This is next level psychotic. Nightmarishly cruel. Typical of Putin and his barbaric Russian horde, sadly.

Ah, you’re correct. Cheers.

Reportedly Twitter changed the guy’s X account to that one.

Good. Go home, orcs.

We need a team to collaborate and make a large ad for Lemmy.

500 down, maybe 50 up but I’d have to go check.

Edit: $110/mo for 500 down / 20 up, 600gb monthly cap before throttling.

Their only unlimited data plan is actually $185/mo. 2.5gbps download, 75 mbps upload.

Here in Alaska you can have a cell line, 500mbps, and unlimited data for $125.

Yeah, could be. But in any case, I upvoted all of them as well. Cheers!

I like how you accidentally replied four times and people upvoted all of them.

This is a test as well.

I hemmed and hawed for a few months but what brought me to my decision to leave my career was the extra thousands of hours I would get with my kids as they grow up. That time is just SO much more valuable than money.

Sure, we could make ~250k a year combined, aggressively invest, and enjoy a lavish lifestyle in our 50’s. But at what cost?

So, I spend my days with the kids and my wife works from her in-home therapy office—with dialed-back hours to enjoy 3-day weekends with us. One day we will retire comfortably enough to get a decent RV, travel 1-2x a year, and dig into hobbies. And the trade off for less wealth? We’ll have rock solid relationships with our children with so many fond memories of their childhood—far more than we’d have if we both spent 40+ hours a week working.

As I’m sure you know, it’s an extremely fortunate position to be in. If you choose to resign and take the plunge into SAHD life you can always return to work if you decide it’s just not for you. Good luck!

Oh, and one more thing: I have a book recommendation. I think it should be mandatory reading for all parents. It’s called ‘Playful Parenting: An Exciting New Approach to Raising Children That Will Help You Nurture Close Connections, Solve Behavior Problems, and Encourage Confidence’ by Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D. I’m almost done with it. My kids are 7 and 15; I wish I read it years ago but it is what it is.

12 million? Pfft. Just a small fraction of that is more than fine. My wife makes ~$150k a year as a therapist and I am indeed happily that guy. Throw in home school, playing with the kids, running errands, and handling other parental and spousal duties that pop up.

Is it tiring? Yes, quite often. Is it stressful? Yes, sometimes. Is it worth it? Hell yeah.

Do I miss work since I “retired” almost two years ago? Hell no.

As long as life’s basics are covered and there’s a little extra play money it’s all worth it.

I’m 36 but a tech potato.

I can build a computer and do basic troubleshooting. That’s about it.

Correct. I do not believe it.

Reddit operatives are trying to sabotage Lemmy! That’s my conspiracy anyway.

Demilitarizing the Russian fascists is going relatively well. Slava Ukraini.

This is more than mildly infuriating. It’s sad this is actually common in our society. People like that need a lot of therapy, not romantic relationships.
