Life is very complicated and that can make us sad.

What have you done, which has successfully simplified your life and made it better?

Hey there, today is a bumpy road in the pain-o-meter. And I wanted to reach out to other grumpy pain folk, and get some tlc for my soul. But I couldn't figure out if there even is some kind of support forum on here. So I figured I would ask, and you guys would give me the 411.

Inspired by this.

I've been trying to remember a song for months now. It had a really well made animated video, probably sort of in the style of Cuphead. I seem to recall a cartoon wolf in it. The theme of the song was about this unspecified thing that was "gonna to make you go boom!" and stuff like that.

The video was the really memorable part, the song itself not so much, which makes it all the harder to google for. I think it was French.

"It's gonna make you... do x y z"... sorry I don't have much more.

Looking for a poker app on android preferably Foss. Just wanna get the hang of the rules before I play it. Appreciate any suggestions, thank you

I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.

I know this is a weird question. But I'm just wondering. Please don't kill me.

I do body weight exercises. And finding it harder to do exercises that want me to lay down on my front side. ^Because,^ ^my^ ^____^ ^is^ ^squishing^.^😮‍💨^

Also, there is a stupid stigma that exercise makes women more masculine. But are there any workouts that make a man look feminine? Like, it would be bit weird to see a BLL sized butt on a man, right?

This question came to my mind when I saw a workout plan in my app. The plans' name is "Bikini Body". I was like, "I should probably stay away from this. But what happens if I did it anyway?"

I'm now a pro magic the gathering player! Never thought I'd ascend to such heights, I'm terrible at magic lol

I'm not a true believer in crypto, but I used to play around with it. I have received a 5-figure USD sum of bitcoin from the MtGox settlement, and I'm considering my options. It is a true windfall. It was worth maybe $100-200 when I used to play daytrader and shop silk road with it.

We are on track for early retirement as it is, but my "smart money" intuition says pay the long-term capital gains and invest in funds, how we do everything else. More money earlier is always good.

My gambler side says to withdraw some maybe, but split the rest into a half dozen likely candidates for someday real world crypto use which may take off. I don't stay up to date on them anymore, so this would take some real research.

The weird Trumpy stuff going on with BTC makes me think it couldn't hurt to hold through the election in case prepper types panic buy it lol.

My wife says it's unexpected so just leave it as a high-risk part of our whole portfolio, but I worry she underestimates the risk and scamminess of it all.

Update: I sold the account down to 0.1 BTC today. I may sell more later on. Thanks everyone for your input.

Long story short I need to heat my home with electric heaters this year, minisplits and hvac are way out of my budget. I’d like some help picking a solution.

Choice A: Micro heat pumps

Choice B: Multiple PTC Fast Heating Ceramic Heater

Been coming up short on solutions so if you have a third option I'd be glad to hear it.

i foud out about this place a few days ago.. upon arriving i saw some misinformation spreading around. I called dit out and the response has been bullying name calling and being told to leave he site. is this what lemmy is?

Just wanna check before I go..

I haven't watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There's SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I'm open to anything, as long as it's well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I'm scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

Not looking for things that are only trial or pro purpose, I use chrome remote desktop but I imagine there's better options?

Assuming the title to be accurate, what is a good way for the working class (90%+ of all humans) to save and succeed in this current environment?

CCL is promoting the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, but it looks to me mostly like a giveaway to the fossil fuel lobby.

• It gives a 150-day statute of limitations for legal challenges to energy projects
• It gives a quota for annual oil and gas lease sales through 2029
• It undoes the LNG export pause, and sets a 90-day deadline for approving or denying future export applications, basically preventing future pauses after the fact like the LNG pause

It includes some permitting streamlining for green energy projects, but it's not clear to me how big a deal that was in the first place, and most of its material support seems aimed at the fossil fuel industry.

Did I miss something, or is all the green nature of this bill mostly a Manchin invention?

This is a deep meta question; not the response you give others. When you ask yourself, "how do I feel," is that answer you synthesize, the answer you draw from the edge of your conscious and unconscious self; is this answer a reference to the immediately preceding past of your inner experience, or is the answer from some self aware inner entity that exists in the ever changing experience of right now?

My wife and I have been using Cozi for years to manage our work schedules, plan dates, block off personal time, and manage grocery lists and to-do lists. There has been some pretty egregious enshittification through locking more and more essential features behind a paywall and now it's altering times for some reason and straight up losing list items and calendar entries. I'm done. Its only function was to maintain calendar items and lists so I wouldn't need to manually remember everything; it's worthless if I can't trust it to remember for me.

So now we're looking for a replacement tool to manage our family. FOSS preferred, but not required. I'm even open to using two separate apps for it, one for calendar and another for lists. We just need them to live online so we can independently add to it while the other person is asleep or at work.

I'm hoping that somebody else has already done the legwork to find the best option?

Who would run the US empire until the new President is elected and sworn in?

Bonus question: what email inbox client do you use?

As far as I can tell, the only platform that I found with medium level of reliability is metacritic.

I tried Letterboxd, Serializd, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, all of them tend to be very unreliable.

Is there is any other platform that has reliable ratings/reviews?

Has it grown like people have kept predicting? or is this peak lemmy? Did Peak Lemmy already happen?

What impact would this have on the rebellion, and how would Snow mess with Katniss and Peeta?

What is an immediate turn on when you first meet someone?

I started seeing more people in the creative industries striking to get a protection against AI.

As a company won't that mean that I should invest more in AI to not suffer through strikes?
