Every time you interact with someone you should give them a base level of respect. How they respond determines the amount of respect you continue to proceed with.
It’s also not an equal trade, so no one gets it wrong. Not treating someone with respect won’t get them to respect you, but treating someone with respect won’t necessarily get them to respect you, either.
For any young autists that needed it spelled out. Keywords being “treat them with a base level of respect.”

Quotes are often used around a word when it's similar enough to another word to be understood.
Paywalled means you must have an account and pay in order to view an article.
There is no equivalent word that comes to mind for this, but "paywalled" is so close as to be misunderstood only if you're trying to do so -- you must now have an account and login in order to view what's behind the login wall.
Nigel Farage, a prominent Brexiteer and broadcaster, claimed that his bank accounts have been closed without given reason, suggesting serious political persecution at the highest level....
The truth is at the end of the article. Banks are refusing because he has additional costs attached to himself. This is his ego coming back to bite him. Farage said that this could make him leave the UK. He also said that he would leave if BREXIT was a disaster.
Now you have two reasons Farage, are you gone yet?
I don’t know how else to describe it, but all my male friends and family are very unemotional.

Get your bloods tested. I was very sensitive to everything and finally a doctor thought to test my levels of everything related to anxiety/depression/mood. Found out I had extremely low testosterone (less than half the bottom average number) and higher estrogen than I should have. After starting TRT I'm like a new person. I can actually handle things now.
Abortion rights activists were unhappy with the president’s comments, as millions of people are being denied access to abortion care in nearly half the country.
And it doesn't really matter if a cis man is "big on abortion" because these laws will never affect him and his body.
I'm pro-choice but I've heard this and many similar things said and it's such a ridiculous thing to say.
"It doesn't really matter what you think about inhumane treatment for XYZ medical condition because you're not a doctor and you don't have that condition"
"It doesn't matter what you think about banning this important subset of knowledge in K-12 education because you've already aged out"
Believe it or not, things can affect you even if they're not directly happening to you. People don't exist in a vacuum.
Disregarding someone's opinion has never once changed someone's opinion.
The guy is trolling people. That's not how any of the LLMs write, AND what they do say when presented with a prompt of questionable ethics is "as an AI language model" not "as an AI language program."
No service uses the word program in that prompt response.
It shouldn't need to be said but people are daft so I'll say it anyway: I support the protests, hope reddit dies, and fuck spez.
I wouldn't expect him to lol. Every time I watch one of his videos, I'm reminded of one of The Onion News Network's greatest creations: The Autistic Reporter.
Note: Whether Rossman is on the spectrum (I assume so) I'm not throwing shade at all. He's a powerhouse.
Sure. Just like he was with Tesla, which was never going to succeed, or if it did, be a niche market. Or like his even crazier idea to start a private orbital launch company.
Like one prominent investor said about Elon in general, I wouldn't invest in Twitter but I wouldn't bet against Elon either.
"Stealing ideas" isn't a thing. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Prototypes are much rarer. The even more difficult part is taking things and mass manufacturing them in a way that people can afford and also want.
There's no scam to manufacturing a million cars a year. Nor is SpaceX remotely a scam.
No matter how much of a dick he is on Twitter it doesn't mean he is stupid and can't build and organize companies that work really, really well. Nothing about doing that depends on someone being a "good" or likeable person.
I don't worship anyone. But I don't make up reality just to fit with my beliefs about how things should be according to my ideology.
How are you able to see what's going on at Twitter? Do you work there in a position where you have a decent overview of the company?
And sure, he might totally run Twitter into the ground. Like I said, I wouldn't put money into the company. But it's about where every other company he has run was, so I wouldn't bet against his success there either.
The idea that if he fails at making Twitter a success means he is an idiot and Tesla and SpaceX are a fluke are delusional though.
You mean invested in it. Then took over as CEO when the board voted the former CEO out because he was spending everything they had without getting close to producing a car they could manufacture.
Telsa never produced any cars until Musk was running it.
The continued success under his leadership for the ramp ups for the Model S and and full on ramp up to mass manufacturing the Model 3 kind of demonstrates that. To say nothing of Spacex.
\What did Eberhard do after Tesla again?
Saying he did nothing of consequence at SpaceX would be claiming that everyone who worked with him there is flat out lying. People don't talk smack about their former employers even if they don't like them or think they are idiots.. But they don't make an effort to praise their abilities in that case either. I'm thinking it is more likely that you aren't exactly in a position to know more than they do.
Twitter would be the only mature company with any previous success that he actually ever bought into and the only one he did not build from the ground up. Eberhard building a crap foundation that needed a lot of rebuilding doesn't count.
I know you don't want any of this to be true because he's a dick. But the world isn't a Hollywood movie where the bad guys get what you think they deserve and only the nice people are brilliant.
I hate Elon as a person as much as the next guy, but I'm sad to see Lemmy users with the same inability for emotional override as the average redditor. How this has downvotes is beyond me.
A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all....
There needs to be a levels system instead of a letters system.
NSF(W)1: you wouldn't look at it in front of your boss in a corporate setting. Anything slightly risque in nature.
NSF(W)2: Written graphic text
NSF(W)3: Maybe a nip slip, or an African tribeswoman in native dress
NSF(W)4: Some intermediary step here
NSF(W)5: Nudes, porn, etc.
NSF(L)1: Fight footage with mild-medium violence
NSF(L)2: Death
NSF(L)3: Graphic death. Gore. Beheadings. Etc.
They don't even need to be in order, but there should be a classification system. Once the classification system is implemented, we can set classifications to view/not view in our settings.
