If you don’t fix it, it’s still broken. So might as well make it a hobby. Buy nice tools and learn cool techniques. That way when something breaks you’ll see it as a time investment in a thing that takes your mind out of work and “real” problems.

What sort of advanced usage you’re after that ‘break’, ‘list’, ‘step’ and ‘bt’ are not enough for you?

Here’s a mnemonic for you straight from Copilot:

🧠 Mnemonic: “Brave Lions Step Back”

• Break → Brave
  Think of courageously “breaking” into the code at a chosen point.

• List → Lions
  Lions “survey” their territory, just like list shows you the source lines.

• Step → Step
  Easy one — you literally “step” through the program line by line.

• bt → Back
  bt stands for “backtrace,” which shows you the call stack — looking back at how you got here.

Nice. At our age it’s all about the consistency. Take a look at this guy “K boges” on youtube. He has solid advice on how to keep working out in a way that’s sustainable.

9 good pushups is solid.

Software engineering: Don’t script stuff! Seriously, just stop, it’s a huge waste of everybody’s time. I don’t fucking care if you think mygitwrapper.sh is the bomb. I want you to know your git commands by heart or just learn to use the damn history on your terminal.

Scripting is only allowed if it’s part of the project’s infrastructure. Stop faffing about.

Bloody hell mate, I clicked by mistake and wasn’t expecting a foot long dick. You’ll put someone’s eye out with that thing.

Mate, let’s first focus on getting you better. Nevermind how the parents would react, parents aren’t there forever and their reach on our lives can only go so far. I know in Asian culture things can get nasty, but at the end of the day there’s just you and your sense of self. It gets better as you age and get to know yourself more and work through the issues left by trauma. But we need to get away from the morbidity aspect, that’s not good for you.

Sorry, I’m not trying to be your therapist, but there’s some relatability in your words, I feel an impulse to help.

craps… monkey every day 2 bananas, monkey no craps

Depends on whether you want to avoid craps.

oh yeah.

I’m not judging, I’m trying to provide a different perspective to your pessimistic view of the world. I think it might help you.

Yes. I can’t change the world and I have a life to live.

Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, “news” must include mostly bad things, otherwise it’d be called “sames”, (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I’d recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.

It is not common knowledge. It is a common fallacy. People are the solution, not the problem. Bad things happening in the world absolutely do not mean “people are bad”. You guys need to work on your psychological resilience. The bad news don’t decide how you relate to people in general, that’s a choice you’re making. And you can stop making it. You’d feel better and less cynical.

(of course I’m here lecturing people, but I myself don’t always manage to keep a positive mindset, we’re human)

People are great. I don’t mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That’s why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.

Again, I don’t want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it’s not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I’m saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.

How big are your tits?

Do you mind me asking why do you want to avoid (what seems like) people in general?

AFAIK, there is already at least some yearly damage caused by elephant stampedes.

Also having your car crushed by a 50 ton beast or getting necked by one of the necky ones.

What’s this about?

Mine is the exact opposite, that people are generally kind and good once you remove some initial barriers that keep us apart. The older I get, the more love for people in general I feel.

So I guess we’re both mentally ill. High five!
