Hello fellow Failure fans—for those of you who have seen the band live, where & when did you first see them live (& at what venue)? Did you go back to see them multiple times since then?
Main Post:
Thing is, I was born at the tail end of the 90’s, on March 10th, 1999, so I wasn’t around for when their first 3 albums came out nor was I around for their active time period from 1990 to 1997.
I love the band, I really do, and would love to go see them live, really.

I’ve been a fan since 97 but never got to see them pre breakup so the first show was the Tree of Stars tour, the Showbox in Seattle, May 2014. I’ve seen them 12 more times since then, always try to catch at least two shows per tour.
Ledger Live Genuine Check Failure (Fedora 35) [Solved]
Main Post:
I went through the setup within the ledger live app, then got stuck on the genuine ledger verification process. After some research, I found the answer and would like to share it to the community, just in case anyone else runs into this issue.
1. Navigate to: ledger.com/ledger-live/download
2. Download the Ledger Live AppImage.
3. Make the file executable in a terminal:
chmod +x ledger-live-*.AppImage
4. Enter the following command to automatically add the udev rules and reload udev to allow USB access to your Ledger device:
wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash
5. Launch the AppImage by double-clicking on it or via your terminal.

Just used this today, thank you !
Had a love failure. Do not want to live anymore.
Main Post:
Do excuse me for my English. It isn’t my native tongue, so, at times, I might sound ridiculous.
This is not a confession per se. Just troubles which I want to share with somebody and get advice, if possible.
A little background before I start. I come from a place where ‘Arranged’ marriages are considered the norm. The society is conservative and people are narrow minded, me inclusive.
I am a 33 old male. I met the love of my life when I was 30, at my workplace. She is younger to me by 7 years. We were put in the same team and over the next 6 months, we became very good friends. She was already in a relationship with a college mate of hers.....theirs was a four year relationship then.
In the beginning it was platonic, she even used to share everything that is going between her and her boyfriend. So, I always knew about his existence and their relationship. On the other hand, in this 6 months of our platonic state, she had never shared anything bad about him or their relation. She always made it sound like it is a dreamy fairytale.
Later, I started developing feelings for her. She too did. I could see it in her eyes, I swear. If I was not convinced that she is getting interested in me, I would not have ever proposed to her. I used to be damn confused thinking how she could be interested in me all the while having a dreamy fairytale love story with another man. I had thought about it over a very long time and ultimately came to conclusion that maybe she wasn’t really very happy with him as she was trying to show. If I could prove my love to her, I thought, she would come to me.
Eventually, after 6 months, I told her in August 2011 that I love her. She said she too does. But also said that she can’t marry me, still. That is coz she is already in a relationship which she can’t discard just coz she has fallen in love again. She said her conscience won’t allow it.
But it didn’t end there.
She slowly started opening up and started talking about their troubles. She said that they are fighting too much to the point of not talking at all. She said that she doesn’t want him at all, but unfortunately, she is stuck with him. I listened to all that trying to be a good friend. Of course, I also hoped that she would leave him and come to me. The way I saw it then, we were friends first. So, I only tried to be a good and a non-judgmental friend.
Then she had very huge fight with him and they ended up almost killing each other. He told her that he doesn’t really love her and he had thought that she would be like how he wanted, making his life awesome in the process, which is why he had been thinking to marry her.
Slowly, we started getting close, physically. She started coming to my apartment on Saturdays. We did not have sex, it is considered definitely-after-marriage thing in the place where I come from. But we did pretty much everything else......repeatedly over 2-3 months.
After this, the other man started getting back to her again with apologies, gifts and all. Her mother knows about their relationship (she doesn’t know about my existence) and she intervened and bridged the gap between the two. I am not exactly sure how it happened, but that is how she said it is.
Now, they are getting married in less than 3 months. She has stopped talking to me completely after she got engaged about a month back. Once I had called her and literally cried and begged her to come to me. Told that I can’t live without her. She said she is scared of me and asked me not to call her and cause troubles in her life and that it is too dangerous if I do all these, now. I don’t really want to cause her problems in her life with him. So, the next day, I sent an email to her and promised her that I won’t talk to her again and I be a bother to her. It has been about 10 days since I have talked to her again in any form.
The problem is this. I can’t get her out of my mind. Day in and day out, I keep thinking about her. What she might be doing. What might be going between them two. Are they planning for their honeymoon? Where will they go? Will he give her orgasms? Will she......? Will he.......? Will they........? I can’t sleep at nights, I can’t eat, I can’t work, I just can’t do anything. I just have lost appetite for everything. Earlier, I used to be a star at work. Managers used to fight to have me in their teams. It has degenerated so much so that yesterday, my practice head politely hinted that he can let me go, if that is what I want.
I cant understand where I went wrong in the whole game. He had done and said so many things which I would not even ever dream of saying to her. Still he has got her and they are getting married. Over the past 1.5 years, I can touch my heart and swear that I have done everything what I could to make her feel happy and good. She herself has said it so many times. I have literally worshipped her and lived for her. He isn’t like that. If he is at work, he doesn’t even pick her call. I have left the client meetings or demos in the middle and rushed to talk to her always....even when we had just talked for 5-6 hours. I have skipped dinner a million times, talking to her all evenings and nights. Still, if I don’t get what I want, am I any good at all? Isn’t this a very big failure in my life? What use is this life?
I don’t think I can live without her. I don’t think I will be able to be with a girl again in my life. I don’t think I can do anything productive in my life anymore. My life is past. I have taken to smoking and drinking.....heavily. I have become very irritable and volatile. I have successfully alienated all my friends. My head is in a perpetual migraine and seriously, I am contemplating suicide.
I am totally fucked up, I guess.

