Was the most weirdly aggressively Pepsi only area I've ever been in haha now I try to make sure we grab him a six pack when we go anywhere new juuuust in case. Haven't run into the situation a second time fortunately lol

Lol my brother is a coke guy. Took him out for his birthday and he's in the bathroom when server came over for drink orders. My brother usually interrogates them if it's real coke which seems kind of over the top so I just said "do you have actual coke?" and got a yes so ordered it for him. He sits down and I'm like I made sure it was coke for you! He takes a sip— it's Pepsi lmao.

Still not as funny as the time we were on vacation in a Pepsi area. Couldn't even find coke in the gas stations. We visit a ye olde touristy shopping center done up like the 1950s. Coke paraphernalia everywhere. I'm like great we can finally get you a coke! Go in a store, all the coolers are coke aesthetic, he's excited. —It's all Pepsi.

It's hard up out there lmao. (I understand the frustration though, did once have a meltdown after a lot of driving because I couldn't get tea anywhere that wasn't a cheap grocery store teabag at best lol just want good tea before doing another 8hrs straight driving. Ended up angrily making my own in the parking lot like a madwoman lmfao)

Once put one of those plastic wrapped potatoes in my uniform apron to put back in produce at my first retail job (got abandoned in the mac and cheese section). I then completely forgot and took it home. Took it out of my apron and put it on my desk next to my car keys because "I'll remember to take it back". I did not. Lived with me for a week or something when I finally put it in my apron again because I wasn't remembering. I took it to work. I completely forgot about it and never returned it. It made this trip several times. I put it back on my desk because this wasn't working out, surely I'll remember if I see it.

Then I forgot about it for like three months. One day I look over at my desk and it's a shriveled potato with a new potato growing from its own husk...

In essence, potatoes are amazing and horrifying. Just like my short term memory lol.

Had some players that were doing a see who can sleep with NPCs tally check. I had some NPCs do it right back. I gave them both insight checks to realize they were now the game instead of playing the game and both failed. This feels like that lol.

Reminds me of a Japanese "ghost story" I read (dunno how authentic this is, I got it out of the Barnes and Noble discount bin lol) about a man who falls asleep under a tree and isekais into the ant colony around the tree which has a long and storied history, living out a life where he married the princess, has daughters, died and was entombed before waking up and digging up the ant colony to find his own tomb.

I don't like bugs, but I would watch this kind of story around a termite colony...

I think what I like most of this is it matches my decorating skills of random shit I like in no too particular order rather than the curated fairytale house I always tell myself I'm going for and then fail miserably at because "I know it's supposed to be the strawberry room, but it's a pirate bed, it's gotta be in there".

Aragorn and O'Brien would probably get along well, trading stories of their suffering in c/tenforward

It's funny I did a rewatch recently and I realized he's kind of obsessed about her the way Julian is about him and she kind of treats him the same way. Julian wants to play darts, nah he wants to go hang with Keiko, nah Keiko wants to get back to having a a career, he should go hang with Julian! Now Miles is making the face Julian made when he ditched Julian lmao

Can say personally when I made a Pinterest account to save recipes lol

DMs are just writers that have an idea for a story, but don't feel like writing a book. in c/dnd

I generally start with a pre-written adventure and then just run it sandbox living world style. If I do anything it's a ton of researching random DND lore and working that in.

[Mod Post] Community Update (self.hobbydrama)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by PassingDuchy to c/hobbydrama

4 comments fedilink

Hello! Your friendly mod PassingDuchy again with a few community updates!

Reddit and Discord Hobby Drama communities

I did reach out to both communities. The response from both is that they're not interested in affiliating. As such we won't be linking to either community in the sidebar to respect their wishes. Going forward please don't send either community messages about partnering with this community (though I appreciate everyone who did! It was a big help).

Reposting

Based on the previous discussion post we will be encouraging an opt-out request be sent to authors, but not requiring. The only requirement currently is that the full text is reposted and a link to the original post is included at the top or bottom of the repost.

14 Day Rule

The 14 day rule for all drama being concluded (outside of Round Up) will remain instituted.

