If you watch closely how most of them are standing and holding the platform above them I doubt they are holding any weight. Most of them have hands crossed, elbows unlocked, or bear the wiight woth neck (heads down) so they are holding nothing. Also some levels are clearly not holding anything from the floor above. So since It can't stand floating, some kind of platform is involved.
My conclusion is they are just standing in an aseathic way over a platform and not carrying any wight.
How do people even spot them?
I guess it is better to spend some little time cleaning up your existing install than doing a fresh one. From what you describe, you just have some leftover configuration files you can delete.
Fresh installs is needed when you messed up your current install with broken packages or missing ones or missing configuration and you just don't know how to clean it up.
So as long as you can clean up your install, just clean it.
I don't eat soup. Full stop.
Yes this is very important.
For spending, calculate your daily spend limit (monthly income divided by 31) and try not to spend anything more than that any given day. If you need to spend more then you have to save that money from thee day before. Do not lend money from future days. Only accumulate from money not spent in the past. For example your monthly income 3100, then your daily spend limit is 100. You cannot spend 150 and hope that tomorrow you will only spend 50. Do it I. Reverse. Today spend 50. If you manage it, tomorrow spend 100. Only if necessary that you can spend 100 + the 50 you saved the day before.
Also try getting rid of the pets. I can't believe you pay insurance for the pet. We do have people that have no insurance even for themselves. I know you love them, but it times are hard. Maybe be give them to someone you know so you can get them back once you are doing better.
You haven't spoken much about food but you have cook your own food and snacks. Do not eat out. Do not but snacks. Your health and pocket will thank you. You can have snacks for really cheap. Just find inspiration in the internet or your relatives.
It is good you have solved you initial issue. However, as you say, your rules are too permissive. You should not publish ports from containers to the host. Your container ports should only be accessible over reverse-proxy network. Said otherwise :3000 should not resolve to anything.
This can be simply acheive by not publishing any port on your service containers.
Here is an example of my VPS:
Exposed ports:
$ ss -ntlp
State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port Process
LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* users:(("sshd",pid=4084094,fd=3))

You can use a black theme. Look at gnome-look.org
You can also reverse engineer them to look how they make the theme blank and apply it to adwaita. This is not complicated as themes are mostly CSS.
Edit to add that you can chat with people from open deskttop (gnome look) to ask your question: https://chat.opendesktop.org/#/welcome
@noclue I guess the dress is just three hundred fifty five dollars.
I guess they say $335,000 with a coma si it is just three hunder thirty five dollars while the interest rate is 6.95% with a dot so it is almost a seven?
Why should the drives be sneakily deposited. If he trusts his relative or friend he may just tell them to keep it safe until new gets out.
However the bigger challenge would be to read the files using newer technology since those drive connectors might get obsolete. Maybe you need to store technology you can read it with. For example an external disk drive with USB 3 cables and Somme USB C adapters. If using internal drives this gets a bit complicated since you would need also some cables and motherboards. So external hard drives would be easier.
Experiment. Apply scientific pro endure for cooking. Just see what people like and what they don't so you adjust the recipe.
