The core issue for me wasn’t the boundary itself, but rather the tone and delivery, which read as passive aggressive and a bit accusatory for something that had never been brought up before.

I mean, I like to believe I wouldn't respond like this to people I care about, but I definitely feel irrational and cranky sometimes when I've just been woken up. If this were a person who I value I think I'd give them benefit of the doubt and prioritize not escalating. I think if you had waited until he woke up later to express your annoyance the discussion may have gone better. Easily possible there is context in your relationship that's not written here, but without that context this comes across as someone generally annoyed at being woken up and then getting annoyed with you personally only after that's received as a personal attack. I think this is a situation where voicing your hurt right this instant is a show of disrespect, I can't picture an outcome to it other than escalating. It upset you, you don't and shouldn't need to let it slide, but you should wait until after he wakes up to start that discussion.

This is a false flag to associate criticism of Tesla with redditors.

Thanks for allowing me to continue pretending I have a sense of humor, you're a real one for that.

This doesn't read like ignorance to me. Like a lawyer prompting a witness, this seems like someone asking the questions that allow the interviewee to give the most effective replies.

I can't read the "reply was devastating" line as being personally devastating to an ignorant journalist, because someone in that position didn't need to write that and put it on show. Instead I read it as being devastating to the naive sentiment, perhaps held by the reader, that Vietnam's only legitimate response was to run to the UN.

Thanks, I got this impression reading it too but I wasn't going to investigate myself so straight to the comments in hopes that someone has already validated my intuition.

I feel like over the past few years I've seen a hundred different comics by this author and I have never once gotten the joke.

I kind of feel like if my child died as a direct result of my own stupidity and negligence I probably would find a way to remain in denial over that too. Maybe not for forever, but I don't think I'd be capable of facing that right after.

Not sure if that says something bad about me.

Did the Gexposter just lose interest? I remember Mary Worthposting started like a full ten days later and then all of a sudden Mary Worth is catching and passing Gex.

Absolutely loved those games. I never played all the way through 2, but I beat the first game, including wobblewok and milked 3 for more playtime than anyone should reasonably put into any videogame. I am still mourning the loss of ykw3 pvp. It was almost dead for basically the full run, but it was such good shit that I'd just hop on and leave it searching for a battle and do something else and usually someone else would get on an hour or so later. Might have been the most fun I've had playing any game. I hit S+ but was stuck there for the last couple years before nintendo shut down the pvp. I almost 100%ed that game, the only things I couldn't get done were getting to S++ on ranked battles, getting the last orignyan voice that was a prize for reaching S++, and getting the trophy for finding pandanoko or starry noko in the VIP room (very rare streetpass, almost impossible to get legitimately without living in downtown Tokyo to be nearby a lot of people who have the game).

Here's the hexbear post I made on yo-kai a year ago.

I loved how weird Hazy Lane was, amazing feature. I think the infinite tunnel in 2 was essentially the same thing, but I never did much of that one.

Also one time I was trying to look up how a game mechanic worked and I stumbled on a twitter post that was like five months old about being really impressed with a creative strategy someone used in pvp and they gave a screenshot of my profile and finding that might be the biggest high I've ever gotten from a video game.

I'm 13/15 on my posts being objectively bad.

No idea what the count is, but Tervell's record for hexbear posts with no engagement will never be topped. I swear it's been years where if I see a post that's been up more than a couple hours with 0 comments or just one comment and it's the video bot, there's like a 90% chance it's him. Just looking now, he has more posts with zero engagement in the past four days than all the posts, engagement or not, that I've made over the the five years I've had an account here. Absolute GOAT.

Gonna be honest they did the person woman man camera tv test with me when I was in the hospital with sepsis a couple months ago and I only remembered three of the words at the end, I couldn't get the last two even with reminder hints. Oh well, we can't all have the best brain.

I was almost positive op had some form of "he'll conclude vaccines are the cause" under the spoiler.

I think they're essentially the same thing. I don't really have a process for what order to work in, just intuition for what will be the least friction. If it were big enough numbers I'd probably go through a second time in a different order of addition to double-check.

It's just weird that I've done a lot of math and never really thought about that process. That's why you'd ideally want any math below precalc to be taught by someone with a math education degree rather than someone who just has a math degree. When you've used the concepts you're teaching with enough regulatity that they're second nature, you have very poor intuition for which concepts will trip up someone learning for the first time.
