Inclement weather. Any kind really but the bigger, the better. Snow flurries, a really big thunderstorm, howling wind - I turn 5 years old again every time. Just overcome with excitement and fear and awe.

Not with a broken leg and ankle but I've been overcome before by situations like this. I know there's a lot of advice in here already to manage the anxiety, but here's a few things you can actually do:

1. Make a list. Write down everything that needs to be taken care of. Pets, bills, work, rent, school work...just write down everything that comes to mind. Write down deadlines and where you are going to come short.

2. If you are not on heavy pain meds, start communicating. There's a good chance that some deadlines can be pushed back, work can find you extra hours, friends and family can spot you. Even creditors may be willing to help. You have a situation that is entirely provable with hospital records.

3. Depending on your life situation, you may be able to find government resources, charity groups, etc. Just by calling around you could find a connection inadvertently that can help. I found pro bono legal services once when an someone tried to sue me because a charity group i called knew someone from another group.

4. Adjust your list and prioritize what needs to be done first. I think just putting things down on paper/word doc takes a lot of burden off your mind. You know you won't forget what needs to be done and it helps to have all the info in front of you when you need to communicate.

5. Sudoku. Optional, but highly advocate that or some kind of problem solving game.

Good luck to you, friend. Speedy recovery.

During the cold season, I will give all metal door knobs and door handles a little whack first with my hand before grabbing. I hate the static shock that may or may not be waiting and the whack absorbs it in a way I can anticipate it.

I thought this would be more common but I don't really see anyone else doing it.

If you throw in 5. Scary Movie Marathon, this is literally my Halloween plans. I'm very excited to be hosting myself. And my cats.

It's too bad this data only runs up to 2018. The current/post pandemic era I think has made us all somewhat different consumers of film nowadays. Still cool to see though what we trending towards.

This movie for me cemented Sam Neill's acting range. From Dr. Grant with the dinosaurs...to this. This is also one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, sci-fi horror films of all time - which is kind of a tough genre to sell.

Here you go buddy

Ok, but how would you know it was a prank? If you have someone who has suddenly entered into your personal space exhibiting erratic but persistent confrontational behavior, I think there's some justification towards reacting with violence. I dont think most of us are conditioned or trained to react to threatening behavior in the most effective way, like cops and military are. So that means flight, freeze, or fight. You don't have the benefit of knowing it was a prank, you just have a situation rapidly unfolding in front of you. Unfortunately in this situation Colie was armed, and responded with that measure. I think most of people would be ok if the response was just a phsyical fight without a gun, but then again how many people have the capability to "win" that way?

I'm not a big fan of clickbait titles on Lemmy. OP since you read the article, you'd be doing the community a favor by changing the title or adding a summary for some quality discourse.

That's awful nice of the managers to take that on. I honestly think that anything that involves biohazard should not be handled by store employees at all.

People in Hawaii are deadly serious about their Spam. It is a high-theft item so places like Walmart typically lock them up.

Yeah I've discovered the non bike-friendly stores and venues in my area recently since getting an ebike in an attempt to be more eco-friendly. I absolutely hate it and I'll just go to another store - I'm not locking my bike a block away. Tangential rage: bike paths or sidewalks that abruptly end, pushing me out onto a 45mph road in order to continue on my way. Shitty businesses and garbage city planning to blame.
