I worry that 'compassion' is being redefined as 'never confronting or correcting anyone, no matter how disruptive and dangerous their behavior may be' - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:40 3 1
- Why do you say it would be 'more satisfying' and 'more effective'? - Trish Jun 11, 14:54
- I don't mind the confrontation. It's the "look at me, guys! i had the balls to *say* this!" that i find cute. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:42 1

Loosi, i'm not sure why you're so stuck on the "hearing" issue. - Stephen Jun 11, 14:29 27
- I'm sure it's not personal to me or anything. ;P - loosilu Jun 11, 14:31 22
  - If you were deaf and not aware of your surroundings, you deserve every comment possible - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:32 21
    - I thought his issue was that she was bitchy and didn't apologize after being made aware of the problem. -- nm - mara Jun 11, 14:35 4
      - oh, let's be honest. he'd been thinking up the comment as he was standing there. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:37
      - Yeah, offense at that point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:36 2
        
        So how you can blame loosi for objecting when you said "if you are deaf and unaware of your surroundings"? -- nm - mara Jun 11, 14:37 1
        
        Other than not having any factual support? - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:39
    - wow. it's really sad how many jerks there are in the world. -- nm - kare Jun 11, 14:32 15
      - Keep in mind that all of this opining is being filtered through a narrow aisle perspective. There are many situations where people who are saying - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:35 5
        
        wtf is a shreddie? -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:39 4

        haha! (faved) -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:42
      - honestly, kare, if you had a disability, wouldn't you learn to adjust? - Guy Jun 11, 14:35 4
        
        are you serious? what is "adjusting"? I should be totally understanding if someone is an ass to me because I can't hear? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:36 3
        
        huh? adjusting is learning to function in society to the best of your ability. wtf are you talking about? -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:38
        
        If you can't hear, you do learn to adapt. More looks around; yadda yadda. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:36 1
        
        that's exactly what I do, but I get the feeling some people are on a much shorter fuse than that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:38
      - we all share the world, if me pointing out that you're taking up more than your share is a jerk, - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:33 3
        
        you can do that without being a jerk yourself. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:34 2
        
        Gladly. However, you give me a dirty look, i'm returning fire. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:35

      - ah, ok. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:33

It's really funny how I know (with near certainty) that if the Cubs are losing and the opposing team puts LaTroy Hawkins in the game, we're going to - pmb Jun 11, 14:28
so, i realize this is going to sound even more preachy but it just reminds me of a story i heard recently - kare Jun 11, 14:26 20
- if the guy flipped him off, he was at least aware that he'd done something offensive. -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:37
- i have a story i never told here from when i was in the hospital and my dad was sick... - Andie Jun 11, 14:35 9
  - he should have handed you his card and said.... "if you need someone to talk to" -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:41 8
    - he should have left me alone when i clearly was not in the mood. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 14:42 7
      - She was probably a lesbian. (nm) - The guy's postgame thoughts Jun 11, 14:47
      - Critical Care Ward Crashers. -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 14:45 2
        
        heh, yeah, maybe he hangs around hospitals hitting on women in emotionally vulnerable moments. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 14:46
        
        "I feel terrible ... I'm horrible ... last night I crashed the morgue." -- nm - Owen Wilson Jun 11, 14:46
      - "But that dating book I read said to be assertive!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 14:43 2
        
        it was like that. like he'd just taken a course and decided to try out the technique on me or something. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 14:46 1
        
        maybe he was just really smitten by you and didnt want to 'let her slip away' - Guy Jun 11, 14:48
- Bad behavior can have extenuating circumstances. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be pointed out. - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:29 5
  - that's true. but it helped the guy realize that he didn't really have that much to be worked up about, see. the point is you never know what's going - kare Jun 11, 14:31 4
    - Asking the bad driver what his problem was, was probably the most compassionate thing the other guy could've done. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:32
    - this reminds me of Redmond and the food stamp lady. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:32 2
      - the utter lack of any sort of compassion makes me sad :( - kare Jun 11, 14:33 1
        
        me too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:34
- Hmm. Still a jerk. - Spawn Jun 11, 14:29 1
  - Yeah! Totally. A non-jerk would be with his daughter. - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:31

Do after just researching Bird's Flight I went with Mortar instead of steam giants - eag Jun 11, 14:25 10
- Steam Giants dude, mortars take a long time, a very long time, its like 30 days? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 11, 15:17
- I went to Bureaucracy after that, I was far along in economy and I really wanted that building spot. -- nm - Krusty Jun 11, 14:34 1
  - I dont have Bureaurcracy as an option yet -- nm - eag Jun 11, 14:39
- if you have the barracks level to build them? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 11, 14:32 2

    - well if you need the defence of the ports it's a good unit fully upgraded -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 11, 14:38
- *shrug* That's what I did. (nm) - musubi Jun 11, 14:28 2
  - I did the steam giants; then about a day from completion, I hit Change and Mortars instantly finished. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:29 1
    - After looking at all the ratios, and the costs of upgrades, steam giants can wait. - musubi Jun 11, 14:32
- So -- nm - eag Jun 11, 14:25

musubi, yes. - Andie Jun 11, 14:22 6
- It's weird, I know "theatre" and "centre", but somehow I never noticed it in metric measurements before. - musubi Jun 11, 14:24 1
  - a measurement device is spelled meter (gas meter, etc.) but the unit of measurement is metre, prob. because metric is really a French thing -- nm - zork Jun 11, 14:26

Sorry, but with that many people behind her, the woman needed a good talking to. Bravo Stephen! -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:22 12
- He should have tazered her. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 11, 14:28
- I agree. He should have stopped and talked like a man instead of taking a wuss-shot at an old lady as he walked by and then hid. - TFox Jun 11, 14:23 10
  - *smiles at your IM reference* -- nm - Jelly Jun 11, 14:44
  - How many people assumed she was an old lady? (nm) - Stephen Jun 11, 14:24 8
    - I actually imagined a rather large 30-ish woman. (nm) - musubi Jun 11, 14:26 3
      - You sir would be right! -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 14:30
      - I thought it was MFOX. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:29
      - ditto -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:27
    - I did not think so. I fully understand and appreciate the fact that we should not have to suffer useless people. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:26 2
      - The problem with suffering fools is that they remain fools; and you remain suffering. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:29 1 2

        You do know - eag Jun 11, 14:35
*gives B2 a withering look at being asked to move* -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:18 5
- when people do that i (try to) give them a big smile and say "thanks! don't you hate when you can't get by people?' - Andie Jun 11, 14:19 4
  - Yeah, generally the best revenge is being completely obsequious or unctuous with them. - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:22 3
    - I've done this with people on the subway as well - znufrii Jun 11, 14:26
    - ~ Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant ~ -- nm - Steve Vermin Jun 11, 14:26
