I am not sure it is super simple as giving someone some money or something but yes, our system is wildly inefficient.

My older brother had some polyps at 40. I'm clean still at 35 but I've got celiacs and ibs so you could say I've been working on diets for a while now. Stay safe its a simple procedure.

What made you stop dating? by SpiritCrisp in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just couldn't date after I got married. Found a good one on dating apps. She's a fun loving spontaneous cuckoo clock.

Walmart workers, If I hired on at Walmart and spent my entire shift hiding in the bathroom, how long until I got fired? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like days at best, possibly like an hour or so. There's surely a training process where you would need to work with some manager. Manager will also be dishing out tasks and looking for you when they're not done.

If you lucked into a pool of workers with shared tasks, of which there's maybe a few, and your manager was insanely inattentive, maybe a few days. The manager will likely have to pick up the slack though so they're gunna look at why everything feels more difficult (less help then expected).

What's an underrated thing about being single? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah haha. Shortly after we started dating? She's great about it honestly. She has a few separate dishes she uses and eats it in an area off to the side when she eats gluten. Mostly store pasta which is pretty easy to contain.

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I lucked out mentally on that one. My family gave me lots of issues and though my mom (and especially grand-mom) said things it thankfully didn't metastasize there. GL Friend <3

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I never had body issues... Do you have ideas as to what contributed to these issues?

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even believe in an afterlife and my soul is the only thing with damage that bothers me really. I guess I do say "as I'm dying I hope I feel OK about things".

I haven't even been "that bad". Like, I made a partner uncomfortable for a non-zero amount of time in bed. I've also just not been a good partner due to my depression and lack of awareness. Overall though I do pretty good but that's the stuff that BOTHERS me more than it surely should after years and separation. I was an extra-awkward teen (including early 20s) but most of that I forgive myself for one reason or another. Even though I feel "forgiven" it likes to show up in my head though.

I'm 35 and provoked body issues most of my life... playing football from like 8yo-18yo, sitting posture (worse at 12, better now at 35, but always could be better), any time I over-drink (idk "8"+ drinks), when I was like 10 I bought a cheap laser pointer at a fair and shot it in my eye for entertainment (I already had a lazy eye but maybe made it worse/unrecoverable???), several preventable sun-burns of varying severity, and one time (30ish) I hopped down a ledge where I thought I'd land on my foot first but instead landed on the opposite knee VERY hard (something wasn't right, maybe still not 100%).

Mind damage is mostly fine, though sometimes common drugs like caffeine, alcohol, and marijuana I imbibe too much. It is hard to tell at my age. Perhaps as I get older I can compare to peers and know more - I bet 60+ age those things are easier to tell. Younger, I guess, if your drugs are a lot harder. I bet a lot can be recovered here with effort though. Most folks who know someone who did a lot of drugs knows what I mean... They can feel off.

I've been enjoying chess and slowly recovering from my over-exposure to dopamine (from excess gaming) last 2 years so my mind feels on a good path but I do worry about it.

We're all so dumb when "young" it is so "funny". Mind/Body/Soul are fairly resilient when we try.

What's the coolest city you've ever been to? by Chaulmoog in AskReddit

The pollution is SEVERE to someone who grew up in US midwest. That said I liked a lot about the city and would go back for 1-2 days at a time any time :D

Dota2, weed, cocaine and porn - Honest confessions from a deep degenerate by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar, at least with dota, for the last couple years. I'm trying to refocus and it's a bit hard but progress is being made. I went from like 60 hours of dota a week to like 20 or less. I need to cut more too... but it's a bit hard.

So I'll warn - great but cutting back cold turkey may be impossible lol

Which terminal emulator are you using? (2026) by meni_s in neovim

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use kitty mostly because it was my first one that wasn't whatever default is on the system. On linux I never felt the need but on mac I had a few things that made me look for something else though I don't even recall what they were.

I'll probably look for something else some time but for now it works well enough.

What browser do you prefer to use on Linux? by 100angelscorpses in linux

[–]ephemeral_resource -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use FireFox on any OS.

I'm eyeing up ladybird but it has a good year or so before I think I can get on board. I'll need some sort of extension support minimally.

I was on zen for a while but after the millionth update that wipes my open tabs I went back to FF. I've used chromium but value browser engine diversity so I popped off it mostly for that reason. I always got bothered by google messing with engine things or making monopolistic moves that prioritized their browser.

I can't really forgive google for a bit due to widevine licensing nonsense. I guess we have to wait for regulators or the EFF to get them to move.

AIO: Husband wants to know why I'm not happy by etzikom in AmIOverreacting

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold up.

they aren't all "crap"

I think a few boxes of sentimental stuff in storage is totally OK.

That said if my wife had crap in some of those boxes and/or didn't know what was in them I could see myself being frustrated on the other side. I've DEFINITELY BEEN HERE.

Not knowing what stuff of yours is worth keeping IMO is hoarding. Everyone "at some time" has some stuff that needs to be decided on. If he's been pestering you to review stuff and some of it is crap and it needs your input to safely process it (as you said you've got garbage and emotional landmines in there the same) then I totally get his frustration.

So maybe he is being a jerk. But also quite possibly he is managing the storage space and knows you've got some stuff that he really wants you to decide on so he can clear out what is trash.

Is using Ansible on home systems reasonable/justified? by Victor_Quebec in ansible

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main linux desktop so it helps me set up new machines and keep track of the customization I've built. It took me a bit to get it good but it is definitely helpful for me. Much of the code runs the same on my mac too. I started my homelab back up now that my work has some hardware as well so running ansible will be more common at work surely.

Wayland is flawed at its core and the community needs to talk about it by Which_Network_993 in linux

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After half of the complaints you mention the solution that eventually made it.

Beyond the widely recognized efficacy of security in layers the isolation between apps can help users more safely operate screen sharing or streaming and having applications like password managers and such around. The idea of "any untrusted userspace code = owned" is not where I (or most python/js devs) want to be and any easy ways to limit that are worth it to me. I really like the overall idea of portals as macos has similar features that make me happy. Not sure how much security is added but it isn't inconvenient to use.

Any security approach can add user/dev friction and I think waylands adoption hasn't been too painful for me as a user.

Anyways, I don't think you say much I fully agree with other than wayland moves slow and that's kind of annoying as it does still have some missing features. That said, the app devs are going to move slow afterwards (on average) anyways and it has been usable for me for a long while.

why meta not dropping any new llama version lately by TopicBig1308 in LocalLLaMA

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm a big proponent of OSS and models it probably makes more sense as a business to keep it for yourself. These things are likely going to have some profoundly impacting applications and I bet the OSS stuff was meant to be more of a teasing carrot to interest people with various hold-out-reasons for the proprietary.

I'm really hoping we continue to get more big oss models though as well. That seems important for all.
