Why does a narcissist insist on "your special day" as a personal spectacle that you have to direct?

A narcissist's insistence on making "your special day" a personal spectacle often stems from their intense need for control and attention. They want to be at the center, even when the focus should be on you. This behavior reflects their struggle with empathy and their desire to overshadow others' experiences to reinforce their own importance. Understanding this can help you set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŽญ

interesting #distrochallenge candidate idea, increasingly appealing, too often overlooked, even dismissed... #puppylinux (and/or any of mmmmmany respins thereof).

similar to slitaz, it has wows.
there be really enthralling innovations.
community seems far less riddled with the toxic, stifling, stultifying, "stupid cants".
far less bloat too.

wows like versions focusing on different package managers.
(e.g. as i was just reading about, a voidlinux xbps puppy and how easy )

there is mmmuch going for puppy.
yes it's a mite unconventional, compared to the glut of debian and redhat based linuxen. so what. conformity to convention is not a factor.
could even have a puppy with .debs or .rpm.

the anti-bloat, the innovation, the low-entry-bar friendly vibes... its a very refreshing combination of aspects.
very appealing, enticing, enthusing.

heh, and in wondering about cheating the distro-challenge again, with bedrock, i wonder about having a bedrock install [without my regular artix-devuan-gentoo-void base] with a base of slitaz, puppy, slax, (even DamnSmallLinux and tinycore?!) and other small quirky distros... []... maybe it makes even more sense... given these distros can do their own use of other package managers ~ afaik, only 1 at a time though ~ makes sense to put them in a bedrock context, where can get access to all the package managers (without jamming them all into one puppy and it stepping on its own toes tripping itself up) safely in each their own stratum. (... each their own strata. ? ... grammer fail. boik. idk if that's plural or not, there, properly.). so could even do a bedrock install that's entirely populated by puppies, but still availing me the same access to all the same package managers' commands and repositories as i have now (with artix, devuan, gentoo, and voidlinux strata).

XD ... way to have a challenge turn into the same thing already got.

buuuuuut...

there's so much more tinkering freely vibes with puppy.

similar to what i get from slackware (also oft considered for a distro challenge).

the pedagogical boon would be humungous.

... but then, so might also the burnout, breakages, and bailing [out of the challenge, back to something more reliable (less prone to invite me to tinker and break things with my jank)].

puppy remains a strong candidate for a distro-challenge.

Will asteroid 2024 YR4 hit the Moon?


image

Asteroid - artist's impression

Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroidโ€™s story continues.

The final glimpse of the asteroid as it faded out of view of humankindโ€™s most powerful telescopes left it with a 4% chance of colliding with the Moon on 22 December 2032.

The likelihood of a lunar impact will now remain stable until the asteroid returns to view in mid-2028. In this FAQ, find out why we are left with this lingering uncertainty and how ESA's future NEOMIR space telescope will help us avoid similar situations in the future.

#Inspiration This is the way...

[...] Mamdani, Lander, and Hanif give people a reason to vote for something. And they give people like me hope that maybe I wonโ€™t be locked out of the formal American economy forever. If Zohran Mamdani can be arrested protesting for Gaza, face a barrage of racist Islamaphobic attacks, and still win the mayoral primary in the nationโ€™s biggest cityโ€”with the help of his Jewish brother who got arrested defending migrants from ICEโ€”then maybe there is room to fight in this country, still.

lithub.com/zohran-mamdani-and-โ€ฆ

In New York City's Democratic primary, Muslim state legislator Zohran Mamdani and Jewish comptroller Brad Lander emerged as top mayoral candidates, demonstrating the potential for criticizing #Israel without political repercussions. Their successful campaign, marked by mutual support and a focus on maturity, challenged prevailing beliefs about career risks for advocating for social causes and navigating anti-Muslim and anti-Zionist sentiment. This outcome, alongside the re-election of Muslim City Council member Shahana Hanif, signals a shift in New York politics and offers hope for those who have faced professional consequences for their activism.

