Lol that's really funny...I actually hate yoga too, but it doesn't provoke rage, just annoyance because the last thing I wanna do is listen to some white lady done on about chakras! But for it to provoke anger in inmates is disturbing.

Is there a known material* that lightsabers don't cut? Serious question.

*Beyond that time ~~Kylo~~ Emo Ren had a hissy and attacked a console, that thing should've been way more damaged.

Ha, I've never heard hunt and peck called "chicken typing" before, I kinda like it!

I learned to type in junior high on a Wang (with the black and spinach-green screen), and our typing teacher would tape a piece of paper to the top of the keyboard. Our fingers went under the paper so that we couldn't see what keys we were touching. It made you learn quickly to find your home row keys, and after that learning to type was pretty fun and painless.

Do kids not get a typing class anymore?

ETA: before my typing class I 'taught' myself on a Selectric at my mom's office - man did I have to unlearn some bad habits!

Oh man I tried meditation with Headspace too and I couldn't hack it. For some reason meditation made me so angry! Like this weird rage would come out of nowhere.

I did find it frustrating that the narrator would give a prompt for what to do, then just enough quiet time to begin, and then interrupt my effort with his talking. Aggravating! But the anger was a separate thing.

I always thought meditation was supposed to help you feel calm and grounded but all it did was frustrate me. :(

Same here. I'm in my early forties and retired. Small house, no kids, and we don't carry debt beyond our mortgage, which will be paid off in 3 months. Not a fancy or flashy lifestyle by any means. It's possible, it just takes sacrifice and living well below your means during your earning years.

Remodeling my bathroom, getting my hip fixed so I can go back to not skipping leg day, and possibly a trip to the Tetons.

We're pretty distant. I'm older but only by 17 months. I love my sister and wish her well but I don't trust her enough to be close with her. Our mother really did a number on us and I have to be very careful what I tell her, because I don't have any faith she won't share it with our mom. And it's a shame because if we could talk honestly I think we'd have a lot to commiserate on. As it stands we trade texts very occasionally, mostly focused on nostalgia for some TV show or game we played as kids. Never anything more personal than that. It's usually months between texts.

Her dog died and I wanted to send a sympathy text, but my mother asked me not to because she wasn't supposed to tell anyone the dog died... well then why on earth did you tell me?!?!

We are two women in our forties still goosestepping around a difficult mom who I strongly suspect is borderline, and because of the way she treated us growing up, our sibling relationship basically became collateral damage.

 

When I click on links like the one circled below, nothing happens at all.

 

~~There are some instances which I'd like to block entirely. I think this is on the Lemmy development roadmap, but until it's implemented, can we pretty please have the ability to do this through Jerboa? I'm still browsing all communities as a way of finding new communities to subscribe to, but there are some instances whose content I never want to see and they clutter up my feed. Blocking each individual community from these instances is a pain; there should be a better solution available.~~

~~Thanks for your consideration!~~

Sorry guys I had a massive brain fart, I already posted a request about this a week ago. For some reason I can't delete this post so please ignore!

 

Trying to expand comments (e.g., 3 additional responses in the pic below) is causing the app to crash.

 

I'd love to be able to block an entire instance. Can this please be added to Jerboa?

 

I'm seeing an error intermittently while scrolling through my feed - see red circle above. I'm not sure how to make a bug report but wanted to let someone know.

 

When I try to view images linked (e.g., from the meme community), Jeroba just reloads the main feed. Anyone else experience this, and is there a solution?
