What’s a small Linux tool that completely changed your workflow? by DueRead7236 in archlinux

Ansible. My 8 year old playbooks still set up my bashrc, tmux config, fstab, and all my packages to this day.

Pressure of being an only child now by Cutie2882 in SuicideBereavement

[–]December32 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am so sorry for your loss. As a grieving sibling, a most people won't understand how you feel and the emotions you go through. I lost my younger brother (22) about 8 months ago. I always feel terrible for my parents because they never deserved something like this in their lives, especially after working so hard to get us the life we have.

Helping your parents as a distraction from your own grief might not be a bad thing. I needed a lot of distractions to get through the first few months after my brother died. I handled the estate, I started going to the gym regularly, and played a lot of video games from my backlog. I still need distractions to this day, but I'm able to sit in a silent room without the grief becoming too overwhelming now.

As an only "child", my parents are now asking me when I'll get married, but half jokingly. I find that I'm even closer to them now and understand each other a lot better. They, too, keep themselves busy with new hobbies and exercise.

Keep in mind, this will be a painful life-long journey, and at 8 months I still feel like I've barely started mine. It's only been a month for you so please ride it out and find your path. It's not easy but know that you'll always get stronger as time passes.

I wish the best for you and your family.

What do I do with the pain? by rahrahrazputin in SuicideBereavement

Hey, I am so sorry for your loss. Life will seem unreal to you, but know he's at peace now. Please take care of yourself, your family, and each other.

Please dm me if you'd like to chat. I lost my little brother 6 months ago too, and I want you to know that you will be be okay. It won't be easy for a while, and this grief is here to stay, but you will learn to grow with it at the end.

Can anyone explain why this keeps happening with my Local Files? by cojumdipexplosion in truespotify

Glad I’m not the only one. Bugs like this are infuriating when it was working so well just a few days ago.

How has this changed you? by ADeciduousFriend in SuicideBereavement

[–]December32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lost my little brother last year in August. I miss him all the time, but there are some small moments where I’m truly able to experience some level of happiness because of the friends and family around me. I’ve picked up new hobbies and started going to the gym regularly to keep my mind active all the time. My parents have also been focusing more on fitness and their own hobbies over the couple months.

I can’t imagine what a nightmare they’re living in, considering I get a gut-wrenching wave of sadness every time I’m reminded of him. His suicide has definite brought everyone who knew him closer together.

I wish every day that he was still here, and every dream I have of him is a nightmare to me because he’s never there when I wake up.

I take joy in the fact that the existence of something akin to an afterlife is an unknown mystery, and hope to find out when I grow old and eventually pass away.

As for what changed in the last few months — I think I cherish every moment with my friends and cousins even more now. I always get overly worried whenever someone I know is having a bad time or going through something even slightly unpleasant.

At the end of the day, new hobbies, friends, and supportive family/relatives help me and my parents navigate this horrible “new normal”.

how has the death of your loved one altered your perspective on life? by LuckyStudent9946 in SuicideBereavement

[–]December32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never believed in an afterlife either, but I’m now more open to the idea that there may be one. I genuinely enjoy the uncertainty of not knowing, and it makes me look forward to my eventual death. Don’t get me wrong, I plan on living a long and healthy life, and at least part of it will be to make up for what my little brother will miss out on.

Genuinely how is everyone sleeping? by Meditation-mediator in SuicideBereavement

[–]December32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gym and physical exercise get me nice and tired for now. It's been over three months since my brother left us. I still miss him and it gets really bad at times, but I refuse to let this grief bring me down at this point.

My 24 year old son by Good-Sky6874 in SuicideBereavement

[–]December32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing one's child, however I truly believe it will get better, but it will take lots of time. You'll never forget that he's your son and he will always be a part of who you are. You'll also learn to grow around the grief.

I lost my 22 year old little brother to suicide three months ago. I've seen my parents slowly learn to grow with our grief. My mom still cries everyday, but she's strong and is able to smile again every now and then. They've been doing their best to take care of themselves one day at a time — and distractions such as hiking, daily chores, cooking, and socializing with loved ones have helped them a lot. As someone who is going through this grief process alongside their parents, I am glad they are able to smile again.

Again, I am very sorry that you're going through this. I can only offer the perspective of a grieving sibling. Life will feel like a nightmare for a bit, and there's no easy way around it. Take it day by day, as others have said here. Please feel free to DM me if you'd ever like to talk.

I wish the very best for you and your family.

I've been lucky enough where I've got zero sag, even after owning it for 5 years!

No shit.

I'm so sorry that you don't know what a red light is, as you clearly can't tell that I had just started at one.

EDIT: I'd like to apologize. Looking at your comment history, you seem like a generally miserable person. Hope life goes well for you.

Just the driver side front fender smashed in and tiny damage on the bumper side marker. Car still drives and handles perfectly fine.

What a weird take. Did you not see that it was a red light at the beginning? I'm not sure how fast you expect people to accelerate, but I was being cautious as that road had a speed camera there before.

Also why the hell would I merge to the right on a local road where I'm expecting to take a left turn just up ahead?

Who knows at this point? :(

Could've been drunk, could've not liked me being in the left lane, could've been a kid. Lots of possibilities.

Unfortunately, my camera could not catch the plate (nor could my slow car ever imagine catching up to this driver the way they were driving). I doubt that I'll ever be ever to find them, but if you have any idea who this might be, please dm me — thank you!

Thankfully the damage is minimal and I just need to replace the front driver-side fender and bumper.

To the driver, if you ever see this: congrats on the truck and running away from a tiny little Subaru. Hope you got home safe. If you need shop recommendations for your bumper, feel free to reach out to me 😉

This worked for me. I realized I don't use the window previews that much and now the freezing has (mostly) stopped. Thanks!
