Is there a lemmy suggestions box? I like to be able to hide users without blocking them and I’d like to be able to disable comment replys. God dam making some comments out of the instance and I get a bunch of updates from aggressive nerds that I really don’t care for. I tended to disable comments on reddit as soon as I’d commented due to notification avoidance.
Dumb question, but why not just block them?
Hiding feels more like I’m not interested in their content, blocking is for people I don’t like. Sometimes when dealing with my own struggles I can do without hearing about someone else’s. Even just being able to have their posts auto collapsed.

It’s gonna be a big weekend. My Corolla struggled a little bit going up the hill.
This represents a level of nighttime bladder punishment which is now for me a distant memory lol
my favourite
Mr Murphy had a special on. Something like spend $300 and get $50 off.
Heroic
I think she’s only ever done 2 slabs at the most. 💪
Legend.

This is the perfect weather to make health and fitness changes if you need to. Also getting rid of clutter. C’mon guys. You’ve got this!
Anyone want to work on their functional strength? It would be my honour to allow you to come over and mop my floors and scrub my bathroom.
Scrub? How long has it been, you filthy animal?
OK a bit of hyperbole on my part but I don’t deny the filthy animal allegations.
You make it sound like throwing you in the trough at the Laird would be welcome
I’ve had a few trough guys at kink nights I’ve done security at.
The infamous one I know is rather nice if you can ignore that bit
TBH working as a bouncer, the 90s/00s BDSM crowd was probably my favourite for crowd behaviour. They didn’t get messy intoxicated. They were big on respect and consent. If anyone behaved really badly, they were ostracised from the community.
Close but I’m the pisser not the pissee.
Ah. Not my flag, but we never thought that 😺
😂
Here’s a tip. Spray the shower with a cleaning product. Clean the basin, bath and floor then get in the shower and clean that, then yourself. You’ve got this!
Oh I do need to work out 🤷🏼♀️
I have this!!
You have!!
Just dropped off at the opshop and have a hard rubbish booked for the 7th. I also bought a desk chair. A touch more than I wanted to spend, but getting a purchase out of the way has its own value.
Oh man. What a long fucking sleep.
Day is almost over. Chilling in bed it is then lol
I’ve just done psychometric testing for the first time, for a potential job. This seems like a really dumb way to select candidates.
It is. You should check your gut for other weirdnesses.
My dad has worked for his company for about 15 years. They implemented psychometric testing about 10 years ago. If he had to do the psychometric testing, I’m not sure they would’ve hired him. He’s very good at his job, but is pretty much the laughing stock of the office.
If it’s a Myers-Briggs type test, It’s been debunked as not much better than horoscopes. Vague traits that might seem adaptable to almost anyone, and no correlation to job suitability. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator
I know I keep saying tinyest’s language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say “if you say so” and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its “daddy, no” a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.
Once kids start talking, it’s great!!! You’re in for a good time.
A warning, kids have no filter. They say exactly what they see.
him being able to communicate needs (or wants) makes life so much easier!
aw, that is so cute and awesome
and wow, I just love humans, we are really incredible. Language is what makes us. 😊 ( i must be super tired, i’m teary thinking how wonderful tinyest is )
yeah even his little “MINE!” is cute.
One of my boys is a real talker. He’s at the same stage saying things like “this is mine”, “See you later”, and “see you tomorrow”. My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said “Helping old people” because that’s what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.
Naw. That’s beautiful! I for one would like to hear more tinyest milestones. ❤️
can let you know more as he develops. Still remember the day I finally told the DT that we were pregnant. Feels like weeks ago, not years.
Tell me about it. My kid’s 18 in 2 months. Time flies.
I’m pretty beat. So many stairs .
Another early night I think.
Sorry I haven’t been here as much as I would like. Love you all. Special hugs to Spud’s partner, to Tinyest for talking and to Melbs for being a great cat mum and community gardener. 😘😘😘
🐈❤️
Seconded. Rest up seagoon. The water awaits
sky pretty
Ted is such a champ. Here he is enjoying the balcony. 🙂
And I found Bill after much searching , grabbed him, put him in bathroom with food water and a tray. He is better n. He must have felt so uncomfortable, poor little guy.
