Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?

  • Paying more for good quality tools to fix things properly can seem like a luxury initially, but they're worth it when you're 10 years down the line and still able to use the same set as if they were brand new.

  • That's so cool. I'd never heard of it before. Please someone in the homebrew community has to work on this

    • What is something you've done that you believe very few other people have done? Only one caveat: it can't be cool or jealousy-provoking.

    Jump

  • Well done. That's a decent effort. I can't imagine being so motivated when I was that age.

  • Surely the bigger issue is that even if you have 1000 kids to vaccinate, there are 10,000 parents who don't believe measles is anything to be worried about?

    The NIH believes 7% of Americans are anti-vax, so in Texas that 10,000 is more like 2.1m.

  • Musk also mocked people who criticized the order on X, noting that workers could respond by asking an AI chatbot — such as Grok, owned by X — to create a list of accomplished tasks.

  • This was years ago. But I've never been much into the bars and clubs scene. I remember at the time just feeling isolated and alone. I didn't like spending 8-12 hours every day without any connection to anyone. Along with an extremely high pressure work environment, I was breaking down into tears on my way home most days.

    I did it to myself so I was able to open up and find ways to connect to the people around me once I changed my attitude.

    I also found some solidarity. It started as just a few complaints about how things were run but eventually I joined the union who helped me recoup a bunch of stolen wages.

    • A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to?

    Jump

  • I don't find it odd. Even with Vatican II in 1962-65 transforming the role of the pope to a more ecumenical approach, the role is still one of a world leader. It's similar to how those same politicians consult with the Dalai Lama. There's realpolitik reasons for political world leaders to be seen consulting them as 'world leaders' that have nothing to do with the actual religions.

  • Really insightful comment. I did not understand OPs perspective at all but it feels like you've hit the nail on the head.

    When I first joined the work force I had this idea that 'I was there to do a job not make friends.' but that attitude made me miserable

  • Nah man sorry. You're just wrong in this case. You're missing the forest for the trees.

    Communism was the conspiracy. China. Vietnam. Laos. Cuba. Yemen. Somalia. Congo. Mozambique. Afghanistan. These were the countries succumbing to the worldwide conspiracy he was talking about.

    Not to forget that Kennedy increased US involvement in Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism. He sent more troops and military advisers to South Vietnam to fight Ho Chi Minh's forces. His brother also served under McCarthy as his father was a major ally and raging anti-communist.

    Also regarding religion, Kennedy was a devout Catholic, which was a massive issue for him during the election, giving him good reason to try and dissuade people from considering it as an issue for him. Back then Catholics were often questioned on their loyalty, with people concerned that the president would be answerable to the pope. Crazy I know.

  • You're not going to like this answer but he didn't say Soviet Union because he didn't need to. Everybody understood that 'communism' was 'THE Global Conspiracy' ever since McCarthyism took of.

    Check out A conspiracy so immense : the world of Joe McCarthy by David Oshinsky to learn a little of what the attitude of the time was like.

    Also sorry for the previously snippy response.
