It's dark to call this uplifting. The positive version of this is that we have access to amazing medical help if we choose not to dismiss it

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds really hard on several levels.

It seems your mother dismisses the concept of mental health and is strongly prejudiced against psychology. That's unfortunately quite common, especially among older generations, but not only. Do you have other people in your life who are more understanding?

I found interesting that you waited to be alone to cry. Did you stop yourself in her presence? What do you think would happen if you did?

It sounds like it would indeed be great for you if you could find a job and afford to move out. You're already applying for a lot of jobs, so well done acting on that! It must be hard indeed that it hasn't paid off yet. Keep trying various things. Something will work out eventually! I don't know what your schedule looks like outside of applying for jobs, but if you have free time, one idea that would come to me in that situation would be to volunteer in some NGO, or some other kind of project. That might be a good way to get out of the house, meet interesting people, and get this feeling of being useful, which is very important to all of us.

Good luck!

Once you're comfortable with (neo)vim, is there any reason to use nano?

The tide has turned.

Ukraine is starting to regain more ground than it is losing for the first time since 2023. Ukrainian forces liberated more territory than they lost in the last two weeks of February 2026 for the first time since the Summer 2023 counteroffensive. Russian forces suffered a net loss of 116 square kilometers of territory in April 2026. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on May 15 that precise Ukrainian strikes, the destruction of Russian reserves, and constant pressure on Russian assault units have allowed Ukrainian forces to increasingly seize the tactical initiative and force Russian forces to react to a Ukrainian-defined operational tempo.

Sir/Lady, you are talking on the internet. People won't know where your "here" is 😉

Yes. Violence, by definition, requires physical force

It's possible to define it like that, but it's definitely not universally the case and seems overly restrictive. Just one example from the WHO's World report on violence and health:

Violence at work involves not only physical but also psychological behaviour. Many workers are subjected to bullying, sexual harassment, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological violence.

Words are not physical violence

The person you respond to didn't say that words are physical violence.

Do you believe the only form of violence is physical violence?

Tonight, our long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region again: for the second time in a week, the Moscow Oil Refinery was hit. Targets in the Rostov region and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine were also hit. A completely fair response to Russian strikes on our cities and communities and another important result of the work of our soldiers on the facilities that provide support for the Russian military machine. Thank you to our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their joint work - the SBU, SBS, SSO, GUR, and our missile brigade for their accuracy.
  These days, all our partners have noted the accuracy and effectiveness of our middle strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time to end this war, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.

No, it means it's almost surrounded. Lichtenstein is not part of the EU.
