whole. The ones near me I think have always embodied peacefulness. The temple has its doors open regularly, I’ve never really walked in and looked around but it would be interesting. It’s also in an area that’s really blown up in value since they bought it, worth many millions today. I’m sure they’ve been offered buyouts by developers but clearly didn’t accept any if so. Just goes to show it’s not about the money for them!

Heyo, run of the mill cis girl here, middle age (that pains me to say it but it’s reality), we’re here. And I’ve honestly noticed the demographic being a lot of mid-30’s and up here. Not exclusively of course but more so than Reddit

Have you ever been asked to fish one out when it got stuck? Be prepared, it may happen one day

There’s a temple of theirs very near me. I don’t see many around now but back in the 90s it’s was a big thing. But they were always very peaceful here, not remotely sinister. They just played that tambourine and chanted away and did their own thing

One of the things I used to love about Reddit (obviously pre-enshitification) was the openness and willingness within the community to listen to other perspectives and the calm and intelligent discussion of ideas. That became less and less and I miss it. Lemmy gets that herd mentality and if you don’t 100% agree on all points with certain ideas here then you’re just wrong and downvoted away. So I just choose not to engage

Yes and I’ve largely opted out of the same conversations irl too, for my own mental health I have to check out of certain conversations

Thank you! I really appreciate that and needed to hear it :)

Going home. I’m at some weekend festival to support a hobby my husband has become very passionate about. I’m incredibly happy for him and love that he’s found this but it’s just not my thing and I want to go home. Also some asshole at a party last night said something stupid to me to make me feel unnecessarily unwelcome and I really shouldn’t be letting it affect me. Anywho

ETA I also really miss my dogs!

I’m traveling to their homeland this weekend, I believe there’s a Walmart museum and everything. To be clear I’m not going there for Walmart

That’s the spirit

stop cuddling the idiots everyone!! They’re getting far to warm and cozy

Where in America? I’m in America and have never seen those!

Cool ranch Doritos and I keep them out of my house because I will marry them and have little zesty crunchy babies with them if they’re anywhere near me

I don’t think your supervisor is mis-communicating, I think they just don’t know what they want. But they want you to still choose correctly even though there is no correct answer. It’s like when my husband asks what I want for dinner and I tell him “I don’t know, you pick”, there’s definitely a right and wrong answer for his decision but I don’t know it until he chooses it! Yes I know how messed up that is. Anywho, god speed to you

No, that level of vanity is unattractive to me

I googled “congestulate” to see if there was any chance that was an actual word
