[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation

Normally when you need to wait at a crossing because it's red you take out your phone to waste some time. But you have to be quite anxious and look up if it's already green or not, otherwise you miss the green light.

But they help you out with that here in Korea by building in the traffic light into the curb. You're looking down on your phone and see the red line left and right of it. Once it changes to green you immediately are aware of it because it's in your field of view constantly.

Great invention!

I took the background picture just outside and put the stock picture hands with a phone on top of it so you can easier visualize it how it looks like in reality.

Open My Door by Alice Phoebe Lou Could not have hit me anymore with where my lifes at currently. https://youtu.be/qjZFE4PLEZ8

Feels like waking up after 2 years of sleep.

What was the last song that hit you at the right place right time?

Fuck, I forgot how sad that movie is.

Wasn't sure whether to throw this into an ask community or here, but ultimately chose casual convo because I am lowkey also looking for advice lol

I landed a job last week (hired me on the spot, did training 3 days later) as one of those people who stand outside shops/etc. asking people to donate to charities. Reputable charities for the record and without cash donations, so not some scam. But the way this is organised is miserable!! I literally get told where I'm supposed to go the night before I go there. I also get paid exclusively based on how many people I get to donate (this was not on the job ad on Indeed). The job itself is fine, is whatever, but between the chaos of having to schedule my day last minute and never being sure how much I'll make in a month... I need to hightail it out of here.

I get paid on the 15th of May, would it be inappropriate for me to quit right after? I'll give two weeks notice of course. My team leader has been super sweet to me and is already telling me I'm a natural and she wants to promote me inside her team... I did hint at the fact this is just a temporary thing for me and what I really want is an office job, but she keeps insisting I should stay and can earn a lot more here (and tbf she makes €3000/month). To be honest this whole structure feels very pyramid scheme-ish lol minus the fact people don't pay into it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this or any experience you want to share!

Serious or irreverent welcome

I'll go first:

First day of highschool, slipped and fell in a puddle of vomit, and some kids laughed. Sheepishly went to the bathroom and rinsed my uniform, and put it in my bag. Spent the rest of the day in gym clothes which I luckily had that day, still smelling like vomit though.

Good thing when you don't know anyone yet is nobody remembers.

I've seen some that can potentially be fit into a recessed light, but I'd have to do some research to figure out how to know if the cans are attached to studs. Beyond that, I can't seem to find anything. Anyone have ideas or tips?

I am so exhausted.

My older brother has to be the most selfish egoistic person that exists on this planet. When I meet him everything is "fine" he talks like the friendliest person ever, always has a positive opinion about things and can generally talk very well.

My grandpa died a few months ago so my mother and her brother got the inheritance. Since my mother didn't want anything and left it to her brother our state by law asks the children of the next generation if they want to accept or refuse inheritance.

So my mom didnt want it and she told us to not accept it either. It would be 25% for me and 25% for him.

I said sure, fine - my brother was still thinking about it cause we own a small little "land".

Long story short: My brother talked with my oncle before hand and begged to give him the property and he wouldn't accept the inheritance in exchange. I didn't know about the deal and during all this I questioned the land with my mother and my brother as well but my brother kept saying: "We can't do that, it wouldnt be right to accept the inheritance if mom said we shouldn't."

End of story: I didn't accept it (moral reasons), my brother didn't accept it but he got the land and is now bragging around that he owns land.

I couldn't care less, I got my own stuff but I hate how he handled this whole shi.t making me look like a greedy dude in front of my mother cause I questioned it but during that time he already had a deal with my oncle about it.

Man I hate people.

This isn't the only thing I noticed. I am seeing very clearly 35 years too late. Everytime we go out with his kids I pay for his coffee, I pay entrance to stuff for his kids cause he says "You are the oncle you gotta do it once in a while". Last weekend I visited him for a coffee in his area and we went to the local coffee shop again. I already invited him 5 times and this time he said he would pay. Right before we had to pay he said he has to use the toilet and disapeared for 10 minutes until I was done paying. He does pulls that off every single time.

It's hilarious cause I never really bothered about those small things. Even my father, my stepfather and mother say he is a selfish person and my mother basically disinherited him a few years ago so I will be getting most of my mothers stuff when she passes away.

Yesterday was easter sunday. He visited the "new property" with his wife and children but only invited his wifes family to the BBQ event he planned for his new "yard". My mother, lives about 1 mile away from the property and she didn't get invited. It was her property. She was so mad when she found out they didnt invite her.

My mom called me and said it was the stupidest idea ever to let her brother have everything and if she would have known that my brother did such a deal she wouldn't have let this all happen. Now she has to live with the fact my brothers wifes family being on her old property. I cant pack this whole thing in the topic here but my mother isnt "good" with his wife.

I know I didnt get "ripped off" because I didnt own anything here. But I feel like my brother screwed me. I know I shouldnt feel this way cause it was never my inheritance to begin with.

I have an offgrid solar system and have been wanting to do improve on lighting situation for a while. Got tired of dealing with rechargeable led lanterns burning out and 5v usb bulbs providing just enough.. So, I Made my own offgrid lighting fixture with replaceable led a26 bulbs. I started with a cheap single bulb hanging fixture, cut off the ac outlet end, wired on a 12v car plug, and screwed in a 1-to-3 a26 bulb adapter to get multiple bulbs parallel on the same fixture.

It plugs into my 12v solar system through a car cigarette port plug. I would like to get it on a dimmer at some point but this is sooo nice already. One of the few things I missed was the luxury of good home lighting. It took awhile to figure out a solution that worked.

I was thinking instead of a dimmer switch, maybe power it with a manually adjustable usbc-pd cord. The bulbs are 12-24v. I'm not sure if adjusting the voltage would make it brighter like how I'm expecting though? Is it 6w no matter if 12 or 24v? Might be a fun experiment. Theoretically it's currently consuming 18w to give me afequite home lighting which is about the same as a laptop on at idle. Very nice!

Nothing? Something? Lots? Tell us here!

So for reasons previously touched upon, Tuvalu is going to disappear in the next century. Because it's required as per protocol, they want to transfer themselves into the informational world as a substitute for what they need to keep all the perks of sovereignty (that moment when we get both such a nation and a Muslim pope before we get GTA 6). This, of course, doesn't come without its own challenges, such as exploitation by bad actors. So I was thinking... what if, in this state of existence, they were federated, mastodon-style? Would this win in the win-win department?
