Why should anything be crashing at this point? Everyone is still working, right? Value is still being extracted from workers, right? People are still buying things, aren’t they?

The stock market will only start crashing once the effects actually reach people’s spending/working behavior, which it didn’t yet.

Nah, you’re on a good path. If you continue to work on yourself, accept your shortcomings, you really can’t do anything wrong. Only staying still would be a problem. The fact that you ask here is already proof of the opposite.

I’m glad :) I hope you can get to a better place with your depression. I’ve been through it, I know how much it sucks. If you need more advice/explanations/help, don’t hesitate to ask.

Many people in here treated you very unfairly, because you did sound very much like you’re saying “I’m incredibly amazing and can do nothing wrong”, and some people assume that such a person could never do something different and they absolutely hate that.

A healthy confidence is incredibly important, but so is knowing that you’re not perfect either. I’m very proud that it seems like you can do both :)

The question is what you mean with “too much self-awareness”, which you haven’t said. I strongly assume that what you’re talking about isn’t self-awareness at all, but self-worth issues.

Because just knowing yourself… is simply never a bad thing. If it is, then it isn’t the thing you’re talking about.

As others have said, flirting is a “natural”, risk-free way to show sexual interest in someone.

I’m autistic and basically can’t do it. So I just go up to people I find attractive, and say “hey I think you’re cute, I’d like to get to know you better, would you also like that?” or some variation of this. Most of the time it doesn’t work, but quite evidently by what is lying next to me, it works sometimes.

Being yourself is not about not doing the things that are required to reach your goals. You still need to do them, i.e. express sexual interest. What is meant is that you need to figure out a way to do the things that are necessary to reach your goal in a way that you can actually learn to do.

New things. I simply can’t stay with anything. Makes it basically impossible to have any decent job, because people want and expect you to be an expert at what you do.

You are being irrational about this.

You’re absolutely correct that it is bad practice, however, 98% of people already follow bad practice out of convenience. All the points you mentioned against “DoWnlOADing a BinAary” are true, but it’s simply what people do and already don’t care about.

You can offer only your way of installing and people will complain about the inconvenience of it. Especially if there’s another similar project that does offer the more convenient way.

The only thing you can rationally recommend is to not make the install script the “recommended” way, and recommend they download the binaries from the source code page and verify checksums. But most people won’t care and use the install script anyway.

If the install script were “bloody pointless”, it would not exist. Most people don’t know their architecture, the script selects it for them. Most people don’t know what “adding to path” means, this script does it for them. Most people don’t know how to install shell completions, this script does it for them.

You massively overestimate the average competence of software developers and how much they care. Now, a project can try to educate them and lose potential users, or a project can follow user behavior. It’s not entirely wrong to follow user behavior and offer the better alternatives to competent people, which this project does. It explains that it’s possible and how to download the release from the Github page.

It’s not really about the sarcasm itself, what they were saying was so ridiculous that having that as an actual opinion is just completely unrealistic. It shows that your conecpt of reality in ragards to yourself, i.e. self-awareness, is currently very lacking.

Then you’re a bad friend because of your depression. It’s unfortunate and not something you should feel even more bad/depressed about, but it’s simply true.

If they’re good friends they will understand if you just tell them the truth. Instead of saying “No” you can just say, “sorry, I’m really depressed, I can’t do this”. It’s a bit longer to write/say, but at least you’re communicating honestly.

If you want to be a good friend and actually be friends with these specific people, you got to work on your depression somehow, if it is truly what is causing this behavior.

Did you actually think this wasn’t complete sarcasm?

But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.

There is no point to living. For every single reason someone found, someone else doesn’t care about that at all. If there is a point to living, we haven’t found it yet.

That said. Try self-improvement. Read about psychology. Analyze your own mind. You might find some stuff pointing you towards something.

For example. Why do you say “I save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea” and “I don’t want to travel because it costs money” just a few sentences apart? This doesn’t make any sense. You save money for nothing yet you don’t travel because it costs money? To me, this suggests some conditioning you’re a victim of, something like just following some predefined set of rules because someone (probably parents) once said “you should be saving money” and “you should not spend money on unnecessary things”. But these are just arbitrary beliefs. You don’t have to follow them.

