  • Crying does help, and I’m saying this as an 40ish year old male. Both mentally and physically.

    I very rarely do, because I was raised in a home where it wasn’t allowed unless you wanted to get punished even more. Later in life it has on occasion helped me immensely.

    You should perhaps read up on what exactly happens in our bodies when we do cry, I think you’d be surprised. It’s something that we do for a very good reason.

    Also, 18 picks for me, if someone reads this far.





  • As someone looking at this from the outside (and also with an interest in space) the saddest part for me personally has been the decline of NASA. I’m doubtful they will ever get back the prestige they once held after all is said and done. I hope I’m wrong but… yeah.

    Also while I’m on the topic - I have my doubts about the chances of a long term program successful enough to compete in Europe and that only really leaves one major player left on the field: China. Everyone else will presumably be playing catch-up in the foreseeable future unless something drastic happens.

    …and with the probable war we are about to have on our hands it’s even worse. So much for science.


  • From what I’ve gathered here and elsewhere they never really went full throttle on all that stuff for most of us here in the EU.

    Now don’t get me wrong, W11 is utter shite, and I had to essentially build a new computer from scratch to even get it running properly, but I still haven’t seen any ads or any other bullshit like that.

    This is exactly why my old computer is merrily running Mint, and it likes it.

    Edit: If it wasn’t for the fact that I happen to primarily use Cinema 4D for work I wouldn’t even have bothered, probably. Relearning 20+ years of software flow for the other options seemed silly at the time, but I would’ve reconsidered had I known what a mess W11 would become for me and in general.














  • If there’s any religion I had to adhere to it would probably be Buddhism, which I don’t, really, except for the whole “we’re born, we suffer and then we die” viewpoint. In that specific case it would only lead to more, albeit different suffering.

    Unless you’ve experienced daily pain on the side of 5+ for over a decade straight I don’t really give a shit about what you think though, especially if it is because of some religious belief.

    I have a few regrets, but no unfinished business I care that much about. If he wasn’t already an alcoholic wreck I’d beat the shit out of my abusive asshole of an excuse for a father but that’s about it.
