Instead of old men catcalling young girls we should normalize, young boys sweet along older women. Like:
“Damn Mrs. Anderson, the cookies you backed for you son, he shared them with us and they were deliscious.”
“Yeah, I beallt the spices in your kitchen are labelled and ordered.”
“You seem the kind of woman that always call consoles by their real name.”

Despite having access to super modells he still choose you. He was accepting of all your imprefections and struggles, because in his eyes they made you far more special and beautiful than all the other women in his life. He let you be fully free and yourself, not needing to hide your anxieties and discomforts. But he also was just dominant and pushy enough to keep you exited almost like he could read what’s on your mind before you even knew it. When you were around other women with him - women you always have felt intimidated by, his look alone could lift you up to feel on parr, even superior to them

The way he got along with your parents was almost like he always has been part of the family. Your mother starting to see his success and riches almosts as your own accomplishments. She even apologized for all the times of ridicule, not knowing that you were right all along in your choices that led you to him.

His rich colleagues all envied him for being with such a trustfull and down to earth woman like you, expressing their own wishes to get away from all the drama that came with relationships with models and actresses. Even his long childhood friends understood to bow to your relationships and that you have become the center piece of his life. And he knew it too.

Edit: Ah, I forgot about the prettier sister realizing that her better looks and working out ment nothing in the end.

To be fair. Linux starts of super light, but if used as a general OS it becomes the epitome of bloat.

Linux is like buying a car and just getting only the parking space.
If you want to use your car, first you have to install the door and interior package. Then you get inside and have to install the seat package. But the seat has adjustment levers and uses the gear shifter library because it has levers already defined.
Great now you also have a gear shifter too. But it turns out your transmission doesn’t work on the new version of the library so you have to also install an older package in parallel, so now you have 2 gear shifters, no biggie.
Next up is the steering wheel, it uses the wheels package as a dependency (because both are round and can turn) so now you also have all the wheels. But those are summer tires, you need winter tires. You get the winter tire package but it needs an older version of the rim package. Unlucky for you, the download for the older rim package is unavailable, but you’re in luck. Some guy included that version of rims in his completed but unrelated car project. So you clone his car and rebuild the rim package yourself. You now have a whole extra car, but it’s not yours.

By the time you got your one car ready to go, you have installed the parts for 7427 different cars, 27 complete vehicles and read 593 pages of documentation.

True, but at that age people are usually mature enough to know what they want. And what they want surely isn’t an romantically inexperienced, socially inept, depressed loner. And if they do, that’s sort of a red flag in itself.

Roughly your age. All my life. Because I my family was poor and moved around alot so I never had the opportunity to develop passions or intrests and was always lagging behind everyone in life. Now that severe depression has manifested itself as constant part of my life, there is no chance for me to ever have a healthy fulfilling relationship without dragging the other person down with me. So I just stay at arms length with everybody.
Also at my age, if heaven’s forbid there is still somebody who’s also single without kids, then just like me, there’s a good (bad) reason for it.

At least I don’t end up as one of those 40 something year old steering head first into their 3rd divorce. I probably won’t even end up as a 40 something year old, period.

PS: I also thought I hated women, but in reality I hated myself - women were just a constant reminder of that. Realistically, I have so little interaction with women, that I have no real reason to have any opinion on them at all.

Also, if any other country upsets it’s citizens you have a couple tens of thousand people riled up, millions max. If China does it, it’s going to be a quarter of humanity.

What they heard was:

“I’m not considering giving any money to your competitors.”

So they were probably happy.

The only thing that trickles down are costs.

Independently, as in not counting the income and support from a partner?
I’d say less than 5%.

All cats are girls and all dogs are boys, duh.

I don’t think retail workers care enough. As long as you know the PIN, there’re shouldn’t be any issues.

No, but apparently I have one of the only WiFi/Bluetooth chip of MediaTek Corps. MT Series that is inexplicably not supported. Most others of that lineup are, just this exact one isn’t.

The MT7902 WiFi/Bluetooth Chip by Mediatek Corp. does not (and probably never will) have any official driver support. There are some unsuccessful community attempts to get it working, but nobody actually managed to pull it off.

G6 Soundcard works for simple pass-through but SBX features aren’t natively enabled, you need a Windows install with Soundblaster Connect to enable the functionality and load the settings into the onboard memory of the card.
Linux “supports” Dolby Atmos but it sound mostly like dogwater if not combined with Atmos mixed audio.

Literally a flying bomb.

Which is just a footnote to Nintendo’s profits. Let’s not forget the difference between a 1 Million and 1 Billion is roughly 1 Billion.

Look, I’m a freak who loves having nightmares, but that’s beside the point. But the last time I had a dream I didn’t like, it was one where I was being chewed out in front of the whole class for being late to a lab class in college. Actually made me wake up early and start getting my shit together.

So much of what you will become as a person is dependent on your parents and upbringing, something the government very little control over, and no amount of therapy or counceling will ever undo that. So even with all the contengencies in place, people still end up being fucked up.

People just don’t get that those structures aren’t in place for you to recover from suffering, they’re in place for you to be able to get back to work to generate profits for shareholders, everything else is just extra. Sane person is a productive person.

2000 or so years ago if somebody acted up, they’d be taken out to the flower fields and capped with a rock, because that was easier.

The problem of being traumatized is that it makes you too hard to support, which means that you end up trapped in a worse and worse situation.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. It’s like the saying goes “If you build a 1000 bridges and suck 1 cock, you’ll always be seen as a cock sucker not a bridge builder.”

You have one mental breakdown and that’s what people will know you by for the rest of your life.
