@AppleFanboy I think the etrain farted on it

@AppleFanboy Ah, the second most troubling. At least it wasn't military language and you don't have to "attack" a task, right?

@the_etrain Wait, is the server in that closet?

I might have an idea why you had that outage - superficial reasons nonewithstanding.

@CorvidCrone It shall forever remain a mystery why capitalists didn't think of paying children to do the homework.

I mean the condescending "i will trick you" non-solution is not surprising in itself, but not thinking of money is remarkably off-brand, i think.

@CorvidCrone No, any tests we had were free form (whatever the teacher found, i guess?) and always with content, not just for style/form.

The only similarly ugly thing was the wino music teacher that demanded we copy everything we write by hand at home. He got ignored right from the start.

@CorvidCrone I'm not sure what is done in schools (except driving underpaid teachers crazy, that should be the same here and there), but from what i remember german language lessons were interspersed with interpreting texts to a laughable degree somewhere in the middle at least.

Is that different in english lessons?

Anyways, filling out forms was way too practical, we learned nothing of the like.

@CorvidCrone On the other hand primary language teachers tend to interpret so much into texts that the meaning might be otherwise obscured.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Voll gemein, der wollte doch keine Empathie.

@OpenComputeDesign I take it "improving your stress levels" is meant as "elevate"?

@OpenComputeDesign It's like filling a shape perfectly to 99% and then drawing lines all over the place, amazing.

@OpenComputeDesign Good, good. Not doing that saves a ton of refactoring time.

@anders_produktiv Der alte key sollte weiter funktionieren.

@OpenComputeDesign Well my example wasn't chosen very well, but with a better example it becomes more powerful...

"I wish i could fly to Pluto and explore" is way better than trying to do it to make others notice.

And for the self-knowledge, thinking about this could lead to understanding underlying, more basic wishes - not useless!

@OpenComputeDesign They can help understanding oneself and communication with others.

Bit hard to make a pie so you can show someone that you wanted a pie. Better say "i wish i had a pie", right?

@OpenComputeDesign It seems like you ascribe some magical properties to wishing?
I do wish i had not been bullied in school, but i still want to keep the learnings i had from it. Not actually a contradiction, since i cannot change the past. More "dreaming of a nicer world", without accepting fake responsibility that nobody asked me to bear.

@OpenComputeDesign That just means most people are not ok, not that the guy was ok.

But it is too short a view, as i hear the guy had a lot more going on than just one bad comment, but many efforts to actively hurt people.

@DannyStaley fart :-)

@OpenComputeDesign I guess being able to let multiple things exist in your head at the same time is a useful ability for many things.

Can you imagine that a good day might exist, but not erase the regret of the past - merely push it to the side of your attention?

@elbast
Die Lösung des "Toleranzparadoxon" ist ja, dass es eine gesellschaftliche Grundvereinbarung gibt, und wer andere töten will entscheidet sich gegen diese.
Kann hier denke ich vergleichbar angewendet werden.
