Let’s… not go down that path.

How about “flower” instead?

Isn’t there a type of medusa that can “rebirth” itself and essentially live forever? Why can’t we?

Tldr: something something Microsoft bad

I don’t think there is any “government approved” educational material about the kind of activities you partake in. Look up something like “advanced bdsm guide” on Google and absorb as much information as possible. This kind of information is shared from experience only.

Not anymore. Not with Winget.

The Five Love Languages - explains the inner workings of love, and how to sustain long term relationships, especially marriage

I see. I’ll think about it, thank you for the insight, and the kind words :)

I don’t think I have trouble understanding my emotions, but I probably really do suppress them. As of now, my normal coping mechanisms work fine, and I don’t see the need to fix this specific one. Maybe one day I too will have the urge, and then I’ll see what I can do.

If I may ask, has therapy helped you? Did you manage to cry?

My shoulder is available to all who need it

I genuinely don’t remember the last time I cried. I’m a very stoic person. Stuff that makes people cry barely touches me, and that sucks sometimes. It doesn’t feel good, knowing that that source of stress relief is just blocked for me.

Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that’s Google Calendar I think, isn’t Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you’re degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?

May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn’t collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it’s packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.

Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly

Thanks for making me discover that. Could’ve lived my whole life without knowing about it.

Bold of you to assume I have friends that would notice me not leaving house

It’s strange in our culture. Maybe in theirs it isn’t.

I’m fairly new to Linux as well, but have some experience. I’ll try to share my first steps.

My very first step was gathering information: what are Linux distros? What’s the difference between them? Which is easiest to learn? There are a bunch of articles and forum pages dedicated to these topics. I learned that you can dual boot (i.e. no need to wipe Windows drive), that installation happens with a bootable media, like USB, and that gaming is generally not a problem. My first distro was Pop!_OS, which I don’t regret: it’s based on Ubuntu, meaning old, stable foundation, uses Gnome by default (look up “desktop environments”) which is gorgeous and very extensible, and had Nvidia drivers pre-installed, which is apparently a big thing.

My personal method of learning is as-I-go: say, I just installed Linux, and now I want to install Firefox. How do I do that? I apparently can’t just run a .exe file like in Windows. So I googled it, and found out about package managers, and how to use them. My very first command wasn’t successful, but with time, I learned to use it without looking it up, simply from recurring use.

If you do decide to install Linux, you may want to look up something like “top 10 things to do after installing [your distro]”, sometimes these help deal with some annoying quirks out of the gate.

If jumping into the deep end isn’t for you, then the best resource to find all about Linux is the Arch Wiki. Don’t try to navigate it from the home page, it’s like a maze. Instead, whenever you look up information, try to find a page about whatever you’re looking up in the wiki.

Here’re a list of things to look up for your convenience, to cover your base:

• dual boot
• desktop environments
• Linux begginers friendly distros
• Linux gaming reddit

That’s just off the top of my head.

It’s gonna be tough. Stuff won’t work as you want it to, and sometimes you’ll end up scrounging the web for hours because you searched the wrong words. Linux isn’t plug-and-play like Windows is, it demands a lot of attention at first, and maintenance later on. But at the end of the day, you’ll have an operating system that works for you, not the other way around. You’ll have a gorgeous desktop that everyone who doesn’t use Linux will be jelaus of. And you’ll have a deeper understanding of technology, which today is priceless.

I hope this helps you, even a little. Oh, and don’t pay attention to the snobbish Linux users. If at the end of the day you find yourself struggling too much, not wanting to invest the needed amount of time and energy into it… there’s no shame in coming back to Windows. I admit, it’s very convenient and easy to use, and with enough know-how you can customize it too. Just don’t give up at the first sight of trouble.

Good luck :)

Hi there, can attest: have a childhood friend whom I’ve known for years, know surprisingly little about him. I think it might be a cultural thing, for men to not bond too deeply, which is a damn shame.

Pandas?

By modern, then, you mean popular. It’s an important distinction.

Your intention is good, but that’s not the way to fight this problem. Limiting LGBTQs’ ability to adopt children so society doesn’t pick on them is akin to disallowing knives because people can use them for stabbing purposes: it works, I suppose, but you’re removing a lot of benefits. Like cutting an arm when you have a cut, instead of treating the cut.

I’ll admit, I don’t know what the real solution is, and if it’s even possible to have a tolerant society and untraumatized children at the same time, but opposing the law entirely isn’t it.
