It's a shame that Americans have been deprived of community for so long that they feel this way. Accommodating people takes so little effort

Oh yeah that wasn't very much even though it was so fucking good. I've been hearing rumors for years that they were going to bring that back and I think with BioShock success it should happen!

IntelliJ products my dude! If you go on there education side you can find the packages for free to compile yourself. There's tons of guides online to do it.

Just got through my last chemo Friday! I haven't been declared cancer free yet but August 20th should be the day!

What the fuck are they talking about? Bioshock is one of the most popular games ever played.

L Vue scan pro is a must if you're into analog photography. The software that usually comes with scanners and printers generally doesn't work on Linux and if it does it's terrible.

I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn't really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.

I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.

Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that's just really helping.

Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don't give up!!!!!!!!!

I would find it very sexy if my male partner sent me nudes while doing boring stuff like reading a book. Maybe get flirty and get an apron and cook naked on a video call together haha.

I was in a long distance relationship for a long time and my boyfriend was very uncomfortable sending nudes, which made me bummed, but he did send me body pics which I really enjoyed. Seeing a partner's face and arms and chest in pics is great.

Mirror pics are also nice cause it's fun to see your partner see themselves as sexy.

Adding humor now and then is good too cause it simply makes people more comfortable.

Next time you're together, have her take some pics of you 😜

It feels more like sucking a nipple than getting your nipple sucked. Plus I have to do it in such an awkward way that it's just not nice :)

Yes! Absolutely yes! But, those people do exist. They're just a bit harder to find. This might help

Eventually you can build a massive bubble if you find the right places to be. That includes your job, your friends, your acquaintances, your grocery store and more. When I interact with full on normies it is so deeply jarring, because I do it so rarely.

But honestly you can still get lonely in that situation because you found your people and you still can't connect. So I'd say it's most important to be able to address loneliness in the self. Become someone you want to hang out with. Do interesting things and pay attention to non human things for a bit, like birds or interesting plants on walks, or volunteer with a community garden. Go full DIY, start biking, get a dog. If you're single and not tied down you could go woofing for a bit, travel the world for free. Volunteer at hostiles and go solo backpacking until you either fall in love with yourself or some random person or two or three. Dang but also remind yourself that it's ok and normal to be lonely. You can give yourself that space, but you will always be lonely if you cannot love to be around yourself.

Wow my edible kicked in while I was writing that and it's either insane or helpful, but my sentiment is, I hope you never feel lonely for too long. Reach out anytime. Love ya, friend.

 

It looks like taxes increase and any kind of post-life planning can be done with a few legal filings rather than getting married. Is there any real benefit? It kinda seems like it's just a way to trap people in relationships, probably traditionally, the woman.
