If you’re being perceived a different way than you intend, I find it’s best to simply apologise, explain that what your intention was and clarify what you mean.

It’s not just you that can mistakenly imply, others can mistakenly infer things too; such is the nature of human to human communication. (Considering we’re just a mess of electrical impluses it’s a miracle we can communicate ideas at all tbh)

Just be yourself, apologise and clarify if it comes across incorrectly, learn from the immediate feedback and I feel critically; don’t be trying to keep to guidelines of how you need to behave in a conversation. Be yourself, be in the moment. If you’re trying to micromanage your behaviour in the moment, people will sense that and it’ll put them off.

Just try to lean towards replies that hear the other person and show them kindness, but don’t overthink it on a day to day

Is there a reason you were called a dick? You kind of skimmed over that.

Here’s some go tos:

• Ask follow up questions
• Be kind
• Keep an eye out for signals that they need/want to leave the conversation

Have you read Discworld? It’s a bit more fun than The Witcher but has similar twists on traditional fantasy and magic ideas

I wouldn’t mind learning Russian, just so I can play Pathologic in its original language 😂

I have a background in Games, UX, Service and Product design and I would really like to contribute to FOSS projects but have no idea how to

I’m unfamiliar in the etiquette of GitHub and how I could contribute my skills

Unemployment is such a weird metric. If supported externally; high unemployment should be a goal no?

Whats the comparative poverty rate?

I don’t get why we just keep inventing bullshit jobs when we could just let people be humans

The way you can blacklist listicles and similar garbage is worth the asking price in the face of it

Google is absolutely useless now, nothing but SOE farmed rubbish.

It’s become completely unusable.

I’ve moved over to Kagi 100%

It’s well worth the money for the amount of control I have over my experience. Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome

Xbox Series X, Surface Pro X,

They didn’t, no one wanted to do it and Vic was asked

No one wanted it anyway 🤷‍♂️

No journalist has any idea how Mastodon works

They’ve just tied their careers to the profits of tech and have lost all passion they have for the nerdy hobby of their youth

Tech “journalists” have no idea how to speak about Mastodon or the fediverse.

They seem to think that unless something has billions of users, it’s dead. They can’t even comprehend how people could prefer a smaller more selective userbase

I feel that issue occurs because people are expected to have faith in scientific consensus and aren’t taught the nuances of our understanding of the world.

People are taught to follow the scientific consensus as rhetoric when they should be taught that science is always the best guess and that increased understanding that undermines previous understanding is a good things.

Instead the logical gulf is used to discredit scientific foundations and advancement by those who seek to profit of societal combat and hostility.

This all comes back to how we fail to educate adults generally in anyway and it’s left up to the likes of for profit News and entertainment companies to tell the story however they want

Scientific truths change over time too. Science isn’t exact, it’s always our best guess.

That isn’t even getting into how every scientific confirmation creates countless new questions and hypothesis. With each confirmation our NET understanding of reality actually decreases
