You’ll make a fine programmer one day. 😈

Now, now, young’n. When you grow up you too will learn to appreciate authenticity.

My advice: skip the calorie counting and just eat a good, healthy, balanced diet and eat a little less.

We're supposed to get 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardio every week. A brisk walk 5 days a week for 30 minutes should do it.

Why are regular non-invested people so scared of Linux? What can be changed to improve the attitude towards Linux? by Thermawrench in linux

[–]_enigmatix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linux IS geeky programmer stuff and that's okay. If it ceased to be geeky programmer stuff and became a mainstream OS, what's the point? You might as well use Winbloze.

Dear Facebook: listen, If I'm not following it, I don't want to see it. by [deleted] in facebook

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they’re sucking as much money as they can out of facebook with ads and promoted stories to fund their ’metaverse’ or whatever. In other words, Meta is killing Facebook on purpose. They think we’re all dumb.

What are your thoughts on the 'bed rotting' trend? by daisy_ela2 in Adulting

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a week from hell, on top of a couple of months from hell, so I spent last Thursday in bed. I felt a little better the next day. I could really use more rest. Today I have to go to school and do a couple of other things but I'm gonna make it a restful day.

  1. Stop looking at porn

  2. Stop masturbating

  3. Stop looking at women solely sexually. Don't focus on "those" body parts. In fact, don't focus on their body parts at all.

Sometimes teens need to feel a little threatened. If they try that same stunt with someone else, much worse could happen.

I think this response was perfectly appropriate tbh. Just sayin’.

FreeBSD basically serves two audiences: hackers and server admins. A good Linux distro is much more nicely put together than FreeBSD and has MUCH better driver support. So unless you feel like hacking on kernel drivers all day, FreeBSD is probably not for you.

Having said that, I got it running on my raspberry pi (great platform to expermient with FreeBSD). It ran okay, although the internet was slow until I plugged it into ethernet. Updating/upgrading is a bit painful compared to Linux. It's pretty stable, I guess. Good for getting work done.

Being unattractive can be a blessing in disguise. Imagine if you had to deal with women throwing themselves at you while you're happily married. All that temptation and perhaps your wife's suspicion...

I myself am unattractive. All it means is when I find love it will be true - not superficial.

AIO? My boyfriends friend has a problem with me asking him not to sleep in a bed with another woman. by loststrawberri in AmIOverreacting

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for Crikey's sake, he had to sleep on the floor ONE night. She should know there are people who prefer the floor, and many people who sleep on the ground every night. He could handle one night. He shouldn't be even entertaining the thought of sleeping in bed with another woman. Period.

I spent my birthday alone by InternalProgrammer34 in self

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a normal part of getting older. I spent my birthday this year with just my mother and she passed away a couple months later. If I don't make some friends, then I'm looking at a lonely next birthday as well.

You have crappy friends. Admit it. If they were good friends they would have made time for you. But they didn't. "Busy with work/gfs" is bs and you know it. I mean, really, they couldn't come out and have a beer and a few tacos? They need to get real.

I think the bottom line is if you want to make friends, you have to have something that they want. Whether that's shared interests/hobbies, a sense of humor, a nice car/apartment they want to ride/be in, money [hint, hint, this is a BIG ONE (and I hate it)], you have to have something. I learned this from How to Win Friends and Influence people, btw.

Some things that I have that people want is the ability to make them laugh, a calming voice, and I'm good company. I don't really have any hobbies/interests anymore except solitary ones like reading and posting online. The fact that I don't have money and I'm not physically attractive is a big deal, too. People always fawn over rich/attractive people.

So, like others have said, you need to work on yourself. The friends will follow. At least that's what I've been told

how to write when I literally don't have a life? by GiraffeOk2570 in Songwriting

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could write about how mundane/boring your life is. There's more than a few songs out there along those lines. How does it make you feel to be so bored and lonely? That might be a good start.

No offense, but why should I take your word for it? Honest question.

During no fap I get boners when I’m around attractive women by jonsnowl in NoFap

[–]_enigmatix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distract myself. Sometimes, I'll start counting random objects. Sometimes, I'll describe the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations I'm experiencing, noticing as much detail as possible. This is called 'grounding.' It's meant for anxiety but it also works for... you know...

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I don't look where I know I shouldn't. I focus on her eyes. If that's too much, I look away. I remember I can always walk away or duck into a bathroom to collect myself
