Life sucks and I want to rip my hair out right now.

Somewhat. If she’s going to work I expect her to take it seriously and do things like handle her own laundry and wake herself up on time since my own schedule is a mess and I don’t have time for all that. Secondly, I would not date a woman who can’t manage her finances on the most basic level...

People who like Star Trek and reenactments are too normal. For me it’s getting drunk and finger painting. I also don’t like large crowds to be honest.

If you don't mind me asking, what makes you feel different and what kind of changes would you like to see in yourself and others? What would an ideal friend look like to you?

You were right. Next person has a fear of heights.

I'm a little late here but this still might be useful. Last time I checked Rufus was Windows only. There is a very good little open source imager app I use to make bootable USBs on Linux. The GUI is very simple and he offers deb packages for Ubuntu that should also work on Mint. This way you...

Depends on the context. I like to take a pragmatic approach and consider the future consequences like I would when making a chess move. Keeps me out of trouble.

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Gasoline and hot soldering flux. Two of my favorite smells that most people find revolting.

Why so negative about the season of giving and getting together with family? I'll be spending the holidays alone this year but there are still many things I have to be thankful for. It's not all bad.

After a long time being single I've been on a few dates recently. The women I met were nice but I had a hard time relating to them. It felt like there was a mile wide gap between our personalities. I was polite and listend had a nice meal but I just couldn't bring myself to care about their...

People who are cruel to animals, children, the elderly or disabled. There are a lot things that disgust me but the mistreatment of people or animals who can't fight back is really on another level of terrible in my opinion. Cheating is a pretty standard response but I won't tolerate that either.

From outer space? :D

despondency

I can relate to that. Some of my loneliness is from my self-imposed isolation but some of it is due to others making themselves very unpleasant to be around. I'm guilty of this too, though I wonder how self-aware some people are about their bad habits and negative attitudes.

Nothing ever lasts. The little that I still cling to will also be gone one day. I will never get back the things I've already lost.

I believe it was Marx who once wrote something like "religion is the opium of the masses". Turns out that their drug of choice is actually outrage.  :(

How are you staying physically fit these days? A healthy body is a healthy mind and all that... Personally, I like to work out first thing in the morning before I've had anything to eat. I like to do 15 minutes on the treadmill just running, with a few minutes of walking in between if I'm...

The only advice I can give is to talk to her. Communication is the foundation of all healthy relationships, romantic or otherwise. If she won't talk to you then consider writing a letter. Not an email, not a text but an actual physical letter. It's more difficult to ignore a tangible thing...
