It depends on the severity.

• If you are touching cloth, then it is a shart and should be relatively well contained. You just need to clean-up and perhaps discreetly dispose of your undercrackers.
• If you are touching socks, then the world has dropped out of your bottom and is pretty disastrous as everything is contaminated. You also have a larger problem as this would suggest you have food poisoning or some kind of illness and this is just the start of your problems. When I was in hospital the guy opposite me got C. difficile and the result was unexpected and borderline volcanic - that wasn’t just a bad day, it was a bad week.

I’m a big fan of the Hong Kong New Wave in cinema. It’s also a handy entrance to wider Chinese films - if you like a director or actor or type of film, there are a lot more to find if you start digging.

Go and see your GP. It wasn’t a heart attack but it was a wake up call and I don’t think jumping to seeing a cardiologist will be that helpful, although a GP can refer you on if they think you need it.

I was in the foothills of heart health problems - high BP, cholesterol creeping up, etc. and the health staff were starting to express concern (suggesting I might need to go on statins). So I turned it around in two years and at my last health check my weight and bloods were all “perfect” according to the nurse. So it is doable.

However, from what you say, mental health issues may be holding you back and making important and sweeping changes to your lifestyle require effort and focus. So the GP may want to get this addressed while starting to monitor your health through regular checks. I found the checks motivating in themselves as the data can really prod you into action because you no longer can say you are probably unhealthy - it is there in stark numbers. I also suspect I was slightly gamifying it as I made beating the numbers a focus and figuring out what I needed to do to adjust each on (as lowering triglyceride levels requires different action to lowering LDL, bad cholesterol). I even made a spreadsheet.

Left during the APIcalypse, largely only go back to help guide people to the fire exits.

Modception

Know him since primary school and he doesn’t take much, so I do the talking for both of us, plus it means he hasn’t got around to telling me to bugger off and leave him alone.

Home assistant and zigbee/z-wave (also Bluetooth) resolve a lot of issues people have with smart home kit. Matter/Threads, discussed in the article, is supposed to be an open standard to make fancier kit from the big companies work together seamlessly, we just aren’t quite there yet.

Lemmy Hard With A Vengeance

I’ll be buying a lemon drizzle cake tomorrow for a friend’s birthday.

Lemmy Harder

What would you like to talk about: (but didnt bother to create a post about it) ?

Why you aren’t Lemmying hard enough so you have unposted topics up your sleeve.

Not a fan, usually it just feels like someone jabbing me in the ribs with their boney fingers.

Hi, here are all the other Mastodon users who visited the same sites as you (PornHub, XVideo, AlsatiansInLeather, and SpankBank)

They are wielding the banhammer like Thor. At least in their own minds.

It’s not difficult but you need perseverance to just get your head down and keep a trickle of content going in the hope that it’ll gain momentum. That means you can’t worry too much about initially being the only one posting to your community and you should make sure you have your newsfeeds up and running, and well trained, to keep feeding you potentially interesting links. Also keep an eye out for enthusiastic posters who does be potential moderators - as someone on here said: you can make a good poster a mod, you can’t make a mod a good poster.

A friend works for a housing association that had a very fancy office and that’s now been sold as they are all working from home.

Oh yeah, that too. I’ll sometimes do it when standing wait for something, like a lift. Hopefully it isn’t obvious from outside my trousers.

I have unusual muscle control - I can make my eyebrows and knees dance, plus I am a regurgitator. Not as good as Stevie Starr but enough to have a disgusting party piece. I am disappointed that I never mastered the art of the flatulist.
