What I’m about to say, isn’t necessarily true for your guy, but it is for me.

Also, just to validate your feelings a bit, nothing you’re feeling is weird or crazy. I experience some of my strongest emotions in the context of romance, but keeping a lid on them and recognizing and controlling my feelings and the potential behaviour they might lead to, is something I’ve gotten good at. I think every seemingly sane person is doing similar emotional self-management.

And, in terms of attention, you are allowed to ask for more. Or less. You are also not required to fake the good times, unless you genuinely want to do that for someone for a bit. Doing it long term, is just straight up not healthy. A partner in life is supposed to be there both for the good, and the bad.

Showing vulnerability, is never a mistake. If someone uses it against you, that’s their fault, not yours. Still, if it happens, it’ll hurt.

I don’t know of a way to avoid that eventuality, aside from luck, or giving up on relationships entirely. And that’s not a trade worth making, imo. (Though difficult not to make, if hurt before)

What helped me, was realizing, and more importantly, believing, that any half-decent person will do everything in their power to avoid hurting others. If they don’t, then I misjudged their character, and they should not be in my life. It has made it easier for me to forgive those who did not intend it, and to walk away from those that did.

Now for what I wanted to say. I like more than one type of woman. And while I’m not entirely sure that I need my relationships to be monogamous, I always assume that monogamy is expected, and default to that behavior. I would never make light of someone elses commitment to me by assuming otherwise. And I have absolutely no problem with this. I would not start a relationship without being ready to commit in this way.

Showing interest in other people, is completely normal. Physical interest is just physical interest, and you can’t be everything a person is into.

I like short women. I also like tall women.

I obviusly cannot have both. But if I date someone tall, it won’t mean I suddenly stop finding short women cute as hell. I am FULL of contradicting interests like this.

If I commit to someone, that means I give up on having whatever that person is not. And that’s fine. That’s how it should be. If a person chooses someone in that way, that means they’ve chosen them.

The problems occur with people who do not respect the fact that they cannot have the cake, and also eat it.

That said, if you don’t like something in your relationship, you’re allowed to say so. Just be careful about it. It can be hard to communicate stuff like this, without one of you feeling like they’re under attack. In a way, you already do, which means you should probably be talking about it.

They run on internal fusion reactors, the only variance in weight should be how much fuel they might have stored at any given time.

You realize the valve hardware survey data is made publicly available?

How tf do you “sell” that which anyone can access for free?

You can actually get induction wok thingys.

The induction magnet is bowl shaped, so that when placed in it, the wok is heated all over.

They work, but apparently the really good ones are priced for business kitchens.

You mention timeshift, did you restore to the working snapshot after selecting it in grub, then reboot AGAIN?

Booting a snapshot, does not restore from it. When booting a snapshot from grub, you need to open timeshift, restore the snapshot, then boot up a second time (this time without selecting it in grub).

Otherwise, you didn’t really restore it, you just booted into it, and if you re-attempted the broken update, messed the snapshot up, too (leaving you with no working snapshot to go back to).

You’re definitely not the only one, since you’re not gonna notice the other people keeping it to themselves, because they’ll be keeping it to themselves.

That said, some people just… Don’t. And learning that level of self-control is hard. If you don’t have the skill, feelings can seem uncontrollable and inevitable. Confronting such a person with a request that they do something (control themselves) you know is possible, but they think isn’t, often leads to bad results. Instead, you need to trick them into learning the art. That is, if they aren’t so bad they straight up need anger management classes.

Apologizing after the fact is something we who actively consider others, and think about what the world is like for people other than ourselves, do naturally. But some people completely lack internal thoughts concerning anyone aside from themselves.

It doesn’t automatically mean they are selfish (though it often coincides with that) but it does mean someone might have to remind them that they owe you or someone else a courtesy, because otherwise they simply won’t realize.

People tend to react better if you ask them to apologize to someone else, than if you ask them apologize to you. If a person like this was difficult with someone else, too, you might first suggest to them that they give them and apology, instead of you. “Hey, I know you didn’t mean that outburst, but I think it really bothered insert person, you should say something to take it back.” You might not get an apology out of them for yourself this way, but it will put the thought in their heads, that when they lose control, they will cause lingering feelings that will need addressing afterwards.

Some will react badly even then, insisting the insulted party needs to “grow a pair, and shrug it off, it’s not like I meant it”. They’re not necessarily a lost cause, they might still mull it over and experience guilt they might not have had you said nothing. I once successfully made this point to my mother. Instead of apologizing to me, she was telling me I can’t take every word she says to heart, she’ll say hurtful things when angry, but not really mean them. To this I responded, that she is my mother. To me, her words feel like truth, even when I know they aren’t, because I love and respect her too much to just shrug off what she said.

