Thank you, friend. I do have two different personal libraries, but was unaware of the “external” libraries option.

I would welcome sharing libraries with you, if you were into such things.

Wait, PlexAmp allows for multiple libraries?

To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they're an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.

Dionysius did not use a year zero; the year preceding AD 1 was 1 BC.

• “The Oxford Companion to the Year” by Blackburn & Holford-Strevens

There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).

Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.

Yet again, GenX is overlooked.

I don’t think burning CDs was much of a boomer activity.

Even if you were to concede that point, which to be clear, I absolutely do not, due process must be extended to everyone in order to know who is a citizen and who is not.

That’s 20k new hires with families and home addresses that can be doxxed. I am NOT saying violence is the answer, but these 20k people should absolutely live in worry for their families’ safety because of their participation in this gestapo.

Anonymous, where are you?

Edit: here is a shot from an ICE raid in California, with a very clear shot of an "agent."

Please cite in the constitution where it calls anyone “illegal.”

A person cannot be “illegal.”

But they can be ignorant, bigoted, and hateful. Obviously.

I will, because I’m picking up that I’m making you uncomfortable.

Take note.

If you have to ask what your energy/demeanor has to do with women being comfortable with you, you should probably be quiet on this subject.

Anyone, of either gender, would react negatively to someone interacting with them with the energy and perspective you’re displaying here.

If you think that type of reaction is common, I suggest looking at the common denominator.

I guess, but based upon his parents advice it sounds like it is where OP is.

Totally disagree on so many points. Women haven’t made things difficult, if anything men (historically) have done so because women haven’t been given a choice.

But the narrative that if you’re ugly or poor anything you do is unwanted is just not true. It’s an idea pushed by those in their parents basement justifying why they don’t have a girlfriend.

Teach your son that no means no, and when an uncomfortable woman might mean “no” without saying it, and he’ll be fine. Respect for the wishes of others takes care of 99.9999% of any trouble.

People are allowed to speak to one another in public. Just be respectful of people’s cues, and that goes for people of all genders.

Do you ever make small talk with men with whom “you don’t have business?”

I’m assuming yes, you probably do. Speaking with women is the same, just be sure to pick up on cues if they don’t want to speak. In fact, I’d advise you to practice by making small talk with everyone you can, with no agenda, and pay attention to their cues.
