The best advice I can give is to make it as easy as possible for them to talk to you. Try to be as perceptive as you can. I’ve been in a lot of similar situations, and when I could tell something was definitely wrong, I eventually realized there were better approaches than asking, “Is everything okay?” I started saying things like, “What’s wrong, and how can I help?” instead. That kind of phrasing made it easier for them to see that I wasn’t just checking whether they wanted to talk - I genuinely wanted to talk about it with them.

Try not to overdo it though, especially at first. Let them keep whatever they want to themselves. Leading by example can be helpful too. If they ask you whether something’s wrong and it’s something small you don’t need to talk about, kindly tell them you’d rather not talk about it. It might seem obvious to you that you can acknowledge something’s wrong without having to open up immediately, but it might not be obvious to them. And you can always explain it later if you want to.

It’s also important to remember there’s a reason they avoid things. If they know they’re the avoidant type, see whether they’re also the type who’d want to figure out why, together. Maybe they’ll even want to help you figure out why you tend to overshare (beyond the ADHD). That’s important too. Let them reciprocate the help as much as possible.

Again, try not to overdo any of this. It’s a delicate balance. You will overstep sometimes, and you may have to be the one who notices that as well. When you think you might have overwhelmed them, give them some space. That’ll probably be more helpful than an immediate apology. You should apologize eventually, but only once they’re no longer overwhelmed. That’s also a good time to show them you’re not just sorry. You genuinely want to get better at being there for them in the way that works best for them.

The rpi 5 processor is armv8 and it lacks a lot of support in general. That thing has made me want to break my keyboard in half a few too many times lol

There’s a pretty good chance the Linux issues you’re having are actually Raspberry Pi issues. I’ve had to do so much more tinkering with SBCs to get things to work compared to x86 systems

I haven’t had any problems with subtitles. You mind linking the issue report you’re referring to?

He was kidnapped bc he touched the butt. I had to go all the way to 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney, Australia to find him after that and Ellen DeGeneres wouldn’t stfu the entire way there 😮‍💨

You always this condescending?

That’s not weird at all

No.

The goal of marketing is to get as many people as possible to be aware that a company’s product exists. These articles are doing just that, for free.

Initial sales will probably take a hit bc of the negative articles. I don’t think they’re being written bc valve decided to stick with the same name though. The articles are probably being written bc negative headlines get clicks.

If the new steam machine proves to be a solid product this time around then gamers are going to buy it. If it’s such a solid product that it manages to turn a product line that was once associated with failure and negativity into a product line that’s associated with success and positivity then I really can’t think of anything better the new steam machine could do for valve’s brand. The (hypothetical) articles comparing the huge (hypothetical) success of the new steam machine to the dramatic failure of the past will also be a bit easier to write a headline for. More free marketing.

I’ve tried sooo many different aluminum and baking soda free deodorants and billie is by far the best one. It’s unfortunately an American company so I was hesitant to mention them, but the deodorant is just so great and I also really appreciate the company’s mission statement. I’ve only used the coconut vanilla deodorant so far but the other scents seem to have really good reviews as well.

They also started out with just shaving products. I can’t comment on the quality of that stuff though since I don’t do much shaving other than lining up my beard with a traditional straight razor.

Edit: They apparently sell a Chia Pet that all of my friends will be receiving this upcoming holiday season
