I am as well.

Especially since when polled a majority of Republicans agree that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of the country”, and their support ticks up even more when the quote is attributed to Trump.

Saltbox.

Ansible-configured Ubuntu-based server rollout, with tag-based installation already available for the apps you listed.

Great docs & support Discord; simple yml configs for quick setup changes.

Single command updating entire server, Portainer for Docker management, rclone for NAS fusemount (cloudplow for syncing), & lots of additional software available to add to your setup.

Highly recommend.

Well, I appreciate you being willing to share.

And thank you for helping me to understand that not all disabilities are permanent.

It helps to hear about others troubles; we all get so wrapped up in our own we at times forget everyone else is dealing with their own.

COVID did such a number on needed non-COVID care. My own neighbor was forced to wait over two years for hip surgery to walk again, which they considered elective, which is absurd. I’m sorry that you, like all too many others, had to wait so long, and that the wait extended your recovery window.

I’m rooting for you to stick with your balancing, stretching, and yoga!

It is amazing how much can be regained through constant efforts. Physical therapy on my opinion is too often ignored by patients in their recovery, especially in less serious injuries than your own. Just keep at it! It gets better!

Thanks again for joining and contributing.

Hope your recovery is as full and as short as can be.

Very much understand. And there are so many interesting folks and things to talk about here! Glad you’re getting involved.

And very much agree on Reddit toxicity. Terrible. Though in time Lemmy may become the same.

You mention that you are currently disabled?

I find that a fascinating way to describe it, because I’ve only known ever known of non-disabled and disabled individuals (my apologies if there are more correct terms).

My understanding has always been disabilities are permanent, but always love learning how I have been wrong, so please share if you are comfortable.

Since you are “currently” so, I must assume it is temporary. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your recovery time till no longer being that way?

Also, hope you have a positive support structure to help with any needs your disability may make more difficult.

Looking forward to your future contributions.

Hey, @disguy_ovahea

Noticed your very active account is only 5 days old, and wanted to take the opportunity to welcome you to Lemmy!

Thanks for joining!

Not religious, but “Steady plodding bring prosperity”.

All my life I have watched as many of those around me struggle to stay consistent in their lives, and have worse outcomes as a result.

Inconsistent with their savings habits.

Inconsistent in their employment efforts.

Inconsistent with their love lives.

Inconsistent with taking care of themselves.

Consistency provides a basis for better long term results. Very little success is possible in almost any endeavor without it.

Though I’ve found it personally frustrating to remain consistent in my own life, the benefits of doing so I have found to be exponential, although late and taken for granted by others who weren’t consistent.

Another is: “What are you willing to give up to get what you want?”

All too many things are zero-sum, and though consumer capitalist systems often pretend “you can have it all”, you can’t.

Honest reflection about what is most important to yourself, and what personal sacrifices are required to obtain your goal, makes the goal easier to obtain.

Many sacrifices that are needed are clear from the offset, but by being honest and willing before the endeavour, those future sacrifices are less traumatic. Other sacrifices pop up along the way, and it’s important to re-evaluate at intervals whether your end goal is still worth it.

For love: “Prequalify your spouse.”

People lead with their hearts often where their heads can’t follow.

Sure they may be attractive, or have an amazing personality, or be rich, but do you KNOW them?

Is their fading beauty or quick wit or checking balance able to really make up for their poor treatment of others, latent racism or sexism, politics, religious adherence, stance on having children, intention in the future to care for ailing family, or poor spending habits? What about if they believe it’s appropriate to hit your future kids, or demand the kids are their religion, or can’t be gay? What if they refuse to travel or relocate? What if they don’t clean up after themselves or never take responsibility for their failings?

It is imperative to long term relationship success that you spend enough time for both partners to actually understand each other, because there is more to long term compatibility related to shared values than there is to sexual attraction.

Most often this advice results in people realizing they haven’t given enough thought themselves to what and why they believe is the best way to live their own lives, and where those values came from.

I’ve got loads more, but those are a great start.

HOW WAS THIS NOT ALREADY THE CASE?

Judge Jones was already assigned as a court-mandated financial monitor for the trial and the next three years.

This financial monitor up until today WAS NOT included in communication or documentation, of the company she financially monitors due to their previous history of financial misrepresentations when obtaining financing, as it attempts to obtain financing?!

America is stupid. Honestly.

That’s cool!

Also found mine on lemmy, though I don’t remember where.

Because the CCP prefers to indoctrinate their population themselves, and puts road blocks to prevent foreign companies from doing so.

America doesn’t, or at least hasn’t, until now.

And American leadership isn’t against foreign governments indoctrinating US citizens via social media. They are against not being able to PROFIT from it.

TikTok is private, controlled by the CCP, and closed sourced.

Trump toadie in this article isn’t trying to shut down the indoctrination. He wants to buy and use it, take the code out and use it everywhere as well as to sell it to the highest bidders, which will likely be more autocrats.

I neither care nor want Facebook et al trying to reshape Chinese minds, though it has no relevance to this point anyway.

And pointing out that the Chinese don’t allow things America does is not the win you think it is here, (ra ra Team America f*ck yeah and what not). If you like how the Chinese do it, go there and enjoy. It’s your life.

The powerful claim that Tiktok supposedly needs to be divested or banned due to both it’s CCP control and it’s effective algorithmic ability to sway US minds.

This seems more like jealousy than security related, as is exampled by the disinterest in actual digital privacy legislation for social media, which would hurt America’s rich. Or alternatively just forcing TikTok to put a big warning not to trust content due to CCP ownership, instead of divest or ban.

They also seem to ignore the fact that US minds (and most everywhere else) seem to be so easy to currently manipulate, and have no interest in improving education to teach how to reduce potential manipulation.

So, after lobbying the government to force a sale of something that can manipulate US voter minds, a former Trump official and stooge wants to buy [edit: at a forced fire sale too] this algorithm that can manipulate US minds.

The divesting push and this purchase push are obviously part of the same effort.

US politicians don’t want the Chinese to control you; but US politicians and businesspeople very much DO want to use this Chinese tech on you for their own purposes. Otherwise, divest would not be an option.
