I have used it as a nicer version of web search, mostly for “How do I write code using this library I’m not yet familiar with?” It provides passable tutorials when the library’s documentation is sparse (I get it) or poorly written (they tried 🤷♂️).
Me. I should sweat into bottles.
Women being intimate openly remains more socially acceptable than men doing it, at least presumed heterosexual men.
I have noticed a shift in the last five years and more of the (heterosexual) men in my social circles have openly hugged me more enthusiastically than they used to.
I have become more comfortable being affectionate in public in general, but that’s about becoming more comfortable with myself, rather than a matter of what’s assumed to be socially acceptable of the various genders. I’m definitely falling into the category of life’s too short and I’ll be dead sooner than I’d like to admit, so here I am, motherfuckers. Deal with it.
Declaring bankruptcy on a five-figure loan. I knew what I was getting into and I rolled snake-eyes.

I lived for three months in Mazatlán. I get it.
I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue.
The word you want here is “specific”. 👍
I would like to add this: I’m pretty articulate in English, and even though I speak French quite well, I sometimes feel like a small child when I try to speak it with my francophone friends, which is why I shy away from that. I feel like I barely know how to express myself and, since I find that so easy in English, it frightens me to struggle so much with it.
I say all this to let you know that you’re not alone and that practice is, indeed, a path to success. It might not be what you need, but it’s worth trying.
Where can you practise speaking that you feel safe? Where you can expect not to be judged nor ridiculed?
“Infamous” exaggerates, but I find this amusing: we had a delightful chant for our sports teams.
COCKSUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! EAT A BAG OF SHIT! CENTRAL, CENTRAL, HIT! HIT! HIT!
I’ve tried to forget that and I can’t. I wonder where they got it from.
Alternatively, use fc 371 to open the command in an editor and take your time figuring out how you might want to change it.
What kind of “better” do you have in mind to aim for here? Why do you want that?
“The only person who won’t fire you is you.”
Pink noise sounds soothing.
“You first.” 🤷♂️
“I’m not looking for a family here. I never was. Thank you for the invitation, but no.”
It could be that simple.
It seems to me that by speaking up when you’re still calm, you can avoid erupting at an inopportune moment and causing the huge scene that might worry you.
I used to feel terrified about how people judged me–for good reason, based on how people treated me when I was young. Eventually, I grew utterly exhausted from trying to please everyone, after which it became much easier to speak up for myself.
Now I find it easy to offer a cheery “No, thanks” while acting like it’s perfectly normal and leaving the other person to be confused and to deal with it.
I wish you peace as you work towards finding your voice.
“I’m not interested. Please leave me alone.”
I have a big chosen family, including people who feel like children, and even grandchildren. I don’t believe that a blood relation would make that any richer an experience for me.
I wish you continued good luck in this regard.
Would it be good enough for you if you heard the conspiracy theories around you, but you could mostly not be affected by what they’re saying?
