Blocking can only help (a bit), if you used natural fibers like wool or cotton. I can’t tell from your photo or post if you used acrylic yarn, which will not block.

I echo the advice about a border to make the outside edge more uniform.

Good luck with it! It’s a gorgeous pattern!

I saw an ADHD influencer recommend wearing ear plugs in public to block out environmental noise to keep conversation directed at you still audible.

I get distracted in public when my ears pick up conversation around me - especially people who are fighting or gossiping and I find it very entertaining compared to the discussion I’m in - so this is something I’d like to try the next time I have a dinner out at a busy restaurant with others.

Editing to add: I just listened to about a minute of the femtanyl song you linked and I realized that I also get in the zone productive with some types of music in which I can’t understand the lyrics. I listen to a Pandora station built around Sigur Ros because I can’t understand the language lol

This is funny, but not true. The federal government turns off servers and electronics after business hours in accordance with power-saving measures enacted by President Jimmy Carter.

Carter installed solar panels onto the White House in the late 70s, early 80s. Reagan came in and dismantled them.

Someone remind me if Ken Starr is alive or dead…

Just like a big brother to put his butt in the little brother’s face lol

I liked the episode!

But I was going into it with expectations that it was going to be kind of mid like the first season of Disenchanted. I was very pleasantly surprised that there was like a legitimate plot line, even though it was kind of silly. It seem like the same level of incredulous shenanigans that Futurama has always gotten itself into.

They’re catering to the fact that their core audience is getting older and harder to understand fast-paced speech lolol (said by one of those people who is starting to get old)

What is it about this photo that makes me look at this cat’s face and instantly know it is indeed a bullshitter?

Tagging @ernest in case instance owners don’t have a larger community in which they share news like this with each other.

Hi! I’m a magazine owner on kbin.social and ran into this same problem. I’m not sure if Lemmy and kbin have the same submission forms but I’m willing to try to help.

If you’re open to it, you can direct message me and maybe we can set up a quick screen share on discord or zoom?

Possibly dumb question, but are you u/PoppinKream???

There is a single user who is posting dozens of times a day in my magazine (for which I am a moderator). Another mod on my team has raised the alarm about the user, like surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.

I’m realizing now they might be a bot. The sources of articles are varied, and quality of article is like 30/70 serious/bullshit. The user occasionally comments on the submissions and I’m realizing the comments are generic rabble rousing instead of being complex language or referencing complex details from the articles shared.

Could anyone speak more to how to identify bot accounts? Many thanks!

Oh good. Millennials are due for another world calamity. We’ve had one plague. Why not a second plague?

What you call recruitment, I call conquest.

Trollish Uber MAGAs just aren’t happy with themselves until they’ve gotten a rise out of someone on the Internet.

WHAT!? You’ve been a shiny rock goblin but had never played DND?

Well, welcome lol

Same to all this, except I was really feeling FOMO because my first couple of subscriptions to national and world news was moving content so slowly. I finally started following news communities from Lemmy instances, and I’m finally feeling all those great small reddit community feelies.

One of my good friends uses reddit for sex hookups, and I just can’t see something like that community taking up residence in the Fediverse unless it would be a very isolated instance that recruits only by word of mouth.

How many dice sets do you have now, and how many will you have next month? Lol

Have a problem with it? Take it up with the union, bub.

I’m surprised!!!
