You can buy single pages of old books/manuscripts on auction sites for that or even much less sometimes. Maybe not the oldest available, but it’s the oldest thing I’ve ever bought. I have mine framed in the hall.

Not a single word on that list would even ping on my radar if you said it near me, except for “Masseur.” If you said “Masseur” near me, I would think “oh, fancy.” -Native English speaker from SE USA

I’m sorry you’re forced to live with her. I’ve been there. You aren’t alone, and you are stronger than you think.

Here’s a prayer/mantra/whatever that has helped me:

“May we be victorious over our fears. May we be happy without hope. May we be of benefit to all.”

You don’t have to be like her. You aren’t her. You are who you are despite her, not because of her.

He’s Canadian, so we don’t get to hear the CDC say “the risk to the public remains low” this time.

Jokes aside, I wish the teen a full and speedy recovery.

OP didn’t say they were unattracted to them either. And if you saw my advice as anything other than a joke, that’s on you.

Telling someone you are attracted to them and asking them out is not sexual harassment. It might be against workplace rules, but that depends on the workplace. Having consensual sex with someone after a date is also not sexual harassment. It could be seen as “quid pro quo” if one of them is the other’s boss.

If at any point the person asks you to stop and you continue, then that is sexual harassment.

Tell him you feel shy around him because you’re attracted to him, and then ask him out on a date. Either he’ll leave you alone or you’ll get some. Win/win

Put the same text in 6 different languages (maybe: English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, and Bengali to get as many scripts as possible?) on each side of the cube. Be the Rosetta Stone of the future. Be sure to get a native speaker to look over each text before you comission it.

That should be enough work to discourage you. :)

I got a better paying job. Pretty much every aspect of my life has since improved.

My husband has had an MSI bravo for a few years. Uses it constantly, and it’s great. No issues outta it whatsoever. However, he does not use Linux on it. He prefers to dual boot and the SSD is a little small for that (if you also want to install games).

Wow. I thought a cocaine key was like short for kilo. Which I guess is an insane amount.

I never thought about putting the cocaine in the line etched into a key.

Or as Daria said: “On second thought, hell is myself.”

Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.

Your parents are there.

Sir, a 17th Zorin OS has hit the download page.

Actually, I already do that. I have two two steam deck docks, one in the living room and one in the office. I still like having the dedicated device for streaming though. Especially since I tend to download movies/shows sometimes. Can’t be filling up the steam deck storage with non-games!

I also sometimes use the deck in handheld mode while my husband watches TV.

I bought a mini PC and plugged it into the TV. I use a “wireless mini keyboard with trackpad” to control it. My husband and I have been using it for years. Beelink’s mini Ryzen PCs are quite solid in my experience. I have Linux on mine. Firefox with ublock origin. No ads, like ever.

I’m aware of Lemmygrad, yes. FOSS is the reason why I joined Lemmy, and I was at least mildly aware of the developers’ philosophy. I wasn’t aware they were moderating all dissent.

I mean, I mostly look at memes, so I never noticed that. And .ml stands for Mali, the country. I didn’t know it was a dual meaning acronym.
