Gods, I need to figure out how to communicate this to people.
If you are close to me and you ask something, a favor, help, assistance... I am generally incapable of saying no.
Even if I don't want to, don't feel up for it etc.
I'm like a discount version of The Luidaeg who can't ask a fair price.
Sometimes it is really important to recognize when is a bad time to ask for my help.
Worse, struggling with this makes me feel awful every time.
@mawr I will be upset if it gets axed.. like.. I've been using it for... a very long damn time.. since like 2009. :(
Sometimes I feel the need to apologize because I'm the social equivalent to the cryptic background dragon in a fantasy novel that appears for 2 scenes, offers some cryptic advise to re-contextualize a problem for the protagonist and vanishes back back to my lair to like read a book or sleep for decade until a new problem arises.
Except I do that to my friends too. :(
@kistaro I mean it is pretty reasonable. I do it when I have a budget in mind and I don't want post like 10-15 back and forth to get there.
@Draekos Confused the hell out of me at first... and every so often I see it... and I'm tempted to ask "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"
@Draekos folks at my current employer like doing Year-Day-Month and it BOTHERS ME

@mawr Wait what... I regularly swap devices without having sent a message... or is this like... intermittent? I don't doubt it happens. Just not seen it and I would be super annoyed... might need to change my behavior.

Okay so sure i said I was going to lean more Monster for my monstergirls but are you going to say no to this buff demon magicalgirl instead?
We live in a society that punishes compassion. Not in a cynical misanthropic way, i mean that money is neccessarily a zero sum game. We live in a system where going out of your way means sacrificing time, and time is money
And yet we still care about each other. That says a lot about our potential
@anthracite carrots are only for shareholders in capitalism though...
That and most of the RtO advocates are like.. the most sleezy "WORKERS HAVE TOO MUCH POWER NOW!" capital class turds that need a serious cause off consequences money can not absolve them of.
I was reading yet another article on HN about how companies that had a lot of people switch to working from home are taking punitive measures to make people come back to the office and I suddenly wonder if *anyone* is trying a carrot rather than a stick: "we will give you more money if you spend this much time in the office."
Because seriously all the IT nerds I see whining about this on Hacker News are also mostly perfect spherical economic units who exist only to maximize their profit and you would think they would react to this like small children offered free candy.
@anthracite That is fantastic brand name.
re: AC6 (spoilers for NG+, rambling about characters)
@Draekos
NG++ makes Iguazu my favorite punching bag.
Chatty is amazing. Remember to get your laughs when you can!
If you haven't done the "Ambush the Red Guns" mission... G1 Michigan really becomes a fantastic character there.
Ice Worm is probably one of my set piece boss fights with gimmick weapon. It is very cinematic and fun!
Liberator of Rubicon ending definitely hits the feels when you see massive open warfare breaking out on the ground below and Rusty shows up!
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
