The only US politician one I truly trust, and still the one of the 4 or 5 that l like slightly less, is Bernie Sanders.

Have you tried not trying to funny? Because you are not.

OK, I guess that was a joke. A very abstract joke. But OK.

Yeah, but this is a person who doesn’t know, and wants someone to explain, and quantify it.

Even if they never truly understand, or truly feel it, it would be advantageous to intellectually have an idea of what it is, and to be able to mimic it to fit into common society, and not be ostracized.

I think I have this.

I feel everything in a social situation. To a painful, heighetend degree.

Empathy is imagining how you would feel in another person’s place, if they were insulted, or assaulted, or injured. Or even happy, or joyous.

Even if you don’t feel it, learn to fake it, and attempt to aid them. Maybe you’ll feel it, eventually.

See…

The RTFM condescending, contemptuous attitude doesn’t help.

A lot of us are not teens, or 20 somethings, and have other responsibilities and duties.

We just want the shit to “Just Work.” We don’t want to research why the last version upgrade broke the graphics driver, or why our printer doesn’t work anymore, or any of that stuff.

Granted, the distros that try to fix this have advanced light years over the last actual 20 years, but it’s still not good enough.

And yes, I have my “Compiled From Scratch Arch” membership card. Never again.

“How the hell am I supposed to feed you stupid, helpless, hairless apes if you keep scaring the birds away! I’M WORKING HERE, GO PLAY YOUR VIDEO GAMES!”

Not to be a smartass, but… YouTube?

I almost went to art school out of high school, and speaking from experience, practice… a lot. You’ll get better. There will be a moment when it starts to come out pretty much the way you wanted, and your confidence will soar, and you’ll want to draw/paint/sculpt more, and you’ll keep getting better and better.

But, find a good YouTube channel. Best of luck. Don’t quit.

Linux time, nerds, who aren’t already using it.

I can see all of them up to 5, which looks blank to me.

No, that’s divine.

I know a woman like this. She just doesn’t have those pain receptors.

There’s a woman who can smell Parkinson’s Disease with almost 100% accuracy.

On the same tangent, there was a band called Flyleaf that had a minor hit in 2005 called “All Around Me.”

In the video, the bass player is hopping around like he’s high on crack the entire video. It’s extremely distracting. The director should have nailed his feet to the floor.

Emotion.

Music the the closest thing to real magic we have.

Edit: that said, some people have… weird facial tics when playing that are distracting, and sometimes disturbing. Two guys on YouTube who review gear, and stuff, who I won’t name, seem like really nice guys, guys you’d want to hang and play with. But, one chews his tongue the entire time, and the other stares stone faced like a robot into the camera the entire time. The latter has worked on that after people mentioned it, and is much better about it.

To be clear, I’m not mocking them. Like I said, they seem like really cool dudes. But that kind of thing can take all of your attention, instead of listening to the playing.

Or speaking without permission with a vagina?!

The impertinence!

Well, that is pretty direct.

I agree.

There’s no helping actual pedophiles. That’s who they are.

Thanks for the info.

But I think they’ll still need an ad driven free version to gain acceptance.
