Maybe they didn't come to Stephen Hawkins' party because they found out that he was a pedo.

[serious]

Depends, honestly. Understand what the person feels comfortable with. Apart from a few close friends and family (and sometimes the list can get even smaller), I don't really want to be touched when I'm sad. Either listen to my rant, or if I'm being silent maybe leave me alone for a bit.

Anyway, just try to be mindful. I feel kinda annoyed by this one-size-fits-all approach to human interactions. It depends on the person, their culture, your relationship to them, the nature of the sorrow, and many other factors.

I'm about to get a PhD in math, and I am not the best at mental arithmetic either. I used to be really bad, but teaching has forced me to improve by a lot. It was very annoying for me to go back and forth between my notes/computer and the blackboard whenever there was a big multiplication, so I just slowly got better at doing it in my head. Also, it had the added benefit of letting me improvise more.

My college roommate got insanely good at it when he set an alarm on his phone that required him to do some calculation before he could turn it off. After about one semester, he was doing those half asleep lol. I think he finally decided on an alarm that would need him to walk outside and scan a QR code to turn off.

Just look around.

Some people simply can't see women having any authority/accountability in their life. It's the same with JD's wife, or until recently, Erika Kirk. I think it's a form of misogyny. These are not "poor little women" stuck with their husbands. They know exactly what they wanted, and they got it. They're also pieces of shit.

At least the drugs were fun.

These people don't have any sense of shame when you point out their corruption. At least in this case, they seem to care. So be it. Shame these bastards. The point isn't that drag (or whatever the appropriate word here is) is bad, it's not. I enjoy going to drag performances myself. It's that they preach values that go against this. So, at least to me, it's totally fair game to ridicule them for this.

I think actual LGBTQ people understand this nuance, since they seem to be shaming him too. I'm a little fat. (Not too fat anymore, have been working out. But it used to be pretty bad.) But I don't give a fuck when people fat shame Trump or Musk. It seems to hurt those bastards. Because they're petty and shallow people.

I think that should be enough. Maybe try two vCPUs if you wanna host other stuff too. But for just for some mirrors/aggregators, one vCPU is probably enough. I don't think you really need to worry about RAM or storage either.

Computers are plenty fast these days. I think you'll only start to see actual performance issues when handling hundreds of simultaneous users.

In any case, you shouldn't be spending over $10/month. You can get much lower. Take a look at this. I don't know how reliable or secure they are, but they're very cheap. I've used their VPS in the past, and it seemed pretty okay.

Not always. You can pay by crypto at many places e.g. https://kyun.sh/

Also, many of the providers don't really validate anything so you can get away with providing random information, and paying with a prepaid debit card.

You have nothing to lose but your chains, type shi
