Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Your first sentence does clear up some space for me so…

    I do feel for you and I symphatise with your point but my experience and what I saw in others screams at me that pushing and judging people only brings more suffering, because the only reaction to that is going on the defense. Even if they agree, they will protect themselves first, ask questions later…if ever.

    Nostalgia can be a drive for better or a brake, depends on the person - as an example, it was what pushed me to finally better my mental state. I remembered how I was, and how I felt and I wanted to go back. And I did, at least mentally. Demons still out there but as you said in first comment in this chain, it ain’t gonna go away. But I wouldn’t be better if not for nostalgia, among other things, so yeah.


  • Okay. I may read the room wrong which does happen sometimes so feel free to correct me but…

    To me, you sound heavily judgemental, even borderline aggressive. Some people - me from the past included - need these small moments like feeling again like a kid to build up motivation and yearning for betterment before they can even start working on themselves. It’s rarely a matter of simply willing it to happen, and for some reason people who already feel different and unhappy don’t react well to being patronised and judged.

    If you want folk to move forward, offer support. To come out of shell you need to feel safer rather than pressured.

    Games were constantly improving and fun, pizza was tastier because it was novel (and either not paid by you, or paid by your own hard worked for money (which differs from adult hard worked money due to lack of feeling of achievement)), and oh my god the sugar rush from snacks.

    Wanna go back? Order some food you love but you order rarely, pop an energy drink and boot up some new, uncharted game after reserving a whole night to yourself. Yeah, you gonna feel like that kid back then.

    Each decade from this kids years tho will translate to an hour of feeling like shit next day tho, no advice there xD







  • Bloody hell I thought it was a matter of “Girl ain’t wanna play with fit clothing” but no. For anyone too lazy to read that, clothes were literally constricting their movement and restricting breathing.

    Other than that the “first woman to win in shorts” people talk about is about skort vs shorts which…I don’t get. Functionally the same, it seems, so where’s the problem in it?

    But also all in all can we just go unisex on this shit, without crushing peoples organs?

    Also girls feel overly sexualised. Well, we like to look at eye candy in sports, regardless of sex…but again, can we go unisex in clothing, with non-crushing design? Would solve a lot of problems.

    I feel like the very moment we go for any linux aimed at being lightweight, windows loses due to cramming cramming as much compatibility and tools as is possible inside.

    …and also you got me intrested in AntiX. I have old laptop that struggles even with Debian…wonder if that would work on it.

    People forgot already…

    EVERY SECOND WINDOWS IS GOOD Win XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad, 12 good?

    Only this time around Linux got to the point where everyday users can switch and only run into debiliating problems twice a year, so MS is losing customers.
