Oh sorry I totally misunderstood. I try to be careful with advice on direct interpersonal interactions because I prefer to first validate what you're experiencing and also because it often depends on the person.

Would you say that experiences like this give you anxiety, so you avoid them? If so, is it the anticipation of experience itself that induces anxiety or is it concern over negative outcome? Or is it more about preferring to avoid any kind of confrontation?

One thing that can help in general is to take small steps to get to your goal. Spend some time thinking about what situations like this would only be a little uncomfortable, but not a lot, and that you can have control over initiating. And plan out how you want to approach the situation. In all situations, I recommend projecting the emotion of the response you want to receive. For example, smiling can help when asking for something and many people will reflexively smile in response and assume this will be a friendly interaction.

But I might be getting ahead of myself again and I should really wait for your response.

What are you thinking of when you say, "make a scene"? Is it you as an individual doing something alone or are you thinking of organizing a collective action? I would recommend doing the latter. And of you're doing the latter, you just need one person to be comfortable with a megaphone, it doesn't need to be you. Disruption is mostly about physically blocking something, too, and less about the speech. It's okay to focus on speech, but that part of an event is more of a rally than a disruption. Organization is the real ticket, you will want to line up friendly media, be prepared with talking points, etc. Also consider starting small so you can get practice with lower stakes.

The smartest approach to regular expressions is to think about how to avoid needing them in the first place and that is exactly what this bazinga brain will be avoiding now.

The next is that if you do need regular expressions, keep it simple. If your regex is complex, you probably should have broken it down into multiple separate steps and sub-searches.

The next is that if you have determined you do need a very complicated regex, you should probably be writing a parser or using a parser generator so that it can be understood, improved, debugged, etc.

This bazinga is going to be getting a bunch of complex, non-debuggable regexes that are probably subtly wrong.

Put red stars on everything. Or yellow stars in ~~black~~ red backdrop.

Cool people will get it and nobody else will.

lmao why would you pick knees our knees suck. Probably because we started walking on two legs only a couple million years ago. Most knee injuries happen just from doing normal knee things like walking or running in a straight line. Bro who designs the mcl like that? Was God high?
