Would absolutely send the right wing looneys into a tailspin almost definitely leading to a Jan 6 x 1000. Im here for it.

Im writing in Michelle Obama. Especially after reading her wiki. The descendent of slaves and has actively refused to run for president sounds like exactly the person who should be president. I don’t think she is paid for and I don’t think she can be bought at this point in time.

I love street fighter and competitive reality tv (survivor is my favorite but amazing race is my 2nd favorite). Never seen this season so thanks for the heads up. Playing Koreans at competitive video games is like asking a contestant to beat a chess master in chess- it’s not going to happen without some major handicaps.

We kind of need more information. You say you are being touched too much and the initial lack of touch is what attracted you. In the beginning of any relationship there is a natural curve to all of the things. Touch is one that goes from zero touches to a lot of touches once the relationship starts to grow. If you don’t want/ need these touches (it’s usually a good thing) then you need to have a frank discussion about your needs and if your new partner is going to be able to cater to these needs.

I’m also curious about what the timeline of this situation/relationship is at. Like are you 1 month or 2 year in? How long have you known this person and where/how did you meet?

Personally I think that it’s kind of hard to bounce back into the same vibe once it gets this lopsided and I believe that if you meet someone else right now that you would bounce on this relationship. The best relationships happen when both parties are on the same wavelength and communication goes a long way of keeping things in balance.

One of the problems I have in my relationships is that I know 2 or 3 months in that this relationship is not going to work (I am looking for forever) but I stay in it and only bale when things start to go south. This is not fair to my partner and I realize now that it is abusive behavior on my part.

If you’re American then you’re a lib. Even the American nazis are libs. The far right in the states is still left of center. Face it America is a socialist country and all the people and all the parties are just slightly left of center. It’s a country of moderates.

If you need you fix Adam savage is very active on YouTube and is just a wonder human being. It’s not MythBusters but Adam was a light during Covid and someone I put on regularly on YouTube.

That and writing down results.

In all honesty you probably need the help of some medical that will help with the anxiety and panic attacks. It might take a few tries to find the right pills and right doses but those thoughts and feelings should go away.

Decent jobs to look for are staff at medical or other professional businesses. Think accountants and lawyers. The pay is decent, the hours are mostly normal, and the environment is clean. Good luck. One day at a time.

It’s super hard to quit but I’ll tell you what helped me. I got altoids and every time I wanted a smoke I’d eat a mint. If I still wanted a smoke I’d eat another mint. At break I’d go out with all the smokers and I’d eat a mint. Driving home I’d eat a mint. It took a few containers of mints but I eventually got sick of mints (and cigarettes). After I quit I would still try taking a drag off a random cigarette and I absolutely hated it. Not sure if I rewired my brain or what but I was able to stay off the smokes. Good luck. You got this.

Pro tip: take your smoke money and save it in another account or a piggy bank or whatever. You will be blown away about how much your addiction was costing you.

I understand your frustration but if you were in this guys shoes and this was your friend calling you all day to do troubleshooting, what would you do? Spend hours of your time helping him become a Linux addict or tell them just to put his computer back to windows and be done with it?

I’m a huge Linux fan but even my main pc and laptop are windows. I use WSL (amazing btw) on the laptop with a kali install. And I’ll use powershell (also really good) on the pc for any ssh needs for my Linux servers.

Well you get an a for effort. But if your friend wants to play windows games it’s better for them to just have windows on the machine. I give it to you and your friend for going all out on a new laptop and putting Linux on it right away.

A more convenient way for a new user to experience Linux is to do a live usb for them. That way they can boot into Linux easily but boot into windows just by removing the usb drive.

Well yes you can. I am sure the investigation company poured through digital (timestamped) logs, messages, data, emails…

People won’t like this but for ease of use just use google drive or whatever Microsoft’s cloud storage is called these days. You can password protect your libreoffice documents for protection from the crawlers.

Sometimes I will go on eBay and find the same computer and buy it for the parts. Looks for one with a dead lcd screen or no motherboard or other such keywords so that you can get it for cheap.
