Was just calling out something to think about at least

I mean, there’s a 99% chance this is running in a container, and so worst case you kill that specific container, which is immediately spun up again

I’d only be worried if they were willing to send it to collections, that can hit your credit. Even a small thing can fuck up your credit

Nothing like a good power trip from the admins. Even if mods are power tripping people can make a new community. This was a bad response by admins, they bowed to only the most vocal minority. Vast majority of people have been fine with the moderation on .world. only classy thing to do is to take it back and play it off like it was a trial run that didn’t work out

Don’t forget one of our largest cities is currently on fire because of our own man made climate change that we are (I believe) the number one cause of, but those same leaders are telling us to shrug and say “who knows why”

BLM is a great example. I remember being so mad, and wanting something to change, and there was a huge, massive cultural shift for it. I remember thinking how if everyone would unify behind one thing, we wanted one systemic thing to change - demilitarization of the police as an example, we could probably have done it. Everyone chanting and demanding the same one thing. Then we move onto the next, and the next, and the next.

Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded. There was no way anyone was going to see a list that large and just say “Yup okay we’re on it”. But people wouldn’t budge, their thing was the most important, it was all or nothing - and so that’s what we got. Nothing. We could have had some huge systemic change there and instead nothing happened.

Occupy, BLM, protests, they’re all well and good but they depend on people unifying. This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now. It won’t encompass everything. It won’t be perfect. But it’s progress. Instead we just go back and forth, and they know all they have to do is wait out the outcry until people get bored and they move on, so we can keep the status quo.

6 months of all of your expenses in a high yield savings is number one. Good times are great, take it from me though, tomorrow they can stop and you’ll be back to zero income, when that happens you’ll be happy you have that savings.

After that, investing. Very easy to get into, if you don’t want to get in right now you can just put the money in CDs and then swap it over to the market later. Not individual stocks, I’m talking index funds and ETFs, things that track the overall market, not a specific company. Then just set it and forget it. Don’t check it daily or weekly, just let it sit and make you more money.

Treat investing as just another expense, that has the lowest priority. As Warren Buffet says, pay yourself first. So first pay your bills, then your savings, then with what ever is left as the other commenters said, set aside X amount for fun play money (and it’s good to have a number for this, that number can spiral if you don’t control it, all of a sudden you just spent 2 grand on a GPU you didn’t need), and then put in your Y amount into investing. When times are good it is good to set everything you can for the future. You’ll be happy when times aren’t so good.

I talked with friends in the midwest after the 3rd consecutive year with worst storms on record. “Yeah okay they’re bad, but there’s not a pattern or anything, it was just a bad storm.” THREE. CONSECUTIVE. YEARS. People for fucks sake maybe, just maybe this stuff is connected?!

You’re lucky if you haven’t come across them. I saw a question of “When will there be peace in ukraine” and I apparently had the hot take of “Putin could pull out tomorrow and there would be peace” and they just went feral. How could I, obviously I’m brainwashed, I’m stupid american. Of course that’s how I think about most armed conflicts, a great way for peace to happen is for the aggressor to just… not be there? Guess I’m brainwashed idk.

How dare you, have some compassion, now is NOT the time to talk about Global “Warming” or whatever conspiracy you’re hawking today. Our thoughts should be with the people, we should be sending thoughts and prayers, and you just want to make it all “political”.

OBVIOUSLY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY’RE A BUNCH OF HEATHENS

Oh yeah. We’re doing fine as a country. The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified. We’re stupid dumb monkey brained though and can’t think of anything beyond “I got mine”

hatred, anger, fear.

Yup I have. However, in a weird way I’m becoming more grateful for what I have, and my family/friends. I did realize I had become very dependent on new media and new things, and this is surprisingly making me a bit less materialistic.

Movies are shittier, so why am I spending money on them. New games are shittier, why am I paying day one prices? I can wait a few months for the new graphics card when it’s cheaper, or any hardware. It’s funny, I’m actually paying less now than I ever have, my budgets are low, and it’s all thanks to them being so greedy and demanding.

Yes, yes you really should

that’s what I’m worried about for mine, they’ve become addicted to the slop

how would you recommend pitching it? I know all the sweet unix/linux things, and freedom and such, but how would you pitch it in a way that your parents would care about?

Remember, according to their followers California deserves this for being heathens. Not the flood in NC though, or the hurricane in FL. Those are just flukes, but anyone in CA deserves it according to them. Even this guy.

If I’m reading your link right, they are using user agents. Granted there’s a lot. Maybe you could whitelist user agents you approve of? Or one of the commenters had a list that you could block. Nginx would be able to handle that.

Exactly how I feel. I did what I could. I voted, I encouraged others to vote, I informed myself and others of the issues. I voted to help those in need and to bolster protections for those in need - even at my own expense. Then over half the country voted against their own interests. Ironically, financially the policies I expect to be put in place will probably help me, but I worry for our country. But what else am I supposed to do now? People who voted for this or didn’t vote (and in my mind that’s just a lazier way of voting for what happened), well, I wish them luck if they needed those programs. I feel for everyone who voted for them and are looking at having them taken away.

I think you’re correlating people who have stopped engaging with people who don’t care.

I have panic attacks when I think about the state of our world. I block out most posts that trigger me. If I didn’t, I’d be a nervous wreck sitting in misery if I didn’t. That doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s happening, I’m very aware and I keep up, but I’m also not going to have a constant feed of anxiety forced in my face.

We used to be informed if we read a daily newspaper. Don’t confuse “refusing to have constant anxiety” with privilege.

Until you have a bad config as the other commenter pointed out and miss a critical email like an interview or medical item
