Oh nice! I don’t wear any necklaces or similar jewelry, but I’ll keep that in mind.

Okay thank God I’m not insane hahah. I’m over here like, man I’m in tech support, surely I’m just not that bad with Nvidia drivers 😂😂

You know, this may be it hah.

And similarly, someone can point out that someone else’s opinion is vile and based on shit reasoning without some hypocrite spazzing out ;)

I’d suggest the back of a closet door or similar!

This is essentially my idea as well. Hang em by the clasps. Even without permanently affixing something, a few quick-assembled rods with hooks, held in place with a suitable amount of command strips or similar no-damage hanger.

I’d rig up some kind of hanging solution. Hang them from the clasps in a row on like, the back of a closet door or something.

Well at least you didn’t call my body pasty white, I haven’t been to the lake as much as I wanted this year.

Joking aside, I believe vsauce had a short about this, was useful to get a visual.

Take your fuckin upvote and go hahah

Sounds like you’re in a very rough spot at the moment. Keep going. I won’t promise you everything will be solved, but things will change, inevitably, and change could be better. Good luck.

Agreed! Good chat with you, I enjoy these kinds of conversations, at least with reasonable people hahah. Take care, friend.

I didn’t get any mockery from you directly, no. I have a bit of a sarcastic or overly dramatic flair from time to time, so I do apologize if it came across as aggravated or anything.

I think the most empathetic thing to do for all parties would be to repair the wall. Then no one has to relive this obvious mistake. I’m merely making a case for extending empathy rather than judgement.

For what its worth, yeah, you can be scared of someone who has broken a wall. People react to things differently, I’m not going to say you’re not allowed to, and would quite prefer everyone be treated with respect and empathy. Honestly, though- is having a terror response to a simple broken wall with no context ANY better than (this is from another comment in the thread, I know these aren’t your words) having an anger response to losing at fantasy football?

Edit: ooooh I did say let’s not extend mockery. That was directed at the meme in general, the building mgmt mocking the situation rather than just fixing it.

See, if anything, this comment should be framed and labeled toxic masculinity.

In an effort to extend as much charity and empathy possible, what makes you say that? In my experience, it’s not a hard and fast rule, the people who exploit those emotions are just shitty people. I’ve definitely felt that people were using my own sadness or other emotional vulnerabilities against me, and I’ve felt the opposite - love and support getting through those emotions. I tossed out the people who used me, and kept the ones around who supported me.

Edit: hahah, kinda foot in mouth here, I just realized you’re the guy who posted about Medicare and jobs earlier, and I kinda mocked you here. Imma leave this post as it stands, because I think it’s a good conversation starter. I’ll try to do better moving forward!

I feel you bud. Sometimes life just blindsides you and you need an outlet. I hope things improve for you soon.

Guys point is, we don’t know the why. We only know the what. Sure, I think everyone can agree it’s not the healthiest coping, but I don’t know too many people who choose the healthy option in a state of extreme emotion. Is there ANY scenario you could imagine this being understandable, even if not good or healthy? Lots of people listing scenarios where I could TOTALLY see getting a rather reasonable person into such a mental state.

I’d say taking it out on a toilet stall would fall into at least attempting to not scare someone. Unless you’re like, terrified of property damage you probably didn’t witness happen. It’s a wall in a secluded place designed for privacy. I can EASILY picture a scenario where someone receives bad news, goes to the bathroom to have their mental break in relative privacy, and slams their fist into the wall a bit harder than intended. This looks like one hit to me, so it’s not like they’re sitting there hammering away at the wall. That plaster is EASY to put a hole in. Life is messy, people are generally trying their best, no one got hurt, let’s extend empathy rather than mockery.

No, punching signals anger. Anger doesn’t have to be dangerous - for instance punching a wall, or the floor. Emotions are normal, we don’t always deal with them in the most optimal manner, but I wouldn’t label someone beating up the floor because he just found out he was NOT the father as “dangerous”.

Yeah, that’s pretty basic. I seem to recall the option to even search by OS/GPU being fairly hidden, but again, probably just misremembering.

The uncertainty principle is a fantastic example! I don’t necessarily disagree that these unknowables are largely irrelevant to every day life. They’re the minutiae that help an individual understand their ‘place’ in the vastness of the universe, but they don’t really tell us anything about the things that… Well, matter.

The biggest thing I think my world view has helped me with is, if I can accept some things are just inherently outside of my grasp as an individual, I don’t have to try to justify or explain why we’re here. We just are. Whatever the reason, let’s make it the best time we can. It lets me focus on things that matter to me. And, for you, the thing that matters is resolving all of those things as logically as possible.

And, as far as scripture goes, there are myriad interpretations for the meanings of the actual words written in the scriptures, at least Christian ones. They’ve gone through so many translations, rewrites, omissions, and blatant changes. It’s… Well, unknowable what the original intentions of the authors were, but what we see now, the scriptures used to preach hate, are absolutely the result of millennia of people in places of power pushing agendas. Blind faith in something like a church is exactly what I meant when I said that about faith making you do something you wouldn’t otherwise. Fuck that, form your own opinions on the things that matter, don’t just take the ones from someone who swears they want the best for you.

I’ve done that before, yes, but I seem to recall it being a lot of hoops to go through. Could be misremembering it, as well though.
