we’re so back (but i will be making a separate post for my circumstances)
Pretty awful. Work sucks and I had to put my cat down on Friday. She was my best friend. I was okay over the weekend but I am increasingly lonely and heartachey.
Grief comes in waves and you can never predict when one will hit. I lost my cat of 15 years a couple months ago and I still swear I hear his meow sometimes
I lost my kitty last year. Was very close to her as well. I don’t believe in ghosts but I think her ghost visited me in a dream shortly after she died. I’ll miss her forever.
I’m sorry for your loss. it will get easier, but i’m sure it doesn’t feel like that right now
It’s going pretty well, started my new job this week after 3.5 months unemployed!

I’m proud of myself!!
These last two days I’ve been working on my digital wellbeing. Did some filtering on all my email accounts (i have about 7), and deleted 25-30% overall :D
It took a lot of willpower to actually revisit mails dating back to 2013. Fun trip to the past.
My roomie wants to try living alone and our lease ends in a couple months. I’m really tired of paying my landlord’s mortgage so I’m considering buying a decent looking prefab for 120k. I’m 28 and haven’t even bought a car much less a house. But I can’t stand renting and burning another 70k. It’s ridiculous.
Okay. Going on month two of a new job at a startup that is building a fusion power plant. Moved out from mother’s house in June. Started painting landscapes. Finally reaching the end of TOTK, just in time to start Sea of Stars (sidenote, gaming in 2023 has been FIRE)
huh? i thought humanity as a whole had only achieved net-positive fusion two times total, with the second time being only a few weeks ago. How is your startup creating a plant out of this technology already?
From someone else with an avid fascination with all things nuclear science; the only thing I can think of is “pregaming” infrastructure for when the technology gets to where it needs to be. The core concepts of fusion, how to harvest its energy, how to initiate it, and the risks involved are all understood at a foundational level, but the recent net gain achievements is likened to the Wright Brothers’ first flight when the goal is to get to the moon. We proved its possible to get off the ground, which is no small feat, but we are a ways off from our goal.

Got an interview for a potential promotion at the company I work for. Pretty stoked.

Welcome! Keep on buzzin, we love new beeple 🐝
welcome! glad to have you here with us, i hope you enjoy your stay :)
A little stressed about work and money and trying to not panic about climate change. Overall just exhausted, fending off depression as best as I can, looking for new ways to keep myself motivated and excited about life. I’m going to experiment with new recipes this weekend.
I love your expression “feeling off depression” — I feel you! I hope you get better!
Lol that was a typo! I meant “fending off depression”, thank you. I hope you’re feeling better as well!
Good, been messing around with writing a N64 style renderer with gfx in Rust. Tho I’m probably leaving Beehaw, there seems to be TERFs in here.
Are you sure they were from Beehaw and not some other Lemmy/Kbin instance? Have you hit the report button? On a sidenote, I haven’t spotted them yet.
Report it to the moderators, they will shut those shits down. Beehaw is one of the more accepting communities I’ve come across especially with the mods - as someone else mentioned it could be other instances creeping in as well.
Few things are as fun as coding on a personal passion project.
I had a roof leak about 5 years ago that cause a lot of damage in one of the bedrooms. I fixed the leak but it took a long time to save up to fix the room. Last month I finally had enough money to get it fixed.
On Sunday, tropical storm Hilary caused several roof leaks including over the same bedroom. The ceiling, wall and carpet that I just replaced is destroyed along with a good chunk of ceiling in the garage. I can tear out the drywall in the garage and leave it, but idk how I’m going to afford to fix the roof and the bedroom.
So my week started out with a lot of frustration.
ugh DUDE that is the WORST
Ready to kill myself.
I’m tired of struggling everyday for shit that doesn’t seem to matter in a world that is on fire with people who hate me.
It is of great comfort to me to remember that most people are completely indifferent to me.
But for my part I hope you find some light in your life
I, for one, am eager to read of your comeback. I’m hopeful for you.

Last week is hellish for my mental health (depressed for entire week for no reason it seems.) but this week is pretty good! I get thing done, I feel better and enjoying my day so far! I hope you all have a good week or at least thing will get better soon!
i hate sudden random depression. try taking walks outside if you can and you haven’t been doing that already! my old therapist used to recommend that all the time and i scoffed at it, but i’ve been going for walks every day this summer and I have been shocked by how low my depression and anxiety have been these past few months. Intrusive thoughts hate this one weird trick!
Oh yeah! Not going to lie, but I completely forget about this entire last week. What time do you like to go for a walk, if you don’t mind me asking? In the morning or before sunset :o ?
I’m working on a flyer for the open days of the place I work at. The hardest part is realizing that I’m a perfectionista and have to stop myself. I mean at this point I have files in writer, blender, Krita, Inkscape, and even unity. It’s kinda absurd really, just for a tiny square one sided flyer.
Anyone else struggling with this blessingcurse?
If it looks good, it looks good!
lol i’ve been there, but i haven’t gone quite that far in my obsession. That said, i haven’t designed a flier that will be viewed by that many people, so maybe it’s the added pressure.
What kinda stuff do you make?
Fortunately I don’t have stage fright. I’m also a perfectionist with purely private things.
Good, been trying to understand assembly (I am failing miserably). It’s been awesome!
This is an amazing attitude; thank you for sharing your joy with us.
