be me

live in california

extremely hot lately

out for a walk because i need exercise

taking dirt path

come across a short Mexican man selling fruit with his son

browse his fruits, they're all ripe and juicy

man and son are both just smiling at me

I realize i don't have my wallet

try to explain that i have no money and start to turn to leave

hear them talking in rapid-fire Spanish

then the man hollers "Senor! quieres uva?"

don't know what "uva" is but i say yes

he hands me a bunch of green grapes like picrel

i try again to say i have no money

then the son says "he know, he say you look hungry" in broken english

thank them over and over

eat the grapes on my walk

literally the best grapes i've ever eaten

if i ever see them again i'm going to pay them 5x the cost of those grapes. thank you senor uva

(A 4Chan "green-text" titled "Bug Bro", with a photograph of a praying mantis)

15 year old daughter suddenly got an extreme interest in mantises

decide to buy her one

she cares for it like a baby, honestly surprised at her responsibility over her pet

she wants me to hold it but I don't wanna

eventually she wears me down and I do it

the damn thing looks me in the face

when it's not focused on the tricks she makes it do (jump from hand to hand, etc)

daughter tells me it can eat all sorts of meat

what the hell

feed it a piece of steak

IT EATS IT FROM MY HAND

have been bonding with the mantis ever since

I never thought I could get this invested in a bug.

my mom left school at 16 due to poverty

never showed much interest in books, music etc

retired last year

has since been reading through all the books I left in boxes at home

her enthusiasm for reading is so pure l feel bad for not enjoying reading that much these days

she kept asking me if I was writing a book and said she could "never do that"

picked up the hint and encouraged her to give it a go, without getting my hopes up

that-feeling-when she sent me a story she wrote about two rabbits who become friends

that-feeling-when it made me cry and feels more honest than anything I've written

How to cope with this feel bros?

l love my mum so much.

(A 4Chan "green-text", with a picture of Pepe wiping a tear from his eye)

in highschool

decide to give the quiet kid a chance, he seems alright

my friend and i approach him

"hey dude yeah wassup u alright"

he has like no one to talk to he gives in

6 months go by, we are talking like usual

since i like to talk to lots of different people, people always come to talk to me

also, since quiet kid has no one he just kinda sticks by me most times

overtime, we talk less; other people see that he is likeable and hang out with him at school

eventually, we stop talking

no problem, my main intention was for him to have friends anyway

fast forward months later

schools ended

check his instagram story

its him and his friends from our old highschool hanging out

see it quite frequently now

proud of him

mission passed, glad that he actually has friends now

Definitely doesn't deserve a permanent ban imo, I don't think they were trying to cause offence.

The modlog says it was the sh.itjust.works automod. The comment content didn't contain any keywords that could have tripped it, so I'm not sure why it would have been set off. Maybe the automod is set to permanently ban recently created accounts that have a significant number of downvotes.

Maybe Boost doesn't display that it's been removed? When a comment is removed, Lemmy stills sends the content of the comment to the frontend - it's up to your client to not display the content. The comment is definitely gone on the website frontend.

I didn’t remove it; the instance admins (the modlog says “automod”) did. They also got permanently banned from sh.itjust.works, apparently. I personally don’t think it was that bad - it sounds more like misunderstanding or ignorance than intent to cause offense. You’re welcome to look at the modlog to see what it said

It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.

I'm aware of this - unfortunately, Lemmy doesn't allow transcription of the post image in this way, as it isn't part of the post body markdown. In Lemmy 0.19.4 or 0.19.5 (I'm not sure which) they added an actual alt_text field to posts for this (see here). Once sh.itjust.works updates to that version, I'll start using that field :D

Dating a blind girl

All of her friends are blind

Love that she holds my arm when we're out

Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself

Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.

Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn't bother me

Love that she doesn't use the internet because it's too much hassle

Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.
