When I was 10, all games looked like Minecraft's textures. And you can forget 3D. And the controllers were square-edged bricks that left stinging blisters in your sweaty palms after 12 hours of Super Mario 3. And the flickering CRT leaving your eyes dry as a desert with a pounding headache. Those were the days let me tell you.
But you know what we also had? Instant loading times, no waiting on updates, and no lootboxes.
Air Canada has changed all my flights in the last three years. They are especially fond of selling me a direct flight, then canceling that one and moving me to a connecting flight with worse departure and longer travel times.
I probably won’t going forward, if I can avoid it. But there’s always that timer of hope that this time, it’s different… and it’s not like WestJet is much better. So I try to avoid flying altogether now, for other reasons as well.
She loses her phone like 15 times a day and asks if I can help find it, im like yeah I’ll just ring it knowing full well she has the fucking thing on silent, and she replies with its on silent… Welp I tried to help looks like you’re on your own with this one, good luck in your search, to which she replies something along the lines of go fuck yourself
This is so true. I think for a lot of us this advice (or often command) was most frequently heard in these exact words during adolescence. That said this sentiment can at times feel very present.
In my experience it’s gotten better amongst men. Men telling each other to “man up” has largely died, and they are much better at supporting each other. A lot have gotten much better at recognizing when to ask for help too.
However, I think there are a lot of men in relationships under pressure to always be the rock, the protector and provider. They’re not allowed to have a problem or a weakness. I mean it’s a great way to flush out awful candidate partners. Show a little vulnerability and see how disinterested they get, but it gets tiresome.

I’d say the opposite. It’s an obvious red flag that someone doesn’t open up about anything.

Not my experience, but something not too different.
In every relationship, someone has to be the safe harbor for the other to withstand the occasional emotional crisis. This role can and should be taken in turns so that each one gets each other’s back. But when your insecurity/vulnerability matches with the other person, it takes a freaking HUGE amount of emotional intelligence and energy to be the person that tanks the crisis this one time and open up about this later, when the other person is ready to take turns.
What I observe in practice is that people (man and women) only learn how to deal with this situation in two extreme ways: 1) spiral into the storm along the partner - which is a fuckup because the other person is not ready for this; 2) suck it up forever and ever - which builds up resentment long-term.
There is a middle path. It takes time to acquire it, it takes even more time to teach it to a partner, but it’s one of the main ingredients of constructive conflict resolution.
“But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that’s going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.”
Might as well extend the steps so that they touch each other. It would no longer have a platform there, but it would be easier to climb. You would have a step ledge, but it’s already a crap situation.
I mean personally I fail to see how this whole… thing… is better than like… adding a half inch or whatever to each of the stair rises in the flight on the way up… as long as it doesn’t surpass 7 3/4 inch per-stair rise, which I imagine this doesn’t come close to just by the way it looks, you could probably kill a lot of that weirdness with just super basic alterations…
No, I think this hazard was a conscious decision, or at least the architect who drew it up sucks.
I’m surprised it meets code tho, tbh. This is just begging someone to tumble down the stairs in the middle of the night.
Could even be caused by code - complying with current code only applies to things you change.
For example, maybe the stairs were in a bad place so someone moved them (I briefly considered that). Now the stairs need to comply with code, such as maximum steepness. How do you make that fit? The right way probably involves expensive structural mods (or having just said no), so this is the contractor making it fit “affordable”
I never understood that mindset. I burn my PTO as fast as I can earn it lol. I don’t believe in afterlife so I’m trying to enjoy my time here as much as I can.
Looks like some process in your startup scripts (fish profile, etc) have not completed. I have seen this type of thing when NFS mounts are unreachable. Try opening another terminal window… if it does the same thing, press Ctrl+C, then run ps -ef and see what processes are running as you that might be hung
dont think it is sadly, was working well before. Have not edited it much either. Also further troubleshooting seems there is something wrong with my system.
Have tried to troubleshoot a bit further, and sometimes it will pop-up like normal, but other times it wont. But for some reason my Dolphin can also not search for files, it will just freeze and hang until i close it. Seems like the issue is deeper…? Even using the command ls in BlackBox Terminal just hangs and makes the terminal freeze.
Not sure how to proceed to troubleshoot this…
I believe this all happened after I installed Windows on a separate SSD on my laptop, but i dont know for sure.
