I literally have to apologize for being white every singe day. At work? Apology. At the store? Apology. With my spouse? Apology.

It’s like a white man in America can’t get a fair shake in America as a white man! /s

Btw, some people are really stupid.

Virtualbox is free. I hate it, but it definitely works at no cost. VMware Workstation is also free.

Edit: without double-checking to make sure I’m saying it correctly, you probably want to avoid a bridged network and assign one of the other types of network adapters for separation of network devices, but you’ll have to search the terminology to find details.

I’m a Proxmox user and this is the wrong use of it. Proxmox is for hosting multiple VMs, not a solution for needing one.

To see a video of this terrible lady (one of the very first Karens on the internet), search “barbecuing while Black.”

Creeper.

I take deliberate breaks from stuff like Lemmy and the news. I only came back here after a multi-month break this month. It works.

Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.

Good thinking. High risk. Impressed that you thought ahead to avoid the risk. I like the home entertainment suggestion, but you could also use the extra cycles to run containers or VMs in the background. I know you said you already have a server, so I’m trying to think what else would provide utility. Nice find, hope you come up with some fun projects.

Search for github repos of dotfiles and read through people’s shell profiles, aliases, and functions. You’ll learn a lot.

Smoking. Quit for seven years and picked it back up. Worst decision of my life. Was cutting back on vaping to quit when the pan happened. Allowed myself the vice for stress. Don’t plan on trying a third time. Too much effort.

I’m sure it’s in the terms and conditions, hence uploaders have no recourse. If not, it’s surely a violation of copyright, at least in the USA where copyright is automatically granted when a work is created.

One solution would be for people to stop uploading to Google platforms until this practice is halted and made opt-in, but that won’t happen. Too many people depend on YT to survive. And lots more desperately want to make it big there.

I feel pretty comfortable asking questions IRL because over many years I’ve had two friends who are openly Trans. But I want to show some support for the community, so here we go:

A train leaves the station at 9pm… 😆

Love and Respect.

I found a jackoff aid like this in my roommate’s closet when I was looking for his weed when I was 19.

I was speaking about a hypothetical third person, but you misread it and made it as though I was making these decisions. I don’t have children and make no decisions about diaper bags. And ye, I’m hyper different from assholes who wear camo, drive trucks, or buy black rifle coffee. Fuck every one of them.

No, really. Click through.

Not at all. But it’s stupid to carry a camo bag while you do it.

I think all people who wear camo look stupid and I’m not afraid to say it. Kinda like how I know I don’t want to engage with anyone wearing an American flag tshirt. Fuck all of them.

Also, yes. A pink diaper bag is a great way to telegraph that you aren’t afraid of what others think. Or maybe that you care so much that you chose pink, but at least that’s not indicative of a bizarre respect for combat and war.

I can’t imagine an accessory screaming, “I’m insecure in my masculinity!” any more than this.

We have some platform-specific tooling. I might attempt it if they didn’t let me have a Mac at work (I remote into Win for the couple of proprietary things anyway). There’s that saying, you miss all the shots you don’t take. Go for it and see.

Aha, I see. My friends lived in North Hollywood at the time. I really don’t know the layout or anything beyond that. But the county being huge sounds familiar and would make sense if this varies a lot.
