They weren't. Aryans are a mythological proto-race from which real people of that region supposedly originated. Of extraterrestrial origin and not having been under the sun, their skin was presumably white, but due to breeding with… who-knows-whom, became darker with time, but this is all a myth — pseudoscience and Nazi twist of it is particularly inconsistent.
In modern science it's not used to refer to any real ever existing ethnic group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan#Contemporary_scholarship

It's the thought that counts, but not the flaming arrow ☝

Also being thrown to the lions is pretty unpleasant 🤔

Who do I have to kill? I need a name 😤

Especially now — when some people can't handle even basic social interactions, they aren't confident they're up to this and feel vulnerable. Hell, I can remember avoiding my friend when he had lost his father — I did want to support him, but I've been in an unhealthy situation before, didn't want to go there again. Looking back I might've even done the right thing — we're still good friends, had I gone for it then and not handled it properly, it very well might not be the case.

@unspeaker
Could be the case for a lot of people — they are just scared that if they get invested too heavily, the person they support might become emotionally dependent on them, which should be okay with friends, but being handled without proper experience it might escalate into something really ugly real quick. With intent or not, but some people are manipulative, some have victim's mindset — you having good intention and not being able to hold this off, they might start leeching off you.

Yep, that meatbag in front of the screen seems kinda… redundant. And the screen itself too — just let AI do AI with other AI in a datacenter somewhere, churning through what's remaining of Earth's resources 😇

At long last it would be possible to run it in Wayland without any quirks!

Being bullied by Clippy is truly nightmarish 😣

A perfect opportunity to laugh at the size or shape of someone's… gun, and not offend anybody 🤭

Ironically not even Pooteen — IMO at this point he wants the war to go on indefinitely: without justification to pump money into military-industrial complex and with devastated Ukrainian regions now on Russia's hands, the economy would immediately fall apart. Theoretically, it can recover if all sanctions get lifted, but that is very unlikely to happen — not even Trump can do that.
For him it's all-in — he's unlikely to compromise even if they hand him over the land.

They are french… mutually-absorbing 😄

Back to "emotional support" and generic words — in my experience (and to my surprise) some people DO appreciate it, so now I say them myself from time to time.
Problem is — not everyone is empathetic or just perceptive in general (and I won't pretend I'm good at it either), so they can't even say those words properly — at an appropriate moment even. This is where it truly becomes a trainwreck! So maybe some of your friends aren't… distant — maybe they are like that.

@unspeaker
I've always thought that generic words of support, without digging deeper, would feel lame — same as receiving Birthday greeting online from a person you barely know. Funny thing, I have a second faux Birthday date that I use for my online profiles to avoid this and back in the day even some of those who knew me personally who've been buying that and sending me HB. Once I had an idea of holding a party on that day 😂
