Today for the first time i went into the parents room at the airport with my wife and son.

It was nice, microwave cushy recliners with change tables and curtains

Sink and instant boiled water.

Kinda makes me think when I'm flying on my own I could just hang in there and decompress before jumping in the sardine can.

Obviously i won't because it's all set up for breast feeding and I'm sure me in there by myself would be creepy

    I assume you're American?

    I'm always confused by seeing people say they're losing their insurance.

    Does it come with your job?

    In Australia we have public hospitals with a lengthy wait time but its free or you can pay for private health insurance. Doesn't really speed much up for where i live but the premiums I pay a year get me free dental for the most part which makes it worth it. Not to mention paying for insurance brings down your annual tax by 1500 or so dollars

    Man, it really depends on your substance, where I'm from i know people who easily go through $200 Aud a week on alcohol since it's so heavily taxed.

    Then coke addicts who can burn 800 a week if they have the funds which is insane.

    Pot heads will do 500 a month

    Sometimes therapy is cheaper.

    Not that i can talk i burn my money on alcohol at the pub because it gives me a place to socialise. I wish I didn't though since my local pub is 31 dollars for 4 beers and I can easily drink 8 on a Tuesday night.

    Maybe I should go to therapy

    In the last week I have seen solar punk go down and aussie.zone owner talk about stepping away.

    I've not seen two places down at once that has made it to my feed in the last 3 years.

    Is the self hosting aspect of lemmy a detriment to the entire environment? Admins getting burnt out or the costs becoming too high is absolutely an issue.

    I know this is kind of rambling but what would happen to Lemmy if the major hosters all went down, and we all spun up our own personal services?

     

    Having grown up late 90s into the 2000s I went from buying cds to lime wire to spotify.

    In the last 6 months I have found such a greater appreciation for just putting on a whole album and listening to it front to back.

    I feel there is a huge loss when going from one artist to another to another all random.

    Today I am listening to Refused, The Shape Of Punk To Come

     

    I'm a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)

    Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.

    But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming
