This one is far more important than it seems: take care of you nips! At longer distances they can get bruised so bandaids or similar things are advised.

I feel you.

Felt that way a lot with friends and it makes me irrationally angry when it happens multiple times in a row, so I make it a point to ask other people what they were gonna say before they got interrupted. Makes everyone be more respectful and the people who get interrupted feel heard and can share their stories still.

But yeah pretty sure this is the exact reason I kinda distanced myself from one of my friends. She didn't even acknowledge when I said something so I was just present and that's about the only reason she wanted me there for I assume. Still makes me mad considering how much I tried to improve my social skills and stuff just to be a ghost irl again.

Honestly there's almost no way a sitting president gains popularity but considering his stance on Israel and stuff he sure as hell would lose some. I honestly don't think it would have been better.

Maybe being more policy specific would have helped Kamala. But the Democrats just have so much PR damage they haven't addressed over time, they are not doing themselves any favors. Humility can be an incredible thing but if you're a politician being humble is the hardest thing to fake, so if you're not, you're not gonna try if you're smart enough.

As a leftist (not in the US though) we just gotta take the L and that's that. I'll be waiting for the drop in support for Republicans after the fact and the following damage report from Rumpsteak's presidency. Let's just hope we get a competent cleaning crew to deal with the damage.

Also reminder that I'm on the hindsight 20/20 high horse so it's very easy to criticize, but I genuinely thought Kamala had a chance and it was a good idea so it's not like I make a good oracle lol.

Yeah none of this is good advice generally.

A person who just made a suicide attempt nedds routine and normality but with a lot of friendly interactions sprinkled throughout that.

Sometimes family can even be one of the reasons a person gets so driven to go that far.

So cutting off contact and potentially making his family put even more pressure on him is one of the worst things you could do.

Cutting off contact only helps if you can't handle the situation or the person anymore, and that still doesn't help them, it just shields you from mental stress.

Das würde Kinder für 16 Jahre daran hindern an jeglichem Online-Diskurs teilzunehmen und Eltern daran die Kinder langsam und Schritt für Schritt an das Internet heranzuführen.

Find ich ne ziemlich dumme Idee...

I second that.

If this sounds like retaliation, that's probably a good reason to get your union involved.

Either there is more to the story you're not telling us, or your manager and that coworker are absolute assholes. Maybe even both.

Ok well fuck that CeO with a rusty spoon then.

I mean making someone ineligible to be president for as long as he is under investigation for insurrection, treason or other crimes against the United States sounds pretty straightforward.

He could always wait and get back into it the next cycle if the investigation gets dropped or if he's proven innocent.

Don't like it, can't change a lot of it.

Some stuff I can replace with open source software, but a lot of stuff will always be proprietary and opaque. I kinda just have to deal with that.

It is by choice. Prominent developers made that choice because they thought it might eliminate a lot of the popularity incentives reddit creates.

Now I don't agree with that choice, but many others here do. I don't think this solves the incentive issues but just makes instances a bit more of a wild western and requires moderators to do more work figuring out what to make of an account.

Maybe it would be great if this is still an option you could turn on / off per instance or something.
