You can’t tell that from one text exchange. Yes, it’s possible, but it’s also possible that they’re just trying to motivate their son to try something new.
It’s only being controlling if there’s a pattern and you acquiesce. We don’t know that’s the case.

You could maybe describe it that way, but unfortunately that doesn’t work in collaborative projects.
But I’d also disagree - if “his ways” require him to regularly and publicly shit on the work of other people & to misrepresent issues others have with him, he’s arrogant and a dick.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
No, if you don’t go because someone set it up for you, you’re still letting yourself being controlled.
If you go because you want to go, you’re not being controlled.

This isn’t “being controlled”. Yes, the dad should have asked first, but it’s just a date for someone who seems to want to go on dates. That’s just being helpful in the wrong way.

A guy is currently doing this with bcachefs.
He’s also making life very hard for himself by being arrogant and terrible at communication, but that’s a different story.

Except for a couple of badly mixed voice lines, especially for Gustave. Everything else is great!

Well, the most efficient form of government is a dictatorship, which nobody want except the dictator.

Ah yes, let’s just let our old and disabled die, they deserve it for being the way they are! This train of thought has always lead to morally impeccable results!
Please re-think what you’re saying, because it’s disgusting on so many levels that I can’t even begin to describe all the ways it’s horribly wrong.

And let’s not forget that Meta used their apps to track you in mobile browsers. Even having their apps installed for rare use is a terrible idea.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 5 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s the restraint the writers are showing. That’s my point: the issue isn’t the multiverse aspect itself, it’s the replacability brought on by unrestrained multiverse implementations.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 5 weeks ago:
His future self opens a window and says “Hey, get some paper and a pen, I’ve got some winning lottery numbers for you!” and his past self goes “Oh boy!” and then immediately CLICK (closes the portal) before ever being shown the numbers.
Here’s your issue - it’s not the future self opening the window, it’s his past self. The future self can only speak through the window, but he can’t open it. So since the “current” self closes the window, the future self won’t be able to speak through it.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 5 weeks ago:
I get what you mean, but I have to disagree a bit. The slice of the multiverse we’re looking at is special because we’re looking at it. It only makes it irrelevant if the slices are treated as fully replaceable.
Take for example Invincible. The comics & series focus on a young superhero who could have become incredibly evil, but didn’t. The multiverse is used to highlight this: it shows alternative versions of him that did become evil, and it even says that most alternative versions did so. This makes the version of him we focus on that much more special, and allows for interesting character progression through being confronted with his fears.
But it only works because of the restraint of the writers, never showing us another good version of Invincible, only focusing on evil alternatives.
