Sciaphobia

Could you see how I might perceive that reply to have failed to engage with anything I said?

Some extra context for those who have not played: PoE2 does not hold your hand. When I was learning the game that fight killed me too. But I wasn't claiming to be one of the best players, (I'd still describe myself as bad) and that same fight can't even hit me now.

An example that could have come right out of a psychology textbook. Well done.

Not entirely accurate. He died to the tutorial fight first. The guy who is supposedly one of the best players in the world.

I have no idea how that is anything like saying common sense is common. That did not address what I said. Someone has failed in some aspect of this communication. Since it may have been me, I'll try rephrasing.

Do you talk to people you are not romantically interested in sometimes? Are you able to generally guess whether they would be receptive to interacting or not? Could you conceivably guess if a person waiting in a waiting room might be open to chat, versus wants to be left alone?

The point I was driving at is people often behave as though interacting with those they are sexually attracted to is different. While it can be in some ways, the way you can identify whether someone you're not sexually attracted to would like to interact can be used with those you are sexually attracted to as well. It's not mind reading.

If you cannot do these things with people you are not sexually attracted to either, that's a skill that can be developed, and the issue is not an inability to read women's (I'm guessing) minds.

That's not reading minds though. What was being described are social skills you very likely already have, but are used to applying to non romantic interactions with men.

Technically it is separate, but I would suggest it is very related.

Due process is not getting provided to deportees. We already know for a fact one of the people sent shouldn't have been, and no attempts to rectify the issue are being made.

The message that was being sent even before that, but more so now, seems clear to me. That message is that anyone can be disappeared, for any reason, and it doesn't matter if the person in question did anything wrong.

That's why I was suggesting poking this particular badger is unwise, citizen or not.

My perspective is from the USA. Here you would pretty much have to be willfully ignorant of the leash laws that are near ubiquitous to not know you should have them leashed whether you know why or not.

Is it different in the UK?

They aren't the one that need to hear it.

I would argue you're never going to be treated with more respect by a company than during the interview process. Once you're on the payroll you have an incentive to tolerate objectionable treatment. If a company is willing to be this audacious in the interview stage I would have little hope of it getting better in that regard.

Not to a US citizen.

Good luck arguing THAT point from the El Salvador concentration camp.

It seems to be necessary that they both be personally affected, and recognize that, for them to start caring.
