Tristaniopsis, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

At 53 with a partner and two kids, I am currently in deep, deep depression wishing that I’d married the girl I split up with at 24.

LaserTurboShark69,

Do you miss the 24 year old girl or do you miss being 24?

Tristaniopsis, (edited )

The girl, who is now about 49 with two kids.

I’m fine with being oldish. I’m a much wiser and less impulsive person.

pigup,

oof

Custodian1623,

no shame in therapy if you haven’t been

Tristaniopsis,

I’ve been for other issues but it’s more or less all the same: “pull yourself together, stop XYZ”

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Tristaniopsis, (edited )

Thought about turning it off, plenty of times. Off. Right off. Like unplugging it completely.

Baphomet_The_Blasphemer,

Well, for whatever it’s worth, this internet stranger is happy you’re still here. As long as you’re here, it can get better.

Tristaniopsis,

Thanks Baph!

mothar,

I think I may have just gone down the same path and im scared I may have the same realization one day.

Why did you guys split up back then?

Tristaniopsis,

Me being an impulsive dork and dumping her for a far less intelligent girl with bigger breasts who didn’t even really happen even. That was it. Game over. She wouldn’t take me back.

TBH I should’ve ended myself then but was too stupid to even realise that was the better option than living another 20 years without her. Still… I wouldn’t have wanted to hurt my parents. Been distracting myself ever since with lots of other stuff. Can’t do it now because of my kids, and mother still alive. Dad fucked in head with dementia. Oh well. Keep trudging on and now have Lemmy to make stupid comments on. Yay.

If the documentation is on discord, there is no documentation. Documentation has to be freely available, otherwise it doesn’t count.

JasonDJ,

Friendly reminder that open source projects don’t just need coders contributing to them.

Technical writers are very appreciated.

Theharpyeagle,

I’m trying to get my feet wet in FOSS by making small doc PRs since I’m way too scared to actually touch code. It’s not fun, but it is satisfying.

Pika, to linuxmemes in Never again

It’s actually quite worrisome, many projects exclusively have their troubleshooting or support on Discord now what’s going to happen years down the road when all those Discord servers have closed or no longer active and the invite links expire this is going to be a vast knowledge base that’s just lost to the world

zv0n,

I see your point, but couldn’t you say the same thing about any forum?

“What happens when the forum shuts down? All threads discussing issues gone forever”

Evotech,

The web is on archive at least

Hootz,

This is why going back to the moon is so hard, when msn groups closed back in the early 1970s we lost alot of very precious knowledge.

Is this a joke?

Rozauhtuno,
@Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes, obviously.

Everyone knows the moon isn’t even real.

Bondrewd,

No, there was MSN in the 70s but communication was made through a machine called Microtron. They are largely lost to the world due to being made from degradable PCB plates.

clutchmatic,

That’s why FOSS ends up forking and forking

Bondrewd, (edited )

Imagine “stealing” a project just because you can write sensible documentation.

clutchmatic,

Another way to think about this is that those projects that have a more structured approach to documentation have a better chance at lasting longer, attracting more contributors, and making more lasting impacts

wolfshadowheart,

Is it stealing if it’s been dead for 30 years? Or is it modernizing it?

Bondrewd,

What? We are talking about discord documented software.

Theharpyeagle,

If it’s open source and the license allows it, I wouldn’t consider that stealing. If a fork gets more popular than the original, then it either addresses a major missing feature of the original or is simply more active. If this displeases the original dev, they can hopefully work it out with the maintainers of the fork. This is a feature of FOSS, not a bug.

Dicska, to lemmyshitpost in anvil posting

Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that “I’m not telling you where I am” circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.

Not an uninteresting idea and potentially true but without researching it, just speculation.

JigglySackles, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

Maturity plays a much more important role than age. Some people are never fit to marry, some have what it takes by the time they are 16/17. It’s not often that it plays out well for the youngest ones, and since each year brings new experiences and understandings each year moves along the bell curve of “marriage readiness”. So is it more likely that a 24 year old is more ready for marriage than a 18 year old. Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. I know some 50/60 year olds that still aren’t ready for marriage. They just never learned the skills it takes to have a healthy marriage. Giving an age as a hard cutoff is too arbitrary a measure. Age doesn’t guarantee shit.

