I think that's fair and true so long as both parties can talk about it and come to an agreement and understanding.

I'm very confused by this statement. Does nobody in Belgium really go to bed before 10? If you knew your neighbor had to be up by 4am every day and had a child, and knew they had to go to bed by 8, would you not try to be nice if they were nice in kind?

I have not but I simpathise for you. I tried to word my reply to indicate that there were cases that didn't follow my rule of thumb... Cases like yours it makes sense to wake up... Frankly whenever.

I'm very confused as to how this is a reply to my comment when I didn't write the quoted comment and this does not appear to discuss my comment lol

I really think it is quite unfortunate how much grad/hex tainted communism. I'm not a communist, but I was open to good discussions about it, particularly because I know it's important to look at the flaws in your own systems.

Now? I'm scarred. I can't just assume a post js something posted by someone I could probably agree with after a discussion.

I assume something similar has happened to other users. It's unfortunately hard to grant someone the grace of assume they aren't a tankie when you know they're out there. I feel your pain and I'm sorry. I also don't know how any of us can change now.

Legit thank you.

I've wondered on the right way to do this in R.... Too many times.

Man, I was refering to one section of the video you linked me to didn't mean it to be a personal attack.

That's not what I learned from Stay Stay, DPRK! You clearly haven't done your homework.

For what its worth, my personal easiest-to-consume media is podcast (ideally in a form where its a proper conversation and ideas that are being presented are being challenged). Less about text-vs-video, more about time-i-have-free. Podcasts at least I can focus on while doing other activities.

This does feel like an interesting video to watch, though I'm about 5 minutes in from your start-point) and I may be a bit out of time. May get back to this at some point, but I sadly don't have the 80 minutes to finish it, much less the time to do the additional research required (since IMO a lecture by itself on a subject like this may simply take some things I disagree with as fact, rather than proving them to me)

Thank you lol it was genuinely nice to listen to while I was reading through what I had to read

I truly commend you for that. Wish I could - just realized I've talked to you a bit here already! I continue to wish you the best! For what its worth, it took me a half hour (some of which was while I should have been paying more attention to my baby....) to get through all related context.
