I keep seeing men online (Reddit, Instagram, TikTok) saying how they don't know personal details about their male friends of several years. It is mostly said in a proud context, or in disbelief when a woman talks about it.

I'm talking about knowing someone for years and not knowing what they do for work specifically, their relationship status/major issues, their life goals, their family situation, birthdays, and stuff like that.

For context, I am a man in my 20s. I have a close friend group of around 10 people. We all know each other very well. We have a group chat, and meet at least once a week (obviously some people can't always make it). We know a lot of details about each other, so this idea of being close friends with someone and not knowing personal stuff about each other seems foreign and weird to me.

Does it actually happen, or just internet hyperbole?

I can't manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma

 

While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use.

I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain.

Anyone aware of other alternatives?

 
 
 
 

Once out of Texas, he sent a death certificate to the prison stating he had died.

 
 
 

Looking for good games for Android. By good, I mean a game with a story, no ads or in-app purchases. I'm okay with paying for it, but I'm looking for a good experience. The game should be story-based, as in it has an ending, not an infinite game. Any recommendations?

Changing the JWT secret does this. So instead of a button, its a line of code, making it less likely to be done by mistake.

Spoilers are allowed.

Whenever I finish watching a new movie, I like to go to Reddit and browse the discussion threads to see what people thought of it. From now on, I'll start a thread here if it doesn't already exist.

What did you think of the movie? How did you interpret the ending? Feel free to discuss anything about the movie you like.

 

No spoilers for Resurrections please, I've only watched the first 3 movies in the last couple of days. Yes, I know that I'm 20 years late to the party.

I think the first movie is great, I hated the long action scenes in the second (Neo vs the Smith army got boring after a couple of minutes, and added no value), and mostly enjoyed the third, even though it didn't really feel like a Matrix movie.

I've read that the fourth is terrible. Is that because it ruined people's nostalgia, or is it really that bad? I'm probably going to watch it either way, just like to hear your opinions.

Just five? I'm pretty sure the NSA had access to all their messages since at least 2001.

I agree, but that is very subjective, don't you think? I'm interested for example in the post that said Trump is suing Twitter. I won't waste time reading the article most probably, but the news is amusing nonetheless. So what decides whether something is interesting enough to the whole globe or not?

Imho, as long as the title isn't clickbaity, its okay. We shouldn't reach a stage where "Trump should be impeached" is an acceptable headline, like /r/politics

Why is this a line graph? What's on the X axis?

This isn't kink shaming. No one has a "kink" to cum in a sock.
