The funny thing about the point about similarity between Russian and Ukrainian languages is that linguists will tell you that Ukrainian has more similarities (shared words, and syntactic constructs) with Polish and Belarussian than with Russian.
No, EndeavourOS is a nice, easy installer for Arch. You use Calamares and either select packages, or groups of packages in GUI, or/and provide a list of packages in a text file for Calamares to pick up during the install. You can even ignore Calamares altogether and just use Live OS to install Arch kind of the usual way, but from a comfort of a graphical environment; i.e., multiple pseudo TTYs, no need to configure WiFi, with a full-fledged GUI browser (Firefox), etc.
Manjaro Live OS can't be used to install vanilla Arch. Manjaro uses its own package repositories that differ significantly from the Arch repos, in terms of versions (which are held back for at least a couple of weeks) and in terms of which packages are available (quite a few AUR packages are present in the Manjaro's repositories).
Parent post was talking about the Democratic primary, not the presidential election. Hatred for Trump doesn't explain why Biden would do well among black voters in a race that's not against Trump.
Biden is going to be the most pro-Black President in history, even more than Obama (due to a better political climate).
He literally ran his campaign as a repudiation of Charlottesville and White supremacy. (See: His announcement speech.) Biden's VP is Black, and he personally insisted on that.
Racial justice is literally the core of Biden's platform, and he'll deliver for Blacks (and against White supremacists) like no other President in history.
But yes, miraculous—or maybe Americans didn't want to vote for another President who is clearly comfortable with White supremacy? Biden's entirely campaign was a repudiation of that worldview.
Wow, that resembles something I wanted to implement myself. It's crazy how most of the things you think of doing are already done.
I think I will migrate to it eventually, thank you.

You wanted to say "Magit" in the last one :-)
Why do you say you're limited to text-only things? Org supports links, images, code blocks, spreadsheet-like tables and such. For me the experience of migrating to Emacs+Org was more of a liberating type.
Several people in the thread have already recommended meditation. I’m going to join them.
If you’re already doing therapy, consider complementing it with meditation. Meditation, if done right, can be equivalent to years of therapy.
The benefits are great, and for your situation the most relevant are reduced/eliminated anxiety, more willpower, energy, clarity (to see through depression for example); but there many others.
However, there’s a catch: meditation is hard. It requires consistent effort and dedication, just like any practice involving a complex skill (e.g., going to the gym or swimming pool).
For a completely secular practice, I’d recommend “The Mind Illuminated” by John Yates [1], a neuroscientist and a master meditator, whose aim with the book was to create a modern manual for meditation by making old Buddhist teachings accessible to an average westerner. The book is a synthesis of those teachings complemented with both his experience as a master meditator /and/ as a neuroscience Ph.D. This means that along with detailed instructions on how to actually meditate the book contains theoretic chapters explaining in popular scientific terms how your brain works and what meditation has to do with it, by first introducing a simple model, and then gradually building upon it as you progress through the book and develop your skill.
Oh, and you if you need a little more persuading or motivation you might want to check up on books by Sam Harris [1] and Michael A. Singer [2]. The first one is also a neuroscientist and a famous sceptic, and the second is a former programmer and a successful businessman. Personally, when I was in a similar place as you are now, I found that simply reading Singer’s book was a form of therapy.
If you don't care for maximum POSIX compatibility, i.e. your script is bash-specific, it's better to use "hash", which is going to ignore aliases (but not functions) and also has the benefit of caching the command for further use.
hash foo &>/dev/null || { echo "foo command not found blabla..." >&2; exit 1; }
