Mandatory military service, gun training, and guns are owned in a context of national security.

Whereas in US it’s a ‘self-defence’ thing so apparently US citizens can fire off a gun in quite a few legal/illegal circumstances. That got extended to school shootings.

Wouldn’t happen in Switzerland as it seems to be more a collective national defence protocol.

I suck at any kind of public speaking.

That said, I went on stage and made a speech. Strong enough voice (I’m a teacher) but my hands were shaking like mad.

Past week, more speeches to parents. First speech I’m pretty nervous.

Second, third, fourth…

By this time, I hold a piece of paper up to the parents. Not a single tremor or shiver in the paper.

This is because I don’t think of my issues with public speaking as failure. That’s just me. I already accepted that’s how I react to situations like that.

If my parent ever told me my shaking was failure, do you truly think that my mindset that doesn’t attribute my ‘shakes’ to failure would be the case now?

Keep any shortcomings personal, to them. As a parent, always see the positive. Never weigh your own child down like that.

You sound like a teenager but I figure it’s worthwhile sharing my aspect with the adults here.

But that will just make it bla… Oh…

When you’re dead I’m sure it will be noticeable.

Hmm.

Your art is great, I did upvote, but I just think personally you need some extra input on to how to make it ‘kick’.

A) There’s a punchline but it’s a bit meh. B) Thar be haters. C) Rainbow egg?! We know they’re gay already lol

I’d say, if it’s constructive to say so, the author needs to work on the writing/subtext so that the comic doesn’t do the heavy lifting through the speech bubbles (or the rainbow egg). I think the author needs an editor (another person) to vet ideas and writing, and get feedback.

It’s more than halfway there. Just refer to A. and C.

The downvotes are funnier than this comic lol

Same, but saw the ‘piracy/linux’ in post title and knew it had to be him.

Opened a post about how to play pirated games and it got reported.

Powerful.

I reckon that applies when you’re working for a company but freelance (or own company) you may inevitably start to overlap public and private life.

I’d say no. As they say, find your passion, and if you make money using that passion, you’re good for life.

I think the difference is that it was already your passion rather than a hobby.

Lutris is the answer to this post’s question.

This is most important, if OP isn’t using any ‘enterprise’ apps, they should be able to function on FOSS, wine or proton apps.

I still can’t get used to her eyes, which makes her a perfect casting.

I get the impression it’s a very balanced relationship: Fedora develops, Redhat devs perfect, then it gets thrown back to Fedora. I’m not well read on the subject, but Fedora isn’t hating on their positioning.

If you feel like travelling (leaving the country for quite some time), you could go into teaching abroad, or for much less money, be a scuba instructor. Apologies if it sounds like a half hearted answer but this is literally what me and friends do.

Like the fact that no matter what, the cables behind your monitor are always going to be tangled.

This is fair
