People are so much more sad, and desparate, and lonely than you think. I have had three incidents in the last four months were a technician I was working with was being either dangerously unfocused (we work with high voltage), or just flat out angry with their coworkers, and every time when I just pulled them aside to say hey, this isn't you, you're nice, and you're competent, so something must be up - what can I do to help - they have responded by bursting into tears. One guy was struggling to get his wife moved into a care home, one guy just got served divorce papers, and the other hadn't slept a wink the night before because his daughter had the pukes.

I haven't spent my whole life responding to people being rude, or stupid, or dangerous with knee jerk compassion. It's a new habit. The first time I did that as the lead for my lab, it was because the guy genuinely was so good natured that I knew something had to be off. But the other two times were just me going, alright, lets see if it always goes this well, and so far, it has. I'm almost 30, and I just figured out that the #1 reason people are shitty are because they are going through shit.

I don't think you have, like, a moral obligation to respond to people being jerks with knee jerk compassion. But it has made my life so much easier the last four months that I would recommend trying. For your own sake. Please.

(I'll step off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Sunday.)

fyi was watching the news at my parents' house and the way he's being described by mainstream news outlets is as "someone who reached across the aisle to try to engage progressives in healthy debate" and it's absolutely imperative that we do not let him be remembered in this way. we are not going to revise history and pretend he has ever done anything other than lob logical fallacy after logical fallacy at a bunch of college kids so he can clip it into flashy videos for his youtube channel. he did not argue in good faith, he did not try to find common ground with liberals or lefties, he would sit in an auditorium for hours dodging questions or making ad hominem arguments or bringing up non sequiturs until his time was up. there was no intellectual engagement happening here. I think it was probably a fun debate exercise for the college students to be able to identify logical fallacies in action, but nothing of substance was being argued or discussed or acquiesced upon. his two goals were to make fun of libtards and to give young white men nazi talking points coated in a veneer of social acceptance.
