You are correct. Thank you for holding me accountable. Sometimes I can be shortsighted, as it is human nature, and not consider the whole story. Sorry OP for coming off as a dick. I am empathetic to your situation and I hope you find some justice and your friend and her child can find a way to leave safely.
Why doesn’t your “friend” stick up for you to this asshole? If legal routes don’t work, you can always find some sort of petty revenge to make his life a living hell. If you’re into that kind of thing.

This is great info since I’ve had my eye on dark parks in Michigan for quite some time! I will definitely be adding this area to my list of possibilities to check out this fall. Gonna let the summer pass before doing too much outdoor things. Tho I’m sad I’ll miss the puffballs; I’ve been interested in foraging. The real bummer is we just sold our Tacoma so we no longer have a vehicle capable of off-roading. But that’s okay, camping and stargazing are enough for now :)
I’ve got most of those things already. I need to procure some sort of small greenhouse-like chamber to maintain humidity. For my actives, I covered my tubs with plastic bags which worked fantastic but not sure that would work with gourmet. Perhaps this will be my winter project later this year!
Ayyy fellow midwesterner! I used national parks/forests interchangeably and never made the connection they could be distinct things. I looked up some places within 4-5 hour drives and most were grassy areas with some type of small water feature. There’s some good primitive camping close to me too that I want to check out.
Optometry is a small world so I had found a temporary part time job at a local office needing a tech so I was a “super tech” for the owner for 4-5 weeks. But I do start working for real next week already (it really snuck up on me, thought I had a couple more). I love some of your suggestions! I wish I had a house to do projects with and land to garden on. I’ve done hydroponic tomatoes at a precious apartment complex which was interesting but I prefer in ground.
Are you married to LEGO for nostalgia’s sake? We all have preferences to brands, myself included. I love that you’re also “recycling” by buying previously used sets. That’s amazing, I had no idea that existed and I’m going to look into it!
Isn’t the company who posted the ad charged every time their ad is clicked? Sometimes I click them just to make the company pay for me clicking the ad. Lol yes I can be petty.
My husband loves LEGOs and has started buying the Mould King brand on Amazon. He says they’re just as good but are a fraction of the price.
Gourmets would be so fun to grow! I did some actives awhile back for microdosing and it was so hard not to check on the tubs every couple hours. I had my eyes in lions mane at one point but never ordered any. What are some other ones you like and how do you like cook/prepare them? I’ve also wanted to get into wild foraging but need to do more research for what’s in my area and ensure I don’t bring home poisonous ones.
Man I felt that last sentence in my soul. I am constantly picking up different hobbies and dropping them. I like the idea of cycling. My husband used to and he’s been wanting to get back into it so that would be something we could do together sometimes.
I have considered woodworking but I also don’t really have space to do it. I would love to take a class for it to learn some basics to go on! Watercolor could be interesting. I’m an absolutely terrible drawer and it’s discouraged me in the past.
I do have a gaming laptop but I suspect the battery is spicy so it’s currently in exile. Otherwise I have been wanting to dabble a bit in computer stuff and an old laptop would’ve been the perfect toy to fuck around and find out on.
I think BJJ or some other form of martial arts would be a great outlet to release some pent up aggression and rage. I may look into gyms around my area after I begin working.
I have gotten back into cooking and meal planning some amazing meals. I used to do sourdough but my starter was neglected to the point of death. RIP. Maybe I’ll start anew! Always looking for fun and interesting topics to learn about which fuels my lemmy addiction.
I’ll check the site out, thanks for sending it. I do have an old buddy that opened his own studio so I’ll look him up and see what his openings are like! I am a decent self learner but there is always things you can learn better with proper instructions!
Haha no what’s that?!
I’ve spent soooo many hours on Reddit and now lemmy. It is so addicting for me and I’d like to stop being on my phone so much. I HAVE been wanting to learn Spanish. It would help in my professional life and my husband is Hispanic and his parents/extended family primarily speak it. Thanks for the reminder and all the other wonderful suggestions! I do crochet amigurumi but I burnt myself out a bit by trying to sell them.
I actually bought an acoustic to do some self lessons on during my externship year but couldn’t commit to one thing. I guess I need some guidance on the best way to approach it. Any suggestions for YouTube channels or books to follow?
You may just have preconceived notions. I’m in a similar position and am trying not to expect this sort of behavior. However my plan is to maintain open and honest communication. If you feel resentment or animosity arising from someone, have a private meeting with them to discuss it. It’s a simple “hey I feel some resentment from you towards myself and/or other teams members and I wanted to clear the air and see if I did something to upset you?”. Usually simple, clear, concise beginnings are best. Get an understanding of why someone is acting a certain way then try to find a way to relate to their emotions. Then you can both try to come up with a way to relieve their resentment and tension between the crew members.
Another comment said “we’re all adults” but society breeds immaturity and people rarely know how to discuss their emotions so they bottle them and that can manifest as anger or passive aggression. Both of which prolong uneasy feelings for NO reason when a small discussion can usually make things better. Confrontation can be hard at first, but ultimately helps to release pressure from building up inside.
