Yeah it's a blatant "if I patch over this one thing people say was bad with a well-produced apology video surely everything will go back the way it was" when the problem, as a person on twitter I now can't re-find said, that the whole "posting a video of a dead body in a forest specifically gone to because of its association with suicide" thing is simply one manifestation of a darker underlying core which is absent empathy
Then again pewdiepie seems to be bouncing back from his ""heated gamer moment"" so this shit will probably stick as well
Unlike PewPieDie I'm getting a dumb vibe from Paul, rather than actively malicious. Too bad he's kind of screwed since his father and brother are severely bad influences, his entourage is a bunch of Yes Men and his fan base is less self aware than he is.
He pulled a lot of shit in Japan besides filming a dead body. To the point that even if he really is too dumb to figure out how shitty he's being, it doesn't matter.
This is true, but like I said, given what his status quo is he's never going to be able to have a true learning moment - ignorant can be educated with the proper environment evil cannot.
I miss Sal. Why did I know I couldn’t really feel things until I moved but was unable to do anything about it.
maybe after you get settled you can have her come up for a weekend?
now sure how comfortable you two would be about that.
Also dude Sea of Thieves is the truth
I don’t know if I should reach out to her. We cut off contact so she can get over me, basically. So I guess I made my depression bed.
So I know this is unsolicited advice but my two cents
Contact her, if in your heart of hearts, beyond your depression, you desire to contact her.
I know that sounds hallmarkish and trite but speaking as someone who maintained a wall of silence for two years after the girl he loved moved to San Antonio, if you love her call her, talk about it, work through it, and figure it out.
Otherwise if you do nothing you'll have a regret that will eat away at you for a very very long time. Forever, actually.

What’s your opinion on this larger discussion happening now about whether we can separate the art from the artist, be it XXXTentacion or Fela or Louis C.K. or Bill Cosby or whomever?
It takes me back to a story my grandmother told me about Jesus and Barabbas. Jesus is standing on one side, Barabbas is standing on the other side, and the people have to choose which one of them could go free. Some people started yelling, “Barabbas! Barabbas! Barabbas!” Then so many people were doing that that the others found safety in numbers, and they also started yelling, “Barabbas! Barabbas! Barabbas!” People walked up who didn’t even know what was going on and they also started yelling for Barabbas to go free. I always think about that. It’s so important to me.
I think I follow, but can you tell me more about how that parable applies here?
That I don’t want to get scared into not thinking for myself. I weigh everything. Even what you just asked me, I would have to really think about it and know the facts in each of those situations before I made a judgment. Because I love Bill Cosby, and I love what he’s done for the world. But if he’s sick, why would I be angry with him? The people who got hurt, I feel so bad for them. I want them to feel better, too. But sick people do evil things; hurt people hurt people. I know I could be crucified for saying that, because I’m supposed to be on the purple team or the green team. I’m not trying to rebel against what everybody’s saying, but maybe I want to measure it. Somebody will call me and ask me to come to a march because such and such got shot. In that situation I want to know what really happened. I’m not going to jump up and go march just because I’m green and the person who got shot is green. The rush to get mad doesn’t make sense to me.
Well, I agree that as a culture right now, we’re better at mobilizing out of a sense of injustice or anger than we are at figuring out what to do next.
People can be bad for certain things. They could be bad around children. They could be bad with power. Are those people all “bad”? Could be. Maybe they need to get kicked off the planet. I don’t know. Each thing is individual. There aren’t rules for how we can or should think about something. We don’t have to believe everything we’re hearing. At least I don’t think we do. I’m glad I don’t watch this stuff.
The news, you mean?
Everything. I read the description of an empath and I think I fit the description pretty well. It’s about absorbing people’s feelings.

I assume not, because it's a corporate laptop and pretty locked down
Plus I work off site a lot so that would involve deleting and restoring them multiple times a week which seems like kind of a pain
Googling suggests that the culprits may be either the recent file list having something in it that was loaded directly from a network drive, or possibly a misbehaving printer driver

Generally speaking, network drives can be deleted and recreated by the user, even on a managed corporate laptop.
This isn't a solution, more of a workaround.
I'd set up two scripts, one that deleted all of my network drives, then a second one that recreated then. I'd store them on my desktop and run them as needed.

Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering meme in each "eye" of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the memes are infinite in number. There hang the memes, glittering "like" stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these memes for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other memes in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the memes reflected in this one meme is also reflecting all the other memes, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.

This is going to seem stupid but I understand now.
I have googled it and it sounds like a pretty cool, inventive game.
I think it absolutely is.
I give the creators a lot of credit. The little bit of the "serious" part I experienced was a very raw, accurate representation of a particular situation, and I felt all the helplessness one would feel in that position. And I didn't even get to the "shock" part.
I just flat out cannot handle emotional investment in that story, both because of the general intensity of it, and because of its specific resemblance to the experience of someone very close to me in real life.

It's funny because i have been playing Stardew Valley and there was a thing churning around in my head of "what if there was a horror version of it which behaves normally until you stop playing for an extended period of time, where upon loading back in you return to an empty farmhouse, a ghost town where time has been passing in your absence with all the trappings of a 'you abanoned us and left us to rot' situation"
I think that would be deeply unsettling in a similar way
