No worries, I just wanted to make sure there was not some mistake. Here is my edited reply:

Two things:

1. why can’t a teen not sleep? At his age, the body needs to sleep because its constantly growing and changing. That would be the first thing I would try to understand and fix. And if it is something the kid is not willing to discuss with his parents, which is ok too, maybe with someone else they can trust.
2. if you have discussed with your son and there is no ambiguity between you I would just make sure that you sleep under separated sheets or whatever (he is not a little baby anymore and the body of a teen boy can react in ways neither you or him would be willing to see happen), provided you made it clear this should not become a habit because sleeping with mom may not be the best way to develop good sleeping habits.

Hope this helps.

…27 year old mother with a 12 year old kid equals 15

Thx a lot… captain obvious. I wished for the op to answer the question themselves.

Edit: at what age did you have you kid?

Sorry for the edit, I just realized your son and your age and it raised some questions… I will put back my answer once this has been clarified ;)

I too am quite surprised so few people seem to have been reading that book. I’m not even American but I’ve read it.

So much of what has been happening recently is explained in it.

Being bored is not a bad thing. If by being bored you mean ‘not doing something’ and not being ‘busy’ because then it means one can start thinking by oneself. Something that seems to be severely lacking in our so modern and so constantly busy societies.

If you want to know what are my usual activities, beside welcoming boredom, I would say: read, write, paint, go out for a walk (that’s amazing too, for the body as well as the mind), spend time with my spouse, making stuff with my hands.

It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.

So much this :)

Would chess count?

I mean chess is not not popular by any stretch of the mind, a lot of people around the world are playing it every single day and that won’t go away anytime soon, but I’m always surprised to see so much more excitement going on around a new version of This or That video game that people will play for a little while before switching to a newer version than for chess. Despite its apparent simplicity (and lack of visual effects), chess has remained a challenge for the smartest among us, and will keep on being so no matter how much better computers can be playing it.

Neither Tuta or Proton will neatly integrate with Apple Mail if you want to send/receive encrypted messages. At least the last I checked it required for Proton a separate client that was not bug free (can’t remember for tuta).

If you don’t care about encryption, you may want to consider the Swiss Infomaniak.

They have a cloud offer which includes cloud storage (1to base), calendar and email, plus the online version of MSOffice, all being hosted on their Swiss servers.

I may have missed something, here so to make sure:

1. Do you want a wiki specifically, or are you looking for a tool that would allow you to easily create and manage some worldbuilding bible, be it a wiki or not a wiki?
2. Isn’t LibreOffice able to export to MediaWiki (Wikipedia)? I have not checked, and never used it, but I think it’s there somewhere.

the best thing it can do is just make a document look good,

It can also help you write the actual book, worrying about the document ‘look’ aka its formatting is optional (and if done properly, using Styles, it’s almost 100% automated) ;)

Wouldn’t a word processor do trick? you can add links, images, refs, notes,… and have as many pages as you need (edit: and search them, add a table of content, and so on). LIbreOffice is most certainly already installed on your Linux distro and is also available for Mac and Windows.

No, but why would I want to watch another of those Americans pretend they’re a super hero saving the world while they only care about shoving their shit deep down our throats and then make us thank them for that?

Not knowing what usually makes you cry and what kind of movies you may enjoy, here are the first movies I know make me cry. Me being a a 50+ years old dude:
