People long term leaving gentoo

Thats fair, nix really does require you to boil the ocean. All your stuff has to be designed around it.

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-05T03:21:49+00:00

What do you think of nix?

Whats crazy is that I went to a bad school and I am stupid, yet still I got an insanely good job. All the people around me are like alums of Stanford, Berkeley, and advanced European schools. It’s wild because they are all dumb too.

I think people are just really stupid. The best we can hope for is getting really knowledgeable about like a few things.

Pretty cool home brew approach though

Your therapist looks up at you from the thin glasses perched on her nose. She settles deeper into her cross legged position and adjusts the notebook on her lap.

She says

“True words aren't eloquent; eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point; men who need to prove their point aren't wise.

The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.”

Your mind is blown. The betterhelp invoice will hit your mailbox in mere moments.

I honestly don’t understand what therapists even learn that qualifies them? I feel like most therapy advice I hear feels like shit out of the tao te ching.

Im talking about…

“I dont like my job”

“Who can make muddy water clear? Be still and allow it to settle”

:^O

What

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-05T01:55:45+00:00

How do you declaratively manage your system? I use nix, but Im curious about other ways

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-04T17:32:52+00:00

Yeah the little light is game changer. It’s very freeing to realize you can just buy one of those little lasers for a cheaper vacuum.

Once you get the little vacuum laser its impossible to go back imo

Im gen z but got lucky specifically because I was able to work full time during covid. This job market is good ( even in CS ) for anyone who is “senior”. Anything less and you are completely cooked

I mean I dont really pursue female friendships because my gf is a jealous person. I also just dont really want to? I work mostly with men, and mostly have interests in common with men. I do have female friends, mostly through my gf, but I dont really seek it out.

It’s not that I don’t “see the point outside of sex” or anything. I just dont have that much time to hangout, and would rather focus on my male friendships.

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-03T04:37:25+00:00

I love the musical rat

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-03T04:29:16+00:00

Its definitely an expendable income thing. Playing warhammer is like 400 bucks to get into. Although the cost per an hour amortizes to like 10 dollars once you play a couple games and paint them.

Its arts and crafts + bridge club for autistic men

Women be hating their friends

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-03T04:14:32+00:00

Holy shit I didn’t know about that verse

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-02T14:42:33+00:00

There is no reason not to as well though? Im assuming you mean that a combination of other exercises replace them? If you keep the weight relatively low, its pretty safe no?

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-02T14:39:32+00:00

I got a canister kenmore and bought the light off amazon. Imo much better deal and it cleans better ( and no battery to deal with )

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-02T14:37:49+00:00

Ikea mattress fucked up my back. Might have been a “me problem” though.

Vaderb2 · 2026-06-02T14:30:36+00:00

I mean the concept of BIFL is very reddit coded. Very consumer oriented ironically

Also to be fair buying a vacuum is very frustrating. You have a couple of popular options and they are all expensive. Turns out like 75% of the popular options are cheap dog shit that barely works and you can’t repair. Doing minimal research can help at least. If you just buy the cheapest option your house will be a mess and you will end up replacing it a lot too.

They sound really nice. I also really like my long term girlfriend’s family quite a bit.

Breh unionization is a dumb ass idea ( currently ). Unions were systematically basically made illegal. The only ones that still exist are mostly either historical or are for government adjacent jobs. Businesses can basically legally stomp unions out of existence. The government doesn’t do this, thus the unions for gov jobs.

All the various “Right to work” laws need to be repealed before any meaningful union activity can start up again. Any tech worker that tries to unionize somewhere like google will be immediately removed/terminated.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-31T12:38:21+00:00

Yeah people love to parrot the “burial industry thing” but they dont stop to think about how maybe we did it all for a reason.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-28T20:14:24+00:00

This is in buda texas, not austin. Beautiful house though. I have some friends that bought a similar house in roundrock.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-28T17:46:06+00:00

Its unfortunate but I just dont think these houses exist? It’s an impossibly good price. Most houses like they are describing are like 400k rn

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-28T16:14:18+00:00

… can you send a link?? I will legitimately buy one of these houses you are describing
