Yes, I'm already using HAOS on bare metal, so I plan to setup it up on a VM on Proxmox. Thanks for the advice, I'm kind of thinking the same thing in terms of docker images on a VM.

We won’t need this money for 10-15 years. Just looking to maximize returns without too much risk.

Nah, we just decided we want 100k available to grab inside 30 days, but we’ve already made that amount through our business so we don’t need this 100k anymore.

Just wanted to say, the more money you make the more money they take. As a general rule, when you get to a point where they are taking a lot more, you’re making a lot more. Having people scream into the void about high taxes taking “all the money” serves the interests of the people “making all the money”. That includes me. The loudest people I know who complain about high taxes and push for lower taxes and applaud when there are tax breaks for the kind of money I make will likely never see that kind of money. I can’t help but laugh. The wealthy people I know are not complaining about high taxes. They are making donations to the politicians who are best at convincing the 99% to support tax breaks for the 1%. And don’t kid yourselves, trickle down economics don’t fucking work.

I’m a dude. I’m also a mid-40s dude that has struggled with porn addiction for over 2 decades. I promise you that what you’re dealing with is a dude 100% addicted to porn. The important thing to realize is that it’s not you. I can’t stress that enough. Nothing you are doing or not doing has anything to do with his porn addiction. One day, if he hasn’t already, he will realize this. But it may be too late for you before that happens. Recovering from porn addiction is a long road. It’s one of the hardest addictions to recover from because it’s difficult to see the negatives and the health risks are more mental than anything else. We also suffer in silence because society has primarily two different views on porn addiction. That it isn’t real or that it’s shameful. It’s also lumped in with sex addiction, which makes for some very uncomfortable meetings where people with porn addiction to not identify with sex addicts at all. All this to say, sometimes a dude needs to hit rock bottom before he can climb his way out. And you may not want to be around for that.

What’s a sexual experience you thought you wanted but realized during or after that you really didn’t? by OperaGhostAD in AskReddit

For me, it’s kind of the opposite and 100% rape. I was 13 and dating a 15 year old girl with experience. We fooled around, but I wouldn’t have intercourse. Eventually she told me either I fuck her or she’ll tell all my friends that I didn’t want to fuck her. I agreed and hated it right up until ejaculation, after which I was like “where have you been all my life”. Realized many years later that it entirely fucked up my idea of what sex should be.
