  • Say you have some downtime with no obligations today. What are you going to spend your free time doing?

    Jump

  • I did today. I'm on holiday and it was very hot.

    • Got up really early and did a coast walk before it got too bad - and before too many people were around
    • Full English at a cafe
    • A bit of gaming
    • Posted some stuff to Lemmy
    • Read a few chapters
    • Watched a film

  • Is "AI slop" enough?

    Jump

  • Noetic pollution.

  • What is this insect?

    Jump

  • Ladybird larva, or ladybug larva, depending on where you are.

  • Removed

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    Jump

  • I hate to be that guy, but it should be Physiological needs at the bottom, not psychological.

  • Removed Locked

    Macomb County Woman Faces Up to One Year in Prison After Entering Child’s Bedroom

    Jump

  • That's not the correct sentence.

    The headline, that is. I couldn't comment on the outcome of the court case.

  • what is this box???

    Jump

  • Welfare unit for the contractors working on the street works project. It will have a loo, a break room, a kettle etc etc.

  • any guess what this might be ??

    Jump

  • With just one photo to go from and without knowing what is under that lower arch, it's really going to be a guess.

    Looks 19th or early 20th century, so perhaps something industrial. Maybe a pumphouse of some kind if I had to guess.

  • any guess what this might be ??

    Jump

  • What country? What is the environment around it: woodland? mountainous? Is that some kind of ditch or stream under the lower arch? Are there any other structures nearby?

  • Back then I was living and working on an island nature reserve (great experience, but nothing like as idyllic as that sounds to a lot of people) and my marriage was going through a rough patch.

    Since then I've changed roles, been promoted, moved back to the mainland - moved 3 times in fact - but am now settled and our marriage is going much more smoothly. Retirement is on the horizon.

  • How to react if a person calls you "degenerate"

    Jump

  • I associate this with fascists and right-wingers going back a few generations as being broadly equivalent to 'woke' these days: i.e. anything vaguely progressive that they didn't like.

    So, without additional context, my reaction would be to assume that the person saying this was a fascist - and therefore to treat any further interactions accordingly - and to wear the term with honour.

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump
    • Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
    • The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966)
    • Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)
    • The Third Man (1949)
    • The Ladykillers (1955)
    • The Big Lebowski (1998)
    • Repo Man (1984)
    • Stalker (1979)

    Probably several others, but those are the first to come to mind.

  • Bored with life outside of work, habits, and hobbies... what to do?

    Jump

  • Volunteering: soup kitchen, wildlife conservation, hospital driver, train restoration, old folks home or whatever is going on near you that takes your fancy.

  • What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet?

    Jump

  • I have my driving licence, work ID, a first aid quick reference, postage stamps and one of those Swiss army knife credit card sized things as well as cash and bank cards.

  • Morgan McSweeney quits as PM's chief of staff following Mandelson scandal

    Jump

  • Starmer said he had 'full confidence' in McSweeney a couple of days back. That phrase always used to be the knell of doom. Nice to see that some things remain constant in the current political world.

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • These days just surveying for the national bat and dormouse monitoring programmes, but I have done quite a range of other things in the past including: starting and running a Green Drinks group, pagan prison chaplain for the Pagan Fed, direct action with Greenpeace, local wildlife group committee member, starting and running a toad patrol group, helping at an old folks day centre, running a tea stall and car-parking at a few green festivals, crash and bash conservation work with various groups etc.

  • Tesco sorry for putting up Welsh bilingual signs in Cornwall

    Jump

  • I wonder if Irish/Scottish/Gaelic speakers can pick out anything

    Those are from the Q-celtic branch. Cornish, Breton and Welsh are P-celtic. They are pretty different.

  • Why don't cursive numbers exist?

    Jump

  • I'd imagine that whereas you can guess at confusing cursive letters in words from the others around them, you can't do that with digits.

  • What are some of your earliest memories of school?

    Jump
    • Losing a fight in the sandpit
    • Crying because there were no more trains in the trainset for me to have one. But then being given another whole set to play with
    • Farting extremely loudly in the middle of storytime
    • Miss not being able to tell me what dates Robin Hood lived in
    • Having a lesson on how to use a dictionary - which surprised me, since I already could, and didn't realise that anyone couldn't.
