If there is one thing I loathe with every fibre of my being, it's broadcast radio.

As of yesterday, the workers on the construction site across from my rental have taken to carrying a portable radio with them. It's loud enough that I can hear it through my closed windows at 30m distance. If I open my windows, I can clearly hear what the talking heads are saying.

This is NOT helping me get through my day.

I hate the overusage of the word "opinionated" in the software world in the past 4-5 years. I get it, it's your app, it's your way of configuring things. Fuck your opinionated thing!

I’m feeling grateful, because my partner and I each got commissioned today and get to stay inside this week. But grieving for today being ten years since my grandma died. She was a light and it feels like my whole life has fallen apart in these ten years.
The suicidal feelings are worse now in this wave of grief.
I came out privately as trans first at 7, then publicly at 15, months after my grandma died.
I’ve been in pain for years, wishing I could have a breast reduction before knowing top surgery was a thing. I tried to get surgery at 18, then the funds I raised had to be used in an emergency to keep me sheltered; I got a van and lived in it. Went across the country to Massachusetts so I could get top surgery. Everything fell apart again and my life centered around supporting my partner through the abusive situation she was in. Now I’m 24 and the depression gets worse every day, the pain has progressed from chronic pain to having painful lumps in my breast tissue as well. I am not in a “stable enough” situation to get Medicaid approved top surgery if I even had insurance, and am at the point where I’d rather deal with this weekly shelter while recovering from somehow getting top surgery than deal with the suicidal ideation that feels constant.
I am asking you to please share the fundraiser. You don’t have to boost this post, but I’m not against that. Any support is meaningful and helpful. Please send kindness. Thank you

I'm very sad today. A friend group that I have outgrown has planned a girls trip without me. My only friend that lives close to me is my husband. He's my bestie, but I want more.

Now taking applications for besties. Number one requirement is living in Roanoke VA.

I'm worried Trump will try to ban Lemmy.

The automated recording, when I make a call, even with the volume turned down: PLEASE HOLD! YOUR CALL IS VERY IMPORTANT!

The hold music: 🎶 DOO-DEE-DOO-DOO!!!🎶

The person I need to actually talk to, even with the volume turned all the way up: *Whisper whisper whisper* time *static whisper whisper* appointment *whisper whisper static*

Why does it seem like anytime I make a call anymore, robotic voices and hold music are unnaturally loud but human voices, which are what I actually need to hear, are so soft an static-y?

Is this just me and my auditory processing issues? Or have other people noticed this as well?
