  A discord community I’m in has been sharing 3x3 cover image grids of the games that “define you”. I’ll just paste my response from there:

  I’m not bothering to share an image because it would just be 7 Kingdom Hearts titles, Tribes 2, and Oregon Trail

  Your shitpostid is in the format of a North American phone number, with an area code in Quebec.

  Nothing implied by that, just couldn’t help but notice.

  This type of environment, and OPs reaction to it, is how people develop compulsive behaviors that are unhealthy. You can hear it in how they talk about even simple things, like their extreme disgust towards saliva deposited in a trash can. Revulsion towards saliva in a trash can is not normal. Saliva left on a surface? Or on their person? Sure, gross. But a trash can is an appropriate place for someone to spit. It doesn’t deserve the vehement disgust OP displays.

  I’m not diminishing how unhygienic and disgusting their family is. The photos make it clear that they live in a completely inexcusable level of filth. I just don’t want OP to continue down this path of obsessive, compulsive cleanliness. There’s a happy medium.

  So, based on your description and the pictures, here’s my take:

  Your family is unhygienic and gross. Water leaking from surfaces can pick up all sorts of gross stuff. Leaving food waste (I see banana peels I think?) out and exposed to open air leads to rotting and mold which can definitely make you sick. Used toilet paper with fecal matter on it left in an open trash can? HELLA gross.

  BUT

  Your reaction to this environment is going too far. Disinfecting your phone constantly? Concerns about people spitting in the trash? Not eating any leftovers or drinking from any container you didn’t open yourself? These are going too far. As others have pointed out, some contact with germs is important to maintain a healthy immune system.

  There’s a middle-ground that both you AND your family are missing.

  Wash your hands after using the bathroom and before eating, sure. Don’t leave things that rot out in the open, of course.

  Putting the garbage can next to the table while clearing it? Totally fine. Eating leftovers that have been refrigerated for a day? Totally fine.

  I understand why you’ve developed hyper-vigilence living in that kind of environment. It makes sense. But I think you’re probably overcompensating.

  You might benefit from learning more about the human immune system, food safety, and other science-based topics. Did you know that urine, for example, is sterile? You can literally safely drink human urine (with some exceptions). Feces, on the other hand, is total opposite of sterile.

  I’m sorry you have to live in such a gross environment. I hope you can find a way to convince your family to meet you in the middle.

  haha wow this comment is amazing satire! you really nailed the elitist, dismissive, generally toxic attitude of the people described in the OP!

  Your devotion to playing the part is brilliant. you didn’t even put a /s at the end of anything!

  bravo on your satirical masterpiece!

  it is important for people to be able to build spaces that provide community for people who have perfectly legitimate reasons for not wanting certain things around.

  unfortunately providing that functionality inherently provides the functionality to create echo chambers for arbitrary reasons

  you cannot have one without the other and I’d rather have both than neither

  they didn’t say it was hypocritical, just empty criticism. They are implying that ml instances are no less egregious about the types of bad content they allow, even if the content itself is different

  This is pretty transparently not a recruitment tactic, but an attempt to get these students to identify their parents as undocumented.

  “Yes sir, I’m interested in your offer. Why? Well because my parents are undocumented. Wait, why is ICE here now?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I have extreme anxiety?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody here can diagnose you, but what you’ve told us is more than enough to tell us you need to seek a professional opinion. 

  Find a psychiatrist who can see you ASAP about the anxiety, stress, panic attacks, etc

  Find a physician who can see you ASAP about the migraines/headaches. 

  If either continue to worse or more frequent, seek immediate care at your local Urgent Care or ER.

  Don’t gamble with your safety please ❤️‍🩹

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly about consent. We can debate when and where sentience begins, but it begins somewhere and vegans hold a moral philosophy that says using another sentient being’s work product or body without their consent is immoral.

  Note that I am not vegan myself but understand, if not agree with, their moral position.

  And as another reply said, most vegans recognize it as a “best effort” philosophy, as they appreciate the impracticality of an absolutist stance. They are focused on “harm reduction”.

  I cannot make any promises about how well it’s adapted, of course. I do think this past season was a bit rushed, because of just how much they needed to pack into a linked number of episodes.

  As a light novel enjoyer, I’m excited to watch all the anime-only folks go through the emotional rollercoaster this arc brings.

  Protip, just in case: Keep. Watching.

  That is all I’ll say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Site-to-site and individual client setups are not mutually exclusive. They can co-exist.

  I have Wireguard on both my phone and laptop - and tailscale should work the same way - which I only activate when I’m away from my home network.

  You could even set it up where each “roaming” device is always connected to their “home” network by VPN, which uses site-to-site to further route the traffic where it needs to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend looking into setting up site-to-site VPN configurations between routers at each location. I have this set up between my home network and my parents’ network.

  Once you have it properly configured you can simply have the router itself handle routing of specific traffic over the VPN connection, instead of needing each device to connect to the VPN individually.

  it’s a bit more complicated to set up and maintain but not anything previously complex, and absolutely worth it for your use case IMO

  I work on software security (not it/infosec) and deal with this constantly. Bad stuff didn’t happen so we can scale back security, right? No, shit for brains, either the bad stuff didn’t happen because we prevented it, or the bad stuff just hasn’t happened yet because the vulnerability wasn’t discovered, or worse still, the bad stuff DID happen and we haven’t been informed yet. Either way, please do not make my job harder.
