I mean that there are few ways to channel anger productively within this co ntext.

Then maybe the lesson to be learned is how to channel it elsewhere in your life.

Solving solutions hurts you. Doing nothing kills you.

I get incredibly angry when I fail at something. Particularly with myself, or perhaps others involved, but that doesn’t mean I just try to destroy it all on the spot because I came up short.

The answer to anger does not need to be “direct it only at the thing causing it”.

Well that's the thing. If I'm angry about something at work, I can channel that and work to fix it.

In that way, it can be used correctively. In this case, getting angry at blatant injustice...and then what?

And maybe you're onto something five, seven and two. I'll hit the gym.

I guess my knee-jerk is to work to fix the problem directly. One can't really do that in this context. Look at all the good that has done for MRAs.

The hardest loss I ever took was a practice boxing match. 4 rounds, 3 minutes each. Guy really got me, I mean *really* got me early on and I was punch drunk but on my feet. Lost by a point. Dude was an asshole, too, hyper sore winner, gloated, I had a problem with him for weeks.

Some times, no amount of rage can be channeled to “fix” the thing that caused it. He left the gym two weeks later (he was juicing, shocker) and I had to figure out how to cope with no Round 2, no resolution, no way to earn my pride back.

Something about the whole situation really stuck in my craw and I drove myself to a sprained wrist training. So I’m not sure what the vent will be for you; could be the gym, could be building ships in a bottle, for all I know.

But that anger’s like a full gas can. You’re stuck with it and you can either burn it off or light the whole fucker up in one go. But it doesn’t go away without being burned up.

That's a lot to consider.

Thanks for taking the time to type up all of that.

I’ve got the time now, just listening to offshore support struggle with a development issue. <:lolz:480186121897377792>

LOL

Glad we have a least one place like this. It's sort of a funny thought. I mean having a place strictly for men to share their thoughts.

I hope you stick around, Five, Sever and Two. And the rest of these dudes, too.

By offshore support, you mean engrish speaking hindi's?

Lmao

@Rhunespire Yes, exactly.

Nailed it.

@DeliriumT I dip in and out; been a roller coaster recently, but trying to stick here a bit more.

Missed you guys, all told.

Aww we missed you too buddy. Lol

@Rhunespire I’m understanding maybe 35% of what they say. The gist seems to be all my production shit is up and good, but a Windows update nuked their server and I’ve never heard 10 people struggle so hard to rebuild a virtual instance.

“Offshore saves money, though.”

Good work Hermit and mods. Let's hope discord doesnt go the way of basically every other social media platform.

Dont you just reset and reload?

@Rhunespire How dare you suggest that. What are you, anti-diversity? Reee!

@DeliriumT We can build new stuff on the run, if it comes to it.

But I'm right aren't I?

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up needing to do just that

*Who hurt you?* (Yes, you are.)

Nailed it! 2 for 2

I’d rather have you here, we’d probably be done by now.

Bruh!

I think you and I would make a great team

I'm not certified, but I know some stuff from tinkering and taking a few college courses.

Not certified, either. No college.

Nani?!

Still know how to rebuild a VMware server. There’s a fucking UI with buttons that walk you through it.

F1

is your friend

You’re asking automatons to operate outside their logic rails. If it’s not in the script they have right in front of them, it doesn’t exist.

I... really wish that was more of an insult than a statement of reality...

omg
