Everyone is a bot, including you

It means left wing

Oh jeez looked it up, no it just means opposing antisemitism and banning people engaging in it.

It’s stigmatized but if your country has any reasonable protections it shouldn’t actually be a problem. If you’re in doubt look them up and see what privacy and employment protections you have. Here in the US for example no employer has ever known I had adhd because I haven’t told them, and even if they knew it’s illegal to fire me for it without offering reasonable accommodations

Fuck you, have a nice day! You lovely asshole!

The report number is very important. Cops want to brush off stuff that involves protecting people in my experience, buy having evidence of all this is vital if he starts stalking or something like that. He’s unlikely to escalate directly to shooting, but he is at risk of escalation

I sometimes forget it used to be bad. It just works with steam

Very high given you were spanked by short women as a kid

Oh yeah, a lot of old Catholics are terrified of nuns for that reason. It was always fun to shock them by saying how my school’s nun was nice. The nuns especially targeted the sin of left handedness

Oh cool I’d been considering bluesky for lurking

I’ll care when they’re Dvorak phones /s

I didn’t like the man, he was a self important, pompous ass obsessed with how smart he was that fought to bring my country to its current state. But he did make the world far weirder for his being in it. Rest in something you goddamn freak, may you be remembered for the dilburrito

Edit, forgot to acknowledge the racism. I’d already been mocking him for so long when he went full bore on it so it slipped my mind. Absolute piece of shit he was. Unintentionally funny sometimes though

I think both are huge factors. If I had the money, I probably wouldn’t pick it up, but if I had the money to blow and there were a bunch of games yeah I might. I picked up the switch 1 and botw after a Saturday of overtime, and it was a great decision since a year later there was a pandemic, but the splurge money ain’t coming and there’s no games I’d drop several hundred dollars to play

Oh jeez, I’d heard it would probably take until around EOL

That whole thing was weird. Like, even if it was a perfect simulation, it still wouldn’t keep me dry and warm like real real estate, nor could I keep my stuff there.

It annoys me to no end that they can’t be updated on linux

For your last bit, yeah we do. Old friends catch up from time to time, you meet people through shared interests and going out to find people with them, or you go to a bar and chat with strangers over drinks because it feels good to do that. At least I do all three as an extrovert in her 30s. I had to learn to do all of these things when I was younger. I spent months alone not talking to people early in college and it was psychosocially awful. Internet forums weren’t an acceptable substitute.

I have, and yes this is the answer. Meds are great, they’re why I don’t have panic attacks anymore, but exposure therapy is the gold standard for irrational fears (as in not dangerous) for a reason. CBT is also awesome, and it’s what helped me the most. But the biggest thing I had to learn was that it’s ok to be scared, but I still had to do what I needed to do.

That awkwardness is the discomfort you should be aiming to feel. It’s just like how when you’re losing weight you should try to be spending a lot of your time kinda hungry or how when you’re building muscle you should be aiming to be sore the morning after a workout. Awkwardness is like that for socializing. Low levels of fear are also totally fine.

If you’re looking to meet people your age and learn to interact with them look up meet ups for things you’re interested in, like board game groups, art in the park, etc. If you can’t think of anything go for improv. Improv is basically a targeted exercise in learning to feel comfortable in an awkward situation, though it’s definitely jumping into the deep end to learn to swim.

And as for public transit. Do it scared. Look up a route (and back) then take the train or the bus to a part of town you’ve aways heard of, but haven’t been to, or to a medium niceness part of town. Take a walk around a few blocks there.

Ah that sucks, I really lucked out there, though I still mostly wear tshirts
