The one thing I'm glad of is that I'll never lose contact with any of my kids over politics unless they're the ones who turn crazy because compassion is the cornerstone of my parenting (with teaching them to respect their boundaries a strong second place).

I hope today goes OK for you pal. Sorry to hear things are shit.

Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Might try that last one. Definitely sounds interesting.

Happy Christmas!

Tried and succeeded: Guinness. Nom nom nom.

Tried and failed: black tea and black coffee

Your second one ties right into my second one in the OP :)

The first one, I have a rule: I don't mind if you're a cunt to me occasionally. We're all a cunt occasionally. As long as you come back to me and apologise it shows me that you've considered your behaviour and who knows what caused it.

If you don't, I'll cut you out of my life like the fat off a pork chop.

I call that the preemptive strike :) Very fond of it as someone with a bladder the size of a five year old.

I've given a talk more than once titled "the mistakes I've made so you don't have to".

I never reveal the title in advance and it always gets a giggle but invariably grabs attention.

I agree with that 100%.

The context I was given it in was more about how you view the world. So if you think that people are good you'll invariably find the good and vice versa.

Two for me:

  1. The moment you feel tipsy it's time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that's going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately.

  2. If you think people are good, you're probably right and if you think people are bad, you're probably right.

People are good IMO.

TIL that the Irish flag was invented by the French (en.wikipedia.org)
 

Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

What are your favourite plugins that you think others are likely unaware of? (lemmy.world)
 

So, not uBlock or whatever as everyone's aware of that.

Mine (all Firefox):

Video Speed Controller. LOVE this one. A tiny widget appears on any video showing current speed and you hit a key to +10% / -10% (I have mine mapped to [ and ]). You can also hide the little widget (v) if you're watching a movie etc.

Very handy for sites that don't support changing video speed or have limited options.

Quick cookie manager - Allows you to delete all cookies on a page that you've visited. Very handy when "reject all" leaves you with like 20 cookies anyway.

Netflux - 1080p Netflix on Linux. Can be a little fiddly at times but it does work.

Smirnoff vodka on European shelves is made in the US (lemmy.world)
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

Bench - A community for pictures of benches! (lemmy.world)
 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread

Europoors, complete this sentence: Lidl is better for X and Aldi is better for Y (lemmy.world)
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? [solved] (lemmy.world)

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!