Domain Catching is a nasty sort of #fraud. Ever heard of it?

Here's what happens:

Fraudster manages to register an expired domain, then creates a simulation of the previous website (using an archive version)

Next, they add (spam) content to this website

This way, they exploit the online identity of the previous domain owner

The damage done can be serious, and a personal violation

the usrmerge thing is not anything to do with personal use vs enterprise multi-user system.

lmddgtfy.net/?q=usrmerge says before the results:

UsrMerge is a process that combines the traditional directories like /bin, /sbin, and /lib into their counterparts in /usr, creating symlinks to streamline the filesystem structure in Linux systems. This change aims to improve consistency and organization within the operating system, but it can complicate upgrades and package management. community.linuxmint.com en.opensuse.org

Dearest FAmily, thank you for all the kind words of comfort you've sent to me. I am so overwhelmed with love from my friends its unreal.

Right now puppy, my youngest and I are on the road. We're heading back to DC for my mom's memorial service, because we have connections there that go back 40 years and more. I need to be with my peeps! Brisket just isn't enough at this time.

I am planning a great celebration service for my mom and a luncheon afterwards with all of her favorite foods.

There are family tensions a-brewing, so I ask you to keep me in prayer. My brother did not want to have a service in DC, he wants it to be in Texas. He is very angry that I'm moving forward with my DC plans.

Scripture teaches us to not let a bitter root spring up (inside ourselves) because it can defile many others. This is so true!

I am practicing radio silence to starve this off (no oxygen, no fire). I don't need to defend myself, and I won't. And I am praying that he will attend.

My relationship with my brother has been acrimonious at best for over 40 years. This bruhaha over our mom's memorial service is just the latest iteration.

My mother wanted my brother to be close to her, and she treated him as if they were. She always was prone to fantasize about how good a son he is. I am a realist. That's partially why a great deal of the problems between us were about the inconsiderate way he's treated our mother since we were kids. He hates that I don't see him her way.

He was never there for her during any of the hospitalizations and surgeries that resulted from her health issues-- lobectomty, triple by-pass, DVTs, diabetes, stroke, and finally pancreatic cancer.

I admit I've struggled with contempt over the years and even --jealousy?โ€โ€ as my mother continued to overlook his obvious disengagement and long for his visits.

I moved to TX, in part, so my mom could be closer to him. He never made an effort to come to DC. That worked, but it took a toll on me.

I'm not a glutton for punishment and I won't tolerate abuse from anyone. I avoid my brother because he has the personality of a meat-ax and is like a bull in a china shop. I wouldn't have him in my life at all, if my mother didn't live with me. He is the only person Hattori has bitten in defense of me.

I only was around him these past 4 years for my mother's sake, and every occasion was hard.

I understand my mom's longings because I'm a mom too and my relationship with my daughter sucks.

With that understanding, I've tried to be compassionate and think of her, not myself. He's been in my house only because of that. I don't like him and tolerated him only because of our mother.

Because those rules still apply, even after mom's death, I hope that he will come to the memorial service because our mom would have wanted him there.

I think he's trying to cause a family fight because it would be a convenient way to excuse why he didn't attend. So, I won't let him pull me into one.

I am praying that we will have a good service that honors mom and that somehow my brother will attend.

After that, I am free from my obligations to my mom and I will put up my boundaries again.

My friends have always been more my real family than my own. In my book, family is as family does.

My FAmily is part of this circle of support, which I have really needed!, and I want you all to know just how much I appreciate your kindness to me, and my mom, and my son. I thank and bless you all!

I know I've always been thinking about you, praying and hoping God gave you the strength to care for your mom. He did.
Now lean on Him to help carry your grief as He helped you through those difficulties.
That's why He's there.
God bless! And don't fret about the service. It'll be the way it's supposed to be.
Light a special candle for all your FA friends, there in spirit!
We love you!

I send my sincerest, heartfelt prayers for peace and grace during this time of transition for the whole family.๐Ÿ™
