I was like that once. I solved it by quitting my job for a less stressful one.

Any particular languages?

I’m a guitarist myself. Piano is certainly up there on the list of skills I wish I had.

I’m a hobbyist programmer myself. I’ve picked up a few languages along the way, and by far the best approach I have found to learning is a simple but real practical use case. Find the smallest task you want your program to do, break it down into even smaller subsections, and then start to figure out how to transform it into code. It usually takes less code and knowledge about a language than you think.

The internet. Web2.0 made everything worse with trackers and three companies running almost everything.

Sounds like your circle is growing apart. It happens. In this particular case, some personalities have grown enough to not be compatible with some of the others.

I’m not good at situations like these, so I don’t really have a solution for you, other than accepting the fact that your circle of six will soon no longer be six. Stick to the ones who are still reasonable, and with time the toxic ones will either remain so among themselves or will push away the part of the group that is more in line with how you’re perceiving the social dynamic.

I just grab whatever gets a scene release on my preferred piracy site, provided that it does not involve superheroes or something else that has saturated screens for the past 15 years. And when I find myself on an airplane I look through what I have on my portable USB drive and pick something, mostly at random, because I like knowing as little as possible about a movie before watching it, to the point where I consider trailers to be spoilers.

There’s this group that provides Christmas meals for people who otherwise wouldn’t have one. Homeless people et al.

It’s pretty cheap and easy to donate - send an SMS to a number and get billed a small sum on the next phone bill, and the cost is enough to cover said meal for two people.

My work phone bill is sent and automatically paid my employer, so I make sure they donate to the same cause. I’ve been doing it for years and to this day no employer has gone on the record not in support of the cause.

Yes, that’s me asking a question in good faith in an attempt at clarify a definition for something of which I may have had an outdated one. It’s called growth. You should look it up.

Any mod would want to do their due diligence to not make their users look like a bunch of lunatics.

I’m afraid that ship sailed long before OP entered the chat.

Only those who run lemmygrad.ml can help you with this

Just hope your school bully doesn’t find it.

Great song
Great buildup
Epic guitar solo

EDIT: Seems my suggestion is somewhat popular, so in case it wasn’t already known, the entire album, Lun, is amazing.

Even better would be if they knew why they were there, and realized upon noticing each other: “YOU?!?!?”

Noted, thank you. Editing the original post accordingly.

Yes. The word is “Neger”, and up until very recently, that was the common term for people with darker skin tone, as “afro american” doesn’t really make sense outside of america. It was used up until maybe 2000ish in a similar way to how “negro” was used in the US in the 40s and 50s (and probably later), but more broadly.

It was later replaced by “African”, which doesn’t really work, as the old term could mean more than just people of african heritage.

I’m not entirely sure what’s the appropriate term is today - it’s not like i need to refer to peoples heritage through their skin tone a whole lot.

EDIT: I just remembered from when I was a kid my aunt (who married a guy from Ghana) referring to him as “neger” some time in the 90s, so it was at least at that point in time not considered offensive.

It should be noted that I’m not 100% sure of the definition of blackface, so I may have used the term incorrectly. In this specific case, it is makeup applied in a manner so the actor appears somewhat realistic as being african american (as opposed to the minstrel-show-makeup). I think theybwere trying to have him look like the actual Miami Vice guy, this being its parody. Please see the first few seconds of the youtube link and help me clarify.

As someone with a horrible posture, I found this “game” to be surprisingly effective.
