My mental health got into a weird superposition of "better" and "worse" so my brain reshuffled all of my interests and hobbies and the grillpill ones came out on top. But after the last ~~decade~~ week it felt like time to come home to the most powerful posters.

Noticed we've got PvP enabled now sicko-yes

Anything else interesting happen recentlyish? Any good struggle sessions?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

I had my gallbladder removed and posted through my recovery because I had an excuse to be on here 24/7 while zooted up of my gourd

Of course, this also means there was a two week gap in my memory, but what are you gonna do? shrug-outta-hecks

UlyssesT left to move to the countryside as cover for killing Henry Kissinger

My cat started drinking water on his own so I can finally feed him dry food now.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

that's great! wish my cat would drink water on her own, she only likes drinking from faucets meow-tableflip

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it was crazy, after years of having to trick him into drinking water by mixing it in with his wet food, I caught him licking water off the shower floor and and decided to try putting a bowl out again, and just like that he was fine.

Also, FWIW they sell little cat water fountains that look like dribbling faucets, maybe your girl would like one of those?

little cat water fountains that look like dribbling faucets

big fan of these, my cat always was okay about drinking water but made an unholy mess of it by splashing in the bowl with his paws when it was just a bowl.

I started a mini struggle session on whether "lumpen" is a valid or useful term.

We're still infested with owls.

federating makes this a player-vs-player server

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

we're all russo-chinese soros bots so it's technically PvE and we're the E

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Still winning tho

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

99% of other instances have either blocked us or we blocked them, so there's not much "PvP" anymore. The majority of that happened during the beginning of federation being enabled

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

It was really good for like the first 2 months after federating though.

Federation with the other Lemmy instances that didn't automatically block Hexbear because they were terrified of the power posters.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

I joined about 8 months ago and shortly after that @[email protected] went on haitus so overall it's probably worse here than you left.

Hi crime welcome back! How was the grilling?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago
