Yeah, if I find my water glass from yesterday in the morning it’s like ooo extra flat water tastes kind of like dust.

Yeah those people can take a while to sniff out. It’s difficult when someone is kind and generous with you, maybe even protective, but they lack empathy towards people who they consider outside of their very small kindness bubble.
Actually reminds me of this old article (checks date, wow, really old). Kind of related to Dunbar’s number. It’s pretty intuitive, but still some good reading.

Not if the friend is wrong. If they’re really wrong then, I’ll try to talk them out of it. If they’re really really wrong, then I’ll stop being their friend.
I don’t like this kind of in-group/out-group clannish mentality – that “right” is whatever the in-group decides, with no greater thought to what’s like actually the best thing for everyone, whether they’re in the group or not.

It’s art.
I don’t agree with it, but it’s beautifully put.

Even married, you can have an honest discussion with your spouse about seeing other people (preferably before you get married), then just tell them you’re going to see Coleplay with your work girlfriend. Like it’s not illegal, and it’s not even wrong unless you make it wrong by being a shady little shit about it.
Just like fuckin… talk to each other about your feelings. God.

I mean I’ve left the house without my glasses and I’m legally blind without them, so I can understand just how absentminded a human can get.

That’s interesting and mostly relatable. After a few months of happy isolation during lockdowns, I realized that I do have some meagre needs for the good society of a friend from time to time.
But yeah not a lot of people are OK with that sort of “out of sight out of mind” type friendship. The people who are you treat like gold, though. Or at least I do, because I actually need them.

I’m sure it depends on the introvert, but I have two really good friends. I find I can hang out with those friends basically without draining my social battery, so they’re my main goto for socializing.
Everyone else takes effort.

Same thing with open concept offices. To extraverts it feels more productive and collaborative, but it’s actually the oppo to anyone engaged in any kind of focus work.

That’s great. It’s like you were temporarily a worker’s co-op.
I remember my company at the time also admitted that COVID was threatening the bottom line and many in the all hands and public chats suggested just what your company did.
Instead we got multiple rounds of gutting layoffs mid-pandemic, a mass exodus of core talent, and the founders selling out to some B tier silicon valley fucks who fly in every now and then to complain about morale.

Perhaps this is a weird part to single out, but it surprised me
I mainly played on the 3DS from when I was 6 until I was 15, so I don’t have as much experience with other consoles.
[…]
The 3DS was simply Nintendo’s best era, and I don’t think we’ll see anything like that again given the current direction of their latest consoles…Curious if others agree. I would’ve thought that it would be the SNES era, but that’s probably betraying my age more than anything.
Great article! On par with gaming publications, and actually probably better than most Nintendo Power articles I remember from back in the day. Great job!!
