  • Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source?

    Jump

  • Why not? Or at least if people are choosing a browser they might not see the benefits of Firefox and just see that chromium is more spread and thus more compatible and "user friendly" (whatever that means). If Firefox isn't better than chrome, why not switch over to the bigger one...(?)

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?

    Jump

  • i read this and nobody wrote about Shutter Island? it was so so bad i hated it. I hated how people said it was so clever. it was one of the only movies that I spotted continuity errors and mistakes on the first watch in the theatre. and I do NOT believe those mistakes were intentional. the movie was so obvious is the "clever bits" that it tried to do that these mistakes were just not in the same lane. the movie tried to be an Aranovsky movie, but Scorcese is not that director.

  • How to contain ones's fear and anger if you live in repressive states?

    Jump

  • don't. be angry. show your anger. let it out in productive, constructive ways to support those who can't

  • Because we have to acknowledge the systemic privilege of white people. I'm so very white. I have my problems and my concerns, but none of them are for my looks. Black people do not have that luxury.

  • Yeah it's not about that. It's about culture, history, systemic racism, discrimination, found family, community...

    This "I don't see colour" argument is an old blind argument that ignores all of the above.

  • What was your "one that got away" and where are they now?

    Jump

  • I never said that. You know that your comment is in bad faith. If you don't tell people your old name then they cannot have any comments about it

  • What was your "one that got away" and where are they now?

    Jump

  • dude, calm down. maybe it's you? I changed my name while staying in the same job. 400 people had to learn my new name. i work in a school, so i told all the kids and the teachers. i go to a dance party every week, i've known the people there for years. one day i was like "hey this is my name now". i didn't cut ties with a single person and nobody has ever attacked me. maybe you're just a terrible person?

  • What was your "one that got away" and where are they now?

    Jump

  • As a guy who just changed his name: this last sentence just is unnecessary.

  • What was your "one that got away" and where are they now?

  • There's more than one. I saw one of them lately, she's doing good. We talked and hugged. That felt good, a little closure.

    Mostly I don't know since I am so bad with people and they stay the fuck away from me which, good for them.

    There's some I really grieve for. The things I couldn't do. The things I was too bad at.

    I hope all of them are better than I am.

  • I feel like everyone view me as a child dispite being an adult

    Jump

  • You don't hate yourself. You clearly can voice that you don't like the feelings you get out of these interactions. You even wrote it down. So you can take it now to them. Tell them in basically the same words as you used here, that it makes you feel like that and you wanted to know if they can understand why you feel like that. Good luck.

  • i choose to belive it was bait

    Jump

  • Very well written and put together. Thanks! None of this is new. But I am still saving your comment as bookmark, because it's so concise.

  • What positive things do you expect from Trumps upcoming four years?

    Jump

  • Well there's hope that it incentivices the American people to revolt or revolution. So...yay?

    Is being born a girl a fate worse than death itself?

  • Just take the T

  • How do you battle depression by your own?

    Jump

  • I know your point. Access to professional help is a privilege that few have.

    I think next best thing is socialising. There's probably groups in your area (see social media for that, meetup, Facebook, forums) that meet up and talk. I highly recommend in-person meetings. Also I tried giving my body some help with food. Carbs give you some serotonin.

    What is a sign that your childhood has ended?

  • Damn that's a strong text. Thank you for that. That really moved me

    What hope have you given up on?

    Jump

  • The more I aged, the more "hopes and dreams" I gave up on. I guess that's the normal human experience. You might want to be a pro in sports or a dancer or a famous doctor...but then you grow out of the age where reaching those is possible (dancing goes first...).

    Other than that, I've given up on so many hopes, only to then later get back to them. Like the hope of connecting to people, or to make art, to teach,...those and more are things I gave up on and later readopted.

    So give up hope, but it might just come back :)

  • Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?

    Jump

  • Hey that's cool. I get my music from "all songs considered" (new music Friday), the NPR podcast.

    Last thing I enjoyed was the new album "embers" by God is an astronaut.

  • Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?

    Jump

  • i have problems explaining my job to myself. As I sit on the floor, painting a wall or scrubbing the floor or as I'm trying to repair a door... yeah that's not my job description

  • How do I stop from over sharing/being too deep to new coworkers.

    Jump

  • I have a fidget ring. It's great. But I don't worry about colleagues any more than other social contacts. They're not some weird different set of people.

    Ask questions. That's always a good way to stop over sharing.
