What is a dumpling? (lemmy.today)

This made for an interesting discussion at dinner lol. Lots of opinions on what is or isn’t a “dumpling” xD

I keep commenting on the wrong post somehow.

I don't even know how I keep making this stupid annoying mistake ffs🔥

Sometimes I wish I could augment my brain to become better, but simutaneously I also remember that Elon Musk and other capitalists are in control of BCI tech which reminds me that I don't really want to atm :/

If so, how did you manage it?

Didnt get any pictures cause my phone was turned off but there were a ton of people driving by filming

It was honestly really fun, I expected to to feel like a necessary and important chore, but it was super fun waving to every car and trying to get people to honk, and shouting

There were times where it felt like everyone at the major intersection we were at were honking simultaneously and it was kinda incredible 😅 I imagine it helps a lot we were in a fairly blue area in my state

We went to a smaller protest location instead of the main one in our area so we expected it to be really small and peeter out early but it was way bigger than either my friend or I expected

Overall it was really nice, I got to chat with folks, there were folks passing out food so I got a free cookie and donut, got to wave at cars, see people and sometimes little kids in the back seat wave back, try and get moving trucks and whatnot to honk (a good number did lol), only downside is I'm pretty sunburnt cause afterwards we went strawberry picking lol. I'm sure not all protests are fun, but as a first time experience it was a lot more fun that I expected

Walking away from it I feel a bit more connected to my community and I love that feeling

The vet says he has a cancerous lump and will not survive any intervention, and that he was a very different dog than even from two months ago and that it was time. He has dementia, tracheal stenosis, diabetes and cataracts, and coughs a lot, so it really is time, but my ex needed to hear it from the vet, who thankfully is always her forthright helpful compassionate self.

I know the internet hates pugs, but he was a stray I fostered and then adopted, and he had a wonderful hilarious personality, was cuddly as could be, and really did very well until the last year or so.

It is the right decision without question, but it's never any easier no matter what experience you have with it. I will miss my puppy baby so much.

I'm really happy, I missed this, it's also something to look forward to, feeling awful from my first group of friends, I finally have a second group that I also once used to talk with, it's so good, I'm like irrationally happy right now

We're gonna play Minecraft again, we're gonna have fun, we're gonna joke around and talk about random shit that interest us, I'll finally take the stress of life out, I'm so glad this happened

It is so much sweeter and with a unique taste, I don't like peanut butter because it takes so much sugar to make it sweet but hazelnut is less calorie dense and sweeter, it just feel superior!

Have you discovered a new instance? Did you experience a rift in community shifts? Did nothing change for you at all?

Personally, this event gave me a newfound appreciation for the admims of our various Fediverse servers. Thanks for all your hard work, guys.

Just like what the internet told me, what one buys, including books they don't read, actually speaks more about themselves. Not in a negative manner, such as wasting money, procrastination, or laziness, but because the unread books they purchase reveal more about who they are.

Unread or less-read books actually indicate that there is more they want or need to know and that there is so much more to discover in this endless universe. So, I did that too. Now the internet answered why I didn't read my books, both electronic and physical. I bought them because of an undiagnosed FOMO, maybe; if I don't do like others do, then I feel like I'm missing out lol.

So, now I subscribed to this managed hosting service for this app called BookStack. BookStack is a lightweight wiki software and a website that I pay rent for, which can be accessed at this site: bookstack.kadaikupi.space.

Personally, I very, very don't know what to post or publish here. Sometimes it comes to my mind that I want to post low-quality content (shitpost) lol, and sometimes I want it to be a site to post quality information instead of low-quality. Or maybe both.

This showed me that there is so much for me to discover that I haven't found anything, not even one thing, to post or publish on my wiki site.