TakuWalker,

That’s it, end of thread. Maturity plays such an important factor it’s astonishing it’s not the first thing being discussed instead of an arbitrary number.

24yo people don’t see themselves as children. This post is probably coming from a 40yo person.

Lightfire228,

As a 27yo, I’m still trying to figure out how to better organize myself. I was one of those kids that never had to take notes in school

And now that’s coming back to bite me, because I’m completely new to note-taking, but am working on large 20yo code bases with tons of tech-debt and spaghetti madness. Along with tons of technical jargon in a completely different field. I just can’t keep all that in my head anymore

The point is, i feel like an adult in certain aspects, and a child in others

like 4 donuts

4??

peopleproblems,

Yeah. the donut I have here is about an inch and a quarter long. I’m in the upper percentile so I figured I wouldn’t use my size, so that round that down and 4 should be like 80%

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

i never measured a donut but I would swear it’s taller than that

peopleproblems,

I… would measure it, but I’m out of donuts. I’ll pick one up for the sake of a shitpost

zzx,

Pretty sure I could fit like… Two… And I think I’m bigger than average? Doughnuts are just way bigger than this. 4 is a huge amount of doughnuts. You’d need like, a 10 inch cock

peopleproblems,

Nah man, the ones I just posted top at 6" and some. I doubt most will fit in it though, I certainly dont

zzx,

Shit bro, you did the analysis… Can’t argue with results like that

peopleproblems,

It’s why I do it. These are important things that we should understand fully when discussing them

lightnsfw,

You know, not what I was thinking, but I can see how it falls within the bounds of my statement.

It’s a play on the “she let me run hot wheels over them titties” meme. Just doing increasingly goofy shit with your partner’s body.

What happened to simply hitting a line off her bum? Kids these days…

dudinax, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

If you know you want to marry and have kids, and you know who you want to marry, it’s weird to wait, especially since you can avoid being a creaking old person who still has young kids.

kandoh,

What you think you know when you’re in your early twenties and what you absolutely know in your early 30s are very different things.

You’ve still got too much of leftover juice from puberty until you hit 27.

PeterPoopshit, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in anvil posting

For $1000, I wonder if someone could rig together a very shitty way of making low quality anvils out of garbage like aluminum or very shitty steel/cast iron and pass it off as a “real anvil” that I found in the dump or something.

That would be a lot of work of course but in today’s economy and job market, a huge amount of effort just to get $1000 isn’t necessarily a waste of time especially if you can do it multiple times before they find out.

mojofrododojo,

talking to blacksmithy friends - that’s kinda what amazon / harbor freight are doing with their shitty anvils already.

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think they say $4 per pound of steel is reasonable so you could probably run a harbor freight scheme and clear them out.

Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:

surfrock66,
@surfrock66@lemmy.world avatar

That’s rad, and you did an amazing job keeping them whole. Recently I have been wrapping them in cloth, then the kids form clay around them for various fridge and office magnets.

Fuck_u_spez_,

That’s a good idea. Yeah, the trick I discovered in getting them off the mounting bracket without the chrome plating peeling is to grab each end of the bracket with vice grips and/or pliers (after you unscrew it from the drive) and just bend it down and away from the magnet. They usually come off in one piece that way, too.

surfrock66,
@surfrock66@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve done some of that, recently I have an old putty knife and I will put it right against the crack and just hammer it which will unstick it enough that I can pull it off. Newer drives definitely have weaker magnets than some of my much older ones.

DontNoodles,

Cool, I’ll try this next time. So far the least damaging way I’ve tried is putting the thing in hot water. The magnet and the base expand by different amounts and it is relatively easy to pry the magnet off. But the thing cools down quickly so it takes a few tries.

feedum_sneedson,

Wow it looks like a light sweeper

BastingChemina,

I was doing some blacksmithing in high school, mostly knifes.

When reaching 800°C steel is not magnetic anymore, it’s also a good temperature to start forging the steel. So I needed a atrong magnet to know when the steel was hot enough, I used what I have available: a hard drive magnet.

It felt quite “mad-maxy” to disassemble a broken hard drive to use it as a tool to forge knifes
