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.)
What if my pain made me a worse version of myself?
Then we would restore from backup, right?
O'Brien won't be sharing that secret with anyone. Not even Keiko.
If Avenue 5 gets Red Dwarf revived, I will buy two or three box set collections to celebrate. Canceling Avenue 5 was a crime.
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....
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....
I do, as well.
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.
Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.
