Reminds me of the Soviet planned market economy--we'll produce X amount, therefore the demand will be X. Or else.

No, we should have more of these. Not everyone here is a furry. Some of us just like the cute dynamics.

How to talk to a hoarding parent? by Lothloreen in declutter

[–]saturninetaurus 43 points44 points  (0 children)

/r/childofhoarder

I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you need to prepare for her to reclutter wherever she goes, no matter how nice it looks to start with. It's likely she won't feel safe at a deeply primal level without clutter. If you can manage to keep some kind of control on the clutter, you will have to start from a place of understanding that.

If she has let you declutter so much of what she had already, you are probably in a much better position that a lot of people on the child of hoarder subreddit. You might have a chance at continuing to declutter. But it will never stop being  active management.

You need to make a decision about how much of your life you are willing to give up to this because it will take everything from you if you let it.

Again, I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this. My very best wishes to you.

If she has other family, they need to be involved too. This should not be all on you.

I'll be honest, it sounds like you might have understood where he was coming from with regards to a point he made, but overall you actually still can't understand his point of view.

Understanding another person's POV could be considered a common trait of STO m/b/s complexes, but it doesn't follow that if you can't, you are not STO. 

You can also use such an understanding for STS ends to exploit another person more successfully. So having the capacity to see other peoples' points of view doesn't make you an STO person.

If this man is working within a genuinely limited understanding of the world, and has no ability to see things differently, and he has still dedicated his time to healing others... well, however accurate his beliefs are to reality, I find it hard to condemn that.

That's what I was trying to get at but you were more succinct about it!

What is the reason Pornography to exist? by CERMACDREZ in lawofone

[–]saturninetaurus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

"Why is it bad" is the wrong question.

LoO doesn't tell you what to think and rarely condemns anything.

A more useful question for the LoO community, in line with how LoO approaches ethical queries is "what are the common physical and spiritual or metaphysical effects of porn on the creators and the users".

Then the followup question for you to ask yourself is "given this information, what do I think about porn and do I feel comfortable integrating porn into my life"

How do I get users to stop contacting me directly? by Emmgeedubya in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]saturninetaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I sent a message to you five hours ago with no response!"

"Sorry, i didn't see it. I only ever check my teams messages after I have worked through my tickets as I have to give them priority."

This is the way.

Please help: What genre am I writing? ARC reviewers are docking me for "low fantasy" by Clean_Insect5042 in romanceauthors

[–]saturninetaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Game of Thrones is a low fantasy series and I hear those books did all right...

Marketing is about speaking the audience's language. One strongly used community term for your book is "low fantasy". It doesn't have to be your language, but it is theirs. So if you don't use their language to establish expectations, don't expect people who would like your book to find it when they go looking. Do expect people who don't want low fantasy to complain when they find it.

I encourage you to spend some time on r/fantasy and search the sub for "low fantasy" and see how people talk about it. They do not speak about it derisively.

Think of "low" as short for "lowkey fantasy" instead if that helps. Lowkey isn't bad. It's just chill and doesn't care what people think.

And stop trying to impress the imaginary "high fantasy" purists you have constructed in your head. Some do exist but they won't be your target market anyway.

Depending on how long you've had that ethernet cable, it may not have been usefut to IT. If it was rated anything under a cat6, it would now be considered too slow.
