@faraday At least in this instance we know who started the war.

Bloody Corsicans. (hashtag not-my-Napoleon).

Why do I ask people questions before I just Google for my damn self? I'm so old and lazy.

Human connection. You don't really want to know, you want someone to talk to you about what they know.

@Tinuviel There's plenty of anti-Pole sentiment from the Russian side, too.

There's plenty of anti-Everything sentiment from the Russian side.

@arkandel said in RL Anger:

That is just genuinely crazy - folks opposing their own self-interest on behalf of billionaires.

@Prototart And Gulyás!

really outdoorsy types

In my dating experience, those people claiming to want 'adventure' think that going to a chain retail store (like a Wallmart or whatever) at an unreasonable hour to buy snacks is an adventure because they started drinking low carb wine at 2pm.

if someone is Hungarian then 100% they are a vampire

Or a porn star. Maybe both.

Isn't that just generally assumed, these days?

@ominous In a past life, I got a management-level person to make it official policy that all official interactions with my team had to be conducted via email, for security and auditing purposes.

@aria And yet again I am excluded from the running after a scurrilous campaign of "not that kind of bear" and "you're not even really that fat."

Reading this thread makes me wonder if anyone still plays these games for other purposes than getting laid.

What else is there?

@groth said in Dabbling, Mastery, Dunning–Kruger etc:

Assuming you are wrong is a good strategy I have seen many people use successfully.

I disagree... to a point. Assuming that you can be wrong is important. Generally assuming that anything you know/say/think/feel/believe is wrong can destroy your self-confidence. Be open to the potential to being corrected, and check up on what you think is true before you say it to a large room of people, but try to avoid constant self-doubt when you're able.

Pretending that all this writing is helping you prepare for that best-selling doorstopper series that's going to set you for life a la George R. R. Martin?

Oh, but it does! If you've seen it on a MU*, don't do that. And you're golden!

RL THING I LOVE

Finished a painful (for my non-math brain) stats assignment. I don't even care if I pass it at this point, it is DONE.

@HorrorHound said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

Man, look at you guys having civil conversations. What happened to this place? Did they legalize weed around the world or something?

You were saying?

Us non-North Americans being very...

@Groth said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

There's probably a word for doubling down on a misunderstanding until it becomes a slapfight but based on Wiktionary I don't think 'whitesplain' is the right one.

It's called "to Tinuviel."

My RL gripe is that time moves ever onwards.

Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" is twenty today. This is unacceptable.

@Rinel said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

From what I've seen in the past she's an asshole about the actions people take, not an asshole about who people are.

To many shitty people, sexuality and gender identity aren't who people are. They're choices being made.

I'm not saying that's how Pandora views it, just that it's hardly outside the realm of possibility.

@derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

To be fair, most men don't know how their own body works, much less a woman's.

I know all the bits of mine that don't work. So by 50 I'll know my whole body rather well.
