How do you make friends with social media?

Whats the difference between "English is not my first language" bad grammar, and "The only language I speak jmis english" bad grammar? by Nemo in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 64 points 7 months ago

"second language" English has problems with articles, unusual plurals, irregular verbs, and tends to an overly formal tone

"only" English has problems with homophones, apostrophe placement, and using slang where it's not appropriate

What is the most horrifying thing you've seen on the internet that didn't involve gore? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It turns out that lots of people are actually against recognizing human rights, as long as their rights are protected.

Do you think there are any homeless people who never use drugs, have no mental illness, but are just sick of society and choose to walk the Earth like Caine in Kung Fu? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 63 points 11 months ago

I never used drugs, and arguable didn't have mental health issues. I just... ran out of money, and wasn't making more fast enough to keep having an apartment. I was homeless for about two months before I got back on my feet.

There's a lot of people like that, who just... didn't have the money to stay housed continuously.

People who've been to a (regular) party, what do people do there? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 63 points 1 year ago

The reason I like lemmy, and reddit before, is that it feels like a cocktail party. You wander into a conversation already in progress, listen awhile, maybe say something, maybe make a new human connection.

What's the biggest plot hole in real life? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That DB Cooper storyline was never resolved.

What's the most expensive thing you've eaten? Was it worth it? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 65 points 1 year ago

A4 wagyu tomahawk
Louis XIII cognac
pure saffron

Worth it? Definitely. Especially since I didn't pay for any of it. This was all professional training as a fine dining server.

Soil Remediation Questions (midwest.social)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Nemo@midwest.social to c/soilscience@slrpnk.net

I'm in Chicago, on the West Side, with two adjoining lots of uncertain history.

The lot I live in had no garage going back several decades, but I pulled out a foundation for something smallish when I laid down sod after moving in; and when I dug the posts for the fence (and raised beds) I found not one but two brick patios, one about six inches down and one about eighteen inches down. Also a lot of garbage, car parts, old clothes, and plastic.

The second lot has a sunken area with a footprint the same size as my brick four-square. I don't know if the limestone foundation is still down there. We filled in the area with wood chips to keep down weeds and reduce the likelihood of falling into the hole.

Right now we're gardening in raised beds, but I'd like to get to in-ground planting eventually. What do I need to watch out for, what do I need to do, and what plants can I use to pull any heavy metals out of the soil over the next few years? I know sunflowers work if you get them out by the root, and that's great, but is there anything more low-profile or more physically manageable, especially something native to the area?

If a child refuses to nap, are they guilty of resisting a rest? by Nemo in c/dadjokes@lemmy.world

If they don't resist, it's a kid napping.

So many great childhood memories at the Great zplains Zoo. Didn't expect to see Sioux Falls in the news today and I'm honestly a little sad.

Why did you get fired? by Nemo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 61 points 1 year ago

Bug in the new point-of-sale software that the managers couldn't fix caused a small (under $200) sale to not process correctly. Was terminated for money mismanagement. Mgmt was so incompetent that they lost one of their best sellers, and ended up paying me unemployment through the lockdown because they couldn't defend the termination to the unemployment office.

Any chance we can add more languages to the instance? (midwest.social)

Right now users here can only choose English and Undetermined, preventing us from interacting with content in other languages. There's a lot of Spanish speakers in the Midwest, any chance we can expand the language list?

Right now it only list English and Undetermined, but I also want to be able to interact with content in Spanish, Latin, and Esperanto. But mostly Spanish.
