American dad here. Yes, it’s trash.

Moved to Japan for my son and the difference is night and day. People here are shocked and disgusted when I tell them what I ate for school lunches as a kid.

iPhone with plans to switch to GrapheneOS on a pixel soon.

Personally I believe there’s more to dreams than pure biology, and similarly that there’s more to consciousness than the materialist/emergence line of thought. They are the mysteries within, like the inside of black holes are to astronomy.

What I did:

Deleted the app. I still go directly to the subreddit pages I want to see (in a browser), but without logging in, and without ever looking at the home feed.

I haven’t commented on Reddit or used the app in months now. TBH, I’m even annoyed I have to go over there for my niche subs, because I hate the advertisements. I really do enjoy lemmy more than Reddit now.

I’ve set up a few gitlab servers at companies and it’s always been well received. Doing it from scratch may be more complex than you want, but I think there are docker images for a more turnkey type solution. And the option of building CI/CD pipelines in the future is always nice to have.

I worked a 4-10 in 2014, but also worked 20 hours on the weekend driving for uber. Combined I only made about 40k, so definitely not worth it.

Now I work a “normal” week, but from home with no weekend work, and make $150k. I also only do like 10 hours of actual work per week, so I prefer this situation…

But I’m voluntarily giving this job up next month and moving to a country where I’ll probably work 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, making 30k… because I don’t want to support America with my taxes any more, and because I want my family to be safe.

But yeah, if we’re talking same job but shorter week, I would choose the shorter week every time.
