Run a RocketChat server for me so I don’t have to pay $8/mo anymore

Why?

Good point. Edited my comment to be less selfish.

Gathered that after reading more of the comments. Thank you.

His grieving dad Michael said he and his wife were not able to say goodbye as they were stuck in traffic.

If I were in his situation, I’d be weaving through traffic and driving on the shoulder to get to my son. It honestly blows my mind how some people are so law-abiding that they literally will not commit even a relatively minor infraction (in the grand scheme of things) when it matters most, even during a literal emergency. No sensible jury would convict this man for breaking traffic laws in this situation.

I’d gladly do my 6 months to a year in jail if it meant that I got the chance to say goodbye. This father is unbelievable.

Edit: I was wondering why my inbox blew up this morning… I’m not reading all these replies lol. It’s not good for my mental health.

I stand by what I said. Shame on all the bad parents out there who wouldn’t do anything and everything for their kids. Y’all disappoint me. And shoutout to the four of you who agree with me. You get it.

It happened in the world, didn’t it?

I don’t follow Minecraft drama. Why’s he a dick?

It also happened to me 20 years ago so I guess nothing changes. If you wore Sketchers, you were going to get bullied.

It’s okay I always hated Sketchers too. They were the shoe that you buy if you want to get bullied. Guess that’s still true today.

Well I’m in late 30s and high school was 20 years ago at this point, so I caved and finally bought a pair. Settled on their knockoff version of the Nike Flex and I couldn’t be more pleased. They’re just as comfortable as the real Flex, and 5x cheaper too. That said, part of me is still embarrassed to be wearing Sketchers. I wish the logo was easier to remove…

Oh, right. A show. Of course.

Fucking thank you. I wish these tired old reddit memes wouldn’t migrate over to Lemmy.

Wait, I thought we hated Shopify? (Cause of the data breach.)

Find a bank that doesn’t charge overdraft fees. If you so happen to live in Colorado or Arizona, FirstBank is a good choice.

Not only are there no fees for anything, they even give you the option to block your card from charging more than your available balance. Card machines will literally only do a partial payment, using whatever is left in your account, allowing you to pay the remaining balance with another form of payment. It works everywhere and is really neat. Find a bank that offers this.

Ever since switching to a foldable and buying a smart TV, I feel this. Things I used to rely on a computer for I can now easily do using my pocket tablet or TV instead.

Back in 2022 I spent $4K building my dream machine, yet I hardly use it. As someone who used to be glued to a PC all day, every day, I thought I’d never see the day where I can go several days in a row without my computer and not even miss it. But the only time I fire up my PC now is to spin some tunes on the turntables, play a game, edit a video, or work on my website. For everything else, the phone or the smart TV will suffice.

Yeah but if I’m reading this correctly, only 0.14% of Portugal’s total population signed the petition. If you want change to happen, you need more than half the population on your side.

Know how you feel. I’m almost 40, and even though my dad has been dead for 5 years now, the feeling still won’t go away. The PTSD is so bad that loud voices startle me, and I can’t use a computer if someone is looking over my shoulder.

My dad taught me how to lie and obsess over privacy so I wouldn’t feel his wrath. I should be in therapy.

Replace mom with dad, and this is my childhood.

You don’t know trauma unless you’ve been raised by a bipolar narcissist with anxiety and anger issues. My dad was a master at sucking all the energy out of a room and ruining the vibe with his selfish, fear-mongering bullshit.

Really? What’s your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?

Upright spine is bad posture. You should sit at a 45° angle to minimize the pressure on your disks.

One thing I miss about working at Amazon was not only the 4 day work weeks, but the fact that they handed out PTO so generously that you could literally call off one day every single week (or sleep in and come in late every single day, which is what I did), and it was absolutely fine.

But unfortunately I had to leave cause I got tired of the thermostat being set to 83°F, and the management who wouldn’t lift a finger for anybody. Still, not the worst place in the world to work. You can just put on your headphones, load up a playlist of podcasts, and zone out for your entire shift. Not having to go through an interview process is nice too. Just show up, take a picture, spit on a sponge (they don’t drug test for weed), and you’re hired.
