Never take advice from internet strangers. But it nonetheless will be given, so here goes.

What’s that, no presents in that?

Tell your partner your relationship will not last without change, and that you want to have small, short conversations with takeaway actions more regularly. My guess is that’s the truth, and communication, even a little, can help tremendously when both parties engage.

Oh look, communication, but, no presents?

Saying your relationship will fail and end bluntly will make them scared of that actually happening, because they most likely currently feel secure enough in the relationship to ignore your needs. This is common unfortunately, often born of time and repetitiveness.

Oh no… Still no presents and we’re close to halfway through.

Make sure they ubderstand that conversation doesn’t have to he daunting (that will scare then), but simple and easy single topics at a time. The first few may be longer, but they will get shorter, and tell them that you are open to talking to someone together if they feel it is warranted or have trouble having those conversations on their own (that alone may spur them to engage).

Oh crap, more about conversation.

Peppering in positive commentary or actions, like what you enjoy from them (especially what they do for you) and positive actions (like planning a weekend away or a night out) can also help take the strain out of the conversations, too.

Hmm, ways to make conversation more comfortable, but presents aren’t it.

Sorry you are going through this, mental and/or emotional dissatisfaction in a relationship is rough, but assuming you really want to work through it, it is possible to get brick walls to move.

And affirmation.

Reading comprehension is hard, I guess.

Them:

Nothing happened

Me:

• Gives advice that has nothing to do with presents.

You:

no to whatever is going on with saying they need presents on valentines.

You just went on a tirade because you misread comments. Hope you had fun.

Title is misleading, though the article is accurate.

He shifted right on all policies, agreeing with new immigration laws and being the only Dem to affirm an election denier appointed by Trump. Israel is one small, small piece of his shift to red.

That looking up in the second frame is perfection.

Security cameras. Smart sensors. Basically anything you can make based on a $2 ESP32.

Read the comment again. No one is talking about presents but you.

Whew, this is why I pin on sha256. I fear for the latest crowd.

Edit: At least it seems updating the container doesn’t break things:

Replacing any v5 image (2024.07.0 and earlier) with a v6 image will result in updated configuration files. These changes are irreversible.

Others have mentioned what Firefox/etc do, but another option is a PiHole. If you can’t look up the IP for an advertiser URL, you don’t load the JavaScript to begin with.

What? No to communication? Yes to just bail? Thanks for bringing the Reddit vibe.

Your situation sounds great, it is in fact similar to mine. But guess what, it’s not unique, and your relationship is not better than comment OPs because you and your partner are on the same page on holidays and presents. No one is talking about changing a person, we talk about changing behavior.

They could be compatible in a thousand different ways except this one, you have no idea. And if you think your relationship is perfect without communication around the things that aren’t, then either that relationship is new, or your partner isn’t being honest with you.

This is nothing new. Fire up any ActivityPub server and you can see everything over the wire. As a Lemmy admin of my server of just me, I can also see it in the UI.

How does a plane get infected with Minneapolis? We shoupd make sure this doesn’t spread like bird flu.

Filtering Youtube by 12+ years ago is a wild ride.

I did just set up Touch UI as a plugin on Octoprint. It’s ugly, but it works.

Yea, learned it was because instances must he running 0.19.4.

Your instance must be running 0.19.4.

I never realized Lemmy supported alt tags for this. Time for a Thunder Issue/PR.

Edit, nevermind, it already supports it but the instance must have 0.19.4 of Lemmy.

These aren’t better. They are also very good, but not better.

The Guardian’s unique funding and employee investment structure is top notch, and allows them to stay unbiased despite being large.

Note: I hate paywalls, too. But the Guardian does not have a paywall. They have a pay request, which is a great model.

My opinion: They stopped pressing because they had the sound bite. And the interruption kept McMahon from spewing more nonsense that she could later claim clips were taken out of context.

I took them off my list once I realized many of their articles were treating rumor as fact. It would get really annoying when I tried to use the knowledge to do something only to learn the thing they said was “added to the linux kernel” was really just a patch posted to the mailing list that was being discussed.
