This could only lead to good things~

If I were to wager a guess (and IANL, etc.), he’d need to’ve committed a crime since he has a permanent resident green card? Not that I wouldn’t put it past them to try it, anyway. Though it probably makes for a much more effective propaganda message of, “See; these people are illegally voting and that’s why we have to remove them,” (just don’t look to closely at who he’s been voting for).

Ultimately – though –, I dunno; I just know that’s what DHS said, according to the article.

Why is this in this comm.? That’s unironically just basic fact.

If you really want to immerse yourself, also use it as the config. language for your Linux distribution.

Write GTK app.s with it.

Stretch your project legs with writing a simple web app. with it.

Explore the sheer joy and consummate beauty of minimal syntax.

That’s fair. I took a class while getting my Masters that used Scheme (having learned Scheme on my own ahead of time) and, after getting past the parts I was already familiar with the language on, I found it really difficult to grasp what they were trying to teach me. I can’t say it’s what you experienced but I’ve tended to find that higher level education courses that utilize Scheme tend to operate on a level of abstraction that’s hard to grasp unless you already know the big picture they’re trying to impart.

Regardless, I hope it’s easier the second time (if you ever do give it another try).

Not if you’re a Dave Matthews’ band bus driver.

DHS said, if he’s found guilty, they’d start removal procedures. Of course, wouldn’t be out of character for them to do it, anyway, even if he’s not convicted.

A chicken in a programming comm.‽

Please tell me you write in Scheme…

My dad knew someone who survived a car crash because he went through the windshield because he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and, if he had, he would’ve been trapped in the car and (in this particular crash) died; he refuses to wear a seatbelt since.

My father was, likewise, surprised.

If you have access to it, electric bikes can make physical activity easier to do more regularly. The motor helps to focus more on the fun and you can go for longer. My city has Divvy which let’s you rent bikes, including motored ones.

I didn’t have to lose weight but my good cholesterol was below necessary levels and my doctor prescribed exercise to fix it. Biking was about the only thing I got to work with my depression also in the mix as I could, say, find a scenic trail while daydreaming the whole time. Which worked well for my brain because it had something to do other than yell at itself; basically, it felt less like a chore.

I would massage all of his scalp wrinkles.

While – technically – true, our bodily reactions and us being creatures of feelings and dejection make that process much more complicated.

It is probably not as helpful to imply (intentionally or otherwise) that the issue is a lack of willpower to someone who’s clearly been making an effort for a bit, now.

Considering his family holiday cards, he never stuck out all that much to me (I thought I vaguely remembered him sucking up to Trump in the past, too, but, admittedly, I don’t remember). Guess I never looked that closely at his specific politics, in general.

Southern tune

*minstrel tune

As much as I’m for properly assigning credit to the South that it’s managed to outright shirk in the last half century, minstrelsy’s impact and the degree to which it was popular culture (and continued to influence popular culture well after) cannot be understated.

The original lyrics were written in a “negro dialect” and it’s an example on a “plantation song”, songs which were sung by someone portraying a slave missing both the south and the plantation where they were enslaved. These songs helped bolster the narrative that slavery was a positive for the enslaved, providing a sort of parental guidance that the eternally child-like (in intelligence) slave supposedly desperately needed.

Routines help me a lot; granted, I also have anxiety so this may have more to do with not get overwhelmed but I look at certain points of the day as dedicated to a particular task which allows me to regain spoons because I’m not focusing on other things. Even if it’s just one task for each day, I can – say – do an hour shower at 6, each day; I shut off my brain, just enjoy the hour because I’ve put aside time for just that. Once I’ve done that for however long I needed (that can be up to months or even a year; no race), it becomes easier to add something else because it’s just routine I’m prepared for, now.

It also builds confidence, over time, which I think helps.

My cat when I won’t feed him for a third time that day.

…can’t say I’ve ever run into that and I’m a Midwesterner; where are you getting pickles on your pizza‽

Interesting; are they a good size? Every cat tree I’ve gotten has similar features but they always feel like they were designed to fit kittens. Our cats don’t like the hammocks, either (though they do seem to hold their weight), but I kind of can’t blame 'em: it doesn’t seem like they’d fit all that comfy.

Regardless, thanks so much for the link! I’ll need to measure the height of our ceilings…

*double-checks the shape of rigatonis before making joke*

Yeah; that checks out.
