No debate there but I don’t think you can extend that truth into suggesting that everyone could just as easily be fulfilled if they just “focus their energy on other aspects of their lives”.

Wtf no your 9-5 (or in your case im guessing much longer) isn’t a replacement for a relationship.
If you’re somehow able to do nothing but work and self improvement all day and be satisfied with just that in your life then good for you but don’t assume everyone can just adapt to that mindset.
Humans are not evolved to find intimacy so irrelevant.
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have any book recommendations but I can’t help but feel like the entire approach you’re trying to take might be too over generalized and you’re better off trying to approach each problematic social encounter one by one.
If for example you have family who’s down on their luck and trying to move into your living space despite you not wanting that, you need to consider what their other options are for living alone and if that would result in a quality of life you would be able to accept yourself, and weigh that against your own expectations for how the living situation would pan out in your mind.
Stuff like that family member’s previous behaviour, ability to show gratitude and value you equivalently, the degree to which they are responsible for their current living circumstances, etc, are all important to consider. This is nothing generalized advice about “boundaries” could possibly help with imo.
If on the other hand you’re a woman and have issues with men hitting on you at work, you have a completely different set of considerations you must make, with virtually no overlap with the previous example.

Speaking of boundaries it looks like you need to be able to follow some yourself. This is not your opportunity to proselytize your beliefs.

I take it you’re not a fan of the borrow rules?
Would you rather manage your memory yourself, or would you rather use a language with a runtime?
Those are your only 2 remaining options for managing memory if you exclude rust-like reference constraints.

Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you’re doing is hurting them more by making this post.
- Comment on Workers Create Value 1 year ago:
Regardless of whoever is voted in in my country (Canada) no politicians will be capable of facilitating a system where in the average working citizen can comfortably afford food and shelter.
No one can do this because there is overwhelming sentiment that any attempt to socialize necessities necessarily devolves into some kind of dictatorship.
If you want to suggest I should align myself with those people you’re going to have to do a little better than fear mongering because the writing is on the wall for how the country is going to end up if we keep following this route.
Being able to vote for one of three people who are either unwilling or unable to ensure some basic standard of living for me is pretty damn low on my hierarchy of needs.
