I read this book years ago and was disappointed by it. It’s basically a list of anecdotes shared with the author by clients mixed with descriptions of studies she’d read. She didn’t sound like she has any personal experience with the subject, or any real insight. The way she portrayed her clients, and children of immature parents in general, also bothered me. There’s the “good ones” who blame themselves for their parents’ behavior and are always the innocent victims, and the “bad ones” who blame someone else for everything and also sexually abuse their siblings. No depth or nuance in the way she sees the people she writes about, and no sympathy for children who react badly to their parents’ fuckery. The final thing I found lacking was that the book doesn’t really go into how to deal with immature parents: different ways of interacting with them that can be helpful, if and how to cut contact, etc. It’s all about helping people to realize that your parents treating you badly is a bad thing. Like, okay, but then what?I respect that the content is helpful to some people, but personally I regret spending $35 on it. Might be better to look for it at the library.

My parents always discouraged me from trying things and gave me self-serving advice.

I’ve played WoW on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No problems there.

I think that’s been the law everywhere I’ve lived, too, but not always followed…

I’ve seen landlords put these things on doors, too, and use them to allow entrance to anyone they think has a reason to be inside, whether the resident knows and consents or not.

I was watching a friend’s dogs while she was on vacation when the batteries in her door lock died. I had to climb in a back window to get inside and feed them. Luckily, there was a back door with a dumb lock, but I had to get inside first and borrow her keys for that to help.

I feel like casual rudeness and insults have become more common as more people have come over from Reddit.

I lived there as a baby, and learned to speak there. After we moved to the US, my mother forced me into speech therapy for years.

W2k was the best.

Yeah, I really liked LXDE.

Yep. I’ve had no problems with x11. It’s always been super stable.

TBH, I’ve always wanted to do this.

I use XFCE, but I like Cinnamon too. I use Nemo and Xed instead of Thunar and…whatever.

At some point, probably after Fedora stops supporting x11, openSUSE plans to follow suit, and it will no longer be available in the repos. There’s no firm date for when this will occur, though. I read about it on the official forum.

I use XFCE. If their Wayland support isn’t ready when openSUSE Tumbleweed eliminates support for x11, I’m not sure what I’ll go to.

Good to know, even though I’m not a Gnome user. I wonder if it will work with torsocks.

I use LACT. It’s very easy to use and works well.

I’m not so sure that it is an edge case. I’m just an average person. I’m sure there are many people who have reason to receive and/or save much larger volumes of email than I do. Regardless, it’s always better to have software that works well under a wide range of circumstances.

I use it on desktop when I’m trying to rephrase something I’ve written to make my meaning more clear or improve the flow.

I’ve seen BLT pizza, which sounds similar. I didn’t know salad pizza was a thing. It sounds like it might be really good or really bad depending on the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of softness to crispiness.