Post Titles

As Lemmy doesn't currently have flairs/tags, we will be requiring a little extra work on post titles to help community searchability. Your title must include:

[Repost] for reposts from another community (reddit or otherwise). Reposts must include the full text and a link to the original post at the top or bottom of the repost. At this time non-text posts (podcasts, YouTube videos, etc) are not allowed. If you want to link those you may link them in the weekly Hobby Round Up.
A [History] tag if your post is a professional history related to a hobby. History is for only professionals having drama with no hobbyists involved (industry drama). This is a little extra work, but a compromise for people who are solely here to read about hobbyists and not industry drama. Ex. A post about the history of F1 would be [History], but a post about fan efforts to have a specific racer removed would be hobbyist drama.
[Hobby] please keep this to the general hobby eg video games, knitting, board games, TV shows, music, apparel, etc.
OPTIONAL [Specific Hobby] this is mostly useful for designating a specific fandom, band, brand, platform, etc (eg if your write-up general hobby is music, you might put Taylor Swift here to note the drama is about her specific fandom).
We will not be requiring markers for post length. If your post exceeds the character count and needs to be continued in the comments, please link to the continued comment chain in your main post (currently mods can't pin other users' comments so we can't assist here).
A full title should look something like: [Video Games][Old School Runescape] The hat scandal OR [Repost][History][Music] Fyre Festival controversies.

Hobby Round Up/Scuffles

A general megapost for all breaking hobby drama (14 day rule will not apply), news, chat, posts that don't fit the rules, links to articles/podcasts/videos, etc will go up on Mondays (I'm currently looking into figuring out an automod bot to do this to ensure regularity). I've changed the name to Round Up in the hope that users who use both the Lemmy and Reddit communities will see the different title in their tabs and have less confusion when posting between both.

Hobby Town Hall/Community Discussion

Hobby Community Discussion will be like the subreddit's Town Hall and go up on the first of the month. As we are a smaller community this will go up on the monthly first to be used for a four month period and be pinned for the duration. Community suggestions, improvements and concerns should be posted to Community Discussion. If possible please use reports for any immediate concerns as the mod team can coordinate best for immediate response via the modlog. Our first Community Discussion will go up on September 1st 2023 and last until the next one on January 1st 2024.

[Recipe Request] Breakfast recipes for hospice individuals (self.cooking)

submitted 1 year ago by PassingDuchy to c/cooking

3 comments fedilink

Hello!

I take care of a few hospice individuals and am looking for breakfast ideas! Dietary requirements are as follows:

low carb
low sugar
low dairy

Since most of them have no teeth they need ground/pureed soft food as well (though I can always blender hard foods so I'm not listing it as a dietary requirement, but things like curries or soups are a big time saver for me since I can skip the blender step).

Currently my recipe list is as follows:

Shakshuka
Frittata
Miso Soup
Gazpacho
Vegetable/Fruit salads (I don't have a specific recipe for this so if anyone has one I'd love one!)

I'm not really a breakfast person so I'm looking for some recipe ideas since right now they mostly just get cereal or yogurt every morning which doesn't really fit the doctors' orders and has to be pretty boring for them.

[Mod Post] Hobby Drama Rules Discussion (self.hobbydrama)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by PassingDuchy to c/hobbydrama

24 comments fedilink

Hey there! This is obviously a community in the vein of the reddit Hobby Drama subreddit, but I wanted to check in to see where we want to draw a few rules as a community. So to that end:

REPOSTING FROM REDDIT

I did see a few people were interested in having a bot auto repost from the reddit sub and most of our posts are reposts. My question here is should we have an anything from another site (reddit or otherwise) is fair game to repost with proper credit (let's try to keep those links back to original write-ups, I feel this is only fair to the authors) rule or should permission be obtained from the author first for reposts (basically like r/bestofredditorupdates on reddit)?

DRAMA RESOLUTION WAITING PERIOD

The reddit sub has a 14 day waiting period for drama to conclude before a post can go up. As we're obviously a smaller community I don't see the need to be as stringent, but waiving the waiting period could lead to a lot of biased hot take posts. Would the community like to see the waiting period waived, lowered, remain?

ETA: this post is open for discussion until 7/24 so please do add your opinion even if you feel "late" to the discussion! It's my goal to have the community rules updated by Friday 7/28 to fit our community a little better and knowing how our community feels as migration from reddit continues to take place will be a big assist.
