  • If you'd legitimately like to understand, you should research things like clinical depression and anxiety disorders. Not everyone has a "normal" brain chemistry. If you genuinely want to understand, try to step outside of your perspective when doing so and try to put yourself in the shoes of someone afflicted with any of these conditions as you look into them.

    These disorders can literally prevent someone from seeing many, if not all positive aspects in their life. Everything is quickly or immediately painted in a troubling or worrisome manner. It's a fucking hellscape to trudge through on a day to day basis and there's no magical fix for any of it. There are things that can help mitigate and cope but there's nothing that purely removes these afflictions. A big one is empathy from people who care about that person and genuinely want them to know they do care about how that person feels.

    Asking someone with one of these afflictions why they can't "just be happy" is not unlike asking a quadriplegic why they can't go for a swim.

    I know I didn't wish to go through every day hating the world, myself, and feeling anxious about every unknown. I want to feel free to feel unabashedly comfortable in my own skin and enjoy every moment of my waking life, but my brain is literally not wired to be able to do that with any reliable consistency. The best I, and many others, can do is just try to temper and negate those invasive thoughts and emotions as best we can when we can. How often that can happen is dependent on several factors and is not the same for everyone. I may be able to cope with X when someone else can't, and not be able cope with Y while another person can.

    Your friends may very well be going through similar things, and I know you didn't say you do, but if you are confronting them with your lack of understanding and questions like "why can't you just be happy/enjoy life?" you could be amplifying their pain and further alienating them when they likely already wake up feeling that way without any outside provocation.

  • If your school bought any of them lol I remember my high school having desks like these, and they had purchased A single left handed one and it was the only one in the school. Not very helpful if you didn’t have a class in the room where this only desk existed in the school

  • At this point I’ll be happy to get one completed play through of 1. Every time I’ve started the game and gotten to the army battles something destroys my save file and I have to start over. I stopped trying to emulate it bc of how much of a pain it became.

  • I just tested on iOS to try to translate a title and this doesn't work within Voyager. Long pressing a title to select and translate will instead take you into the post/comments and attempting a long press to select and translate a title from there just collapses the post body 😕

  • I was working on a personal project when a friend visited. I went through a quick series of successes and failures with my project and openly emoted at each, afterward he said to me "I've never seen anyone go through so many emotions in such a short amount of time."

  • Sooo many awesome suggestions here for you, OP!

    One thing I don't think I've seen yet, is that you should create your calendar events as barebones as possible and then edit them to add each additional detail. This will notify everyone else attached of the updates to your event, every time you update any of them.

  • At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am.

    "Fun" fact: Outlook and Teams have a Scheduling assistant feature that makes that unnecessary. If a person wants to schedule a meeting with you, they don't need access to your calendar to check availability. They just add you, pick a day, and it will suggest to them time slots you have open in your calendar for that day. There's no longer a need to share an Outlook calendar with anyone just so they can know when you're free to meet.

  • Not all ARM chips are in phones, nor are they all locked down like one. There are several ARM devices and SBCs now where switching OSes is as easy as swapping out an SD card. Most do use uboot as a standard and some are even capable of utilizing UEFI.

  • Location info shouldn't be needed, though. (Even though they should technically be able retrieve location data from any terminal on their own already. It's all their hardware and network.) They should be able to geoblock traffic from Ukraine/Russia while having a kind of Allow filter for the terminals they know they provided for use by Ukraine.

    It's the same concept as blocking a country's domains but allowing certain domains of that country through for emails. They just need to setup a "spam" filter.
