  • At 7 years of age I was collecting the grass coming out of my neighbours lawnmower. I was tossing it in the air at my dog who was having great fun jumping into the air catching it.

    Cue my neighbour running over my foot with his lawnmower. I didn’t feel much pain as it shredded straight through my runner and skin.

    I was rushed to hospital and somehow they saved my toe. It took about five years for me to regain feeling in it.

    Edit: oh I missed the word “work”.


  • A few for me:

    • Death of my father.
    • Getting married. Hitting 20 years in August. Hopefully many more to come.
    • Realising I didn’t enjoy the business course I was on in college, burning the two years already spent and moving to computer science which I loved every minute of.
    • Having kids. They bring me so much joy.
    • Leaving a well paid job that I didn’t really enjoy and starting my own business.
    • Travel. It’s so important to experience different cultures and viewpoints.
    • edit: Finding a sport that I loved. I wasn’t a sporty kid but decided to start trying different things in my 20s.













  • you are querying a crowd on Lemmy that is going to be biased towards programmer / engineer types that tend to function well in their world due to compulsive features often considered pathologic by others.

    I feel personally attacked. :D

    Edit: also to answer the question. Yes I absolutely arrange things on the checkout belt.

    I group these items: Liquids. Fridge. Cans and bottles. Fruit and veg, heavier ones first so the potatoes don’t crush the berries. Frozen gear near fridge gear. Chemicals / cleaning gear separate.

    I should add that I’m buying for a lot of people so the shopping trips tend to be large and there would be a full bag of most of those groupings.

    Calling the PRESIDENT OF CHINA

    I think you mean the dictator in charge of the dictatorship that is China.

    the PRC is a socialist nation

    Ha! It absolutely is not. It once was. Now there are far more socialist leaning countries in Europe.

    I would bet money you’ve never stepped foot in the place and if you have you’ve never gotten to know a Chinese person well enough to learn the truth about the “socialist paradise” you’ve imagined up in your mind.

    one side is fighting to stop imperal expantion on its boarder (Russia) and the other is mostly Nazis who are doing a genocide (Ukraine)

    Are you talking about the dictator run, expansionist, imperialist invading side that did this in Chechnya and has committed a raft of well documented war crimes?

    You really love those dictatorships. Go on off with your mad rantings.
