People not having as much time to “decide” to go for bad faith is interesting

I wonder if someone made an actual list of observed differences in behavior IRL and online, with the same discussion as input.

I guess people would tend to simply refuse to interact with the discussion, but they would have the same things to say, right? Like, they don’t have different opinions online and IRL. If you were giving people as much time and “confidentiality” to think and express their thoughts (which are generally seen as good things), it should look similar. Basically I think the online assholes would also be IRL assholes if you let them talk in similar conditions.

Anyways, there are differences, but I don’t see any causes for “don’t ever listen to anything due to this”

Oh, why so? Less likely to be a bot?

I would guess you didn’t live in Gaza, but you still have an idea of what is happening there. Of course if you did live there, it would likely take precedence over what you read about it.

You don’t actually need to take decisions about Gaza, so you could just ignore it. But you will need to take a decision about a cancer you’ve never lived before, and you will need to to use other people’s experiences about it to make that decision.

You are currently living by the “don’t put your fingers in the socket” rule, and you (likely) never tried it. You (likely) don’t understand why, or how bad it would actually be, but you’re following it, and it is a good thing for everyone involved.

Using other people’s expressed experience is absolutely necessary for your everyday life, and you will do it even if you don’t want to. Figuring out exactly how to deal with the mistakes and contradictions and lies gets complicated, and is a fundamental subject in science

PostmarketOS, I have an fp3 I want to install it on

I’m also watching the latest 1v1 tournament of Beyond All Reason, double heavy mines are terrifying

Do you actually feel your computer slow down? I would guess your 20 unused tabs would get swapped out and the rest should run relatively fine

Offering to hang out once in a while is nice. Without going into fancy considerations, it’s nice

Do be careful when suggesting specific activities, it can feel like you’re telling them what to be (and cause reactance). If you had parents doing it to you, you know the issue

I don’t think the “judging” part matters. They are likely to be unhappy at some point in the future, and if you happen to be proposing something different at that time, they might be more interested. This doesn’t need to be about judgement or respect, having a way into another life should always be desirable (as long as you’re not being an asshole)

note that I am basing this on how I believe I would feel if I was them, and do not have any experience as your “role” here

This fails to convey how painfully tedious the communication is between the foundation and the community. At this point it feels like the tension between high executives and an union, with the executives having the deep conviction that they are good and that the union will magically recognize it, if only they could perpetually delay every one of their demands.
