Sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP.

I've tried postmarketOS with Phosh briefly, and while it's not in my use yet (I have an irrational fear of WebDAV but need my NextCloud), it looks rather "non-blinged" but functional.

Just clarifying that neither F-Droid nor Aurora have anything to do wirh piracy.

F-Droid is for open source software and while yes, some of the apps are replacements for that wouldn't fly in the app store (NewPipe, Spotube), they are not pirated or piracy tools.

Aurora is just a front-end for Play store that mainly allows you to download free apps without a Google account.

Dean was the one that wasn't Dean in Gilmore Girls, right? What was that Dean's name in this again?

I'm going to be boring and just say "Survivor".

Not just because she is one, because obviously she is, but because around the time of her ordeal(?), 7-9-ish hours ago, Parg's "Survivor" was making it through Eurovision's 2nd semifinal.

As a woman who's been that down: IMHO you can just empathize, but admit you don't have the capacity to deal with her needs. That you wish her well, but for your own mental health, you can't be her rock. She may well know she has trust and relationship issues, and is telling you for the very reason that she wants you to walk away now if you can't cope, rather than break her heart later.

Of course it's also possible she's has a personality disorder, rather than "just" depression, anxiety and trauma. So don't let yourself be guilted back.

In any case, for both your sakes, and I hope this does not need saying: No sex.

Edit: Based on your responses you're barely acquaintances. No action necessary, just let it drop.

A little or a lot more every year. Though humanity is pretty resourceful and nature has tardigrades, "never say never" to some post-apocalyptic 10k populations of one or the other surviving somewhere.

Fair enough, it does suck. I for one remain unconvinced by your sources, but respect greatly both that you provided them, and your opinion as equivalent to any "based on my non-objective experience..." just like my own. Thank you.

You clearly stated you didn't want to have someone comb through you papers and argue, and their value as evidence is obvious to anyone who bothers to take a look, so the reaction of "nothing will come out of continuing this conversation" is quite understandable. I returned to say thank you for posting sources, but since you seem to take this as some kind of "stunned them to silence"...

The first two sources apparently refer to the same study; Okami 1995 is mostly literature review, methods, and intermediary results, while Okami 1998 is the final results.

Okami 1995: "Consistent with the cross-sectional retrospective literature (and with our expectations), no harmful main effects of these experiences were found at age 17-18. [...] Taken as a whole then, effects are few, but generally beneficial in nature."

Okami 1998: "No harmful "main effect" correlates of the predictor variables were found."

So I fail to see how they'd support your point.

The last one, the Yahoo article, is not a study nor does it refer to any.

Okami 1998 also had a link to Lewis 1988, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3421828/: "The results suggest that childhood experiences with exposure to nudity and sleeping in the parental bed are not adversely related to adult sexual functioning and adjustment. In fact, there is modest support that these childhood experiences are positively related to indices of adjustment."

Recognition of pre-existing bias: I'm Finnish, and this felt like an attack on family saunas.

There are 202 proven uses for a dead cat, plus the ones when it's still alive.

If it's so well trodden then share a review or meta-analysis, nobody (or at least not me, doubt anyone else either) will bother to dig out the referenced studies one by one.

Link to those studies, please.

There's a huge difference to just seeing a naked body doing its thing, like sauna, or swim, or relax in the sun, or sleeping, or ill; and the same body as an erotic object

Depends on what kind of relationship you have, which I think in turn tends to depend on the age and the sex of the children, among other things.

A 14-year-old boy, yeah, rather gross, especially if he is uncomfortable or sucks at expressing their affection any other way on other days.

Me, a 40+ year old woman who has a warm relationship with my mom, now with an additional layer of "two old ladies", and a history of dirty jokes: Nah, I hope she got a chuckle out of the pic (I visited a week early, didn't think of making something like this).

Ditto. My partner and I are well into our 40s, mortgage paid off, etc. Childfree. Living in a one-story attached house in a sort of suburbs, 20 minutes to city center by bike or bus. So, not a city apartment, and could have a decent car if we wanted to.

I never even bothered with getting a license, do not want to be responsible for a tonne+ murder machine.

We rent a car twice a year to visit relatives in the countryside, often one or two times more if there's a family event or other need. I take a taxi sometimes to go to the vet. Otherwise it's cycling (very bicycle-friendly city) or public transportation (also well arranged), and train & public transportation for other national travel. Transporting furniture is sometimes a hassle, but how often does one need to do that? Way more carefree and cheaper than owning a car.

That cat is loving it. Bunny well trained.

If the cause for muted celebration persists, for next year I'd suggest reviving International Workers' Day and/or Beltane, possibly with Cinco de Mayo influences. Nothing like solidarity marches, or bonfires, pagan magic and feasting.

Yes, but not like that, not with my mortality, I'm quite ok with that. My constant existential crisis is that I am psychologically unable to live "now" with the irreverence it deserves.

In other words, I'm worried about doing absurdism wrong, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Weird case to make anyway.

The primary language of most non-UK non-Irish Europeans is not English/American/Australian/"International English"/whatever.

Yes, English/American/Australian/"International English"/whatever is the de facto lingua franca.

Would I rather that it was Esperanto or some other easy-for-all-to-learn manufactured language? Yes. Does it really bother me it is what it is? No, I'm just happy we have one.

I've got a few pieces from them, and they really are worth the praise IMHO.

Varusteleka. Alpa for alpaca wool, no zipper, more colourful options, more expensive.
