    Unless you’re very wealthy, you can’t hire someone to functionally be your mother.

    What you can do, is sign up for interest groups that meet on a set schedule, then build your routine around that.

    For example,

    I go bowling with my friend each Sunday. I go out to dinner and meet people every Wednesday. I go to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday.

    Just like that, I have 4/7 days of my week more or less planned, including working. Everything else radiates around those plans. I go to the barber on Wednesday, because I want to look good for dinner. Saturday is a self care day, because I’m tired from the weeks happenings on tues-thurs.

    Friday stays open as a “fuck it we ball” night. Fuck Mondays, I don’t do on mondays.

    What you’re looking for here is 110% unrealistic, even if you could afford a personal assistant to keep track of your schedule for you you would still have to have things to do to structure that schedule around.

    Tl;dr, in a super loving way, grow up. Or enlist in your countries military, then you don’t have to think about your day at all for years.





  • We are all witnessing a master class in fucking with the trans community, that’s what’s going on

    The short version is the a user, initially “dragon fucker”, who then changed their name to “dragon rider” to make the bit less obvious, was the embodiment of the “Apache attack helicopter gender identity” meme.

    The premise of their identity is that they fuck dragons, and their pronouns are “drag”. This is, on its face, hilariously delusional at absolute best and a troll at worst.

    My list of issues with drag is long, but some of their greatest hits:

    Reporting everyone who didn’t play along with them as transphobic. This caused issues over at Bahaj who, bless their heart, gave drag the benefit of the doubt.

    Harassing users in DMs, up to and including pictures of themselves saying “bet you would like some of my girlcock” or something to that affect

    Things get a little conspiratorial past this line

    I’ve been around Lemmy for a while now, and after seeing drag talk, I am 100% convinced they’re another iteration of an equally terrible user called DroneRights.

    It was the same MO, their “gender” was that they were a “drone” in a “hive mind”. Again, patently absurd and should never have been taken seriously, except they would regularly try to get users banned for being “transphobic”.

    I think all of this is just a bit to subtract from actual trans issues, which is exactly what it did. It reframed the discussion around gender identity and pronouns on Lemmy to “oh but what about “xenogenders”, and “neo-pronouns”, which is like…. Just the epitome of what the left gets made fun of for at this point.

    It all ended with drag getting banned from blahaj for sharing DMs with the admin, though I’m sure it was a straw that broke the camels back kind of situation

    I hypothesize we see another, similarly deranged account within a few weeks and the cycle will continue.

    It confuses me how a company can basically invent an entire category of hardware, then proceed to do absolutely everything as terribly as possible after that.

    New Cisco firewalls? Fucking suck.

    Cisco switches? Good hardware, but they haven’t evolved configuration wise since like the mid 2000s, and licensing costs as much as the switch, for foreign based support that doesn’t even understand the question.

    The ENTIRE FTD platform is an absolute insult to engineering and should single handedly be responsible for bankrupting Cisco, imo.





  • It’s all comes down to money and assets. The way it works in the US is, broadly, they get half of your shit unless you signed a prenup.

    This is ironically a callback to old school patriarchal structures where a woman divorcing her husband often did not have any marketable skill sets because they were housewives. The courts saw fit to have the husband continue providing for them until they are self supporting- conceptually.
