I’m gonna guess that “Quite the opposite; I have very strong morals. This however icludes things like not lying which means that I always speak the truth and not everyone likes hearing it. I don’t follow many of the social norms expected of me.”

is the reason for this

“A person recently said to me that they sometimes feel gaslighted around me because I so effortlesly make them question their own beliefs and feelings.”

It’s good to remember that most of our society is based on lying, and that most people prefer someone nice, rather than someone honest.

no

just no

please

It takes two is a fantastic experience to have with a loved one, even if inexperienced with games, it is very forgiving

“I live in a trashy society” don’t we all brother

More seriously, you got great advices in the thread, esp the pen and the muffins. You can offer sweets without having it mistaken as a romantic gestures, it then depends on the sweets you offer. A box of chocolates intent can easily be misconstrued, a box of donuts/muffins, much less so. Except if said muffins have hearts on them, it’s all about context.

Good luck !

It’s easier said than done tbh. It seems to be slowly changing lately tho, there’s hope still.

Stop blaming Devs and blame corpo above them. Can’t guarantee that’s the case here but it’s almost always their fault rather than the Devs when things go wrong on a launch like this.

Sooooo you just called yourself a NPC ?

Had a bit of fun with weird proverbs with coworkers today, two that stayed :

The one who swallow a coconut, has complete trust in his anus.

Don’t pretend to be a tiger when you’re a kitten.

Not really on theme, but the first one will often get a chuckle out of people without having to be on a pillow.

The rule already exists, living in the suburbs and working in Paris, I can tell you that they ended up forbidding them because a lot of people weren’t using them on the road.

Because humans are known for following rules to a fault.

We tried to warn you all but oh dear

Well, shutting you up was that easy, who would have guessed.

“Academic philosopher Michael V. Antony (2010) argued that despite the use of Hitchens’s razor to reject religious belief and to support atheism, applying the razor to atheism itself would seem to imply that atheism is epistemically unjustified. According to Antony, the New Atheists (to whom Hitchens also belonged) invoke a number of special arguments purporting to show that atheism can in fact be asserted without evidence.”

If only you could read, maybe you’d be more tolerant, but I doubt it, sigh.

Garona was an half orc (she gets called half breed in the movie), and was like that before the movie was even in the work. (Iirc they don’t mention the other half in the movie but we know it’s half draenei in the lore) The movie actually did a great job at respecting most of the lore and visuals, and it’s chokefull of Easter eggs for the ones versed into it.

Why do you feel that you have to expressly go out of your way to show to the world that you’re stupid ?

Is it a competition we don’t know about ? Maybe a bet ?

I see, it does make sense but there’s an argument to be made about obscuring things like that (not in the case of aikido tho, here it’s more of a “practical translation” of sort, and how it has always been passed down), which is why I said I can’t take it seriously.

But you’re right that if it profits OP, good for them, it’s a bit like religion in that sense.

Thanks for the precision

I do agree that they aren’t many, the ones who are actually careful about not mixing up their beliefs with science, sadly.

I see we do agree in the end, it was an interesting talk, thank you for that.

I do wonder if science really would have been quicker without religion tho. (Putting apart the time science treated religion as being heretic of course. I mean this in the “wouldn’t human find something else to be biased about/get their meaning lost in anyway” way)

Oh, I agree for the scientist in OP, dude lost his marbles or is coping hard on his cognitive dissonance, but my point was answering to the much simpler subject of “Scientists can’t be religious or they’re not proper scientists”.

As to the very fine line religious scientists must walk, if we’re honest, it’s true of many things that make the life of a scientist, because it is measurable and can be approached scientifically, doesn’t mean they will approach and measure it that way, humans are fallible, and they often do fail, but that’s another subject.

The way this is written is clearly intended to speak about energy of people, and some that steal it, like you’d steal a candy on your coworker desk, for example.

Which, oof, I just can’t take it seriously right from the start.

And then there’s the gross generalization of people and how they act, but that’s a more common trope, which can sometimes be partly true at least but meh.
