The country next to mine keeps threatening to invade.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's traditionally a third world problem.

If it's any consolation, the last time they invaded, we burned down their White House. We could do it again, if necessary :)

You really do have my sympathy

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry we have become the burden the world has to deal with right now.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Keeping ducks out of my pool.

Also there's a certain fork my partner hates using but refuses to get rid of.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love ducks so I'd be no use to you. I'd be encouraging them to come back more

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

They shit so much, otherwise I'd be fine with them.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ahhhhh good point...

Our Senior sysadmin is on vacation, and on Wednesday, our licenses for both our email filtering system and our firewall run out.
I was tasked with getting the replacement systems set up, but due to miscommunication and other issues, I didn't have enough time for a proper test run.
So we're going to flip the switch and hope we are still able to log in and receive mail afterwards.
Cause if we aren't, we're forced to pay 30k € for a license renewal after already purchasing the replacements.

This has lead to a resurgence of my ADHD symptoms, and I wasn't able to wind down all weekend.
I've been having a constant fight-or-flight reflex for the past 3 days, but there's nothing to fight or flee from.

That's stressful mate... I have anxiety so I can relate to what it's like to have your body think you're being chased by a bear. Reach out to us of you need to vent

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes please reach out, someone's stupidity is always falling on people who couldn't have prevented it and has to fix it

Instead of treating my intense joint pain, I just got prescribed an app with streching exercises. Thanks for nothing.

[–] peaches@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What do you suspect could be the problem? How are your stress levels? How is your microbiome? Do you sleep well? Do you eat well?

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Injury Related, Bad, Bad, No, No.

I have so many games but can't decide what to play so I am instead not playing anything and just scrolling Lemmy. 😮‍💨

My father has gone against my grandparents wishes and isn't sharing the inheritance with his children.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh gawd. Is he a good dad in general?

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not surprised but I'm sorry

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It was the nail in the coffin of our relationship. I've stopped answering his calls and am just done with him. So in a way its a blessing.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago

I get that totally some people are toxic

I have to go to the other bunnings 15 mins away as opposed to the one 5 mins away to pick up some panels for shelving

First world country becoming a third world country. USA.

Have to wait a few days after shaving before I can safely wax my legs. Really hate the feeling of the little hair follicles rubbing against my pants before I rip them out.

Battling a gaming addiction and accompanying sleep deprivation.

Have you tried this website called Lemmy? It's pretty good

[–] feddup@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I can't build more Lego sets because I've run out of space to put them when they're done. Waiting on getting more shelving.
