@VD15 That is called knowing what your priorities are: It's a very important fish.

@Justicar Because it's a means to communicate that you are obedient not to communication descriptive information.

@ButtWorldsMan I'm sure they will live...

@SuperSnekFriend @CozyLife That is a clever icon replacement idea.

@UncleIroh @Stahesh Correct

@Mongoliaboo @houseoftolstoy Yes.

@VD15 I wouldn't bring it up. Most people will forget about anything by the next day anyway. Playing dumb usually works if you are asked if you heard anything.

@TimeSpent I appreciate the emotion you were attempting to convey.

@romin Yes. To feel that your hard work, your sacrifice, is appreciated can make all the difference between feeling only a mechanical existence of toil and relishing a fulfilling labor of love.

@VD15 Read about what happened to those in the gulags of Stalin in The Gulag Archipelago.

Article 58's: "politicals", "Counterrevolutionaries"

They were worse than common rapists and murderers. Those criminals could be reformed, but a political...

@vriska Dragon fruit! Very nice.

@Justicar I would highly recommend it. Linux Mint is pretty solid these days and is very easy to set up. You can even put it on a flash drive and boot off it to try it before you install it in earnest.

@VD15 "Hate speech", "misinformation", "disinformation", "problematic speech" etc. are all just things those with power don't want you to say, regardless of if they are true or not.

@ButtWorldsMan A good rendition of the meme.

@susie Procrastination is an unwise course of action.

@Kerosene Hold your breath.

@YoMomz It's an interesting thought, and your attempt to analyze his situation with your own is rational. Unless we have her journal or a verified suicide note, it's impossible to say why for sure.

@susie This is actually normal when you're trying to reset a sleep schedule. What matters more is that you are consistent with when you get up and when you go to sleep.

@RoninGrey I agree with making efforts team efforts. People under me at my day job prefer being given orders, but I still say "Could you do X, please?" or "Please do Y."
There's also a difference between a question and a polite order.

It feels more comfortable to give orders in a polite manner. Some people respond better to direct, non-polite orders, but I suppose need to adjust to handling them. If someone needs to be yelled at, I'd rather fire them than be on them to do their job.
