Hyperflexible person here. Get a better wrist :p

A null pointer exception is technically memory safe, you can get equivalent behavior with .unwrap() on an Option in Rust.

And network effects would ensure 95% of users stay on TikTok/YouTube/Instagram/…

Promise?

Biology, such as how much the body responds to hormones and how that destroys the idea of binary sex.

I get colder more easily now but my heat tolerance hasn’t changed :(

Sure

I hate to point to it because medicalization, but DID is widely recognized

Eldritch horror beyond mortal comprehension

Overwhelming emotions all the time that she cannot explain or process… the only answer she comes to is IDK.

Open-ended questions can be hard. Perhaps you can ask a series of simpler questions, such as “are you feeling good/bad/neutral/idk?” with follow ups for emotions like happy, sad, excited (can be good/bad/neutral), tired, etc. If you’re asking to gauge her response to something, consider asking something like “is this a good/bad/neutral/idk thing” and digging deeper into what aspects are good/bad; then you can ask about concrete plans like “should we seek/avoid that?” or “should I stop/continue that?” and elaborate further on how you should try to achieve those.

Of course, there is a risk of overwhelming her with questions, so you should probably monitor for symptoms and behaviors that indicate she’s getting more overwhelmed, or even just ask.

Jumping off of what you said: I feel a lot more comfortable when people are very clear and direct about expectations. I hate the feeling that I might be doing something wrong but I’m unsure.

People: hey you should think about this a bit and consider changing it to have a small positive impact

You: 🤬

Nobody’s forcing you to, nobody’s yelling at you, if you don’t do it it’s not a massive deal, you’re just yelling at clouds. Actually that’s not entirely true; I’m yelling at you because of your absurd overreaction to the mere idea of being a little thoughtful.

I don’t know if you got it from media, or you heard about this movement and for some reason immediately jumped to “they’re forcing us!”, but you really need to do some self reflection on why you got it so wrong and why you were so quick to do this outburst.

I see mostly people defending master starting arguments. I’ve never seen anyone pushing for main get even half as mad as some of the people coming up with a reason why it’s stupid. Like, holy shit guys, just don’t change it and move on, why be so mad about it?

To generalize: in general, defer to the person’s judgement. If they’re giving their real name or their dead name or whatever, assume they did their own tradeoff calculations using more info than you have access to and just go with it, but also be willing to change if they decide to change their decision.

sans undertale??

it is not is “it’sn’t”

Maybe you can tell them how they’re making you feel? It’s plausible they could be trying to accommodate you but in a way where they make bad assumptions rather than asking you. If so, maybe they’ll listen.

At the very least, even if asking burns the friendship even more, you’ll have some data to predict how someone might think in another/future friendship.

That doesn’t negate the good times. I remember when I struggled to make friends, and most of my “friends” weren’t really friends, but it was still better than nothing.

My type of person! Same!
