I’m not making it past day 1.

I just don’t know, man.

I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!

LocalSend is open-source and great for file transfer (or even just sending text) between my devices.

Flashbang warning for anyone following that link.

Agreed. Call yourself whatever you want.

I consider this:

One part sarcasm, one part hoping they’d actually do it and get in trouble.

as underhanded and immature. What kind of argument were you having?

A pot o’ pho? Isn’t that a French thing?

I just figured that’s what being a sigma male/chad is.

(Is there a non-gendered word for it?)

I use Caesium for image compression.

Not shilling, since both seem to be free and open-source image compressors.

How’s MAZANOKE different?

Probably depends on what kind of books you’re writing. A lot of people who write web serials start at Royal Road for example.

Do urgent care instead, if that’s an option where you are.

Urgent Care vs. ER

She’s also adjusted to the smell

Maybe I did it wrong, but the last time I tried this combo, the house still smelled of vinegar the next day.

Sister Leveling

Edit: I couldn’t find the full first season on the original channel, but someone else did a compilation.

Lowering the cost to produce would require massively scaling production and/or taking a loss (see: Amazon Kindle).

Also, the cheap ones now likely have really low frame rates.

If you want one that’s fast enough to be a smartphone or computer screen (and not just an eReader), someone needs to front the R&D money to make that possible.

o7 to the developers, but I can’t help but think the Venn Diagram of people who would pay for this is incredibly small.

I’m waiting got hbomberguy to come back.

May be the wrong thread for this, but isn’t it really common for people to not even know that have aphantasia?

I’m imagining the whole community from The Giver, where people didn’t know that they

and they didn’t even realize.

This wins the thread for me. shudders

Slowed down

Like pacing? Or literally .75x speed?

Edit: nevermind. Bro literally said .9x speed.

Without knowing more about you, it’s hard to say anything for sure. I can make a bunch of guesses.

One possibility: you didn’t cultivate your relationships as well as you thought. A lot of guys sink all of their “intimate relationship energy” into their partner, instead of spreading some out to friends and family members.

Maybe your ex ran a successful long-term hit campaign on you. That would fit with the cheating and the emotional abuse.

Maybe it’s due to the period of life that your friends are in. If everyone’s in their early 30s, they’re probably dealing with climate change, economic stress, children, etc. Doesn’t leave a lot of emotional bandwidth for someone you don’t already have deep ties with.

Maybe it’s a broader cultural thing. Guys tend to get the short end of the stick in general with breakups. We still don’t teach boys and men to explicitly emotionally support each other. We still don’t, as a society, emotionally support boys and men in general. Single dads get custody far less often, etc etc.

I’m not blaming you or exonerating you. Your situation sucks and knowing all the possible whys and wherefores probably won’t help you as much as figuring out what to do next.

Your question kinda implies that we all must have family deployed in a war zone though

I didn’t mean to come off that way.

All of the Jewish people I’ve met had some kind of on-purpose connection to Israel, like family members who lived there, or a community-sponsored coming-of-age trip, etc.

My having family deployed is the closest thing I have to that kind of personal connection to a place in the middle of a war, but I expected your experience to be different from mine.
