It’s cool, but buying produce from your neighbors is also cool. Strong communities thrive together

I’m not yet 30 and I think it’s good applicable advice. I think you can actually practice a lot of these skills by making friends. The difference between romantic and platonic isn’t that big.

So I think the question could be refined a little. Eye contact helps build connection between people, but it’s not the only piece of the puzzle. Maybe a better question is “'How do I communicate more empathetically?”

There’s another question; “How do I let someone know I’m interested?” This question is related to the first in that trying to get close to another person (being vulnerable with each other) and communicating your feelings is how you let someone know your interested.

TLDR: get to know them and tell them you’re interested. If they say they’re not interested you can probably still be friends since you already got to know each other. Empathy and humility/vulnerability are key in building relationships.

Ah, because whoever they kill is definitely an enemy. If they were already infallible why do they need AI?

I have a couple of friends in law enforcement (NYPD & state Police). They tend to be best cops around, one of them is being sent to be a trainer so he can get some bigger promotions.

You got to ask yourself and maybe them if they are a good person. All cops are bad because of what the system does to them. But who they are in spite of what that system is doing says more about who they are as a person.

Chances are they’ll have edgy jokes, but you’ve been on the Internet long enough to end up here, so I’m sure you can navigate that.

Remember conservatives hate liberal arts colleges because people who are exposed to diversity are more tolerant of it.

Assuming it’s the US

• set up a fund to provide free school lunches until the government provides them
• give grants for people to set up housing co-ops
• hire my own army of Russian trolls (they do not need to be Russian, I am inclusive to all trolls) to fracture conservative unity/support progressive
• buy up some social media companies. (YouTube would be best, but I don’t the 300 billion is enough) make the algorithm progressive
• whatever is left over goes to renewables and conservation efforts

There was a lot more I missed when I switched, can’t think of anything now. I was going to joke that I miss being 19. But eh, I’m doing better now than I was then.

It’s really annoying actually. Sometimes you’re asking something completely benign, and it’s likes sorry I’m an AI and I can’t do anything.

Example: I asked it what a commonplace book was. Apparently language models don’t have the capacity to help with that!

I know a few trans or nonbinary folks. They either go by he, she, or they. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t. Then again I live in a weird progressive rural community.

But if someone asks me to refer to them a particular way, sure what not? It means more to them than it means to me.

Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it’s going to be years from now.

Sabayon Linux. I’m not sure if it’s still releasing updates, the main website is dead. It was based on Gentoo and later funtoo, but had a package manager of precompiled binaries. You could still use emerge if you wanted to. Definitely a weird and interesting distro

Blend OS is trying to do the declarative nixos thing but with an arch base. That’s pretty cool.

ClearOS was Intel’s attempt at an immutable os. From what I remember it was really fast.

Edit: actually it clear Linux not clearOS. Edit: also clear Linux is stateless. I don’t know, there’s a lot about it I don’t understand

Oh man I feel this when people ask for directions. Because I know how to get somewhere, but I also forget a lot of steps along the way.

A slack line? Maybe over budget

Stuff to build skate features, or wax for waxing curbs

If he lives by snow, a park rake is super cool for building snow features. It like makes a perfect jump for you.

G-form (knee)pads maybe lame, but by far the most comfortable protection I’ve ever worn.

A knife, 10 year old me would spend hours widdling sticks, trying to make wooden swords and stuff

3d printed nerf guns are amazing now. If you have access

Me neither!

If I think I’m a lost cause, why would I even try. Some people think they deserve to feel like shit. But I also agree with you that the desire to not feel like shit is what got me working to feel better. But liking myself is the lube that keeps the whole machine from seizing up into anxiety and depression.

As a fairly attractive person who also suffers from depression. It really doesn’t matter. I can find so many reasons why other people don’t like me. So many reasons why my actions are ultimately pointless and worthless. And that’s the thing, when I’m depressed I think I’m ugly. Don’t take my word for it, think of all the Hollywood stars that have or do suffer from depression.

I don’t think it matters what you have. Depression can make a shit sandwich out of any situation. But once you work through it and become fun to be around things change. Even if you’re only fun for yourself to be around, that’s one more person who likes you.

Is it not common to refer to your friends as a boy or girl? I think it could definitely be infatilization in some contexts, like the one cited in the paper(professional work setting). This context however is 2 friends going on an unexpectedly long hike in the woods and finding a giant mushroom

Wait, I thought I changed it to reishi. Is it not displaying for everyone else?

It had broken off of that log before we found it. It was all dried out and was surprisingly light. I would not normally disturb something this extraordinary, but it seemed harmless given the circumstances.
