ICYMI, I didn’t want to sound defensive. I mean it’s an interesting conservation, and I found it intriguing that I agree wholeheartedly with what you wrote yet arrive at a slightly different conclusion. People don’t always look to pick fights, sometimes, it’s just about discussion.

I do agree with almost everything you wrote, but I don’t understand the moral consequence. One do not have to think they’re too smart or too pure to take some kind of solace from the fact that there’s one less fascist walking the earth.

To me, that has nothing to do with being “better” as a human. It’s just that their project means my/our death. The more they grow, the more we die and vice versa. I do not dehumanize them nor do I think they’re stupid or deserve anything.

It’s as simple as : the more they grow, the more anything I care for will wither away.

I’ve finally developed the skill those last weeks.

Info dumping = I walk away. Calmly, kindly but… I just walk away. At work? With friends? At a bar? Walking away.

My life is easier now and dissociation is down by 90%. I should have done that YEARS ago.

Ah yes the spin

I suppose that’s the best way indeed. But I thought it wouldn’t hurt, in cases where no one could be found, for people who are slowly burning out to know that others may be available for helping, even for a small time, while they recover !

Honestly, my generation (80s) does not deserve Ms. Thunberg.

Rhythm and flavor, brother/sister. Give the author a break.

And here I was thinking : “Hey, clever me just noticed it looked like the saddam hussein meme. I’ll go to the comment section make that joke. It will be hilarious.”

The comment section :

Almost spilled my morning coffee laughing. Also, that’s not kind. Also, that’s brilliant.

Agreed

I’m not sure that’s true, but I understand how it could lead to this conclusion. My personal stance on the matter would be : do as you please as long as you don’t harm others.

I can understand your reaction, but I suppose that as long as I don’t bother people and devs with my preferences, it might be ok.

OP edited!

Maybe. I’m not a native English writer so it may not have sounded like I wanted. I just find this curious, but I’m not in pain because of that.

Yeah, but that’s an interesting thing to talk about I think.

My gf always creates characters looking as closely as possible to her. I do the exact opposite. What’s funny is that… she lacks self confidence and I do not. So it’s not about that. I suppose it’s something else that determines us that way. I have an idea, but I wanted others opinions.

Well, it depends. I’d skip games I’m mildly interested in, yes. And yes, it means most games. Well strangely enough it may depend on the game, LoL or other MOBAs, for example, I don’t mind the gender of my character.

But yes, I may have in common with those people the tendency to skip some games, but it stops here. The main difference being I’m not going to annoy anyone or cry on steam boards because of my personal preferences.

Having the same stuff, I can confirm some days, it can borderline drive me crazy.

This template is fire!

Absolutely black and I feel you. I’m 38. If I dare call my mom by her first name one, I’ll get obliterated on the spot.

Now that I think about it, the only people I ever heard calling their moms by their first names were white. But it must be like… 2% ? And people I mostly hang out with happen to be white. So it’s kinda biased.

Power courses through you… Authority.
