Sorry it’s not a useful suggestion. I don’t want it to sound like I do this at the same time or without absolute meltdowns and disappearing for months at a time either tho, lol.

The handy thing about group activity friends is you don’t have to put in consistent effort, you just see them when you see them! 👉👉

I like to volunteer. That way there is a built-in thing to talk about, and it’s generally okay to not veer off that too much? Pick something you are interested in 😊

There are so many different ways you can volunteer and many different activities. I’ve done things as diverse as the water stations at triathlons (standing and handing things out) to being on the board of a not-for-profit (lots of meetings), to serving meals with fnb (cooking and cleaning).

I also take classes, such as in a pottery studio.

All these are opportunities to meet people and be social but with no pressure. You know you have at least one thing in common! If you find someone you vibe with them you can become closer friends but if not you still make task-specific acquaintances.

Rice (rice cooker or microwaved from the fridge) + frozen vegetables + hummus/canned beans/edamame + fridge sauce such as chilli crisp, soy sauce, sambal oelek, etc.

Hummus + crackers

Big ol bowl of lettuce, store bought dressing, a fuck tonne of nuts.

Very much agree with this. Why does such a community exist? To talk shit instead of choosing to ignore others or working on addressing the conflict if you feel you can’t let go.

Communities like this drive harassment because when there is a popular post against someone, some people assume it must be accurate or valid and pile on. It’s incredibly unwelcoming.

There is a difference between “gotcha, I am very smart” and “this is harmful content/a person that harms the community - be wary”.

Edit: LMAO exactly this kind of shit: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/50173159

People are still talking about vtc for whatever reason, it makes sense Hamid’s going to hear about it (people have community outside of lemmy??? Weird right?). I’d probably try and rile them up too. It’s really wild.

I’m medicated.

Such a good idea because you can reference it in the future if you are panicking because you can’t remember if you ever had an oil change???

I’m also grateful for the window sticker because it shames me every time I get in the driver’s seat.

Lists don’t really work for me - I guess I just have a series of systems.

Lost things - gone forever but I’ve got like 5 of everything, or it’s so important it lives is the same place all the time (keys, phone, wallet)

Tasks - Sometimes I’ll write something I need to remember to do at work before I leave on a post-it note, because I am almost certain to forget any task that I don’t do the minute I remember I have to…I only started making work plans once I started supervising and needed to be able to delegate work. I mostly get through on vibes with work tasks.

Devices to charge - everything is charging all the time, and I’ve got extra cables all over.

Shopping - you can buy the same thing every week if you eat the same thing every day 👉👉 If I want to make something special, I’ll make a list and hopefully remember it. But maybe it’ll get made next week…

Appointments - In my calendar, but regular appointments are regular on purpose.

Birthdays - yeah they are in my calendar and set to repeat.

List can help some people, I’m sure but they also require execution function to create and I don’t got much of that.
