I can't tell if this in-fighting on Linux flavors is in good humor or just snobby opinions.

That stock photo is irritating... Get out of bed and sit at a desk if you truly require that many devices.

Boycott Nintendo

Idk about that but certainly a realistic punishment in addition to hefty fines and jail time is losing the right to vote for life

I'm just now getting over a cold that gave me the worst laryngitis of my life. It felt like I got punched in the throat some days. So I'm super grateful today to have most of my voice back. Swelling and inflammation is reduced. Even my cough which I thought would become bronchitis is fading. So grateful to be feeling well again after a week of this.

This is a very very good habit to have. It does wonders for mental health including reducing existential dread and depression. It's not a silver bullet but it helps tremendously.

I try to remember whenever something bad is happening to me like a cold, or getting laid off, I'm grateful to not be a victim of genocide or taken as POW in Russia. Hell, not having to be drafted in the military like Americans did in Vietnam.

Being grateful in the face of suffering is its own CBT

Low effort posts? Those sounds like shit post or circle jerk level memes.

I watched that on acid... Wow what an experience. Highly recommend

 
 
 

I do like large gatherings, but I don't really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to "be myself" with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and getting to know new folks.

I am looking to meet new people to be friends, as in capital F friend, not just a random person I know. Someone who wants to hit me up and go do something fun, check in on me and see how I'm doing, etc.

How do you go about meeting people and finding social settings that foster deeper connections?
