These are my favorite kind of memes. Elegance in simplicity.

I would say the biggest unifying factor for all Lemmy users is the belief that big tech sucks for one reason or another. If you want someone to answer ‘No’ to this question then you need to ask it somewhere else.

we can choose to start school/work after sunrise like sane people.

That’s the crux of the problem though, isn’t it? We don’t do that. We let psychopaths who enjoy waking up before the sun decide when everything else starts and, big surprise, they chose early as fuck.

Not giving a fuck is actually the key. It’s harder for some people to get there but that’s where you need to end up.

For some, the idea “no one analyzes your behavior the way you do” helps. For others, it’s “if they don’t like the way you are you shouldn’t care what they think”. It’s different for everybody but getting to the point where a bad social interaction isn’t scary anymore is what you want.

I have done the rim joists in my basement using a similar spray foam product. The biggest recommendations I have are:

1. Use the kind of gun pictured and not the cans that come with a straw. It is much easier to apply consistently and you can actually stop work and start again the next day using the same can. The straws work OK but they always get clogged when you stop for a bit so only use them if you are working on a small area and plan on using the whole can in one go.

2. Look into the difference between closed cell and open cell foam. I’ve never seen closed cell come in a can like that so I’d bet money that is open cell foam. It works great for air sealing but you need to apply a ton of it to get an appreciable R-value. Closed cell foam is a lot more expensive in the spray form and is a 2 part mixture that is more complicated to work with.

What I ended up doing was buying some 2" closed cell foam board at the local hardware store. It’s relatively cheap in board form and is easy to cut. I cut a piece of the foam board to fit inside the rim joist space and then used the spray foam to air seal both the rim joists themselves and the small gap around the foam board. I think this is the most effective way to do it unless you go for the 2 part closed cell spray foam but that was more than triple the cost of the foam board + open cell spray foam.

For comparison, the 2" foam board has an R-value around 8 and, if memory serves, you would need something like 8" of open cell foam to provide that same level of insulation. You can get an equivalent R-value with 2" of the closed cell spray foam but last I checked the spray stuff was about $800 and an 8’x4’ sheet of 2" foam board is around $60.

Yeah that’s a good call. I don’t push back when asked directly I just pretend I didn’t see the emails. Most of the time it’s fine but the boring security stuff is usually the one they get me on.

I think they do that at my company too but in addition to not reporting phishing emails I have a personal rule that I don’t do any “mandatory” training unless someone in my management chain specifically asks me to. My boss probably gets annoyed by that occasionally but you’d be surprised how much of that stuff I never get asked about.

My company sends at least one fake phishing email a week. They track stats for them on a security page and I wear it as a badge of honor that my report says 100% viewed and 0% reported.

I’ve seen tons of anime but what sports communities are you referring to? The only ones I’ve seen aren’t active at all

I don’t think you’ll know for sure unless you ask, and even then there’s no guarantee you’ll get a real answer.

People are all unique. Just read these responses here. There are people making contradictory claims because each one is focusing on different parts of the story from different perspectives. That’s not an indictment on their judgement it’s an illustration of the reality you’re facing.

The truth is none of us know what you did or didn’t do wrong, or if there even was such a thing. We don’t have enough information and I don’t think you could provide all the necessary information even if you wanted to. Social interactions are just too complex to be accurately deconstructed in a few paragraphs.

In the end, just think about what you want and take a step in that direction. If you want to see this guy again, say that to him. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that as long as you’re willing to accept that it might not turn out the way you want.

Greedy shitstains, as you called them, having been doing this kind of thing for all of recorded history. I’d bet any amount of money that they were doing it before we knew how to write it down too. Modern technology has very little to do with it.

I’m using 8. It’s twice as secure

You have a face for dialup is a good one

I don’t think I want to share any fries with you

You can be disrespectful as fuck in a gentlemanly way. That shit is better than heroin to people with generational wealth.

Sure, the government could do all sorts of things to ensure bailouts are effectively applied, including giving them directly to the people who need them. They don’t do that because helping the people isn’t the goal. They just say that’s the goal as a marketing ploy.

Bailouts go to huge corporations because that’s who the government cares about. Stopping rich dudes from keeping as much of our money as possible is diametrically opposed to our nation’s fundamental economic and political philosophy. Of course they don’t make a serious effort to keep it from happening.
