You should go for the top shelf stuff, sheep piss plays better with the peat.

Emotional openness, vulnerability, and availability to listen in return. Genuine expression of emotion. Then just try to limit forwarding the trauma of previous generations.

God i need my company to stop asking for ideas on how to use their chatgpt subscription to “streamline workflows” to justify the cost while claiming it improves efficiency.

My emails are already summarized, don’t AI them, they’ll be longer.

They’re translating to American English and most anime’s take place in highschool

Is it wrong to want to choose my friends?

No, it is fine and good. You get to pick friends, that’s the point. Obviously this has some fluctuation, but they should overall be a positive value in your life.

How do you balance doing what makes you happy with maintaining friendships, especially if your happiness and your current friend group don’t line up?

Do what you like and make friends who do that too. Your friends should be people you have fun hanging out with. If the activity is a prerequisite then that’s that.

Any thoughts, advice, or personal experiences would be really helpful.

I do rock climbing, met several fun people at the gym, we climb together now. Good friends. Also took a dance class, meet a couple friends there. I do what I’m interested in and those interests being friends and connections. You can always fall back on the interests/hobbies for activities.

No reason to maintain a friendship simply because of the label/category of “friend” because that’s not really a meaningful relationship.

I’ve changed my mind, I’m ok with kink shaming in some cases

Windows is already occupying your hardware and network with “telemetry”. I would be surprised if telemetry overhead alone was all that was needed to burden modern hardware and yet when i boot into windows those fans never shut up.

Being on the receiving end of crowd control munitions is certainly a better education then any book.

If you’re curious about theory there’s tons of alternatives to books: podcasts, film, public speeches, community training/workshops, etc.

My suggestion is Women’s War by Robert Evans on Behind the Bastards. I also suggest pretty much anything on https://channelzeronetwork.com/

If someone just shows up and participates with an open mind they’re doing more than most. Anyone who would gatekeep because you didn’t read such and such text should be promptly told to fuck right off because that’s a caustic hierarchical bullshit appeal to false authority and kills engagement.

If you need a (text)book try The Ecology of Freedom - Bookchin. You could probably find other books here too https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-the-ecology-of-freedom

DDG performance has dropped for me. I use a mix of their app and Firefox loaded with a searxng.

Works like old Google, No ads, tends to reduce SEO sloop that DDG is susceptible to.

I’d argue it’s any age from 18 to 50ish. But they’re 10yo’s at heart [maturity level]

It didn’t look like that already?

Miltech leaks belong in the War Thunder forums. Fake news

Saaame. I feel like my 20’s were my 40’s and my 30’s are healing my inner 20yo but in a less caustic way.
