Beard guide from The Daily Mirror, UK, 1909. ⁣
  • You have opened my eyes. I just shaved off my eyebrows and plucked out my eyelashes.

  • 📄 rule
  • I do this all the time. I print two pages on one A4 sheet (or rather four, two on each side) and then fold them so they are like a leaflet.

    That's the main advantage of the system – you don't have to design things differently depending on how big you want to print them. You can scale the same design to an A6 flyer or an A2 Poster.

  • I mean, the fact that most animals don't understand long distance running is what made humans apex predators. So joke's on you, animals!

  • What's the most notable difference between you and the other people in your neighborhood?
  • They do things the way they want while I'm doing them the way I want. Which is clearly the superior way (though they disagree).

    You shouldn't listen when people tell you what they look for in a partner. It's mostly survivorship bias.
  • They also stopped dating them at some point apparently, so I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It's not like the early stages of dating usually involve mowing the lawn or cleaning the house together so that's something you only find out after having already found plenty of other things to like about this person.

  • What do you do to cheer yourself up ?
  • Self-care always makes me feel better. I prepare something nice to drink–tea, wine, beer, depending on my mood—and a tasty snack, then put on one of my favourite audiobooks or TV shows and treat myself to a hot bath or foot bath with a relaxing bath essence.

  • What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?
  • I'm pretty sure my washing machine is the thing that saves me most time. Washing by hand is fucking hard work and very time consuming. I would neither have the time nor the physical endurance to keep all my clothes and household items in a state acceptable to society.

Die sollten dringend mal so Punkte aufkleben, um den Menschenschlag etwas zu reduzieren.

    Vor kurzem hab ich zum Vergleich Google Maps befragt und das wollte mich eine zweispurige Straßenrampe ohne Fußweg hochschicken und dann sollte ich so in der Mitte davon in mein Ziel, das daneben liegende GebĂ€ude springen. So ca. auf Höhe des 1,5. Stocks.

  • What's the best advice you've ever received?
  • You're doing neither yourself nor anyone else a favour by being overly shy and reticent. You yourself will enjoy life much more when you are yourself and while not everyone will like you, the ones who don't often don't stay in your life long and it's easier to find people you vibe with if they can see you for who you are.

    Granted, I very much did not take this advice as a teenager and even now I'm occasionally too shy. But looking back it was good advice and I really wish I hadn't wasted so much time and energy on not being negatively noticed by people I didn't really care about then and who haven't been in my life for years.

  • Wo kann man englische eBooks ausleihen?

    Wenn meine Sprachkenntnisse und meine aktuelle KonzentrationsfĂ€higkeit es zulassen, konsumiere ich Medien eigentlich am liebsten in Originalsprache. Vor allem BĂŒcher von englischsprachigen Autor:innen lese ich eigentlich gerne auf Englisch. Bisher hab ich sie mir dann meistens gekauft. Bei deutschen BĂŒchern bin ich mittlerweile fast komplett zum Ausleihen, meistens in EBook-Form, ĂŒbergegangen und wĂŒrde das fĂŒr Englisch auch gerne tun. Das Angebot an englischsprachigen BĂŒchern und EBooks ist in meiner Bibliothek und auch bei anderen, bei denen ich geschaut hab, allerdings eher... dĂŒrftig. Hat jemand einen Tipp?

    "Wir sollten uns nicht in Transferleistungen ĂŒberbieten"
    www.tagesschau.de Merz kritisiert Sozialreformen: "Nicht in Transferleistungen ĂŒberbieten"

    Weitere Sozialreformen werde es mit ihr nicht geben, betont die FDP. Die Regierungspartei argumentiert dabei Ă€hnlich wie die oppositionelle CDU. Deren Chef Merz warnte vor einem Überbietungswettbewerb bei Transferleistungen.

    What are your favourite characterisation quotes?

    Among the many things I love about the Discworld novels are the descriptions of people. Terry Pratchett often manages with a few sentences to paint a picture that is often a bit funny, sometimes slightly weird but always hits the nail right on the head.

     

    As an example, these descriptions of the witches in Lords and Ladies:

    >"The first one - let us call her the leader - flies sitting bolt upright, in defiance of air resistance, and seems to be winning. She has features that would generally be described as striking, or even handsome, but she couldn't be called beautiful, at least by anyone who didn't want their nose to grow by three feet."

    >"The second is dumpy and bandy-legged with a face like an apple that's been left for too long and an expression of near-terminal good nature. She is playing a banjo and, until a better word comes to mind, singing. It is a song about a hedgehog."

    >"The third, and definitely the last, broomstick rider is also the youngest. Unlike the other two, who dress like ravens, she wears bright, cheerful clothes which don't suit her now and probably didn't even suit her ten years ago. She travels with an air of vague good-natured hopefulness. There are flowers in her hair but they're wilting slightly, just like her."

     

    I also found this one in my collection of quotes, but I can't find out where it is from. Does anyone know? I think it might be my favourite.

    >"Many people could say things in a cutting way, Nanny knew. But Granny Weatherwax could listen in a cutting way. She could make something sound stupid just by hearing it."

     

    Do you have more examples?

    Folgt ihr den Verhaltensempfehlungen bei Gewittern?

    Da ja gerade Gewittersaison ist, liest man öfter wieder die Empfehlung, dass man – sofern man nicht in einem Auto oder GebĂ€ude Schutz suchen kann – eine möglichst tief gelegene, freie FlĂ€che aufsuchen soll, in die Hocke gehen, die FĂŒĂŸe eng nebeneinander stellen und die Arme um die Knie legen soll. In der RealitĂ€t habe ich das aber noch nie jemanden machen sehen. Abstand von BĂ€umen halten die meisten noch, aber darĂŒber hinaus ĂŒberwiegt "wird schon nicht ausgerechnet hier einschlagen". Ich schließe mich da selbst mit ein. Seid ihr da weniger nachlĂ€ssig und haltet auch an die Empfehlungen?

    [Bug Report] Default feed settings override selection in Everything feed

    I have selected Subscribed as the default in my General settings:

    !

    When switching from my instance (feddit.de) to the Everything feed, I end up in Subscribed no matter which option I choose in the menu shown below. This is expected behaviour if I select Subscribed but not for Local or All. With pictures:

    Choosing one of these

    !

    Also leads to this result

    !

    I used Subscribed as an example, but the same thing happens with Local or All as default, then Local or All will be shown respectively.

    The weird thing is, it only happens switching from my instance, not if I was in one of the lemmy.world feeds or already in Everything (so selecting the intended option again a second time works, but I guess that's not how it's meant to work).

    [Bug Report] Can't delete display name

    I just tried to delete my display name in the account settings and it didn't work. I deleted the name in the box and pressed the save button at the bottom. Then I returned to my profile and the display name was still there. Refreshing and reopening the app didn't change that. Returning to the account settings, the display name was back in the box. I tried several times with the same results. Changing the name does work, but removing it doesn't. I thought at first it might just not be possible in Lemmy, but I successfully removed it in Jerboa.
