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.
so what’s the fucking point?
I’ve heard that covering up abhorrent crimes takes special amounts of money.
But maybe they’ll release the Epstein files any day now to prove that rumor wrong, and we can all relax.
Did you try being born ultra rich? I’ve heard it helps. I wish someone told me sooner.
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.
YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.
I’ve heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it’s wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.
Nebula is great.
It’s pretty funny to watch a quick “check out our extended content on Nebula” video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)
It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.
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.
