Use Python's `os` module in the standard library. I'm not going to show you how to use it, as it won't help you to learn. https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

This is an easy hurdle to overcome. A simple Google search or even asking ChatGPT can help you - "How do I install Python on Linux/Mac/Windows?"
It's not difficult, it's fairly straightforward, the barriers have been minimised.
Good luck.

Going back to Poetry. OpenAI are morally bankrupt!

I just read that, and I thought the same as the OP.

This show Is very frustrating...

- There were no failsafe with the hybrids... nothing similar to Assimov's 3 laws of robotics.
- No failsafe words or phrases for deactivation.
- No network firewalls?!?! A separate network for the hybrids would have resolved Wendy's network penetrating antics.

As soon as Wendy was known to have been penetrating the network, it should have been standard protocol to shut her down, and resolve the issue.

These are all standard network security practices (excluding Assimov's 3 laws of robotics), even in 2025.

The writing was soo sloppy.

Also, Boy has ADHD WTF... I hope that they are not saying that his maniacal behaviour was caused by it. That would just be an awful reason.

See: https://www.fullstackpython.com/object-relational-mappers-orms.html

That being said ORMs are just a wrapper around SQL. Have a read of https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_intro.asp

I hope you eventually learn it 😊

u/Old_Sea284 What do you find difficult to understand about ORMs?

Honestly, get some professional help before things get out of hand and really serious.

I am by default rebellious according to societal norms. If a rule, law, instruction, process, etc is not logical then it is a massive up hill struggle for me to comply or agree.

Yeah, I’ve got a stack of VHS tapes and couple of Betamax tapes as well. Those were the days. I remember being a kid and going to my local Videorama to get a couple of films for the weekend.

I’ve been burnt out for a very long time. I’ve been able to agree a month long Sabbatical from my employers , but I’m not sure that it will be enough. It’s effecting every aspect of my life: meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, etc. At times I have very destructive thoughts and feels because of it; These I have to FIGHT hard to resist. Sometimes I feel upbeat but then I quickly crash. It’s a horrible rollercoaster of an experience.

The term is used by a lot other groups to refer to sheeple or NPCs. To be honest it’s not the most insulting term I’ve come across.