I feel for you man, I really do. But some things aren't always meant to be. I know it sucks hearing that but I have loved and lost someone dear to me. I am still trying to cope with that. I thought I was a failure but I can tell you are a wonderful person. And her being with another man shouldn't stop you from being happy, reconcile with friends and try look at postive outcomes in life. Love is a powerful thing and it can really fuck you over. But keep your head up buddy. Life is beautiful and there is so much more to it. I think you can learn to love again. It's going to be hard to try. But I think it's worth a shot. Treat yourself and go on a vacation and just leave your life for the moment. Then when your head is clear try your hardest to start over. I know it sounds impossible but it's always worth a try. Sorry if I kinda sucked with the advice but it's true to the heart. Don't give up. Always look at the positive points of life. Cheers buddy I hope things end up well for you
Why the Failure of Netflix's Live Action Adaption Of Bebop is important.
Main Post:
Firstly if you are excited for the live action adaptation, that is great. I truly hope for those that are excited enjoy it and it holds up to what they had hoped for. No hate, no judgement.
Moving on.
This post isn't about why I feel the series will be a failure but the impact it will have as I am writing it off as a failure. I have reasons, many in fact.
The most often said phrase is "Well if its bad there will still be the original.", while that is true the problem is that this will be some peoples only exposure to the series.
I have no faith in this adaptation and I would go so far as to say the series should never have been adapted in the first place. They captured lightning in a bottle the first time around and even a second time with the film Knockin On Heavens Door.
I don't want the next generations exposure to what is one of the greatest animes of all time and dare I say tragedies of all time to be the subpar live action. If someone watches the live action and fails to enjoy it then they are very unlikely to watch the original.
I hate knowing we will see posts for years to come saying "I saw the live action and it was bad, why is the original good and why should I watch it?"
This is mainly a post for people who already have no faith in the adaptation but don't be a douche and hate on people who are excited for it. I simply wanted a place to voice concerns so those that are excited don't have to hear us bitch and moan.

We writing stuff off as failures before watching them now? That’s like writing a negative review without watching a show or movie.
