That was what I was getting at

I don’t know, isn’t he some ultraliberal technobroligarch that would experiment on the poor under the guise of affordable healthcare ?

fucking hell, when you put it like that…

oh, I assumed it was a community for Dragon Ball Z fans.

Communities about Anarchism, Generative AI, Copylefts, Neurodivergence, Filesharing, and Free Software.

This sounds like me. Well, apart from the generative AI thing. Let’s see what the dominant stance on it is first

Fucking hell, even Satie ??

Well that’s certainly a good first step. I’d like to encourage you to consider yourself first, and every feeling you have as valid. YMMV but this is what helps me counter the otherwise instinctive fawning.

Do you manage to better “stand your ground” now that you’re aware of the fawning ?

If I understand correctly, fawning is people pleasing to an excess because you’re afraid of the potential response. I’ve had trouble saying “no” for a long ass time, and have been bending over backwards to accomodate other people, at my expense, completely disregarding my own comfort and preferences. I think that’s part of the same mechanic. I slowly realized other people mostly place their own needs first, and somehow find themselves legitimate when asking the other party to “meet them halfway”. So I’ve been trying to emulate this. Does this ring a bell to you ?
