I’ve also been posting less after managing to upset someone. We can have a club. The shy posters club.

Looks really good!

Chicken of the sea and waffles?

It’s para social. The person consuming it feels as though they are part of a relationship. EFIT: like TV but more interactive.

Limited cognitive empathy is teachable in many cases. It’s not so rare.

That’s ‘narcissistic man outing the depths of his denial’ levels of sad.

“And you ain’t in it!”

It does seem they’ll try to use his case as a deterrent to anyone thinking about following in his footsteps. I think they will be harsh and he’ll be made into a martyr. The religious imagery of Saint Luigi may be apt and more than just a meme.

There are many influences. One is pure resentment of elites as know-it-alls which propagandists amplify. A bit of Dunning–Kruger effect at the same time as people without specialized training can’t even comprehend what they don’t know. Another is how difficult it is to think probabilistically so that people can’t easily appreciate risk. And as more and more people proclaim conspiracy theories as truth there is peer pressure to confirm.

It’s fine to develop relationships at work and move them into “on good terms” territory if that is viable. It’s also fine if it is possible to move those viable work-friendships outside of the work environment to see if they can stand on their own. What is not smart however is to think that work-friendships are real friendships just because “we get along” at work. Most work friendships will drop you like a hot rock if you get fired. It’s important to be ready for that to happen even as you see what friendships might be viable.

The playing field is not equal so it isn’t reasonable to hold people to the same standard of making an impact.

Well, I didn’t know that. I meant no disrespect. I was working off what seemed to me to be a humorous superficial resemblance. Apologies.
