  • My MIL: "They better not be singing the 'black national anthem' again."

    Me: "I know, right? I don't understand why some people think they need to sing hymns at the super bowl."

    My MIL: Visible confusion

  • Hit the nail on the head. American culture has become increasingly apathetic and cynical in recent years. There's a lot of factors at play but I would say the concentration of wealth and resulting decline of the middle class as well the erosion of a sense of community are two key factors behind this.

  • Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.

    At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.

  • I would advise against it. Separation of concerns isn't important until it is. If your host server is unavailable for any reason, now EVERYTHING is unavailable. Having your server go down is bad. Being unable to browse the internet when your host is down and you're trying to figure out why is worse.

    There are also risks involved in running your firewall on the same host as all your other VM's without adding a lot of complex network configurations.

  • Back at a time when I naively worked 80+ hours every week, I had a doctor lecture me about slowing down saying, "if you want to have a heart attack at 50, keep doing what you're doing."

    Naturally, I ignored that advice. What made me stop was the realization that my employer did not care about all the nights and weekends that I gave up for them. It was totally meaningless to them. Just as meaningless as OP's nights and weekends are to their boss.

  • She said she made Instagram, tiktok accounts and whatever for all of them as soon as possible so they have the "good" usernames and it's their birthday present when they turn 12.

    Geez. No better birthday present than an impending mental health crisis. My wife and I watched, with regret, what early access to smart phones and social media did to our oldest and decided that her younger siblings can buy their own smart phones when they're adults. Not going to repeat that mistake.
