      I’m a man and I accidentally commented on women’s stuff just like you here. I’m mostly here to have a good time or to find information and your comment made me chuckle. Be my guest 💖

      And maybe we should docker container prune as well, just too be sure?

      “man” as in human. Like “mankind” also contains women. As they say, “the male embraces the female” from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

      Surprisingly I live in a normal house but my in laws are incapable of downsizing, instead opting to throw another shipping container on the driveway when they get more stuff

          It is. Its caused me a great deal of stress over the last 2 years but I’ve found the best solution is to realize its out of my control and just be a good man for my partner and a good father for my daughter. No point losing sleep over things out of my control. Easier said than done sometimes

            I admire your priorities, although you may want to consider that your daughter is learning that this is normal and okay, which it is not. 😬

              I completely agree. At this point in time my take home pay isn’t enough for us to move out. Once my daughter is at school and my partner gets a job we’ll move out

            Some time in the distant future, you will have far less sorting and disposing of things you do not want or need. You will merely need to call a truck to haul the containers away and have it all auctioned off.

            Source: I have settled 2 estates. My parents and a great aunt. It’s a miserable job going through a lifetime’s collection of “stuff”.

              Yeah

              This sounds real savage but I’ve given up on the idea they will fix this themselves so I’m resigned to the fact it’ll me us that has to do it once they are gone.

            I actually thought you work in a container ship or something. This is insane. Who even needs three containers full of stuff? They are absolutrly destroying their property for just some more storage space.

        What? Please tell me I’m interpreting this wrong.

        They’re buying just random stuff(basically clutter), in quantities to fill shipping containers, multiple times? How can they afford it even?

          Kind of.

          When I moved in they cleared a few of the rooms which lead to another two containers. They turned the garage into a bedroom which again, all that stuff went into containers. They do add more stuff over time slowly too.

    No no you got it wrong. The way to measure life quality in your city was whether you could see three *trees *from your window, not three shipping containers. Easy to confuse, I know.

    should be careful, it’s probably illegal to live in a shipping container on the harbor premises.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
