  • Do you have self empathy?

    Jump

  • Well said. Particularly

    out of a distaste for a harsh and cruel world

    I want to respond (with agreement) to:

    treat others as you want to be treated,"

    • is, indeed silly. It's meant as an overly simple default to grow from.

    Treat others as they ask to be treated is much better.

    But I do believe that both benefit from an intentional practice of self-empathy.

  • I have to constantly remind myself to treat me like I treat others.

    I do, as well.

    I treat others. I despise myself and have great empathy for others

    I said that to myself before, as well.

    But I discovered my empathy for others became surprisingly more effective after I started an intentional practice of self-empathy.

    but that's certainly not universal

    Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.

  • The golden rule does not work. What if I like to be treated like shit?

    Agreed. But it is a good default place to we start.

    The real skill is empathy - to understand how the other person wants to be treated.

    My empathy for others became much more effective after I started practicing empathy for myself.

    It was a bit eye opening, to me, to realize how much impact a practice of self-empathy made in my relationships.

    Jump

  • Lots of folks replying don't seem believe in self empathy.

    That makes me sad.

    Self empathy is the foundation of empathy toward others.

    The golden rule - treat others as I want to be treated - only really became effective, for my friends, after I learned to treat myself well.

    Jump

  • Is self empathy distinct from self pity?

    Absolutely.

    Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.

    Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.

  • I find myself in this debate amongst friends and family regularly

    Jump

  • What if my pain made me a worse version of myself?

    Then we would restore from backup, right?

  • The Trek Place

    Jump

  • This is such a perfect use of this meme format.

  • Are transporters the fountain of youth?

    Jump

  • O'Brien won't be sharing that secret with anyone. Not even Keiko.

  • I don't understand some people

    Jump

  • That is pretty sad, but I think she and he were both right to respect the impact she had by staying in the role.

    The most iconic science fiction crew of all time will forever include a prominent impressive black woman. Nichelle made that happen, through her performances.

  • Who did you hate the most?

    Jump

  • If Avenue 5 gets Red Dwarf revived, I will buy two or three box set collections to celebrate. Canceling Avenue 5 was a crime.

  • Who did you hate the most?

    Jump

  • Spike was what Neelix shoulda been and it's hilarious.

    Yes! All the resourcefulness, without the childishness.

    Jump

  • I was going to say, the ending kind of reads two ways, if you know Wil's average D20 roll. Haha.

  • Give yourselves a round of applause 🖖

    Jump

  • Hey, thanks! You too!

  • I'm with McCoy here

    Jump

  • And it was a reliable, proven technology that apparently only got worse and more twitchy a couple of decades later.

    I assume the subtext was that it was a reliable proven technology being operated, in his option, by an incompetent idiot too young to be trusted.

    Which is as good an explanation as any for the other transporter scene...

    Jump

  • I imagine a decent amount of Riker is spread across the atmosphere any time he beams through a storm cloud. I assume Enterprise D has spare Riker bits stores somewhere to fill in any gaps.

  • If nothing else, I will say it's been a long road...

    Jump

  • Has your dad watched classic trek recently? Its mostly woke.

    Or like...ever. haha.

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • I don't fit into any of these....yet

    Can I interest you in Linux Mint, today?

    I am joking.

    Unless you want to try Linux, in which case let me (or any of us) know....

  • Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting
