    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

    What about "Hey l'm so sorry I really can't talk right now, I have to finish the yardwork before [some excuse] but I can stop by tomorrow to chat for a few minutes."

    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"

    I actually wanted to make a systemd meme that wasn't a part of the flame war at all, so this meme isn't taking a stance, just here for your amusement.

    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."

    What's the most absurd thing you've seen someone refuse to do because of toxic masculinity?

    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.

    From what I looked up it means something like dude or mate. It's also used when expressing suprise? If native speaker has better insight I'd appreciate it.

    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.

    Apologies if this is a dumb question. I use a different VPN instead of Mullvad. If I install that VPN's plug-in and delete the Mullvad's VPN plug-in would that make me easier to identify since I've made changes to the browser?

    For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.
