Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.

Based on what I can find, they are microscopic mites. You also have microscopic mites all over your face that you probably ingest at some point or another... So it's really not that weird.

That's the majority of Americans. Beyond what was almost certainly a stolen election (large scale, billionaire-bankrolled propaganda, campaigns, voter disenfranchisement, and probably voting machine manipulation), Trump's disapproval rating since starting that shit has skyrocketed.

We are in an awful fascist quagmire of a situation that we are going to have to fight to free ourselves from, but that doesn't mean that the actions of this administration actually represent us.

Not sure what you're referring to, but the 4th hasn't really changed. Maybe you're confusing it with the (laughable) military parade Trump did for his own birthday?

Personally I've long found patriotism to be a pretty abhorrent concept, but I've always enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with my family regardless. To me, the 4th is much more about community than it is the country. And while this country is fucking awful, I do have a pretty great community around me that I'm grateful for.

The typical American pronunciation is "cruhsahnt", with the emphasis placed on the second syllable.

I'm honestly not sure, but I'm fairly certain it's intentional obfuscation done for the production build. Why they think it's so important to hide class names, I'll never know.

Yeah that's a complete myth and not based on actual science.

In modern chess, engines have gotten good enough that we generally do know the top moves and humans can't beat them. We can even numerically assess someone's chess play with a computer, which we call "accuracy". Obviously they can always be improved further, and there are a handful of situations where they might misevaluate, but it's still pretty incredible.

Engines have only made chess more exciting as they have shattered a lot of old theory and helped people find a lot of new and innovative ideas. They are an incredible aid in analysis and tournament prep.

Just gonna drop this here: http://visidata.org/

Blows excel out of the water, at least for tabular data (which, frankly, is what all financial data should be... Cell-based formulas are a mistake).

Hmm that makes me wonder, is this his first time saying please publicly since 2016?

It's perfectly reasonable to not want to sleep over at your parents' house after only a month of dating. To be honest, it's reasonable to not ever want to do that. It's weird sleeping in someone else's house period.

But especially after just a month of dating, your parents may as well be strangers to him. He likely doesn't have any sense for any cultural differences between how he was raised and your family, like what behaviors are considered faux pas to your parents, etc.

To be honest I think you're really getting ahead of yourself. Take your time with the relationship and build trust and the foundations of a great relationship. It always takes time and patience. You guys are still just starting to learn about each other.

Massive red flags all around. At this point it sounds like he's fully "in the hole", so to speak.

You could try to address the issue, but to be honest I don't see it doing anything productive. He sounds pretty toxic and you can't force people to become better... They have to want it themselves.

If you do try to address the issue with him, the important thing is to not allow yourself to get bogged down with misogynistic, manipulative bullshit. If he is dismissive of your concerns and won't engage in a constructive conversation with you, then there's not a lot you can do and you should move on.
