This is what I see every morning where I head to work (all three directly outside my front door)

Nice privacy hedge.

henfredemars@infosec.pub · 22 pts · 16d

This comment is exactly the kind of dull content I’m here for.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 19 pts · 16d

Had never thought of it like that but yes it does a wonderful job at this

docker compose down

(I just realized that this is the dull men’s club, and I am not a men’s. I’ll delete if this is inappropriate)

ETA: The wholesome-ness on display here is sickening, and I love it 😬 I am a part of the tree now!

Dullness trumps gender, so you're good

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 16 pts · 16d

Dullness supremacy!

vrek@programming.dev · 20 pts · 16d

I don't believe they are strict with that stuff here like woman's stuff is.

BartyDeCanter@piefed.social · 16 pts · 16d

Dullards of all genders are welcome here. Just don’t be too excited.

Bluewing@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 15d

As far as I'm concerned, if you are into dull things, you are welcome here. And if you are not a men's, you can be an honorary one here.

NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net · 11 pts · 15d

I encourage everyone to use !Dullsters@dullsters.net, but I realize that's a losing battle. 😅

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 6 pts · 16d

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?

Master@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 15d

lol i've made the reverse mistake and been flayed... but I dont think it matters here. As a woman (or any other non man gender) you can be a dullman too!

XeroxCool@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 15d

It's a typo and represents a type of grown child. As Anakin once said while flirting with Padme, "not just the men, but the women and dullmen too"

dihutenosa@piefed.social · 2 pts · 15d

"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

do you live in a shipping container?

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 43 pts · 16d (13 replies)

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

imeansurewhynot@sh.itjust.works · 28 pts · 16d (9 replies)

oh wow, that sounds unpleasant!

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 26 pts · 16d (8 replies)

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

NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net · 8 pts · 15d (1 reply)

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. 😬

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 15d

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

Bluewing@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 15d (1 reply)

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".

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 15d

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.

ChilledPeppers@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 15d (1 reply)

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.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 15d

Correct

Blurntout@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 15d (1 reply)

My friend have you met existential dread?

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 2 pts · 15d

Yep

The house is full of shit too. I've just had to let it go to some degree. The first year living here was a real challenging adjustment

Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org · 5 pts · 15d (2 replies)

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?

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 15d (1 reply)

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.

Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org · 2 pts · 15d

Damn, i feel for you bro. You have patience of a saint.

schmorpel@slrpnk.net · 16 pts · 16d (4 replies)

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.

stringere@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 16d

But the shipping containers are creatures of the sea, so also inspiring like trees.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 5 pts · 16d (2 replies)

I sure did mess this one haha

My in laws are hoarders are haven't gotten rid of anything in 20 years.

Bluewing@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 15d (1 reply)

Oh, it has been longer than 20 years.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 1 pts · 15d

Your probably right yeah

CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 16d (1 reply)

Bonus shopping cart!

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 2 pts · 16d

Haha, yeah its like a junk yard here

l'm expecting a Surprise Motherfornicator any second now.

SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz · 6 pts · 16d

I'd be sourcing a crate or 3, a broken cctv camera and a few airsoft guns asap.

linuxguy@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 16d (1 reply)

Sounds like a good story. Why?

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 9 pts · 16d

I live with hoarders

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 4 pts · 16d

Very fair point. I live in residential with hoarders

mavu@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 16d

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

billwashere@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 15d

You should move. Or buy a flame thrower.
