He had an argument with my then girlfriend, and stopped talking to me for some reason. We never had any issues or arguments, but he simply won’t reply to me or return my calls. After a while, I gave up. We had been friends for about 7 years at that point.

I don’t think it’s worth it to argue with a person of such worldview. Maybe someone with more patience than me will reply.

For me, the most essentials are definitely:

• PhotoPrism
• Jellyfin
• Navidrome
• Wiki.js

On that note, Paris, Texas is a great movie.

It’s simply the truth. Go around and ask 20 people if they’ve read a single piece of poetry in the last year, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

It’s not even being edgy. Most people don’t get high concept art in general, and there’s nothing wrong about it. I certainly don’t understand classical dance, or abstract paintings. You need some degree of competence in any art form to truly appreciate it. To think otherwise is incredibly arrogant.

What are you talking about? Everyone hates Nintendo for this shit.

No war but class war.

Hate this shit. I remember being a kid. It was torture. I was cut some slack since my academics were really good. But it was still a pain.

I’m the mod. It’s partially my fault since I’ve never really done anything to promote it. I’d love for others to join the mod team if they have more experience with this stuff.

Oh, sorry your highness. OP must be punished.

None of the things you mentioned sounds even remotely plausible though. 🥲

Yes, electoral college should be abolished. It’s probably not gonna happen though, so this is a temporary band-aid solution that many states have implemented.

Oklahoma City. It’s just a worse version of Dallas.

Nice try, FBI.

The script you provided works as expected for me. I’m on Arch, so the binary is called perl-rename, but no other modification is needed.

The pain of drinking chamomile tea does have a masking effect.

Sure, but there are other languages in the world. In Bangla, for example, we formally use different words for different genders of animals. But people often add the equivalent of boy/girl in front of the animal name to signify its gender. For us, there are no hard rules for the usage of these adjectives/nouns.

I’m not sure I like the idea of demonizing people just because of a word. Unless it’s something as fucked as the n word, it might just be a matter of dialect. Many non-native English speakers I know use female as a replacement for woman. The intent is the more important thing. Sometimes the most well spoken man can also be sexist.

One of my closest friends tried attempted suicide last year. The first thing obviously was to make sure he survived. We don’t live in the same city, so that was a very long and stressful day for me. Fortunately, we have mutual friends who I could reach. (I was the only one he texted before the attempt.)

Anyway, after he was well, I never really pressured him to talk about it. I, and others, convinced him to talk to a therapist. After I believe a week or so, he just randomly opened up and we talked for hours. This happened a few times. But I always tried to not pressure him into opening up, and kept our friendly banter and everything. I never wanted him to feel that something between us changed because he tried to take that route. I’ll still call him names and roast him, and he’ll clap back. That’s just our dynamic. I think people often overcompensate, and end up making things worse.

That paragraph turned out to be much less structured than I had hoped. It’s just hard to put into words what to do. I guess, just try to be a good friend. Whatever that means for you. Be there for them. Talk to them. Don’t pressure or guilt them into doing anything. Don’t guilt yourself into behaving differently. Be compassionate if they do open up, but don’t force them. Just be like you usually are, grab a drink maybe, and have a good time with them.
