This directly brings up the question of what is feminism and the various waves it’s gone through.

I would consider the abolition of a “patriarchy” separate from feminism. I think there are various criticisms of that notion and it’s rather cultural centric viewpoint. Raising women doesn’t have to come at the notion that men must be brought down. I don’t consider egalitarianism to be a zero sum game.

If your definition of feminism includes the dismantling of patriarchy, I don’t think I’m entirely convinced patriarchy isn’t a mislabeling of the underlying systemic issues in our society. And I don’t particularly like the implied core issue being men are holding women back.

Society as a whole has radically changed with regards to how women are viewed and their role in this social construct, even with the current political climate and the unfortunate direction it’s turned. The feminist movement has found incredible ground and made significant headway, and I’m incredibly impressed and overjoyed to see it.

I still see a lot of change that needs to happen for us to really reach equal footing. But I may not share the same idea of what the root cause of that inequality is.

As for the discussion of other social justice movements, my underlying beliefs remain the same. Raise the lowest among us, provide the same opportunities and social support, and treat everyone with respect.

I think I’m more egalitarian. But this is largely dependent on what you mean by feminism.

I believe all women should have total agency over themselves. I believe they deserve equal pay, treatment, and rights. I believe them when they discuss their issues and the prevalence of sexual assault and abuse.

I also believe that there are structures in our society that unfairly put them above men. For instance, in child care and criminal sentencing. Women tend to get the benefit of doubt that they are the better parent and that the relationship between a child and a mother is generally more important than that of a child and father. Women also, in general, get lighter sentences for the same crime.

I believe that we should be more equal in the value we place on the relationship between a child and it’s father. Raising the importance of how we as a society view that relationship rather than bringing down the importance of the mothers relationship.

I also believe we should lighten the sentences of men to be more in line with women’s sentencing. Although that largely falls in line with my personal opinion that criminal sentencing in this country is far, far too harsh.

A mechanical thing with interchangeable parts where nerds discuss the performance, compare, and customize them.

The “why” someone is into a thing, imo, is more important than the thing, usually.

They control the purse. No visits, no funds.

They need to put pay stoppages on everything. No vendors, no contractors, no salaries. Operate within the legislative model or don’t operate at.

Maybe not the best word choices. But I don’t think they’re problems without knowing more about their relationship. Sometimes parenting you have to be hard and direct. You don’t always give choices, now I know they are 22 and that makes it a little weird. But parenting doesn’t exactly stop when someone turns 18.

And “evolve” wouldn’t have been so strange if it were replaced with “grow”. It sounds more like “push yourself out of your comfort zone.”

I think so, but I really can’t remember exactly. I mostly remember playing shufflepuck cafe on it when I was young. The next computer we had was a Macintosh 7100. Before getting a gateway years later.

I’m pretty sure I still have some 3.5" floppies from them.

I wanna say my first PC that I used a was an Amiga with similar i/o as this: I remember that mouse connector vividly.

Instead of regulating tech, they are going the fuck over everyone route.

The Trump administration’s proposed agreement, which was obtained by CNN, would install a resolution monitor to oversee the school and a senior administrator who would ensure UCLA is complying with anti-discrimination laws.

This is so embarrassing. Installing snitches and rats.

Is seriously love to see states building and using their State Guard in direct opposition to the bullshit ICE is doing.

It’s been a long term build. With unraid it’s been pretty easy to slowly add disks one disk at a time.

I’m moving everything towards 22tb disks right now. It’s still got a handful of 4 and 5tb disks in it. I’ve ended up with a pile of smaller disks that I’ve pulled and just… sit around.

I also picked up a Synology recently that houses 12x 12tb disks that goes into that total count. I’ve got another couple Synologys just laying around unused.

Yep. It’s a 4u super micro chassis with the associated backplanes.

I had some servers left over from work. It’s set up to also take jbod cards with mini-sas to expand into additional shelf’s if I need that.

My setup really isn’t much of an entry setup. It’s similar to this: https://store.supermicro.com/us_en/4u-superstorage-ssg-641e-e1cr36h.html

It’s almost like the base document can be loaded without annotations and never change. Then have the annotations load separately on top of the base page preventing even this odd “could be a tech issue” problem.

Don’t accept their blaming tech for it. There is no reason that those annotations should even have been updated at this particular point anyway.

I used to really like esxi, but broadcom screwed us on that.

Hyper-v sucks to run and manage. It’s also pretty bloated.

Proxmox is pretty awesome if you want full VMs. I’m gonna move everything I have onto it eventually.

For ease of use, if you have Synology that can run containers, it’s okay.

I also like and tend to use unraid at my house, but that’s more because of my insane storage requirements and how I upgrade with dissimilar disks fairly frequently. (I’m just shy of 500tb and my server holds 38 disks.)

Same. We’ll see if they read my essay of a message.

I went with a friend to look at used cars at CarMax. They had a 1 year old Subaru that was going for only $1k less than a brand new one.

I know CarMax is shitty and expensive. But that was even more ridiculous than I was expecting.

I really hope whoever gets in after Trump, if someone does, basically signs an EO saying all illegal citizens in the USA as of X date are now citizens. With all rights and privileges that conveys.

If that were me, I’d disband ICE in it’s current form. They’d be reformed solely for customs enforcement. I’d only enforce immigration issues if and when an illegal immigrant was arrested and convicted of a felony.

I really like the soundtrack to Suikoden. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it’s one of the better ones for me.

And lunar silver star story is pretty good too.

Giving their son a sex toy, whatever, not common, but it can help have a normal conversation about sex and realistic expectations.

For his birthday, kind of weird. I don’t think it should so formal a thing. Just so it and have the conversation about safe sex and how porn isn’t like real sex.

For his 18th, uhhhh little late to the party.
