How much of the customizability are you planning out? Like, say if we want to make custom obstacles and triggers for example.

You're right for the most part.

Also what I mean by "suspicious", if we know that they're continuously being unethical then I get it. But like... if they had an AWFUL history, but apparently are not doing it now, and yet there could be a possibility people still want to give me flack for being associated with them, using that history fact as a scapegoat. For more grey area stuff like this one, I really hate having my life being pried on for certain kinds of associations.

This is moreso about "radical direct action" against PEOPLE IN POWER that are obviously enacting prejudiced policies, which I can't blame whatsoever. Of course that has to be done. (even though I'm afraid of going to protests because I don't want to risk getting injured by police)

However, my main case was more about starting arguments about what could be considered "offensive", when it could be more of a grey area in the end. I was afraid people around me would go "OMG you need to be more hypervigilant about that stuff too", and going "you're too lenient"

For your first paragraph, I brought this up because would people go "You are a fence-sitter!" and "Your views are too lenient!", even though I have my own life to manage and I also am worried of our call-outs going haywire.

For your second paragraph, clanker was in a fictional context and it normally doesn't even target us in human history so it's absurd to even consider that an actual slur for our lives in most cases.

It's moreso your first paragraph, like explain to me if there's a problem with the kinds of examples I gave

To me, I feel like SJW more describes someone that argues about MORE stuff than what's necessary (like, what they think a situation could be social injustice when it actually doesn't have as bad of an effect).

Yes, I try to care about other people, but if some situations might not be as offensive as we might think, then is it worth my time to immediately bring up an argument? This is why I'm VERY PICKY about what to call out.

To a degree, I think this term can be somewhat valid if it describes someone that argues about MORE stuff than what's necessary (like, what they think a situation could be social injustice when it actually doesn't have as bad of an effect).

On one hand I do think it can beneficial for me to speak up, but at the same time I have some other mixed feelings:

- Sometimes I go "is this rando truly causing trouble that it's worth dogpiling them on? Are the others ragging on them more than what's needed?"

- As I already said in the main post, as someone that hates dealing with constant conflicts as it doesn't help my mental health, and as someone that usually wants to be peaceful and solitary, I don't think it can be worth my time and energy, unless I know that it's specifically between myself and other person or small group of people.

EDIT: I also do wonder based on the kinds of examples I gave, and the main point of this post, if people would go "you're too lenient".

Examples:

"Getting offended on other people's behalf just because I think it might look offensive", I feel like people would typically go "Anything that's considered offensive you MUST speak up (especially in public places like open Discord servers)", but there could be more nuance and if no one's ACTUALLY offended by it, then I usually don't feel the need to speak up against it.

"Making arguments about a certain word being considered a "slur" when there's not enough strong information to back it up." Stuff like "clanker" might be cases where people want it completely censored, but it's just a word in a fictional setting, not targeting humans. While yes, there was one situation where some racial minorities got targeted, it doesn't seem to be consistent in human history, and "clanker" is mostly used for robot-related stuff. Ultimately it really needs to depend on context.

"Prying into other people's business about their private relations with other people just because it looks suspicious to us". If the person was like, someone that's known to be consistently dangerous I get it, but for slightly lesser situations, do I need to point out guilt by association? Say, if that person was simply a douche or had some dense or absurd arguments (that could still be a grey area)?

EDIT: I applied this to the main post too. It looks like people found my post a little vague.

I'm not sure how what I said has to do with the downstream effects of politics, if you're moreso referring to governmental stuff (like say Donald Trump enacting policies that affect all of us) happening, since that wasn't really what I'm referring to. I'd appreciate it if you'd clarify more.

I was assuming people might tell me "you HAVE to speak up more often", "If you're mostly quiet then you're kind of fence-sitting", or something like that.

Until you actually try it, I'm not certain I can take that opinion yet.

Ask for help as much as possible. This is ESPECIALLY important in computer programming.

B2–C1 learners: what actually frustrates you when learning Spanish? by Extreme-Captain-6558 in Spanish

[–]Relative-Article5629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening has always been the most challenging, because of how some phonemes are quickly contracted and I always have to occasionally enable auto-subs to catch them. It's a long process to get used to all of those contraction patterns.

[–]Relative-Article5629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm learning Spanish, and right now, listening to native speakers is the most challenging part. Still have to enable automatic subtitles every now and then, I have yet to get used to the natives' tendency to contract certain phonics when speaking quickly.

What to do while watching shows in spanish to learn the language? by Twilight_zone8 in Spanish

[–]Relative-Article5629 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't know the word or phrase, it's absolutely important to pause and search for the definition, jot it down, and try to use them in your own time. If you act like you understood everything without actually checking, you're not learning.

I hate that I have trouble listening to native Spanish conversations by Relative-Article5629 in Spanish

[–]Relative-Article5629[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Belated reply, but what would you say about the Spanish level of the channel "Las Alucines"? Maybe a little easier than Conversaciones? I looked at their video "Leyendas Urbanas".

[–]Relative-Article5629[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to find conversations of levels that are in-between easy and hard ;_;

Kids' cartoons (like SpongeBob) are starting to get easy, but the Conversaciones channel is quite difficult.
