SOme of them even business owners in the past... well over 40-50 years of age n so on and certainly bright even without comparing to other local (black) orcs. I'd actually be happy working with em you know.. like i said - i worked into their good books and they are almost the only sane convo i get.. | [08:43] |

| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-09-07 21:29:21 lobbes: Sure I know that some of my family would be "mortified" to hear me call my late father a "coward".

| diana_coman: | http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-07-Sep-2019#1001541 - the main point is that sharing brings only benefits for you, although it seems counterintuitive, I know; the main perceived "downsides" are all and entirely to do in fact with *other people's shortcomings* and absolutely nothing to do with the one who tells the truth (sure, if you don't tell the truth then and only then, you're shooting yourself in the foot) | [08:52] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-09-07 21:29:34 lobbes: Likewise, I felt like I perhaps shared *too* much even after my post on exploring the bdsm lifestyle (to even the audience of tmsr lol). But as time has passed I know that I have these things to reflect on for my OWN benefit if anything. But again, I can only offer my own perspective here; I'm not your teacher after-all, just another student if anything | [08:52] |

| diana_coman: | you can ride the pain, you can ignore the pain, you can follow or back away from the pain; attacking it though...how does that even work? | [08:59] |

| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-09-07 22:45:12 shrysr: the closest i guess i came to graphics was with my masters thesis... using a software called sculptor - they used something called arbitrary shape deformation (ASD) and NURBS to deform geometries i.e meshes and create quick variations of geometry instead of completely remeshing for each change. i used to find meshing very challenging...kindda hated that part of the whole process, then slowly became | [09:01] |

| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-09-07 23:43:27 shrysr: pocket money (eventually). I guess eulora does that? I've played games like age of empires and sim city - but here the difference is that it is based on bitcoin? | [09:11] |

| diana_coman: | shrysr: "I | [09:28] |
| diana_coman: | would not like any of them to think" -> why? | [09:28] |
| diana_coman: | whenever you find something "I would not like...", the route deeper is to ask: why? | [09:29] |
| diana_coman: | for that matter when "I would very much like..." | [09:29] |
| diana_coman: | a good placed "why" does wonders too. | [09:30] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: I'm not sure exactly what is the difference you make between "published per se" and available at a link on your blog. | [09:31] |
| diana_coman: | I'm not saying that you should necessarily put it as a post, no; just point out that the difference you seem to make is... not much of a difference really. | [09:32] |
| diana_coman: | fwiw "coward" does not apply to the situation you describe there; it's simply that you obviously (and painfully at the time, I'm sure, but *still*) had way too much sense to do that. | [09:35] |
| diana_coman: | to fully qualify it: too much sense to do it for *that* specific reason. | [09:35] |
| diana_coman: | re definitions there, I know those you refer to but I don't think they are worth much. | [09:40] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: ftr, what you call "demons" in 8th grade sound more like... teenaged, intelligent, naive, inexperienced and fully male, what. | [09:49] |
| diana_coman: | "for no mistake on my part" - you mean there in fact "for nothing that I would admit/consider/ever thought of as a mistake on my part"; I know very well what you mean (I didn't do them any harm/did not get in their way/similar) but at the very least you miscalculated/failed to evaluate correctly the people you lived among (or the importance of paying attention to them too, not only to your studies). | [09:59] |

| diana_coman: | most probably there were, yes; and even more likely, you were too inexperienced (possibly she was too) to figure out what she actually needed | [10:03] |
| diana_coman: | "It is not to be inferred that it is a land of heathen idiots" - no danger of such "inferrence" at all; but do note that there's no reason you should care about "such inference" really. | [10:04] |
| diana_coman: | and fwiw, I hope you did get to listen to as many stories as your father would tell you. | [10:05] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: btw, the account is actually quite cool in many ways, I hope you realise that. | [10:06] |
| shrysr: | oh yeah! i guess they were a lot more ruthless back then or somethin. His uni was wayyy down south. premier, top 3 in india whatever... i have envied his friends so many times. intelligent if not brilliant folx... all having almost no money. its like they were all a different class altogether. | [10:07] |
| shrysr: | the nature of the ragging was different.... down south - they'd screw northies. reverse of what i experienced basically. general difference was that he / we are from the south, so i guess he was kindda on the other side and not really on the receiving end. | [10:09] |
| diana_coman: | they... were a different class; as in: a different generation and it matters. | [10:10] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: basically in the whole account, the only problems are that you have terribly poor references (esp literary, wtf didn't they ever teach you any literature?) | [10:15] |
| diana_coman: | and the idealism (though it's kind of a given for most teenagers, so pretty much expected) | [10:17] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: "I'm not sure any of the above helps" - you answer that one too; look back to all the times you "opened up"/"shared too much" in here and tell me: did it do you harm? did it do nothing at all? did it help? | [10:19] |

| shrysr: | extent to which i 'let myself go' over the girl and then how i recovered...

| shrysr: | there was an instant 180 flip.. atleast the anger suddenly vanished enitrely. The anger started resurfacing in a different form when i entered slavery about 4 months after that incident. everything else is pretty much openly discussed and shared, including critique of faults. I guess the truth is i think I betrayed their trust and don't like my answers as to why. | [10:52] |
| diana_coman: | shrysr: the past is to learn from, not to hide/avoid really; if you need to, apologize to them/make amends as needed (and certainly tell them clearly that it's nothing to do with what they did or didn't do) but *move on*; and I mean this esp with respect to reference point: literally, for as long as you maintain as reference point your parents, you are not an adult. | [11:00] |
| shrysr: | though there are still some internal barriers that i'm working on w.r.t sharing and publishing - i dont think i shared too much and i dont feel embarassed sharing here, or rather i have come to trust in the last weeks that nobody here wd 'judge' in a ... idk -- the way others do without 'sense' for lack of a better word...stupidity/stubborn idiocy has a price, but being honest - does not have the | [11:03] |
