    To echo what a lot of people are saying, just go for it with confidence (which is easier said than done, I know.) "Hey, I think we would be a good couple and I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometimes." And if they no with same confidence (or fake it) "I'm so sorry, i must have misread the situation. Don't worry, you don't have have to be awkward around me.". And that'll take the pressure off of both of you so it's not weird

    Nope sorry. But maybe I should tell people it is. The first lyrics of the first song of my all time favorite album is "No regrets Coyote"

    Yes. I don't remember the exact numbers but the early 000s deal with computers and the later 000 deal with hoaxes and forgeries

    Of course. And no worries. I know it's a niche joke. Buckle up it's a long one. Many public libraries, at least in the US, use the Dewey Decimal System (000-999) to organize their nonfiction books. The gist is that Mellville Dewey is problematic for many reasons, but for this example you have to know that when organizing books, Dewey's best practice is that known hoaxes are categorized and shelved right along with the nonfiction books in the same category. For example the book 1421 claims that America was discovered by the Chinese in year 1421. This book is shelved right along the rest of American history in 945.05. However, the 000's is the "contested knowledge" which has ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc. I feel that moving books like 1421 into 000s it lets librarians contextualize books by essentially saying "we think this book is as true as ghosts."

    Besides physical violence, the most absurd thing I've seen was a man who bought a car after his wife pleaded not to because it would bankrupt them. He didn't like that she was "telling him what to do." They had two perfectly fine vehicles btw.

    I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed because it's easy to install and easy to get up and running,! Personally, I use Void. But I think the more important question is which desktop environment should I use because that will have the greatest impact on how you use and interact with your device.

    Losing gives you a chance to practice being happy for someone else. Remember board games especially are an excuse for you and a bunch of people you like to sit at a table and do something fun. If you can't find joy in simply playing a game, just take a moment to appreciate the joy and excitement of the people around you.

    I use Void Linux. I switched from Arch btw because I liked their package manager, was curious about their init system runit, and still wanted a rolling release. I've used it for a little over a year now and overall I've been happy.

    I'm in the same boat. I had a PS1 when I was a kid and didn't rediscover video games until a few years ago in my early 30s. I definitely appreciate games more as a form of self expression as an adult.

    Judge John Hodgman. It's about people with silly disputes, and John and his bailiff Jesse Thorn way in on them. What's great is even though the disputes are silly, they both come at the cases with such thoughtfulness and empathy, listening to the show will make you a better and kinder person. Also sometimes Jean Grae guests bailiff's and she is amazing too.

    I would liken it to more like if Debian was a shot of whiskey, Ubuntu is like a whiskey sour. It still has whiskey as a base but enough ingredients have been added and changes have been made that it's its own thing.

    Mussels. They are cheaper than clams, easy to cook, can taste just as good, and easy to make fancy.
