I have to constantly remind myself to treat me like I treat others.
I do, as well.
I treat others. I despise myself and have great empathy for others
I said that to myself before, as well.
But I discovered my empathy for others became surprisingly more effective after I started an intentional practice of self-empathy.
but that’s certainly not universal
Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.
The golden rule does not work. What if I like to be treated like shit?
Agreed. But it is a good default place to we start.
The real skill is empathy - to understand how the other person wants to be treated.
My empathy for others became much more effective after I started practicing empathy for myself.
It was a bit eye opening, to me, to realize how much impact a practice of self-empathy made in my relationships.
Lots of folks replying don’t seem believe in self empathy.
That makes me sad.
Self empathy is the foundation of empathy toward others.
The golden rule - treat others as I want to be treated - only really became effective, for my friends, after I learned to treat myself well.
Is self empathy distinct from self pity?
Absolutely.
Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.
Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.
Pay your IT staff a fair market wage, folks.
(There’s no upper bound on the cost of cheaping out on IT support.)
Did you try being born ultra rich? I’ve heard it helps. I wish someone told me sooner.
That’s pretty funny, and a delightful invitation to check out your comment history.
Sadly, while I hoped to find a hilarious misunderstanding with She-Ra shippers, what I found was a habit of commenting with unusually combatative language. :(
Good luck with the She-Ra shippers, anyway.
I don’t fit into any of these…yet
Can I interest you in Linux Mint, today?
I am joking.
Unless you want to try Linux, in which case let me (or any of us) know…
Imagine what she can accomplish in an echo chamber, though.
this is a premium device
Paired with…
Doesn’t support SteamOS
Hmm…
Because buyers of premium devices famously have time to screw around with installers and OSes that aren’t their first choice…
I assume the logic is “every game runs on Windows”, but I feel like they understimated how sticky SteamOS is for folks who have tried it.
I experience so much more playing, and less fucking around, on my SteamDeck, than I did on my Windows gaming PC.
What language is the CLI written in?
Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.
I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.
@retrolemmy username…hm…
This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.
I’ll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.
I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.
This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:
If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.
Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.
- what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?
Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.
What about stocks?
Better sell some.
Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?
Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.
But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.
innocent wompra
I’ve always assumed that womp rats, being roughly 2 meters long, were intended as a kind of R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) and are presumably equally aggressive and dangerous.
I realize it’s a stretch, but it’s been stuck in my head canon since I first saw Star Wars.
they say it’s worth it
Narrator: They did not.
Well said. Particularly
I want to respond (with agreement) to:
Treat others as they ask to be treated is much better.
But I do believe that both benefit from an intentional practice of self-empathy.
