why do you call it an insect?

lila

00:16

@stapmoshun Because the old lady next door once told me that they have recently installed wiretaps on the Internet cables and there is a surveillance about the insect, if you use the proper name of the insect-19 then it triggers an alarm bell and you are considered a priority because they want to make sure your thoughts about the insect are in alignment with the official narration.

@stapmoshun Oh and welcome to Awkward Silence, we don't get to meet new people there. And about the covid surveillance I was just kidding, I hope that didn't scare you :D

Q: Asking my coworker on a (semi) date during Covid times

There is a girl I work with who I really like. I have been an excellent coworker but have always been hesitant to speak with her about anything non work related throughout the two years. I am looking for a way to initiate speaking with her and tell her how I feel about her eventually, but it's be...

@Ael that issue with selenium is fixed now :)

i needed to recreate the driver instance

Q: Max retries exceeded with URL Selenium

So i'm looking to traverse a URL array and open different URL's for web scraping with Selenium. The problem is, as soon as I hit the second browser.get(url), I get a 'Max retries exceeded with URL' and 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'. EDIT: Added the...

@CaldeiraG I'm glad to hear you solved the issue :) How much time did you spend on it?

CaldeiraG

@Ael 10 min XD

Ael

@CaldeiraG Well, good for you! x)

Succesfully using one of your coworker as rubber duck is very nice :D (it still took me 45 minutes to solve the issue though)

Ael

09:45

Call me weird, but I find that there is nothing more satisfaying than closing your 20+ tabs because you just finished solving a bug and everythings finally work :D

That sounds very nice indeed :)

Hey folks, would appreciate an advice. Has anybody seen a question or know how to properly make a search request to find on, regarding "How to be just friends with woman?"

Background: was hurt after getting friendzoned and now I literally can not have any female friends

Literally can't maintain a friendship with a woman if I am not interested in her romantically, it's just romantically or nothing

So should I just write a full sent question?

lila

@CaldeiraG :D

Good aphternoon.

CaldeiraG

12:36

heyo :)

Ael

@DeutcheKnabe Hey there, welcome in the chat :) I think you should write your question in our sandbox first: interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3129/21067

lila

@DeutcheKnabe Hi welcome to Awkward Silence chat, we don't get to meet new people here ^.^ but I can't help you in this, I'm not an user of IPS, my site of origin is Pets.

CaldeiraG

@DeutcheKnabe i'm afraid that issue is about your inner self and we can't really help much but what i'll say is that you gotta move on

i too suffered from the same issue but now that i'm not a "teen" and moved past that, I'm pretty good with that, having a couple of female friends

tbf I can count my true friends on my hand

Deutche Knabe

@Ael had the same thought, but the place looked dead and silent to me, so I moved here. Can I expect feedback there soon?

@lila hi)

@CaldeiraG Yeah, the question may come deep inside of me. You know, this is like a self protection mechanism and I understand that this is not completely normal. Ideally I would like to proceed to a relationship from friendship, to know person better, but how can I even do it if I can't maintain platonic friendship with females.

Meanwhile I have a couple of great male friends and consider myself a decent friend

Thanks for advice, I will consider sending a draft to the sandbox

Ael

13:03

@DeutcheKnabe It's not dead. It's just that we delete posts once they are posted. And yeah, you usually get feedback on it in less than a day (unless if it's the weekend, then it takes more time)

CaldeiraG

13:13

@DeutcheKnabe I agree yeah

"how can I even do it if I can't maintain platonic friendship with females" - your fear of being hurt again is acting here too, again, i managed to overcome these but it took a long way to get there; the anxiety whether you're going too fast or slow is very real and I get it

Deutche Knabe

13:26

@Ael understood, thanks

Ael

No problem :)

Deutche Knabe

@CaldeiraG I am not alone, ahaha. Glad you did it, gj

CaldeiraG

@DeutcheKnabe thanks :)

Q: How to get a well-deserved apology from girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I have been together for a bit more than 2 years now. At this point, our relationship is stable and we feel good about each other's accompany. However, there's one thing that really upsets me: she hardly ever apologize. For example, last week we stayed in a hotel. She washed her...

romance

Arthur Hv

@ExtrovertedMainMan I don't know what to do with this one. It's partly a real issue partly trying to get support in a dispute

Ael

@ArthurHv Leave a comment or edit so that the question will focus on the real issue

I would do it but I am seriously lacking sugar right now and I have to go

Hey Eeps how's it going?

Thought to check on you folks

Hi what's Eeps?

@lila IPS

Aha okay, I'm not exactly bright :D I guess it's okay, I was worried for the 6 hour silence but you have broken the silence and it's good.

M.A.R.

Brightness is overrated

Turns on purple light filter

Everything looks green

lila

Haha maybe it overrated, but if I was brighter then I would understand the joke about purple light filter - but I don't ;_;

I only get that purple and green are subtractive reverse colors so it's impossible too see green with purple filter :D

I'm mentally drained because of how all the face-to-face contact nowadays is reduced and limited as a result of this insect floating around, and they say that in the autumn there is going to be a second wave of the insect.