If the person being difficult is normally very pleasant, or in a respected position, you might make a similar argument.

Personally, when people seem out of control for reasons unrelated to me, I will literally say that, out loud. Something like “You are being difficult/rude/loud for some reason, we can’t talk like this, we should resume this conversation after you take a moment”. But this is tricky if it’s someone I’m supposed to defer to, rather than the other way around.

If they don’t take that que to apologize once they’re back to being cordial, I might comment something like “I know I wasn’t the reason you got mean, but I’d still like to hear you confirm that you didn’t intend it”.

Once you start getting apologies, you might start having conversations about not taking it out on people in the first place, these conversations (and any real talk, really) need to take place while the person is calm, and likely to actually think about what you’re saying. Again, don’t present something they might feel is an impossible task, frame it so that it’s something they’ll feel is doable. Suggest they find an alternate way to deal with the feelings, that doesn’t target a person, but make sure to mention you don’t know exactly how that’s done. You might mention stuff that works for you, for reference, but ultimately it’s a skill every person kinda has to figure out for themselves.

Or go to therapy, for.

Considering you’re fighting this argument on three+ fronts, I don’t think you can lay the blame of deciding to waste time, on me.

I can’t help you see the point of an analogy, if you insist on fixating on the irrelevant parts you can inconsequentially dismantle while willfully ignoring the actual point.

I’m sorry it took me so long to say it plain, I guess.

VR works on linux. That is indisputable.

As in the software. No part of a linux OS prevents the necessary components, game engines, graphics drivers, etc, from functioning. It runs. You cannot claim otherwise without specifying an adverse environment.

If you’re genuinely trying to convince me that your logic makes sense, please start by justifying double standards, keeping in mind that any genuinely excusable double standard, is by definition, not a double standard.

I’d rather you didn’t, I tuned out when you acknowledged you’re presenting a personal opinion, rather than a generally perceivable consensus.

I am sorry that the peripheral specifics of analogies confuse you, but please be aware that attacking them instead of the point itself, does not invalidate the logic that makes it applicable in illustrating a point.

If requiring every conceivable mode of operation to work, is not always required, then it cannot be arbitrarily sometimes required, “because you say so”.

You will not find majority agreement on this.

Then you’re going to have to acknowledge that your opinion disagrees with most others.

And that a lot of people are going to consider accounting for what a piece of software “prides itself in” when defining what kind of standards need to be met for features to be considered “ready”, to be pretty weird.

VR works on linux. That is indisputable. The majority of people have VR hardware that works on linux. That is indisputable.

Linux is more than ready for gaming, but by your standards, it isn’t ready for that either because some games use a level of anti-cheat so invasive, it will never work.

These games are “significant” in the same way WMR hardware is, if not moreso.

And that justifies the double standard?

Who decided this is where the goalpost is, except for you?

By that logic android doesn’t work because you can’t use it on a iPhone.

What’s your point?

That microsoft didn’t enable the necessary software components to run windows mixed reality HMDs on linux?

The reverbs never natively supported any open standards like SteamVR or OpenXR.

WMR headsets are the ones that have been the hardest to get going with open VR systems like Monado, but that doesn’t mean that hardware that implemented sane standards isn’t already working great, which it is.

That said, WMR is partially working at this time.

Bottom line, if you use something that is actually supposed to work, it does. If you don’t, then yeah, the volunteer-created hacks to get things to work are still in progress.

In addition to what others have said… It is?

I can plug in my index, open steam, and run VR games, just fine.

If you ever find another, I’ll take her off your hands.

Japan needs those birthrates to rise. Can’t just be messing around anymore.

He’s kinda grown up with his audience. I dropped out of watching as I hit adulthood, then tuned back in for his “meme review” phase, where the inside joke was that everyone watching was a nine-year-old, when in reality he already had an aging audience.

He eventually grew bored with the format (and at that point already he made it clear he was doing it for fun, not because he needed to). The view counts steadily trended downwards as he switched to making videos he wanted to make, instead of ones that made money, as he was set by then.

At some point he ran a book-club style format, because he wanted to get into reading more. At least some portion of the fanbase was into that, but at that point he lost a lot of viewership.

Nowadays he seems to post very infrequently, and it seems to mostly be vlog-style content about family life and living in Japan.

That would probably be ReVanced, modded version of the official client. Fully supports both, just enable em from the settings.

for the uninitiated
