    I was on Lemmy and saw a post where a user named TooManyPancakes (which is a lie!) asked everyone for some uplifting news to brighten their day.

    It was a wonderful exchange! This caring person, with the poorly chosen user name, took time out of their day to reply to as many comments as they could, with uplifting affirmations of their own.

    Completely made my day to see someone ask for help and then return it in kind, many times over. ❤️❤️❤️

      Aw, you’re sweet! I just figured I probably wasn’t the only one that could use some positivity today

      And for the record, it takes a lot of pancakes 😉

    My partner and I replaced the broken kitchen faucet all by ourselves, which might sound lame, but neither of us is a plumber, and it’s glorious to have running water in the kitchen again.

    My life happened to end but I came back.

    Additionally, since I’m from Europe I am not bankrupt due to that.

      Congratulations on your next chapter! A friend of mine had a freak cardiac event where his heart stopped for 7 minutes and they brought him back. Says he doesn’t remember anything except being home and then waking up in the hospital. Wild stuff.

        Thanks!

        For me it was almost 30 minutes but under low flow. The root cause is still unknown and I am neither the age nor in any risk group.

        When the defibrillator is used you get medication that causes memory loss for around a day before so theres no memory for me.

        Also got some wild medication and there’s a lot more to it but sufficient for now.

        Best wishes to your (too) undead friend.

    Found a woman that is exactly as weird and different as I am, which I thought was impossible, I was already fine with staying romantically alone my whole life :)

    I got hired!

    Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I’m exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.

    I’m getting a lot better at not being so serious all the time, it’s difficult but possible to change oneself.

    I’m going to visit my sister soon and I haven’t seen her in years, she doesn’t know I’m coming so will be a fun surprise.

    Did my yearly testing for my job. Last year for some reason it went kinda rough, left feeling like I didn’t do as well as I should have even though I passed. Was kinda worried about this one. It went great. Pretty much nailed it all, learned some new things too. So headed back to work tomorrow feeling pretty good about some important skills.

    You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

    I’ve had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.
