I try to be ready to leave, meaning dressed and bag is packed, as early as possible. I am for being as ready as possible at least 15 minutes before I leave. I add and subtract minutes depending on how important the event is and how much I need to have checked before leaving.

also, I try to aim for being at least 10 minutes early for most events. this is working very good for me. it allows small talk with other people who’ve arrived and it allows time for being late.

it is time consuming, but I’ve come to enjoy the breaks it gives, before leaving and when arriving early ^^

also, thinking through what I need to prepare before leaving as early as possible. Often, I think about it the afternoon before I have to pack.

good luck :)

//edit:

these systems don’t stop me from getting distracted and forgetting things, but because I’ve moved everything 15 minutes earlier, then when I’m late for my own deadlines, often I’ll still make it to the actual deadlines :)

sad to see that he thinks like that about rape and the whole Epstein thing :(

There is https://peertube.tv/

It is a video sharing platform and part of the fediverse :))

I dream of owning such a cup 😍

I think that might happen more often on mastodon, since if you reply to a thread there, it gets boosted to all your followers.

It might be interesting to add a sorting method to Lemmy, that would bump posts every time a comment is added.

Perhaps something to turn on for each community individually ?

I use Tasks too :))

All the visuals in the video seem to be generated by AI.

The video lists no sources, the claims are ridiculous and I couldn’t find anything to support the theory or even the existence of anything mentioned in the video.

The whole video seems bogus and made up.

Letterboxed - an app like bookwyrm, but for movies. I’ve seen other people talk about it and I think some people are working on it, but AFAIK nothing is up atm

the “collective” is just me, my boyfriend and two of our friends :))

we’ve lived together for about 7 years and plan on keeping it going. I don’t know if collective is the right word to describe our living situation but I can’t think of a better word either :)

I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people’s interest.

Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

I’ve worked in shipping for a couple months and I can only say this: People should order way less stuff online or make sure they are using an ethical shipping company (if they even exist).

the industry prays on young people (often minorities) who have trouble getting other jobs. they almost exclusively hire people with short term contracts (because your body can’t take the work for more than a few months). I’ve been part of a union for a long time and I know a lot about work safety. These companies teach people nothing and they can only meet their deadlines if people actively break their backs twisting around, doing unsafe lifts and generally working to fast.

I get that shipping is sometimes necessary, but it can only be as fast and cheap as it is, because poor people pay with their bodies.

Friends With Benefits

I had no idea (the CEO of) Brave was so bad 😢

I really like crash course for getting a good overview of a field :))

They have a series on psychology here. :))

calling Islam a 7th century death cult is very racist.

Far from all Muslim people advocate for controlling women like that. Make your point about sexism, but please do it without the racism.

//EDIT: I knew people would get angry about my use of the word ‘racist’, when I made the post, but I hoped people wouldn’t be so nitpicky. Of course I know people of any race can be Muslim, but the idea of race is much more than just the colour of a person’s skin. Race is tied to culture is tied to religion. I could have used any word instead of racist, like ‘anti-muslim’, ‘xenophobic’ or just plain ‘hateful’. I used racist, because I believe all these things are connected, and by calling it racist I hope people can see that.

Also, I’m an atheist myself, but Atheists really need to stop our war on religion. I hate organized religion and I will fight discrimination when I see it. But let people be.

the issue is with the text.

it says “they are …” instead of “there are …”

wtf !?

that is such a weird thing to do :/

oh no - that sounds bad 😨

?

I hate when whatever platform I am on auto-replaces my ‘:)’ with ‘🙂’ - the basis smiley emoji is so unsettling 😅
