But the truth is you can be in between
I think the term for this is assertive. At least that’s how I’ve been defining it. You can be compassionate while also setting boundaries to prevent people from walking all over you.
The best example from my life I can recall is when I was managing the weekend shift for a help desk and one of the techs got a call from a lady who had had a TBI and could not regulate her emotions. She needed some information that was not in our wheelhouse and when this kid told her shed have to call the other department on Monday she went off on him. I took over the call and was eventually able to talk her down and get her to understand that we could not help her and we were not just refusing to by going back and forth with her and keeping my voice even and setting boundaries when she started to get pissed. She was happy with the resolution I came up with by the end of the call. It took like an hour and I felt like I was breaking a horse to get therethough.

Explain how breaking their ability to boot into the OS because they booted from a USB is a good thing.

- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 3 days ago:
I loved that game and RDR. I 99% completed it. The only thing I have left is the gambling challenges which are ridiculous. I should have did them before I finished everything else.

I was trying to keep it limited to gaming and Tetris was the most basic one that came to mind. How about Pong?
Also not knocking these games at all. Just trying to make a point.

That’s the thing, who defines what artistic value is? I’ve seen some pretty creative pornography over the years. Is that artistic value? I’ve seen very creative depictions of violence and uses of profanity too. What about on the other end of the spectrum, Is Tetris have artistic value?

I don’t own a gun, I am 100x more likely to use it on myself than need it for self defense where I’m at. But the scenario I’m describing, whether or not the home invader has a gun or not doesn’t matter, the simple fact that they are invading your home in the first place justifies lethal force. You could be injured/killed by them even without them having a gun so the safest option for the resident is shoot them immediately. The resident should not have to accept any level of risk whatsoever in dealing with this situation. You’re not getting a gun because someone might attack you with a gun. You’re getting a gun because someone might attack you.

You don’t own a gun in case of a burglar having a gun. It’s in case of home invasion period. I’m not going to wait around to determine if they’re armed or not and I’m not going to restrict myself to some lesser means of stopping them just because they aren’t. I didn’t create this situation and I am not going to accept risk to myself to preserve the life of some asshole who doesn’t even respect me enough not to break into my home.

Then they post about how the gun owners aren’t doing anything to stop the fascist government. Yea, you’ve been alienating them for decades. They’re not on your side.

Cool I can’t do that without thinking about my job either. Thinking about your job isn’t work unless you fuckers want to start paying for it.

- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 3 weeks ago:
The devs rushing the game out half added results in them getting $225M. So they have incentive to be shitty too. I don’t know enough about any of them to say which is more likely but that logic goes both ways.

I think a lot of people don’t really think about it. A lot of the people I know are really bad with money and make a lot of short sighted financial decisions

You can inherit nothing because all the assets went to cover the debt though. That’s my point.
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeah you definitely can find price variations but I can’t recall ever finding a better price not on Amazon except maybe getting electronic components off eBay. Those were always a gamble if they’d ever arrive or not though.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 4 weeks ago:
My point was that if you have too much debt your inheritors aren’t going to get anything when you die so just saying that debt doesn’t get passed on like it’s nothing is kind of disingenuous. I guess if you don’t care about leaving anything to your family you don’t need to worry about it but personally I want mine to get as much as possible.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 4 weeks ago:
but if theres enough debt the other assets go towards that rather than the inheritors.
