Wild! So devilstrip is what people from Akron call the grass between the road and the sidewalk.

Given my username, I was naturally very surprised as I read through your example. (Totally agree btw, but that would make too much sense)

For me personally, I’ve been able to “learn” to respond with a few generic answers but that still doesn’t change the over analysis after the fact.

Did I seem genuine enough? I wish I could tell them how I really feel. Why bother responding if it’s a lie? I hate lying. Etc.

So yeah outwardly I appear to be good at small talk. (Heck I even worked sales for a few years) but internally it’s draining.

I’ve always assumed it was due to the size of Reddit. I don’t care about anime at all but because lots of other people do it reaches the front page. This is why I became very liberal with the block button to tailor the feed.

I love the knob but hate that in 2021 they ‘upgraded’ the auto start to being in an app.

Looks like it.

Yeah, before I looked up the translation I figured it was "whore's son" which is close enough.

Still haven't seen a "join lemmy" but gotta love "Digg 4 Lyfe"

Edit: It actually says DGG 4 LYFE.

Digg 4 Lyfe

You missed the best part, in the German Flag, they've written "u/spez ist ein Hurensohn!"

Translation: u/spez is a son of a whore/bitch (Google says bitch, commenters are saying whore.)

I think you’re on to something here. I play all kinds of games with friends, and DOTA was the only one where I’d actively get shit on for my lack of skill. And that’s from real life friends too.

Best thing I ever did was hang peg board. Two actually, one for pans (pots still live in the cabinet), and another for the most used utensils. I love having all my measuring spoons and cups hanging next to the cutting board.
