The Whale.

Very happy to own it, watched it in 4k. Will keep it forever. It will be a very long time until I watch it again. It was amazing, but if you’ve watched it you know why.

I had to teach myself last year that you can be an informed voter and also not constantly not watch the news. With Ukraine I realized I was constantly in a rolling panic attack and I couldn’t get out of it. The news was sensationalized so much. (Not downplaying the events, but they also rolled out experts who talked about how likely nuclear annihilation was and I was not handling that well). I realized it was all to keep me glued to my screen and clicking, and that made me kind of disgusted with them. Here’s a war going on with actual people affected, and they’re worried about how many clicks they’re getting.

I stay informed, I know the issues, but that doesn’t mean I need to be subscribed to /c/news and have a constant feed. I vote in every election, and if there’s something I don’t know I look it up. But I don’t need it daily.

Thanks, on my phone and can’t edit it well right now

Yeah, honestly it’s crazy but I also understand. In Seattle there are some real dumps out there, but the dump isn’t what they’re selling for 170k. That’s just the value of the land. A townhouse on a quarter acre is 500k out here, they probably took a picture of the structure so the buyer knows they’ll have to knock it down

Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I’m tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative...

There’s an argument that art doesn’t need to be good or bad, that art makes us think and discuss. I would argue that this piece has done that, because here we are discussing it.

Another way to think of it is you saying “anyone could do it” , which then the response is “but no one did”

2020 it was just a postcard. They don’t send someone to your house unless there’s a discrepancy or you didn’t fill it out. Anyone could fill it out from your house too, but it should be head of household.

Yeah these would be really good memes if they spread them out over time. Throwing them all at us in 5 minutes just annoys me

Correct, OPs needs is describing what kubernetes was made for. Fault tolerant container orchestration. Or any other orchestration framework.

However it’s a best to learn and get set up. Migrating all of my containers over took a couple of months of learning and trial and error. Each person has to decide is that level of effort worth it in a home application

Unraid is great, I use it daily. I grew past it in some aspects, but it’s a great starter OS.

Agree with other commenter. Don’t discount backups. Unraid is not a backup. Plan to lose all of your data someday.

In America you don’t have the freedom to ask a doctor for their opinion for you and your baby. You have to go through the government first.

Not that having privilege personally is a bad thing either. It’s just opening you up to it, being aware of it. It also doesn’t diminish other negative things you went through.

I’m a white male. I probably have gotten jobs that were helped by that fact. I also grew up dirt poor only affording ramen and rice. One does not cancel the other out, it just adds to who I am.

However now being aware of it I want to move into a position where I can help change things, where I can help hire people not based on their skin color or sex

Way too much credit given. I’d expect 4 paragraphs of churned out garbage before finally seeing 2025

That’s my personal belief as to why. As long as they can think they’re better than someone else they don’t have to actually work on themselves.

Ah I wonder what indicators you use when you first meet people to immediately judge if they are worthy or not. What subtle deep in your mind factors decide if someone deserves it.

You just vote for a party that openly supports doing that.

scrubbles,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Then you shouldn’t just vote republican or democrat, but as an american. I don’t label myself as either one - but over the last several elections the choice has been obviously democrat because of the republicans trying to seize power so much. If they could modernize their platform at all I would think about voting for them - but they’re stuck in the 1950s.

So to cut power stop voting on party lines. Show that you’ll vote based on who has the best ideas, not a simple “I’ll always vote R”

scrubbles,

Exactly. You can say please and thank you all you want, hold doors open for people, smile at them on the sidewalk, but that’s all thrown in the garbage if you aren’t willing to actually do something to help people.

Welfare is a great example - most republicans use the “it’s being abused” line as their go-to reason that it should be scrapped. Being a good person is knowing that it is being abused - but the value of it helping people outweighs the 1ish percent of people who are on it and abuse it.

HAHA WOMEN RIGHT?

Yep. I like computer gear. The worst gifts are some niche crap like weird USB drives that I don’t need. Slightly better are gift cards to Best buy - but really the gear I need you can’t find there.

Socks are universal. Socks are love. Give me socks, then I don’t have to spend my money on socks.

Yeah studios hate this because they want to know how invested people are to know if they should continue. However they made the problem themselves by cancelling so many good shows.

Netflix leaked that if something isn’t crazy popular after season 1 it won’t get picked up again, which is asinine because we all know so many shows don’t get their legs until season 2 or 3

Being a parent is irrelevant. All you have to do is text and say sorry this happened, be proactive not reactive. Something makes you late? Warn people you’ll be late so they can get started without waiting around for you.

What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?

If you contact the customer support of your utility company, phone carrier, bank, or other service provider you’ll likely be flooded with requests to rate the experience and provide feedback. Likewise, corporate websites and email communications often solicit feedback via embedded buttons or links to online forms....

@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

and corporate knows that’s how people think and still grade their employees on it because “you obviously could have done more”. I had one that was “Well the only perfect person was Jesus so you can’t get a 10/10”. Okay but we’re not grading Jesus here Erma, you’re grading me, and my boss isn’t going to listen to that

So many artists growing up I was told it was shameful to listen to, but now fuck all of that. Gonna go listen to some avril myself!
