This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.
@Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:
When I look back at pictures of my kids when they were newborn, they look like little rats. Still were genuinely cute at the time. They just don’t photograph well.
I’ll still play with this when I go to pick up my kid from nursery.
We are the breakers of the wind.
You’re in the picture. You are seen.
It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.
I came to say, the top pic is pretty metal too.
This is not a question for Lemmy.
Could be anything from dry eyes to glaucoma. Get it checked.
I’ve started using email filter rules. Put emails from the key people I work with into an urgent folder. Auto-delete automated reports and updates. Everything else can wait…or get deleted. If an email hasn’t been replied to for 2 weeks and the world is carrying on then it couldn’t have been that important. If it was important then people tend to phone about it.
The problem is that everything gets mixed into a single mass…petty squabbles, automated newsletters, “CC you for info”, etc are mixed in with emails that say “immediate response required for new serious litigation disaster”.
I dreaded opening my work email and was struggling for ages to get on top of my backlog of hundreds emails.
Now I’ve realised that as long as I’m doing my core tasks, I can ignore and delete most emails with no consequence. Life is better now.
Is that why I can’t seem to find it on my laptop? Skill issue?
As amusing as this story is, I’d like to point out for those not from UK: the Daily Mail is worth less than used toilet paper and it is likely that this story is distorted and exaggerated to the point of fiction. This rag thrives on their outrageous stories being circulated like this on social media.
I really hate that I can’t get a lie in on the weekend. Kids wake up and my brain wakes up. I’ll have to start going to bed earlier…which I hate. I want to stay up and play video games and wake up late. But I guess I’m becoming an old man and need to embrace the old man life.
My body has started doing this and I hate it.
It’s going to be served by a white faced clown holding a red balloon.
Your parenting mojo
But anything that helps you understand your brain and personal issues better will also help with parenting. So also try:

People online tend to recommend therapy to everyone,and I’m sure therapy is great if you can access it. But you can read, listen, watch, learn and improve through self reflection…and heal wounds you never knew about.
The thing I’m really missing is finding a good dad group or parent group to join. I would love some peer support.
I’m good with my parents. They have their normal human flaws, which I accept happily.
Are you a parent yourself? It’s really difficult. You can’t help but bring a lot of baggage. There’s a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called “taming your triggers”. Having children exposes a lot of wounds and personal baggage. It’s really difficult to recognise and address those on yourself as a parent. Your description of expectations from a parent are so idealised, I would argue that there are very few individuals in the world who are actually successful in being that good and selfless.
This is interesting if you’ve got an hour to watch a philosophy video(link goes directly to 53min if you just want to watch a few minutes).
Don’t let Lemmy mislead you into thinking Linux is a drop-in replacement or easy to switch to. It’s a difficult process that takes learning, but hopefully you’ll find it worthwhile. Good luck with your troubleshooting.
