Sorry, I forgot you're the exception to the rule. No one else has ever had to deal with medical issues preventing them from having children, as well as not having a home. You're the main character and everyone else can "fuck off".

I'll let you get back to your little pity party, dealing with the effects of your choices. I hope you can make a nice profit on your current home, since that's clearly what you want.

You're not a cockroach, but you should have considered attempting to move before conceiving. You were in a privileged position, not because you were capable enough to find a decent job, which you are and should be proud of, but that you have a whole home for your family already. No one forced you to add an additional member, and thus feel overcrowded. There are consequences to your decisions.

I'm not comparing you to an oligarch, but you have to understand that many young adults who want to own just their first home simply can't.

One could sit straight if they had some morals to prop themselves up, in the event they don't have a spine.

Oh, wait...

I'll never understand people like this. Most of us will never own a home at this rate. Yet there are folks, who already own their home, who are complaining they can't switch their home like it's some trading-card game. They're part of the problem.

Look at that f u c k i n g fireplace mantel; that used to have class to it's decor. Every administration took pride in giving the Oval Office their touch. Look at Jimmy Carter's office:

Carter had a clean, understated look. Obama and Biden took a lot of inspiration from the Carter administration.

Now our national office looks like it was decorated by a 12 year old boy still clinging onto all of his T-ball participation trophies he "won" over half a decade ago.

Before you say anything, yes, I know this is such a non-issue in the face of all the actual issues being engineered by this technocratic regime, but... I'm tired, boss. I've been screaming about this for years and now the only energy I have left is to pedantically nit-pick the decor choices of US federal administrations. Life is... non-ideal.

What the absolute fuck am I supposed to do with that information?

Nothing. It is culturally-engineered, inflammatory "headlines" meant to overwhelm your emotional response. It is a very common propaganda technique successfully used by big media for decades. Big media is owned by the Bourgeoisie , who very much want you to be tired and conforming.

So the answer is simple: do your best to ignore it. Get your news from a few trusted, un-biased sources and block the rest.

I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

I guess I want to live in outer space. It's pretty quiet up there and I'd imagine it doesn't really smell all that bad.

Can't fucking trust any of them to do the right thing at the right time. It's always because they're too fucking stupid to critically think before shit gets bad. Every single Republican should be removed from Congress, one way or another. They just can't handle the job.

It's not so much an NPC, but the lore behind them: the Keller Tapes from F3. It leaves a lot to the imagination of how horrifying running from an atomic bomb would be.

Edit: it's F3 not F4

I concur. Get the alternator checked. The diode might be giving up the ghost and causing reverse-current, draining the battery even while off.

Why does the car being permium matter?

More electronic systems means higher instantaneous current draw.

Seems like it's perfect for me, no?

Hey, if you get a fine deal on it and it provides all the CCA you need then that's a win in my book. You should still look into trickle charging if not driving the car for more than a week. The battery can get damaged.

Don't waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a "floating" mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

Pet Loss (lemmy.world)
 

I recently lost a very precious family member and I am having a tough time coping. Is there a Lemmy-equivalent community for Pet Loss? I've done a fair amount of searching but haven't found anything active or similar. Apologies if this has been asked for the hundredth time.

 

Currently studying vectors in 3D space and thought this was very interesting. Seems no practical application for the math, but the figures are almost mesmerizing.

Back to the era of Exile, motherfuckers!

The brain child of Zach Householder, this one exemplifies the atrocities one may commit when there is no other choice.

 

By "good" I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

 

I can't seem to understand it. Day in and day out most of us wake up to clock-in for some bullshit product that creates waste and inflates the pockets of some bullshit board member? What the fuck is that? Don't give me the productive member of society rhetoric. How am I creating benefit to the world while simultaneously destroying it? You don't need that new model car. You don't need a smart-oven. Just like the livestock industry, we are born and urged to consume. We keep getting bigger, taller, stronger - but for what? We don't have any actual predatory threats except for ourselves, so why do we insist on strong-arming one another? The convenient excuse of the Human Condition? We developed critical intelligence and dextrous motor skills to engorge ourselves to extinction? Stupid. Stupid. STUPID.

Why does crunching imaginary numbers for a socially-engineered financial index get you "paid" more than feeding your local population, or delivering health-critical mail to someone's front door? Our existence collectively has placed our value in all the wrong places. I suppose Man's need to dominate all things prevails; our planet included. When will we stop raping our soil of cash crops to feed an industry that poisons our wells every day? There is no bastion for any precious material on Earth. Especially so for the hope of future generations.

The worst part? It's that I know I am part of the problem. I don't want to lose my comforts. So, I go back to my bullshit product and make wealth for some bullshit board member. This way, some day, I'll gain that 15% of my actual life to live with a neat variety of health issues to physically limit everything I've wanted to do in life before that moment. All the while, said board member will be able to replace internal organs in order to enjoy their sports yachts for much longer than I can even dream of.

Life is great. Thanks for listening.
