People riot

It depends on the country, I'd say.

I love that Theora is called that after the controller in Max Headroom played by Amanda Pays.

That's precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.

Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

That "etc." certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn't care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.

Read more. Then, write more.

It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.

That can be, in many cases, because you don't read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you're even convinced that reading isn't worth it.

If this is the case, you don't have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.

I think he was very polite, considering.

how does BunsenLabs compare to CB++? I know they both came out of Crunchbang but I went with BL when that died.

Also interested. Same scenario.

(i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon)

What culture is that? I wasn't aware such a thing existed.