Bill and ted’s (and yours) excellent adventure :)
Poor bill, he’ll get the hang of it I’m sure.
Thank you 🙂 Bill’s getting better by the hour
but i have to be careful or anytime over the next two months as he could still do a runner. He gets scared and with no thought just runs
I see part of the ol Mic’s cistine chapel in there.
lol, his little paw reaching out
Did a first aid course today. It was way more interesting then I expected (I am scarred by some terrible OH&S seminars). Also a bit confronting. And there’s an app you can sign up to and opt-in to be notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac arrest. So you can hightail it there and help while the ambulance comes. On the one hand I’d love to do that but it also terrifies me
I was working at this joint and I had to study for my first aid renewal. The Minister came in with his grand kids to have a chat. This little boy about 4, grabbed the handle of the iron and went to pull it off the ironing board towards himself. Fuck me. I took the biggest step and managed to grab it in time. When they left someone said “You nearly had to use your first aid then. That was a real life scenario”.
What’s the app? I saw one years ago but it never took off. Good concept, poor adoption.
GoodSAM. I’ve not looked into it beyond being told about it today (Red Cross)
edit: looks like you sign up through the ambos and then use the app.
I hadn’t realised they had widened the criteria to anyone with first aid qualifications, when they started it they just had off duty paramedics and similar using it. It’s a good idea, but it would definitely be confronting if it happened.
I’ve been in a few confronting first aid situations, I keep my head.
Looks like its a UK app, it’s all about the NHS and UK quals.
i hate doing life saving first aid, I get real shook up after
once gave a 4 year old at a kids party a strong whack on the back as he was choking on a big gummy snake, he had blocked his windpipe. He was white, making no noise, making coughing movements, flailing a little. I jumped over chairs and tables to get to him when I saw what was happening. Other mothers at the party looked at me like i was an idiot.
one time getting aid for a stabbing victim lying on the street, other times was just helping with car accident type things
Mine were all overdoses. Mostly heroin or G i reckon.
oh no, that’s awful 😞
Replacing the pita bread kilojoules with iceberg and olive oil for lunch. Turning a salad wrap into a salad. Went okay.
I love doing that. Washing the lettuce leaves not so much. Cos lettuce works well too.
I’ve got garden lettuce, just not enough to bulk out a meal, so I’m topping it off with ice berg. It’d be nice to be under the next arbitrary weight loss goal by April, but I’m basically looking to keep losing until get fat winter hits.
I’m trying to get match ready for menopause.
Morning
Good morning from my other instance backup account.
dumblederp? Who is dumblederp?
Joey Jo Jo come back.
Correct
One of the pumpkins has aphids really severely and it’s starting to spread to the others…
I’ve sprayed soapy water and physically wiped as many as I could off but am a bit worried. Especially as ants are farming them.
Fast, reliable and relatively cheap ethical solution that I’ve used many many times before: bugs for bugs.
It is funny when you see some of your money literally flying away though, but in the grand scheme of things it’s good for the environment.
That’s a good idea. I’ve scrubbed off as much of the heavy infestation as I can but maybe there’s enough to get them to stick around for a bit
If there is food (e.g. aphids) they will stick around and set up a colony, get them a box or a bag. When they’re done they will eat each other… You could also look into lacewings.
This season I’ve been fortunate enough for predators to establish themselves and not had to buy anything.
You’ll defo solve the problem if you buy those. Just one ladybird would demolish what I’m picturing of the problem you have.
For context we have somewhere between 120-160 plants, and about 70% of those are fruit and so prone to aphids and therefore ants marshalling them.
Bottom Racer (not tagging on purpose) and I have been talking about growing chillies for years.
Harvested a tiny amount the other day for dinner (hopefully proving that I’m not talking out of my arse here and that this is genuine advice and that the site is reputable and will solve your problem)
Oh damn, there was a praying mantis but it seems to be gone.
There was a ladybird sitting on the zucchini plant a week or two ago but I didn’t want to move it to the pumpkin plants I had just sprayed (even though organic) and it also hasn’t stuck around.
I bought some dill to help attract ladybirds back and be a sacrificial plant
I am a grandparent to a Bluetooth baby now.
Eeeeeeee! Yuck spoiler that nastiness please 😝
Uncanny valley.
