And what’s with the string addition? Never heard of f-strings or even .format()?

Based on this comment alone, I am 100% sure that you are not a lawyer.

Oh my God, you weren’t exaggerating.

I don’t think anyone said that nonviolent protest was safe…

I don’t think dying at 54 is ideal…

Good guy Satan.

Sometimes I’ll be kinda zoned out and realize I just signaled because the road curved.

This reminds me of the time that I learned that the correct answer to “what’s up?” is “what’s up?” At least in the context of that one coworker who would say that to me as we were walking past each other.

I’ve since learned to recognize these things as a “bid for connection”. It generally has little to do with the content of the question or the answer and everything to do with relating.

So basically there is no wrong answer. And there are lots of good examples in this thread!

Personally I tend to answer “not much” as a knee-jerk reaction, but sometimes I’ll remember to say something else after that.

I don’t think your existence depended on your having sex with your wife…

I think you’re still giving them too much credit with the for loop and regex and everything. I’m thinking they exported something to Excel, got 60k rows, then tried to add a lookup formula to them. Since you know, they don’t use SQL. I’ve done ridiculous things like that in Excel, and it can get so busy that it slows down your whole computer, which I can imagine someone could interpret as their “hard drive overheating”.

Is anyone else completely not surprised by DC’s being “sub”?

Charlatan?

Uh, you’re either supposed to complain about censoring or over-analyze the meme. What is this clever, amusing comment? Are you sure you’re on the right site?

I’m good now, thanks 🙂

Hey bud it sounds like our experiences may have quite a bit of overlap. I think the #1 thing that helps here is learning to have and respect healthy boundaries. Internal and external boundaries allow you to have more fulfilling relationships and feel more fulfilled yourself. These are things that a lot of people kind of implicitly learn from their families, but we weren’t so lucky. If you have the option and can find a good therapist, they can help you with this. Otherwise, there are a lot of good books about boundaries that you can probably get from your local library or Amazon.

That’s what I did, still have some trouble with IRL relationships though.

I highly recommend reading the rest of the book. bell hooks acknowledges the roles that women play in inflicting the harms on boys and men. Reading that book was the most understood I had ever felt as a cis man who until then didn’t really know what feminism was about.

It is ALWAYS “shut the fuck up” Friday.
