American dad here. Yes, it’s trash.

Moved to Japan for my son and the difference is night and day. People here are shocked and disgusted when I tell them what I ate for school lunches as a kid.

iPhone with plans to switch to GrapheneOS on a pixel soon.

I’m all for it. Let’s all cut back, invest in batteries and solar panels, and go off the grid.

We just moved out of the US, and we were planning on buying a car in our new home, but we might just do a couple of e-bikes instead. Especially considering our new home gets the majority of its oil via the straight of Hormuz.

I’m already shopping for solar panels.

What I did:

Deleted the app. I still go directly to the subreddit pages I want to see (in a browser), but without logging in, and without ever looking at the home feed.

I haven’t commented on Reddit or used the app in months now. TBH, I’m even annoyed I have to go over there for my niche subs, because I hate the advertisements. I really do enjoy lemmy more than Reddit now.

I’ve set up a few gitlab servers at companies and it’s always been well received. Doing it from scratch may be more complex than you want, but I think there are docker images for a more turnkey type solution. And the option of building CI/CD pipelines in the future is always nice to have.

I was afraid my comment might come across this way, and it appears it has to some. I have not given up at all. I’m actually enjoying life right now more than I have in a very long time, despite all the chaos around us.

When I say “I wouldn’t mind it,” I don’t mean it like “just go ahead and end the misery,” I mean I’m just not super attached to this life. I believe in reincarnation, and that when we die we have a life review and then return to being one with the universe/god/source until our next life. I’m excited to see what the next step is like.

I’m ok with it. I would never end my own life prematurely, because I wouldn’t want to cause my loved ones any unnecessary suffering. But I’m not afraid of death.

STOP CALLING THEM DETENTION CENTERS!

They are concentration camps.

Off the Wagon

“Critics have expressed concerns about possible conflicts of interest“

This is the kind of pussyfooting from mainstream media that allows these blatantly corrupt, immoral, and illegal actions to continue and to escalate.

Just call it what it is: corruption. Plain and simple.

Serves them right for putting that Nazi’s name on the building!

What is a bush baby?

I’m too scared to try it. Maybe when I retire.

I didn’t ever play Blue Burst, but I LOVED the first one on Dreamcast. It was my first MMO experience. I was 14 years old, and my parents had just bought me my own 19” CRT TV for my room.

I ran an Ethernet cable from the living room to my bedroom so I could play PSO online with my friend from school. We would play all night, and then geek out about our items the next day at school.
