Yeah that’s tough when you run into a wall like that. Maybe just reiterate that something seems up, and then if she refuses to admit that, you can at least expand on your observations and why you think something is up. Ultimately, if she still refuses to talk about things, you have a binary choice to make. Tolerate it, or walk away.

I mean I’m a pod person but, how about you literally just say all this to her instead? Ain’t nobody psychic. Assumptions are stupid, get the facts.

Lol, neurospicy, I like that, might need to use that myself

I like using it to help get the ball rolling on stuff and organizing my thoughts. Then I do the finer tweaking on my own. Basically I kinda use a sliding scale of the longer it takes me to refine an AI output for smaller and smaller improvements is what determines when I switch to manual.

Yeah… True enough.

I concur. I got downvoted just for pointing out the left has an issue courting young male voters. I’m so sick of my own party.

Compassion fatigue is a thing. You can try for some Buddhist state of Nirvana that would likely take a lifetime to pursue… Or you can start curating your input. Stop doom scrolling, look for positive science news and the like. There’s plenty of positivity out there still, it’s just not algorithm friendly.

Because they have a tendency to not take accountability. Nothing is ever their fault, there’s always an excuse, there’s never an unqualified apology. If you are an exception to the rule, good on you.

I know two people in my life with NPD. One person is capable about having conversations about how he impacts the group socially. The other has just been cut out of my life permanently for refusing to address his issues.

I use an older model that’s kind of like this one.

Tis HEPA, but I’m sure you could get the same effect for cheaper. That said, I’ve been happy with mine for about 4 years now.

Did you literally ignore my example? How does moving out of the way of an ambulance address either of my two points? For them to get out of the way, the ambulance had to reach the protestors. In doing that, the ambulance is already substantially delayed by avoidable traffic congestion.

And the on call doctor?

That’s ok though, ignore the substance of my argument and focus on the fact that you somehow found my post insulting. Forgive me for thinking you don’t know what you’re talking about, clearly you do since you… Completely ignored my examples.

When? After they’ve already backed up the road for miles? That’s not how traffic works.

How about an on-call doctor driving to an emergency case at the hospital? They going to magically see him coming and teleport everything out of his way?

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I think ones that block roads are counter productive and just hurt their own causes. They should go bother the actual companies or politicians. Disrupting road ways is just stupid. You have no idea who you are impacting when you do that. Nobody would find it acceptable if my version of protesting was running around spraying a machine gun in the air. Do you think blocking roads can’t get people killed?

I mean… In my life I’ve gone from a (naive child that took my parents words for fact) theist, to agnostic atheist, all the way to whatever the fuck I am now. It’s all a matter of perspective.

You go deep enough into metaphysics you can trip yourself the fuck out.

If anyone wants to humor me, check out this seemingly innocuous video about a comic book villain. Let’s debate some metaphysics!

Met her in Copperbell Mines in FFXIV.

It’s both. We are both simultaneously capable of free will, yet are also products of the universe that created is. So my answer to your question, in my humble opinion, is yes. Yes, we can victim blame while simultaneously lamenting the corporate landscape.

Let’s make this simpler. This corporate greed is a problem, yes? What actions have you taken to remove this problem?

It’s pretty simple. Because we are all so spoiled and entitled that we won’t even consider NOT buying their shit anymore. It’s the same reason the video game market has grown rampant with micro transactions. They keep pushing the boundaries, and we keep giving them our money regardless of what they do. I’m actually curious to see how far they can push this insanity. They already slap a new year on sports titles every year and somehow sell the same game to the same people annually.

PUT YOUR WALLET DOWN.
