Hello I think this is funny because I think I understand more or less what this is implying (atoms and electrons? And because it's missing one electron etc.)? I think?

But would love if someone explained it for those that are way less smart than me who wouldn't get the joke, unlike me.

It's less stigmatized for sure, but in terms of caring about future employers it's still something people wouldn't want them to know. But not everyone is worried about how all their actions would look to future employers, and some career paths it really wouldn't matter.

Only post 2018

But from the comment finding her peertube/twitch, it seems to corroborate her being in Canada so that would matter more IMO than whether or not there's a bong in the photo.

Me too, except it's Lemmy so I actually get to (kind of have to) be the investigative journalist this time

Seems to be. Actually, what I thought was the old packaging seems to still be sold there too. By setting my location to Toronto on Uber eats and searching for it I found it at a local convenience store.

What?? I saw theories about this but no proof. Do you have the post talking about this?

This isn't real is it? Or is it an old photo? Cause hair can't just go from being dyed to undyed that fast

So based on the orange juice box it's at the very least post 2003, but I believe it's newer. I couldn't find a reliable source on when or if this rebrand happened, but I think it's the newer packaging of the juice box (look here for the newer one vs here for what I think is an old one literally just based off vibes and the fact that it showed up when I added 2013 to the search terms). You can see the difference in the way the point at the bottom of the Nicole picture is in the center of the front of the box.

I got my 2003 claim by looking at the logo and comparing it to this image listing the del monte logo rebrands. The box in the Nicole image and the newer Del Monte orange juice box has the shadow on the lettering not found pre-2003. They're both using the 2003 to present one.

So basically I determined nothing of value.

Edit: what I thought was the old packaging appears to still be sold, at least in Toronto. I haven't yet found a store in Toronto selling the packaging in the picture.

This is amazing and inspirational. You do great work. As someone who has been hospitalized for mental health issues more than once, I've witnessed first hand the incredible impact (positive and negative) people in your line of work directly have on the lives of others. Thank you for being a reason that others can go on to be an astronaut.

Absolutely that's helpful. I'm working on another project, but apparently my friend's mother would absolutely wear this shawl if I made it so I suppose it's remaining in limbo until I feel like picking it up again!

Though I will keep in mind that this method helped me gain the courage to frog it all in case I need to do it again for another project. I just happened to get the call to keep it right before I went for it!

It's a genuinely incredibly well written pattern, I'd never knit anything really substantial or interesting before this and I was able to do so relatively pai lessly. It's also great because it strikes that balance between repetitive enough that it's not too taxing but changing it up enough I don't get bored over the thousands of stitches.

Thanks for your kind words 😊

This is my progress on the Pierre Shawl (ravelry link). I'm posting this to say goodbye to it and gain the strength to unravel the many many hours of work it took me to get here. I got all the way to section 8 of 10 on this, and it is by far the largest and most involved piece I've ever attempted to knit.

I started this knit around 3 or 4 years ago as a gift for my (now ex) mother-in-law. After a couple weeks' worth of hard work, I had to put it on hold and never really picked it back up, mainly due to my dissatisfaction with the colors I picked not making as smooth a gradient as I wanted. Now that I no longer have ties to the person I originally knit it for, and because I neither wear shawls nor things in these colors, it is a bit useless to keep the project indefinitely on hold.

The yarn is some of the nicest in my collection (Berocco DK vintage) and these are also the only pair of circulars I own at the moment. I know it makes more sense to bite the bullet and unravel it all so I can make use of the materials elsewhere, but I'm struggling to do so because I'm so proud of what I created and know I'll never see it finished. So I figured I'd share it here! I'm particularly proud of how even my stitches are, especially at the end of the project!

This project taught me a lot about what I'm able to learn and do as a knitter and I'm looking forward to taking the skills I learned from this project to make new things now that I've picked up knitting again (I tend to go on long hiatuses from my fiber arts hobbies and I'm back on a crocheting and knitting kick).

Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes (sh.itjust.works)
 

I just started interning and it's my first office job (Yay!) but most of the clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially shoes. I have no "appropriate" shoes because shoes have always been a particular source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus.

Do you guys have any advice on how to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe solid clean white sneakers? For reference I'm female.

just saying hi as a recent divorcee due to being childfree (sh.itjust.works)
 

TL;DR at the bottom.

I (24f) am going through the legal elements of a divorce but have been separated for a few months now. I loved my ex husband, but before marrying I made it clear I didn't want kids and didn't want him to wait or hope for me to change my mind. He agreed and told me he would be happy with me even if I never wanted kids.

Just under a year ago he sat me down and told me he had been realizing more and more that he changed his mind and thinks he does want kids. I asked how long this had been happening, he said about a year. I already knew where this was headed, but thought I owed it to us to at least try. Months of therapy and thinking and talking and waiting for him to come to the same conclusion I had brought up to him and accepted pretty early on and we finally decided mutually that we would have to divorce. I didn't want him to stay with me and risk having any resentment towards me and feel unfulfilled, and I dont want kids. I don't know if I'll want them in the future, I don't think I will, but he wanted them ASAP so it was irrelevant anyways.

At least the separation/divorce has been amicable, but it was (and sometimes still is) incredible difficult emotionally. I'm grateful that his family didn't guilt me when they learned of the reason for the divorce, though the reason he gave for me being childfree was medical reasons which is only kind of true. Still, at least I didn't get any flak for it from anybody.

The guy I'm talking to now is vehemently childfree and it's great being able to freely make faces about or feel annoyed by children, not want to go to baby showers or baby birthday parties, and all other things that I used to feel alone in with my ex husband (and made me wonder for a while if he was truly childfree like me). Not to say you have to dislike children to be childfree, but I would often get a weird look about my attitude and discomfort around children.

I was never active on the subreddit but I'm making more of an effort to be active in the communities on Lemmy, so I guess hi everyone! How are you? Anybody here with a similar story?

TL;DR My husband changed his mind and I didn't so now I'm a 24 year old divorcée introducing myself and my story being childfree :)
