Okay I'll just get over crippling social anxiety. Great advice. Thanks.

Ask the exs I cried in front of who then lost their physical attraction to me. Never doing that again. Having sex semi-regularly is a hell of a lot better than having a shoulder to cry on.

About relationship stuff I can honestly say that I haven't ever seen that. Other than like "hey I know you're hurting but why don't you come out with us and we'll try to help you get back on the horse". Which I think is pretty positive.

Yeah, I stopped hanging around my toxic friends too. This was a big part of why I was lonely throughout my 20s.

Get out where? If you have no friends where do you go? Some bar where you stand around awkwardly by yourself while everyone else came with friends?

People do. They just don't become politicians.

I read that book while on a vacation with my family and that part had me upset for most of the first day we were there.

IDK, that one time Germany tried to travel through Belgium to get to France everyone got all pissed...

The company I work for is pushing almost all of IT to WFH so they can get rid of all the office space they're renting. It actually kind of sucks for me because I don't like working from home.

What about the ones below the water line?

It was and fuck that if they can't even include the most basic ones

Had to install VLC last week because the Windows player didn't have the codec to play a video someone sent me from their smartphone. Seems like a pretty common use case to not have figured out..
