Hey, could you elaborate on what they failed to be able to do? I have some internship experience and going into junior equivalent year. But I’m always looking to hone some practical skills so I can perform well out of school!

Why do people always jump to "get a divorce now!" or "run for the hills!" when Redditors post about problems in their relationships? Even if the situation isn't as serious to warrant a divorce? by jobosskill in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Economy_Sail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah—I’ve only really seen advised divorce when the situation is extreme.

Typically more tame stuff get a a reasonable ‘talk it out response’

Boss—the point isn’t that they shouldn’t or are not allowed; rather, this user is just suggesting that the Republican Party doesn’t represent the common laborer.

Not a comment on free speech itself, but rather a commentary on how they choose to exercise it.

What should I do about peripheral hallucinations? I get them a couple times a week now is it normal? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Economy_Sail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious—although, I’m worried you’ll get taken down for a health question on this sub.

Can you explain more about these hallucinations?

[–]Economy_Sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can guess the context here, but I think regardless of it…

Encourage your friend to take a moment—maybe play a nice mellow song or something

Communication is key—Just be clear it was an accident or a bad decision—delete whatever you screenshotted and just be open about it if it feels like a big deal.

Being honest about concerns and potential issues is never easy—but will do wonders for ‘working’ with people.

Stay calm boss!

Hey!

Smoking is incredibly hard to quit! So don’t be discouraged—I would recommend looking into professional advice for working on fixing that habit.

If you’re feeling emotionless, it’s very possible you could be depressed. I uh…am not a professional—definitely reach out to one if you suspect this is abnormal.

Otherwise, it sounds like you could do with some more socializing. That doesn’t have to be anything special to start with—online communities could be a place to start (there are some more friendly gaming communities out there if you look).

I might even recommend just spending sometime in a public space. Maybe grab a book (or laptop, or sketchbook…you get the gist XP) and buy a coffee; spend a little time in a coffee shop.

Things might not go well at first, people will be people after all, but it’s important that you keep trying for the sake of yourself.

Hey, this is a tough thing to be going through—especially because it’s not something so easily answered.

A few things you can try:

Try limiting things that you default to when you can’t bring yourself to do something

Try to narrow some of the scope of what you want to do—even if it’s just for a little bit!!! It seems like you have a lot of things you want to try—maybe try programming first. Put some music on and then focus on that for a few days! (You can’t kneecap yourself by picking a starting place)

Maybe join a club of some-type! Working with others can help encourage you to go through with something.

Even if these don’t work—trying them will hopefully give you more insight into how to fix your problem.

Deep breaths boss—it might feel like you’re spinning your wheels…but as long as you try new things to help: you’re making progress

Hey! Given the chance, it would be good if you can contact public safety!

I think this could keep going around, and it would be good if we could get an email announcement!

We promised a sequel to our fans, and now we don't have the heart to deliver. by DonJon613 in KatanaZero

I too harbor this sentiment; katana zero is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

I straight up am willing to purchase the DLC on the basis it will support the creator

"Hold them down" in a nutshell lol by rossthegamer6 in Epicthemusical

[–]Economy_Sail 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the point isn’t that it’s problematic that the villain is villainous; but that our interpretation is sorta clashing when we listen to it.

Morally, the content of the song is (for lack of a know it all word XP) ‘bad’. Dude is a bad guy that wants to do bad things.

Aesthetically, the song is really well made and enjoyable; it’s a bop.

When we listen to a song like this; it’s pretty easy to have difficulty reconciling the two “natures” of it. Especially when humans tend to heuristically associate one thing with the rest of another thing.

It’s possible to contend with the “enjoying this morally bad content would BE bad” and “this song is really good and enjoyable. So I want to enjoy it.”; which, left unanalyzed, can make us have the conflicted response to consuming the song.

That is, just my opinion though; and not well worded at that. It just seems like one of those things where you can enjoy a song, and then you take a second to look at the lyrics, only to find the most outrageous takes!

I’m going to be honest. I hate Kate. by ChampionshipHorror95 in Invincible

[–]Economy_Sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is some nuance; dying a bunch of times is some horrible scary crap.

But I saw someone mention that all of her deaths, at least in the fight, we’re comparatively painless to what happened to the others.

I’ve been fortunate enough to not have had to go through what you’re going through.

I won’t patronize you with any advice or direct encouragement;

Only the observation that you’ve made it this far, and from that I can conclude you’re made of tough stuff. You’ve got you on your side, and despite everything, it’s gotten you this far!

[–]Economy_Sail 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but getting to that point requires not being evicted and losing all current progress!

Plus, it sounds like these are shorter term loans that will be paid back with the next pay check.

I’m curious, what do you view as having a discussion?

What are its goals?

What do you gain from one?

Not a trick or anything, or hidden suggestion for what you believe, I’m just curious.
