Just got out of the hot tub, feeling pretty good about everything right now.

[–] victorz 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You share that with a lady or other partner?

[–] jordanlund 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My wife would LOVE It, unfortunately since we got it set up, she's been fighting a wounded foot and can't get it wet. :(

Maybe 4 more weeks?

[–] victorz 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, that's a shame. Hoping for a speedy recovery for both of your sake!

[–] jordanlund 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, we both have physical stuff going on, hence the hot tub. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

what about going in the hot tub with the injured foot stuck out?

[–] jordanlund 2 points 6 months ago

That would be super hard. The lounger seat might work, but the other seats are too deep to allow for that.

Hitting on a Lemmy power mod, smooth move

[–] jordanlund 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

LOL - "Power Mod". Do 2 big groups and some tiny ones that are barely surviving count?

[–] jeffw 5 points 6 months ago

Well those communities make up like half of my posts, so I feel like you’re everywhere lol. If I skip the news community and the ones I mod, I think almost all my posts go to your communities. Mostly just politics ig

😆 Definitely happily in a relationship here, no such intentions! ✋

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Sitting at work, instead of being out taking photos of birds with my new camera and lens!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Working. Not working.

[–] MisterNeon 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm preparing to go to bed instead of painting Warhammer 40K Orks.

[–] setsneedtofeed 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Orks? Orks?! Paint them tomorrow. And then show them to [email protected]

eating cookies instead of having a loving trusting mutually attractive partner to cuddle with.

[–] victorz 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Go out and socialize. I was lucky to have met someone at a party that ended up as my life partner. But it wasn't without me getting out of my comfort zone. I'd never asked anyone out on a date before. My two relationships before then happened because the other party asked me out. First one broke up with me after 5 months, probably thought I was boring. Second one divorced me after 12 years. (Married young, she turned out to be very weird as we grew older, and I didn't have the balls to end it for fear of being alone and hurting her.)

Literally one or two weeks after divorce was finalized I met this girl at a party at a mutual friend's place and I said to myself, there's literally no time to waste if you want to be happy. You gotta grab these opportunities. Gotta seize'em. Ask her out! Nothing to lose!

So I did. A day later on Facebook. 🫣 But she said yes and here we are with two kids.

Go out there! Get yours! ❤️

pooping at work instead of exploring the multiverse in a scifi timespace ship

[–] toomanypancakes 4 points 6 months ago

Dang, exploring the multiverse sounds way better. I like your style!

[–] TIMMAY 2 points 6 months ago

I just read Tau Zero by Paul Anderson and I think I'm good on large-scale travel now

[–] berryjam 7 points 6 months ago

Want to watch the aurora but it's raining, god damn it

[–] vivavideri 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Grumpily observing the ampere app on two devices I'm charging simultaneously, disappointed the charging brick isn't living up to its hype of 67W. Yes, I even pulled out the converter website because the app provides both mA and voltage.

I could be snuggling cats. Spooning my girlfriend. Settling in for the night, but, alas. I was promised "super fast charging" and only got "fast charging".

[–] victorz 2 points 6 months ago

Priorities, am I right?

[–] mechoman444 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm currently taking a dump in the state of Georgia USA. (My home state)

I wish I was taking a dump in a mansion on the French Riviera.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

As someone who has taken dumps in mansions in both the state of Georgia and the French Riviera, I agree. Costs a lot more in the French Riviera, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

My friend, as soon as the bathroom door closes the outside world exists entirely in your imagination. You can be taking a dump on the Rocinante if that’s what your heart desires.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Doing
I'm watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from leg day at the gym. About to eat some pressure cooked chicken (tikki masala and tapatío as simmer sauce).

Rather
I suppose I'd rather be watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from the gym.. earlier, while stoned and hanging out with someone I was dating, but dating apps are the poo.

Haha, 11p for me, not much variation available this time of night.

Good show so far for SciFi lovers. Reminds me a bit of Fringe for some reason tho the storylines are nothing alike.

[–] TokenBoomer 5 points 6 months ago

You would probably like Continuum then. Travelers was a great show and needed another season.

Scrolling Lemmy instead of reading the book that I'm pretty into. I've been staying up too late reading lately, and its not late yet, and so I could read now but inertia is keeping me doomscrolling

[–] jeffw 4 points 6 months ago

Watching Elliott Smith vids on YouTube instead of sleeping

[–] grasshopper_mouse 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish I was still gaming but I gotta get up early to take my car in for an oil change

[–] vivavideri 1 points 6 months ago

If you're handy, I encourage you to look into changing your own. Biggest hurdle for me personally was knowing where to drop off old oil. Also, fumoto valves. Game changer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Watching a shitty movie (Battlefield Earth) and scrolling Lemmy.

Wishing I was being ploughed by a cutie with a huge cock.

[–] vermyndax 3 points 6 months ago

Doomscrolling instead of sleeping

[–] TropicalDingdong 3 points 6 months ago

I wish I was surfing but the sets are like, 10 ft faces. That's way out of my weight class. So instead I'm still working.

[–] Monster96 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Playing game on my pc. I'd rather be doing something I haven't done before like go drinking all night, travel, go sight seeing, hell, even have sex. Literally anything other than sit at this computer

[–] meekah 8 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Have you tried not sitting at that computer?

Awake on Lemmy because I can't sleep.
