I’ve been learning Russian and it’s so much fun. Very challenging, but not as much as I expected. Of course, the case system is quite different from English, so you would have an easier time with French or Italian.

I’ve also heard Arabic is very cool to learn. It sounds quite nice too.

They like white gangsters. Insert Family Guy “OKAY” vs. “NOT OKAY” skin tone sign.

Is the file manager Thunar, Dolphin, or something else?

Maybe I’m old and cringe but MAHA just reminds me of that weird grandma character that Amanda Bynes played on the Amanda Show.

Do you have strategies for when you’re talking to another person with ADHD? My wife and I both have inattentive type and this, while it seems like a good idea, probably won’t work for us because we likely won’t remember what the pinned word/phrase is.

Yeah, I’m the same way. I learned mostly through making Docker containers and bumbling through tutorials/documentation until things worked, just deleting them and starting over when I fucked up irreparably (except the compose file, of course).

There are a lot more comprehensive written and video tutorials than there used to be so those are very helpful too.

Well, the reason people are being weird to you about this is because you’re being vague on purpose and they don’t want to be someone who helped foster a community that discusses how pedophilia and CP should be legal and black people are subhuman.

Basically every debate forum will turn into that if you don’t monitor things and make sure there are clear ground rules enforced by competent moderators. If you are being genuine, you will have to be prepared for bad faith actors, actual pedophiles, abuse apologists, racists and ethnonationalists, and the resulting mixed opinions of the community and not get upset like you are doing all over this thread.

If the community that you want doesn’t exist, then to solve that problem you’d either have to make one and mod it properly, or find people IRL.

What you can probably do to build some knowledge if you’re going to be using AI anyway is ask it to explain some of the concepts to you. You also have the ability to ask clarifying questions about anything you don’t understand.

Unfortunately, Kavita follows a rigid file structure on purpose. Joe has said he wants it to work this way. However, you can use the “Save to Disk” feature in Calibre to specify a custom file structure for Kavita so you don’t have to do it manually.

Here is the Kavita wiki article on how to do this: https://wiki.kavitareader.com/guides/external-tools/calibre/

Have you entertained the notion that the term “sigma male” is also a lightning rod for people who have specific ideas about masculinity and, by extension, its relationship to women?

What I am getting from your incredibly vague post is that the topics you are interested in have connotations that would imply to others that your interest isn’t entirely academic, and so they become wary of your motives/beliefs.

Let me frame it more hyperbolically: having an autistic special interest in Nazi memorabilia raises a lot of questions to other people about whether you are interested in more than just the memorabilia.

My existence is basically the reason my parents separated when I was 4 (my mom baby-trapped my dad out of insecurity). It’s not my fault, they’re just shitty parents and weren’t good together.

Feeling guilty doesn’t change anything and it just makes you annoying for anyone to be around. Constantly apologizing isn’t a personality, it’s a chore to do and to listen to. You have the right to have emotions and opinions and say no to things.

If this still haunts you as an adult, your parents probably offloaded the emotional burden of their divorce onto you. Consider whether any other six-year-old on the planet would deserve this kind of punishment, because that’s what you’re doing to yourself.

Lol, I remember when my parents had to explain what this meant when it happened in 2009 or so. Now it’s happening again. Fun times ahead in the US.

I’ve heard the term “gynephilic” before. “Androphilic” would be the term used for being attracted to masculinity btw.

That said, you’re free to consider yourself to be whatever sexuality you want. There are more than a few self-proclaimed straight men who are attracted to males who look pretty. Do you.

Yeah, there totally were alternatives, but they were like, writing a 20-page paper or presenting a topic directly to the professor during her office hours.

It seemed like more of a time-save for me and a boon to the researchers to just do some studies. I think it was only 5-10 and it was really simple to sign up.

I sort of just try to contextualize the words and their meaning and draw upon my experiences to fill in the blanks. I still have other senses and my own mental concept of things and how they fit together. I can imagine “faces scowling” or a muddy street and how that affects the story and its setting, just not visually.

I will often infer the emotions of a scene and place myself within that context, since I usually am drawn to more character-driven experiences. I know what a room will look like based on the description, I just can’t hold an image of it in my mind.

I should also note that there are levels of aphantasia and everyone is different. I kind of have a little bit of visualization, but not much. Like limbs moving, some motions, etc. kind of like stick figures that can barely move. It doesn’t allow me to “see” things with any detail, and if I were to try to visualize (for example) a golfer taking a swing, the swing gets to the ball and then stops. There’s no physics applied to it.

I actually joined a psychological study in undergrad, because it was mandatory to do some, that was about visualizing and that’s how I discovered that I have aphantasia. They asked me to visualize and describe certain things and I was like, “I can’t” for basically every question. The researcher’s face was sort of priceless, lol.

I have aphantasia so I can’t visualize much of anything. But I did understand the passage.

I read a lot of fictionalized historical diaries as a kid (i.e., diary entries written from the POV of a fictional character living during important historical events) because they were given to me as gifts and the writing style is somewhat similar, though not as creative with imagery as Dickens.

It’s not pure. It’s water from the air, which contains all sorts of crap. Especially if you smoke or have pets.

China hasn’t been communist for decades. At least since Hong Kong was handed over (1997) if not for longer.

He FA’d and now he’s FO-ing. Lol.
