Don't feel guilty for saying no to Philips screws.

Torx till I die.

No. Like this ideology of putting yourself first is a bit stupid. you can't come up with univeral rules (at least ones that can be expressed in a small picture) for human interaction.

If you feel anxious but your family member needs a lift out of a sketchy party then yeah, you're a dick and should feel guilty for that. If you would have debilitating panic attacks while driving maybe not, but you're also shit if you don't call a taxi or something. We have obligations to each other. "we live in a society"

Maybe my post is a joke. Maybe you're a joke.

If they put themselves in that situation you have no obligation to help them. Not saying it isn't a good thing to do, but the idea it's an obligation to save someone from the consequences of their own decisions is whack. You're only obligation here is to make sure you don't create situations that are dangerous. If everyone followed that rule there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

whack. I usually only see that opinion in usaians and teenaged to early twenties boys who've never been in trouble and needed help.

What kind of thing do you even mean by a sketch party? Like a party where people do drugs or something? Been to plenty of those, they aren't inherently unsafe. Why wouldn't someone be able to call themselves a taxi? Not everyone can even drive in the first place. I certainly can't.

I'm something of a troll myself

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 months ago

I appreciate very much the little bit of trolling.

Sometimes daddy can't help himself.

What if I've been taking a break for 3 years?

Saying no: boring

Putting your mental health first: boring

A little bit of trolling: now we're cooking with gas

[–] python@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

Saying that is one thing, living it is another.

I'm feeling pretty shitty right now exactly because I'm putting myself first for the first time in 3 months. It sucks man, but being constantly drained and dead inside sucks too.

No guilt for own mistakes? Dunno bout that

I love the phrase “a little bit of trolling” so fucking much.
