It’s also a symptom of the way American cities and suburbs are designed. Where are the third places where you can walk to for hanging out after work? Where are the parks with restaurants, events, space for exercise? And even if they do exist, you’re packing up your car to be outside maybe once a week (because it’s a big thing to get your kid in the car) instead of just stepping out of the house.

Living life in most of the US is designed to feel lonely.

It’s so asinine for them not to allow side-loading and third-party browser engines outside the EU.

It’s more difficult system administration just for them to maintain control.

I just started using Proton mail’s aliases for that and love it. If I see a bunch of spam coming to one particular alias, I’ll just delete it and make a new one. So far, it’s been great

I have great service with IT people because I do this by default. I’ll have already tried some steps myself, so I’ll give them info about what exactly works, doesn’t work, and things that I can or can’t do that might be related to the main issue.

They really appreciate the detail.

Putting it behind the number makes way more sense though, because you don’t read it as “dollar 15”

So I petition to make it okay to write “15$”

Mushrooms are effectively plants when talking about food.

We don’t ever say the food groups are “fruits, vegetables, and fungus.”

Fucking eating just too much that I can’t meet my weight loss goals.

I’m not overweight by any means, but if I don’t fix my diet, all the exercise I do isn’t worth nearly as much.

It’s the idea that one marginalized group could marginalize another group. I get they may not agree on intricate political ideas, but to be racist while being part of a group of people that is constantly treated as lesser for similar reasons… That baffles me.

So then why aren’t they using ‘五’ to make the tally marks?

Trends are weird.

Bruh, same team, same fight.

How could they not see how hypocritical that is?

Ever Upward to the Middle.

I know for absolutely fucking sure I won’t be at the proverbial “top” of society. But since I moved out of my parents house, I’ve slowly been making my way into a solid middle class, fairly comfortable position. I’m a dad, a husband, a typical working class American and I’m pretty satisfied right now.

So we’ll see, I’ll keep moving up, but I’m not going to break the middle of anything.

And they rightly fucking deserve it.

If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn’t matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.

Generally higher storage sizes too, right? So if you want the max storage, go with 3.5"

I’ve been really enjoying the Proton suite of mail, drive, and VPN. Don’t use proton pass because I have to log in to sites from locked-down systems too often, but the aliases tool in Proton Mail is great.

(Not a paid shill, I pay proton because I want to get away from Google)

Do these people not realize they’re caricatures? That people are laughing at them?

How can someone have so little self awareness

How does the Jeep Wrangler keep it’s value so well? I had to rent one last weekend and it may have been the crappiest car I’ve ever been in. It only had 26k miles on it, and it was the newer hybrid wrangler, but the materials used were crap, the usability was awful, it was so bulky with barely any real space and it was a terrible ride.

On top of that, they’re so expensive. Why does anyone buy jeeps?

Yeah, I would prefer not to use Google, so I’m going to figure out how to use another authenticator. I wish Proton had the ability to be an authenticator, but I haven’t seen a way to do that yet.

But all my family has a Google account, so it just makes things easier.

I just got this working today and can say it’s quite an elegant solution. It means anyone with a Google account (that I allow through Cloudflare settings) can take advantage of immich. I plan to be the storage server for my family so they can have automatic photo backups.

If you decide to go that route and have questions, hit me up. I spent a while troubleshooting issues caused by not creating a SaaS application in Cloudflare, so read the directions exactly.

Here is a man without any hair. He suggests nothing.

Hmm, I’d always understood ellipses to mean a thought was trailing off, or as a written indicator of someone thinking as if taking a pause while speaking.

I was never taught that’s what it means, just seems that’s how most people use it.
