It was the early 2000s. Teachers would say things like “you’re acting like a girl, show everyone you are a man” and whatnot. Guess you got lucky and I’m glad to hear it.
My parents and school teachers and peers made it very clear to me that if you show emotion such as sadness, jealousy, frustration, fear, or anxiety, you were not living up to being a male and thus are weak and deserving of punishment, physical violence, and social isolation and ridicule.
Just download .exes for windows and run them with WINE. Don’t have a single snap or flatpack application. If it doesn’t run then u didn’t need it in the first place 👉😎👉
Edit: someone DMed me and took this comment seriously. Bless ur heart
