I'm doing well. It is a delight being able to have a carefully crafted conversation with a fellow man that doesn't devolve into ad hominem.

What does these level messages mean? I just leveled up for some reason

just chat activity

Ok, thanks

You gain xp for talking

@Xychotic. That is often the issue I face

What is tactful and what is being my true self.

In the exchange I pointer her to ask for someone else's resources or to hit up the library or other olace for public WIFI. I also told her that sonce its a replacement phone that she should activate the phone service she pays to get a network connection.

She wouldn't leave so I relented to turn my phone into a hot spot for a bit

I just cut it off about 1.5 hrs after the ask

I waa told she needed to send an email to her kids and to help prepare for her leaving this job.

Still, I see where I fell in making her problems to be my problems

This is a good time to use the phrase 'I would love to help you out, but I am really busy now'

I feel kinda stupid for not having thought of that too

Other than that you have it spot on already

Thanks, I think that phrase would have helped me out if I had inserted it and still retained my tact

@Jack Mehoff You practically have that tactfulness settles already

Using the phrase 'I am busy right now' is a very tactful way of saying 'No'

'I have to think about it' is useful too

Kinda leaves it open though, having to think about it

Yup. Never make a reason why you are busy either, you will end up having a lengthy discussion why what you are doing is more important

This goes for both males and females

Information: I am limiting the upload speed of various torrents to ensure I can upload files to the seedbox faster, what this means is that in the short term you will not be able to download from the torrents as quickly, this will change once the files are on the seedbox and seeded from there (at which point the seeding taking place on the seedbox will be a lot faster than my own connection).

That is the point of the phrase 'I have to think about it'. You never get around to think about it, another way of saying 'No'

@Xychotic my dude. that was autistic af just sayin

he basically said just dont give in and say no. and your acting like he said. bitch slap her

and also if just saying "no" is gonna get you in trouble at yoru job. ***its time to find a new job***

Way to go @shadowlessnexus, I completely agree with you

You ever wake up wishing you didn't?

@[chase dreams] Mescalin?

Sure. Whatever the fuck that is

When I wake up 4 am and have to go for a piss, I am wishing that would not have to happen

4AM's a reasonable time to wake up.

It is, but not when you have been drinking until 2 am

It is when your sleeping schedule is dogshit like mine.

You are not alone mate

i get up at 6 ish

i sorta turned from a night owl into an early bird

@shadowlessnexus Really, so did I. Except when I am staying out drinking until 2 am.

Sup guys?!

Good to be on Hermits server! 😄