Or. Are you afraid of something? But kinda would like to do it if it wasn’t scary? Go do it. What have you got to lose? Nothing matters anyway, right?

You might just notice if you do these two things, there is actually stuff to live for, you just haven’t found it because you either had social conditioning or fear that stopped you from it.

Anything realtime needs to be at least 60 fps, the closer to my monitor 144Hz the better. Something like a city builder or turn based strategy or non-time-critical relaxed co-op stuff is fine to be 30+.

I’d never want to play any shooter at lower than 60, no RTS, no racing game and so on.

There are multiple forces at work in a converging rocket nozzle:

1. The exhaust is pushed outward faster since the hole is smaller, giving the rocket extra thrust
2. The exhaust hits the wall of the nozzle as it gets thinner, braking the rocket

These two effectively cancel out, which is why the actual effect of making the nozzle thinner/converge is that it increases the back pressure within the engine (constricted space, smaller hole), essentially (idk how) increasing the efficiency of the fuel burning.

However, when the nozzle gets too thin, the exhaust becomes faster than its speed of sound. Since the pressure travels at the speed of sound, it can now not actually get back into the engine anymore. So that’s the limit of how thin you can make the nozzle. The pressure has to get back into the engine to have its effect, so you can’t make the exhaust travel faster than its speed of sound.

If any of this sounds wrong to anyone, let me know, I’m not an expert in this.

It’s also why rocket nozzles can’t be infinitely thin :)

You could probably call it some kind of disability of executive functioning… Many people with disabilities manage fine without a personal assistant.

So lucky this is only mild. Imagine if it was anything really really bad.

I’ve got backups. Haven’t updated or looked at my server in months. If I’m ever compromised by missing security updates, I just load a backup and regenerate all keys.

I don’t put any critical data on public facing servers.

You’ve already taken the first step. You want to.

This is not some thing you can just adopt whenever you want, like putting the plates on the right side of the dishwasher instead of the left. This will require some serious continuous practice.

Basically, to retrain your reaction to things, you must 1. understand why your current/natural reaction is undesirable 2. understand which reaction you think is desireable 3. Repeatedly expose yourself to the situation that triggers your reaction with the main goal to change your reaction.

1. and 2. requires you to continually remind yourself of these beliefs. You will forget when you slip back into your natural reaction.

3. is not easy. You can’t just manufacture adversity. It has to be real. It’s very easy to have a specific controlled reaction to something fake. So essentially, you just continue as normal, risk things, always keeping in mind that you can face adversity. You mentally prepare yourself for it so you can notice when it happens. “When I start this new job, people might be offended when I tell them I don’t want to talk to them. That is fine. I accept that they can be offended, because rejection is not a nice thing to experience, and that is what I do to them. However, I prefer this to having to suffer through their rambling. I know that this will likely cause them to help me less or actively oppose me, and I am fine with that outcome.”…

And then you just do it anyway. When your setback happens, you will first feel frustrated. But then eventually you will get a rational moment. See what is happening to you again. And then you can remember what you’ve been thinking so far. That it’s ok for this to happen. That being frustrated by it achieves nothing. And whatever else you figured out with 1. and 2. Each thing you remember should help you let go. Taking deep breaths and other relaxation techniques help with letting go.

And the result should be that you’re slightly less frustrated, for a slightly shorter time than you would’ve been without doing all this. It’s still essentially the same strength the first time, but it should be a little less.

And then you have another disappointment. That time, doing the same thing, it should sting even less and for even shorter. And so on and so on.

For me, I’m not sure how long and how many things it took. I know it was quite a few and over quite some years. Now, when I feel this frustration, it’s just a slight tinge for a few seconds at most, when I remember what I believe and that I’m fine with this, and then I can already completely let it go. Like others said, it’s a completely natural reaction, you might still feel like that. But eventually you’re so good at letting go that it takes mere seconds and then you’re completely fine.

Please don’t post fake tweets. It’s not helping.
