I recommend the book The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate for some possible insights.

I recommend loving kindness meditation, also known as “metta”. There is an old saying that 1 hour of metta for a troublesome person is worth 100 hours of other kinds of meditation. I have used it to help me work through and (mostly) get past my feelings for the troublesome people in my life, even including an alcoholic and abusive parent.

Metta for myself also helps me make peace with how I feel, the constant “on guard” mode, which I know helped me survive, but isn’t needed to that degree any longer. It makes sense that I am this way. It’s not always fun, but I’m also not broken.

There is so much more, but I offer you this as a place to start. I hope that others give you helpful ideas.

Peace.

Si quieres más, quieres más. That’s it. It doesn’t have to be complicated. “I want more. Are you prepared for more?” Yes or no. I encourage you to state your needs and ask them what they are willing to do.

Do you worry that you don’t deserve more? Do you worry that nobody else will want to be with you? These are normal concerns. You are young. There is only one way to find out. You have time to find someone else.

Peace.

French has verlan, a slang in which words are reversed in a similar way, so that we say them differently, but they mean the same thing. “louche” means “suspicious”, but is often said as “chelou”.

It’s not the same effect, but a similar structural pattern.

It’s not even always swapping syllables. Some people say “meuf” as slang for “femme”, even though the word has only one syllable.

I’m not a French speaker from birth, so I don’t know how common this slang is. I know we find it near Paris.

You can hear it in the TV series HPI, where the lead character uses it quite often and the show is set in Lille, which is about 200 km from Paris.

Indeed. I could hear the song and I couldn’t place the date.

Moderncsv or visidata don’t do everything you want, but might merit looks.

Hard no.

You mean like this post?

Svenska är inte mitt språk, men svaret är självklart skånska.

When they fit, they’re excellent. I have the ones that I can keep in while sleeping. I am still occasionally surprised by how comfortable they feel to me.

Which one?

I would be shocked if a place like that existed that didn’t charge a monthly membership fee, but I’m prepared to be proven wrong. I hope you find it!

When we go to a hotel, we prefer the Finnish level of service: make everything work and otherwise leave us alone.

Finnish people are stereotyped to sound monotone, enunciate clearly, speak directly, and tersely. This makes them seem unfriendly.

And then they expect you to stay 3 m away from them at all times, which intensifies their seeming unfriendliness.

At least these are the memes.

You might be done with people, not the internet.

Helix? I’ve never noticed a security problem.

At some point I stopped listening to him

Excellent. Sometimes, you are simply the person available for them to scream at. In situations such as that, pretending to listen without listening represents a useful strategy.

I hope you can make it past this incident soon. Time means distance means peace.

I think there’s room for both.
