Loading the dishwasher is its own battle.

Que sera! My house is a disaster, and we pick it up once a week only to have it disasterize itself again in a couple days anyway. And we harp on the kids, but in the same way my folks harped on me, so obviously it’s just in my genes and so fuck it.

My house is also spotless if we have people by, but during the week, things just pile up, and we just keep our heads above water.

We both do everything. I just do extra unfucking the dishwasher, I swear when she loads it, it’s as if someone broke into our home and just put shit wherever. Other than that, allllll goooooood.

I think the size thing is the answer to the question. I’m from Jersey so I googled and yeah, two NJ is one Switzerland, so perhaps that’s why America does not have ubiquitous 25Gbit internet, because it is 237 times larger.

And piggybacking of precious comments, completely unnecessary amount of bandwidth. I am fortune, being from Jersey, that as my needs have grown, the service I get has seemingly grown to accommodate my use. I remember using cable back when it came out, and it would bog down hard between 5-7pm, when people got home and used surfed the information highway. Now, I have 300/300 I think, I pay $24.99 a month, I do stuff that utilizes bandwidth, and I never, ever have any issues. I know this isn’t everyone’s experience, but it certainly exists for plenty of folks. Ubiquitous distribution is probably unlikely, especially considering how much of middle America lives (and I mean rural, not like animals).

So it’s apparently feed a cold starve a fever, but I thought the Fs going together sounded better.

Analysis paralysis is real. And it’s funny, I joke that I made a lot of poor decisions as a kid, I was impulsive, did what came to mind, but it all led me to a pretty good life, and so I’m all about just do it and deal with it.

I am not sure that’s a good in idea, but I’ll reassess from my deathbed.

I always said it righty tighty, lefty loosey.

I also said feed a fever starve a cold, which was apparently wrong, so I don’t trust myself.

I haven’t used an LLM, but it’s probably similar to how people could not Google for shit. I always considered myself something of an expert at using search engines, although they’ve gone to shit obviously, and with the advent of AI it seems like they will fade out.

It’s a hypothetical for a reason. Internet off will prevent it. What do?

I spend time with my kids, and to a lesser extent my wife but also her, but mostly the kids. “They grow up so fast,” turns out that was true, and so in an effort to not miss it, I will sacrifice potential earnings to spend more time with them.

And if I think hard about it, the time with them has much more value than some extra money. And is it a risk? Maybe. Maybe my job disappears in 10, 5, 2 years and were fucked, but I’ll figure something out. I just know that my kids will also disappear in 10 years, and I need to make sure that I’ve maximized my time with them, and that I’ve given them the tools necessary to also “figure something out,” because life is hard and it’s always been hard, and it’s a little easier if you’ve got the ability to solve problems.

That and I don’t think too terribly hard about what I eat. I exercise every day, I get my annual physical, and so long as those two things continue, and everything is good, I’m not going to stress over portions and whatnot.

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

I’m not going to comment on the veracity of it all, other than to say that I love that Iran’s nuclear secrets are guarded by shift workers, and that nobody was on the night shift, leaving Mossad a window to get in, torch the safes, and get out, before Allied Security showed up in the morning.

I’m in my late 30s and I run all the time, I’m in great shape, but I don’t even like going out to shows that start at 11 anymore, because I want to be at home before 11, and preferably even earlier. I don’t think it’s entirely to do with taking care of yourself, older body is just old, and I just know I will feel the pain a lot more, and that the reward just isn’t what it was when the expense is high.

Yeah, this is how I used to deal with it. You just eat that stabbing pain for a few seconds and then it’s gone.

I haven’t had this in probably 15 or more years at this point, which seems to be consistent with the syndrome itself being most common in young adults, teens, and children.

I haven’t had it in so many years, but I eventually got to the point where I’d just take a deep breath and it would seem to pop away. It would hurt, but then it would stop.

It’s more common in young adults and children, and I’m approaching middle age here unfortunately, but the upside is no more precordial catch.

Guitar Pro. Ableton. Microsoft Excel.

It’s funny, because things I’ve watched recently have been pronouncing it YOUR-uh-nus, versus your-A-nus. Dunno when we made the change, but 25-30 years ago, it was butthole.

But jokes aside, I want to see something like the Parker Solar Probe, but out. Fastest thing ever created, by a large margin, and second place is the goddamn manhole cover. I’m assuming the science can’t exactly slingshot something straight out like that, wave to Voyager Uno and Voyager Dos, and see what’s happening.

I’m no scientist though, but let’s go.

Yeah, I wake up, morning routine, run, shower, work, small lunch, nap, wake up, afternoon routine, and if I have a night job I shower again. But the exercise really dictates. If I don’t run in the morning I probably save the shower until sometime around 5pm.

Religion can be fine. It is and always has been the idiots who ruin shit, just like with everything. I have churches around me that help the community, are open to all sorts of people. So the leader of one of the largest churches finally doing what he can to denounce nonsense is a step in the right direction for sure.

Unfortunately, the idiots will most certainly be heard.

And that all sounds absolutely reasonable. I’m just having a very different experience on Lemmy, and that’s the main reason why I found it odd, so appreciate your clarification.

And this is not to say I haven’t stumbled upon some shitheads, it’s just the frequency is low enough to be not so noticeable, not something I really put effort into addressing. If it were higher for me, I’m sure I’d find myself doing the same thing you are.
