I've seen the videos about historical fashion
I know for a fact that this is all fabric padding. u-u
You WILL look like you have an impossibly thicc butt and an impossibly slim waist if you've basically strapped a Blahaj to your ass and another to your boobs.
I am all of these depending on how depression/anxiety has been treating me lately
Linux in the modern day is a much comfier experience for an uninitiated user. But the real nightmare is using Linux WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION (it STILL super sucks nowadays), which depending on how you were connecting your old machine to the internet, the only solution was "... Buy a different network card/Switch ISPs entirely"
Linux has gotten a lot better about just. Supporting hardware in general. And once you GET a Linux distro (any) on the internet, your life gets much easier.
Zones belong in Sonic games and nowhere else.
(I'm joking btw)
The Petty One: Optical Media is Bad. It has always been and always will be. We used it for as long as we did because there was no better choice. But when it came to music I went straight from tape to mp3 because I never trusted CD's, and I will continue not to trust CD's.
The Serious One That Might Ruffle Feathers: The entire school curriculum of every country should be wiped out -- And replaced with fifteen years of nothing but reading comprehension. We live in an era where information is extremely cheap but knowledge is priceless. And to go from information to knowledge, one needs to have a well developed reading ability and bullshit filter. There's no point memorising a bunch of nonsense when it is easier and faster to use technology -- We stopped doing recitations when we invented writing, you know? -- What IS important is understanding what you are seeing and recognising lies for what they are.
It makes sense, I'd just never seen it. My brain sees 'zoom' and thinks 'business, work'.
Me and my role-playing mates are also on that VTT+VoIP-Call life because we live kilometers away from one another.
whow, RPG over Zoom. Didn't know people did that. It was always Discord for us. (WELL, Skype in the way back when times when my back didn't hurt but y'know)
In conclusion, your experience here can be what you make of it; don’t be afraid to just block the parts that stress you out. You’re not “creating an echo chamber” as everyone likes to say (often in bad faith) – you’re just taking care of yourself.
We really, REALLY need to de-stigmatize blocking people. Bad-faith concern trolls have successfully convinced people that "choosing not to interact with someone" is akin to censorship and also bad for us because what do you MEAN you don't want to be disrespected by a complete stranger? Are you creating an echo chamber by preferring to be with people who are nice to you?!?!?!?
Like. No. Fuck off. That's not how it works in real life. We're not friends. We're not even co-workers for me to be stuck having to be polite to you even if you're an asshole.
You're a complete stranger and you're saying rude shit at me (or even at other people with me bearing witness), at best I'll walk away because I don't need that shit, at worst I'll call you a wanker and hit you in the face.

I can't argue with that.
If it is any consolation -- It was most likely a robot.
Like 99% of large reddits are almost entirely moderated by a modbot, and the modbot is stupider than your average LLM assistant (and LLM assistants aren't very smart), while also being extremely strict.
I must wonder why not. Like, clearly those things are enriching to you, aren't they? Why wouldn't you have learned them on your own terms? Assuming nothing was stopping you? You seem not to be an incurious person? Again, information has never been cheaper, you just have to look for it.
Like I'm not trying to make fun of your explanation or even say you're wrong. Just... Genuinely wondering how come
