Why? It's not uncommon for a sewage line to be above the floor level of the basement.

It was probably an unfinished basement that someone added a toilet to. You can't put the toilet below the sewage line.

It's probably in a basement and the sewage line is a few feet above ther floor.

I got that same deal, but somewhere along the way they started charging me a monthly fee.

It was a huge pain to cancel, because it wasn't showing anywhere that I'd actually subscribed, so I couldn't just unsubscribe from the app or website.

I've used one of these before. The main problem is that you're often put on a hold for at least 72 hours.

And while this does help get you out of that immediate crisis, missing 3 days of work and pay can actually put you in a worse position when you get out.

And mental institution stays aren't always super helpful for long-term mental health. Many of them are as bad, if not worse than being in jail.

I was never trained to run their register, so mistakes are bound to happened.

To me, it's very zen. it's more about putting the situation in the perspective that you need to handle the situation for what it is and not focus on being upset at the situation or being upset at not having a solution. Not every scenario has an end that works out for you, If you even have any control over it.

I usually hear it said when someone is having difficulty with a problem they have no real control over. Sometimes you just have to let things go and deal with your own emotions on the situation (which nobody else can do for you), or remove yourself from the situation entirely.

We've tried both clover and thyme, but we can't get them to really take off. But I think we just weren't doing enough at a time and wildlife was eating it all. Our current course of action has been killing sections of grass with a tarp, then planting the clover and our first patch is doing well.

I'm an elder millennial, raised by boomer hippies. My parents stayed pretty leftist their whole lives, a few of their friends still lean pretty hard left.

But many of their old "hippie" friends have gone pretty right in the last decade or so. These people had been liberal my whole life, until they hit about 60ish, and several have gone pretty conservative

I think it has a lot more to with getting old and not understanding new social trends, so you just go the other way because it's comfortable

Fair point. I am not.

It's definitely been a weird change. Reddit was comfortable, but it was because I'd figured out how to make my home there a decade ago. Lemmy isn't comfortable. I'm sure it will be fine, but it's just not what I'm used to.

It's a lot like when my favorite Mexican restaurant changed owners and everything was different. It's still a fine place (and the food might actually be better), but it isn't my comfort place anymore.

Same here. I mostly hung out in smaller, hobby subreddits. And the few I've found here are mostly dead. I really want to nerd-out with other people about shit nobody else cares about

Pretty much everybody I ever saw complain about mods was people who cant read the room, and think their opinion is so important or so novel that they should be allowed to voice it in places they clearly weren't wanted.

I was on reddit for 12 years. Voiced some unpopular opinions. Only had one comment removed that I can remember. I somehow managed to move on with my life
