>You can keep supporting it. if we were hanging out IRL I would clock you (unhappily, regretfully) as someone supporting supremacy.
Let me understand you - you would assume that the individual in question knows for certain how HOAs have been used against minority groups, and then you would physically attack them before asking them if they were even aware and trying to enlighten them to the issue?
Edit: And at the risk of pushing HN's guidelines, I'll point out that this is what you've put on your personal website:
>I value coherence, meaningfulness, compassion, and kindness.
One of these things is sure as hell not like the other. Yikes. Maybe go get some fresh air, bud...
Edit 2: And I say all this as someone who very much hates HOAs and will never own a home that is in one.
ooooh, not clock as 'hit' but clock as 'I would note this thing seems to be true about you, and it would lead to me thinking at least a little less of something about you."
That thing being "you operated inside of a HOA without noting the easy-to-encounter truth about how HOAs function/have functioned."
yeah, I'll update the wording in the original post.
Update: Wording updated. indeed, I value the things I said I value, I appreciate you pointing out the other common ways the word 'clock' is used. I normally don't use such loose language.
You're probably right about a walk - my co2 meter shows the current level in this room with an open window is 818 - pretty fine, but movement and sun is always nice. It's cloudy, but I was about to head away from my desk for the day anyway.
no, i think it is the right move, especially if it landed as such a provocative statement to dig around on the profile, and then THAT RESEARCH revealed such a contradictory impulse.
There are people who live like that, and the quick social shaming response is not a bad one. "you said you care about people {here}, and you are now behaving in a dehumanizing way. how interesting"
I simply used a word that means one thing to me, and I use it in spoken language often enough, but it happens to have an equally prominent alternative usage that means directly 'to hit'.
No apologies needed or received. I think apologies are useful for some mistakes, but in some cases, if it seemed like you're witnessing online bullying... I say keep on keeping on.
Me saying "i'd hit you in person if you said this" is straight-down-the-middle bullying. Me saying "I'd sadly think less of you, if you said this in person" is not bullying, IMO, so I say we're both right. how nice.
now i wanna take my frisbee for a walk in the local park but it's as bit too windy for good throwing... hm.
