I will probably get a lot of flak for that but I would be tempted to say: any tattoo one can't easily remove.
Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful tattoos out there, there is no question about that but isn't it a bit... presumptuous to think one will like a drawing or a some text inked under their skin... forever? That's the reason why I never got tattooed.
I always had a thing for certain traits and features often associated with Asian women (no, not the Hollywood kind of Asian women). It doesn't mean I 'm looking at Asian women with lust in my eyes nor that those traits are exclusive to 'Asian women'... whatever that means. I mean, I'm French and there is no such thing as a French woman or man.
For me, it just means that very early on (aka, I was still a little boy) I felt more attracted to those traits than to others and I could find them more frequently associated with 'Asian women'. Where does this attraction comes from? No idea, it just is.
And in case anyone is wondering, nope my spouse is not Asian and we've been doing fine for the 25 years and counting we've been together ;)
As an ex addict to (too many) substances (not marijuana) I can easily see a few cons regarding drug usage but the real pro, if I had to pick one, would be to remove all that money from drug dealers.
I have nothing to offer but some sympathy and one advice: I have two critical backups running: my personal files and the various folders containing my config files.
As I learned more or less the exact same way you just did how critical it is to backup those files too as, losing them by formatting my drive, I instantly realized they're as personal and important as my 'real' files are.
I want a serious answer, how should I find people online to talk to about anything really other than politics?
You don't.
You don't find people online (or IRL) waiting for strangers to start a discussion on some random topic you feel like talking about. Because people, unlike trolls, are busy with their live.
What you can find is people willing to discuss with someone they find interesting or, with any luck, intriguing on whatever topic you both are interested in.
So, what are you interested in? Have you any hobbies, interests, passions? Find small communities around those topics you're interested in, and start posting. Do the work to show you're there and that, maybe, you're worth discussing with.
There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.
CoughVanceCough. He is bright & very smart, powerful, and young. His Munich speech for example, even though too many of my EU fellow citizens (and representatives as well) dismissed it as non-sense and mean, was quite articulated (very hypocritical too, but that's not the point) and, well, quite informative on what the USA want to do and what the USA will do.
And so is Bessent, in a less rhetorician way even though I don't imagine him becoming a leader but that's just my gut feeling ;)
I’m not American so have given up trying to understand the actions of a mad man.
The issue is not that it's the action of one mad man.
The dude has been elected by a lot of people thinking that his ideas were the way to go. To me that's the real issue. Trump himself could vanish he would as quickly be replaced by some variant with very similar ideas... And that wouldn't change much (save maybe that this other person would be less orange and less illiterate? Maybe)
As others have suggested: next door local shops. And then, other online shops.
For example, here in France, the law make it so books are sold at the exact same price everywhere, be it on Amzn or in one of our local bookshops. I'd rather talk to nice human being than fill a web form, and I'd rather do business with someone that can also do business with me than send money to some billionaire. So, I order at the local shop ;)
I find almost everything I need. It just requires me:
to go there, or to pass a phone call (it's nice talking to people or to re-learn to do it... and it's never too late to start doing it either).
to plan my purchase, as those small shops aren't open 24/24 and don't have a bazillion and a half items in stock and they can't get it overnight either (which is good too as it helps me distinguish between what I need from what I 'stupidly' want to buy)
And for the rare few things I can't get elsewhere (at the very least I will try to directly contact the seller on Amzn), well, either I will have realized I don't really need them, or I will find some alternative or, then and only then, I will order it on Amzn which since January had not been that frequent, but that's just me.
Show her you learned both what trust means and how valuable forgiving is. And not just when it's something you need to be forgiven for.
Like others have mentioned: making it a habit to talk about everything is key. 'Talk' meaning to openly discuss or dialog about any issue, aka say what you think needs to be said and listen to what your spouse thinks needs to be said too, not blaming the other or venting (venting is good too, at other times). You both need to do that in order to solve any issue before it can grow into anything more serious.
Not at all coming form someone that cheated on his spouse, that is in a 25+years and counting relationship that is still growing stronger.
Safely? Do you have a backup of the files in that C drive? I f not, do a backup be fore you do anything else as there is always a risk (of losing all your files) when resizing a partition. Sorry that I cannot help more.
I’ll admit I’m often verbose in my own chats about technical issues.
Don't. Time is too precious. Even more so when it's time spend working. if you feel thee need to be chatty, you may want to write a novel, or start a blog ;)
As others have mentioned, make sure there is no security issue with using AI. Seriously.
To be precise about France, only polygamous weddings are forbidden but being polygamous without being wedded is not illegal.
True that, but those persons still lack any legal status, unlike married or 'pacs'ed couples. I mean legally, in such a, err, cluster of person would be considered the head of the family and no one would be able to take medical decision for the others if they needed (they aren't considered 'family') and no could inherit from the other(s) I mean not tax-free like in a standard couple. And the moment they've kids... Things can become real hairy. Edit: well, exactly like you mentioned already (I should have read the entire comment :p) but the point is that they would lack any legal status (like up until recently homosexual couples up until recently would have lacked one as they could not get married or pacsed).
Would it be frowned upon?
At the very least, feminists (young as well as old ones) would frown upon that. And I think most people would look down on it, even if they may not be openly hostile.
