A soup.
I’d rather know nothing. Ignorance is bliss. A lot of people here will disagree and that’s okay.
Learning more has only ever brought me anxiety. I’m not enlightened by knowing how lots of things work. It stresses me out. The big picture it paints isn’t a happy one or one that makes me feel safe or comfortable.
I was happiest when I was a toddler/ young child. I was a miserable teenager and horrific adult. I want to be dumb very dumb.
I’m doing my best to do exactly what you do. For over a decade I’ve been glued to the news and it leaves me anxious and bitter and wanting to retreat from society. It’s hard. Feels like there’s some sort of dopamine addiction, but for anxiety? I can’t stop looking away from the trainwreck.
Likely. The federal government has SharePoint sites with information gathered about journalists and other activists who are pro immigration. To my knowledge, these individuals have not officially been disappeared.
Ya but I don’t wanna win :(
Same except my dad was a PhD who never could get tenure anywhere because he has malignant narcissism and makes every workplace he goes to toxic.
I came out as bi to her and then she thought me and my girlfriend wanted to sleep with her…
Her and I were close friends and confided in each other about depression, traumatic upbringings, and all sorts of stuff. I tell her in confidence that I think I’m bi and it’s something I struggled with all my life and only came to realize it then. She’s supportive because she’s pansexual and comes from a religious conservative background.
She asks me how my then girlfriend was taking it and I said she was excited because now she may get to have mmf and mfm threesomes. She says she thinks that’s really cool and asked if that meant we were open in the relationship so I said ya.
Fast forward a month or so later, she invites us all over to her place to hang out and smoke weed and chill and sleep over so we stay on the couch and she sleeps in her bed after a fun night. The next day she texts me that she’s not used to people treating her nicely and she thought she picked up vibes from both of us about wanting to sleep with her (???) and that she wasn’t comfortable with that.
We’re both shocked at this point because both of us had no intention of that and just wanted to chat, have weed, and talk about life and joke around and have fun. I tell her that this wasn’t our intent and that I’m really sad to hear that she felt that way from our actions and that we just wanted to enjoy her company since (I thought) we all had fun.
She went no contact pretty abruptly afterwards and 4 years later I’m still salty about the whole thing. I feel like I should not have shared that part about myself :(
Thank u this post was making me way too sad about my lil guy with renal failure. Now I can think about this lil guy with regime failure instead.
That’s awesome!
Damn how does one amass 60 users? That’s a big ass family
I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)
“How do I convince my tech department to take on additional tech debt”
My bad. I’m so dumb that I see a shelf UPS and I assume this is some advanced network shit. I have an old gaming pc and a mini pc as 2 nodes in my home network.
O I like this. Had my DM thought of this I would have succeeded in my first attempt at calling an Orc into the bathroom with me to “help me out with my orc problems”.
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
Wand of paralyzing. Just tell them that. Then, when they get to use it, they find out that the wand actually just paralyzes itself and just floats in the air doing nothing. DM got me good there just as I had to perform a spell on a guard. Had to aggressively improvise afterwards.
My first proxmox containers with Pihole, Nextcloud, and all sorts of others were from him. Legend. Naming my Nextcloud instance after him.
In the industry I work in, they can legally do anything to you because our work exists outside of the Canadian Labour Code. This includes give you $0 paycheques for months and expect you to keep doing your job until it’s fixed, which can take 3 months to a year.
My workplace has a defined benefit pension and they announced that all employees will be losing this pension (even those who are a couple years from retirement).
We will be switched over to a defined contribution pension and our previous contributions will be converted retroactively.
I don’t foresee this new pension lasting more than 5 years before they cut it completely. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they’re able to keep our pension contributions retroactively, fucking everyone over.
I’m reasonably tech savvy. All my personal computers run Linux, I have a 2-node proxmox homelab with 10+ containers and virtual machines running self hosted services. I can hack other people’s code together from web searches to sometimes make things work.
I had to do a few web searches to figure out how to sign up and get started on Mastodon. If it was a bit of a challenge for me with my listed tech skills, it’s insurmountable to the average user in the general public.
To you, learning is obviously a major drive in your life. To others, it’s the exact opposite.
