Sometimes it's not so easy to fire up a GUI, like when you ssh into another machine.

Why would you have 30 days in those months? I'm a fan of having exactly 4 weeks each month (28 days), across 13 months. Then every month is the same. If the 1st is on a Monday, then the 1st of every month will always be a Monday. You just need to add a leap week in every now and again.

There's no reason to bring the quadratic formula into this. Square roots can be negative, but when talking about the square root it's normally assumed to be the principal square root, which is the positive one.

Well it's not creating energy out of thin air. But it is moving it. So you get more energy moved than the amount of energy put in.

... the time parents spend with children has gone up for both women and men. Indeed, one study found that today’s generation of moms spend nearly twice as much time with their kids compared to moms 50 years ago.

As a dad who is struggling to juggle work, kids, housework and mental health all at the same time. I think this is a real problem that needs work on a societal level. Why are both parents needing to spend so much more time looking after their kids? Surely kids weren't just neglected previously? I'm really not sure whats changed, but there are so many parents under so much stress these days.

I feel for you man. Life is hard sometimes and I often find myself wondering if it's worth it. Why do we bring new life into this world with a strong chance they're not going to enjoy it? Especially with the downward trend we seem to be going through.

I think many western societies have lost their community culture and we let so many people fall through the cracks to be forgotten about and really struggle. Which is where I guess you are now.

I wish we did things better, and there was more care to go around for everyone. I wish we didn't need to be working most of our waking hours primarily for the benefit of a rich minority. I wish we didn't have to deal with the pointlessness of existence and the many pains we inevitably go through in our lives. But, here we are. There aren't many good options other than to figure out how to enjoy some of it.

You've said you will never love yourself and you don't want anything other than a female companion and children. I think that's the depression talking. My suggestion is to talk to someone about it, when you can bring yourself to do so. Preferably a professional, but talk to whoever you can that's not random strangers on the internet. We don't really know anything about you so you're not going to get anything concrete here. I'm hoping this is just one of your steps of reaching out and overcoming this situation.

Might not be an accurate translation but it still speaks the truth. Unfortunately there aren't many ways of avoiding the future.

But, you can also form good ethics easily, without using any religion. There's plenty of good philosophy and general common sense without bring magical beings into it.

Just recently we had a popular post: "The Will To Change Men, Masculinity, And Love By bell hooks". I can take a couple quotes from the preface of that book:

I had not been able to confess that not only did I not understand men, I feared them.

Militant feminism gave women permission to unleash their rage and hatred at men...

I think too many feminists do hate men, and to say "no true feminist hates men" is falling into the no true scotsman fallacy. Typically the loudest people in a group are the most extreme and I don't believe most feminists hate men, but I also think it's understandable how some people do believe that.

Can you repeat the question?

I don't find this argument very convincing. All artists draw some inspiration from previous artwork, that doesn't make it plagiarism. Even if it's heavily influenced by other artwork it's not plagiarism if it's something original.
