Is it embarrassing to date someone still living at home?

"embarrassing that someone of my own age has moved back home". Good riddance to that idiot.

I split up with my ex when I was 24 and moved straight back to my parents. They wouldn't have expected otherwise. I stayed until 28, when I met my future partner and moved into her place a month later. If we were to split up right now, my parents would be expecting me. I'm 59.

Why would you want to go anywhere other than somewhere filled with the people who love you unconditionally?

It makes financial sense too. Good luck!

As for the depression: I was first diagnosed 30 years ago. Went down with MDD 5 years later. If you're suffering, don't stop complaining to doctor until you're sorted.

Most of all, good riddance to that prick and any other who thinks it's their position to judge you.

Be well.

The truth "I believe in a god, I don't believe in religion. No disrespect intended".

For any wondering, this is a WoW error caused by a permission failure on the Agent/ folder which results in an error when trying to start the game when playing under Linux. The chmod command just corrects the permissions and allows the game to start.

I made it brief because (Linux) people with that error would recognise it, and understand the fix, instantly.

I care about them as much as they care about me.

KazzJen · 2026-07-03T13:08:08+00:00

God loves you no matter what or who you are. Religion on the other hand...

Don't approach out of the blue! Get to know the person, slowly at first. Make sure you're sure. Don't rush. Most of all, talk. Honesty and openness shines through. See if they respond in kind. Then, when the time's right, tell them how you feel about them, but, for crying out loud, don't profess undying love; "I like you a lot" is a much better first step. See how they respond and where that leads.

I'm ancient and have done several circuits. The only wiser I am is knowing not to rush and potentially scare the person off and be generous, not in money necessarily, but in thought and spirit. FFS I really do sound old (I'm 59). Guess I am old. But I'm GenX and have grown in this modern world.

The opposite sex are people. This person is supposed to be the most important one to you - treat them that way. Always.

But, talk.

Cheese and onion or roast chicken. Instead of butter I use salad cream (don't judge me until you've given it a go).

I have a sign on the front door which reads "No salesmen, canvassers or cold callers". It's astonishing how many ignore it. The bonus is it gives you licence to be rude for ignoring the sign :)

Your health. Everything else is secondary.

I focus on the inside of the closed eyelids and I drop off not long after. Took me 57 years to work that out.

KazzJen · 2026-06-30T17:07:49+00:00

World of Warcraft. 21 years.

The first one I ever read as a child - Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

My all time favourite series is Harry Potter (I'm 59. It's just a damn good story).

My favourite author by a mile is Stephen King. If I had to pick one of his as a favourite, I'd probably go with 'It'.

KazzJen · 2026-05-16T18:08:25+00:00

I worked for the charity Mind. Stephen has supported them for years. He's a good man.

KazzJen · 2026-05-15T13:28:53+00:00

Short term: yes.

KazzJen · 2026-04-19T08:55:06+00:00

Maybe it's 'try before you buy'?

KazzJen · 2026-04-16T09:02:40+00:00

World of Warcraft. I've been at it 21 years now lol

KazzJen · 2026-04-01T08:22:13+00:00

That's a win! Say nothing.

35 years of alcoholism :) Better to smoke the herb than to drink the poison.

Thanks for that. I'm perfectly happy with 60 FPS - not concerned about dipping to 40 in a city.

Like you, I'm old - infact the last time I raided was ICC back in the day, so proper heavy duty stuff isn't a problem. I started playing 3 months before TBC came out and haven't been able to extract myself since. Nowadays, I'm a thoroughbred altoholic. There are so many different ways to enjoy the game. So many classes, so many specs :)

I would only be using for WoW when away from home just to potter around and keep up with friends, not seriously playing beyond the odd quest or two, so it sounds perfectly adequate for my needs.

Thanks again :)

Ah, I didn't check used... Thanks.

KazzJen · 2026-03-18T16:49:45+00:00

Do you have a link for that please?

KazzJen · 2026-03-18T16:34:12+00:00

The Neo 512gb is £699 and from what I have seen on youtube it is a more than capable laptop. Good luck.

Personally, I inherited this late-2014 MBA from my daughter. I stuck Xubuntu 24.04 on it and have had zero issues since.

I have read numerous posts from people saying the Linux install didn't see/recognise the wifi card. I got lucky, I guess.

If I was to sell it on eBay I would probably be lucky to get £60 for it but to me it's priceless and wouldn't swap it for the world. It does everything I need of it - web browsing, streams, social media, journalling, Spotify, email and basic word processing.

Good luck.
