Q: How should I apologise for making someone feel bad for something that wasn't their fault?

I recently met a girl on a night out when we were both quite drunk, and, having liked her I began texting her every now and then. After a few days, we decided to go out for some coffee. Now, when we met up I realised pretty much instantly that I wasn't really attracted to her at all (i.e. I don...

@El'endiaStarman well If I broke it thrice, I fixed it at least twice.

03:02

Why else would I be here? ;)

I'm happy to break things. Then I fix it.

El'endia Starman

Of course, the question now is: did you fix it thrice?

Journeyman Geek

Don't be silly. I'm up to 4 times now

Which is perfect. I have the tooling and knowledge to fix it easily if I do it again

not sure I will.

El'endia Starman

Impressive. So, is that 4 or 5 bricks, 4 fixes?

Journeyman Geek

03:23

yup

4 bricks 4 fixes

I think I can root it sucessfully now but meh ;p

The only think I need to root it for is hacky daydream support

but that's not zat critical

El'endia Starman

What is it that you're trying to do in the end?

Journeyman Geek

Oh, its a spare phone. Apparently you can edit a property file to enable daydream support (so I can use my other spare phone as a remote)

my 3d headset has no button... (and for some reason google dosen't think using the headset buttons as a button is smart for some reason)

on the other hand I jerryrigged a magnetic button that mostly works so...

El'endia Starman

Using one phone to push buttons remotely on another phone that's running some VR app, huh? Neat.

Journeyman Geek

oh the problem is you need one of the few phones that support google's 'second gen' VR

some OP3 firmware will happily support it if you edit a file

@El'endiaStarman developers.google.com/vr/daydream/controller-emulator

and I have the perfect phone for that - the unihertz jelly

So now, in theory if I unlock the bootloader, flash in a patched bootloader and install magisk - I MAY be able to edit the build prop file and have a faux daydream compatible device

(or I can spend a few dollars and buy a BT controller)

Q: How can I have healthy friendships with other high achievers?

I've struggled with insecurity and low self-worth for a long time. Growing up, I was often the top of my class in school, most well spoken, best dressed, etc.. I've continued to be a high achiever. But even though I have a lot to be proud of, hearing about other people's accomplishments and hap...

How do tell your aunt that she made an honest mistake by buying something that isn't vegan? tag: eating, family, France TL;DR My aunt bought some houmous thinking it was vegan when it wasn't. How do I tell her she made a mistake without upsetting her? Background The other day, I was at a fam...

avazula

09:54

@Noon your question is interesting but I think it's gonna be very difficult for it not to end up on HNQ and get similarly-shaped answers to what you already got on your last question (i.e. people critiquing your lifestyle rather than actually trying to answer the question)

It'd likely bring a few valuable answers as well though. What I'm trying to say is that I hope you're aware you might get called names for "being that demanding" towards your aunt. If you're okay with it, then I'm glad and I hope you'll get nice contributions :)

Tinkeringbell

10:12

@avazula I gave it my personal edit :)

Noon

@Tinkeringbell, @avazula, Thanks for the edits and feedback! I'm stil a little bit unsure about the title. Any thought on that?

Tinkeringbell

I'd make it a 'communicate to someone they made an honest mistake' or something.

Noon

Something like this: "How do tell someone that they made an honest mistake without upsetting them?"

Tinkeringbell

@Noon Take a look ;)

Noon

@Tinkeringbell Nice, thanks :)

Tinkeringbell

10:29

@Noon You're welcome!

Noon

Nice, I already have a down-vote on my sandbox question and no explanation as to why ><

Tinkeringbell

@Noon "Oh, it's the vegan again":P

Noon

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, probably that X)

I was thinking of self-answering my question with a solution that involves my little sister (in clear: me asking her to do all the interpersonal stuff). 1) Is that consider an interpersonal solution and 2) Is that a good idea?

(I'm talking about self-answering my question, not if it's a good idea to ask my sister to do that)

DDD

10:51

Hi

Noon

11:02

Hello DDD :)

Tinkeringbell

@Noon Self-answering is always encouraged, but... did that solution work for you? Have you tried it? Is it expertise or just an idea?

Noon

@Tinkeringbell It's an idea (but we often use each other to pass someone a message) and I have the justification to why using this technic could work (my sister is neutral and if I'm not in the room my aunt won't fear my immediate reaction)

Tinkeringbell

11:21

I'm personally not a big fan of ideas as answers... it goes a bit against what a subjective stack exchange site should be...

Noon

Alright, I probably won't use it then (or only if I don't have satisfying answers after a few days)

avazula

11:43

@Tinkeringbell I like it :)

I have a genuine question for you @Noon

Please do not take any offense in it haha

What's most important to you? To have genuine, valuable answers to your question or to post it on IPS?

I'm asking because i feel like you may have very interesting contributions through other ways

For instance, I just re-read the tour on Vegetarianism.SE and it feels like such a question would be on topic. Biggest plus: people and answerers wouldn't question your lifestyle choices

Biggest drawback: this stack does not have much activity

Noon

@avazula Is it really on topic there? It doesn't feel this way to me (after reading the Tour and the help center).

@avazula Yeah, it's a nice way to put it...

avazula

I thought it would fit in the "questions related to the vgr/vgl lifestyle" category ... but I may be understanding it wrong here. Do you want me to ask on their meta? I don't think they have a sandbox in there

Noon

@avazula If you have enought reputation for it, I would appreciate it :)

avazula

@Noon I think I have (bonus rep). I'll see first in they don't have an official chat in which I could ask :)

Noon

12:00

@avazula There chat is kind of sad, not active at all :/

avazula

@Noon Mah. Indeed it's not ... like a lot of chatrooms on SE...

I need to reread your question but I think I actually might give you some advice (I've been veg for 12 years now, so ...)

Heh, I'm confused. Why did you link to your previous question and not the one you want to ask now?

Noon

@avazula Because I might ask it which mean the link with die

avazula

@Noon Huh, and since the goal is similar, you'd get enough info and see if you could still post it in there if you don't get what you want here.

Noon

This way, even if someone come see in one week, they might still be able to answer me

avazula

@Noon okay :)

Do you want my piece of advice on your issue? (I also commented your sandbox post and pointed out what I think is missing from it)

Noon

12:09

@avazula Sure :)

avazula

@Noon I think it's gonna be difficult for you to directly approach the issue with your aunt, as you're not the one who saw the ingredients list. Your sister could be seen as the teller, "la cafteuse", and your aunt may not like it (especially since you say that she's a very sensitive person).

Noon

@avazula That's why I was thinking that my sister could point this out to my aunt in the future when I'm not in the room (cf: self-answer discussion that I had with Tink)

avazula

Telling her directly could really deteriorate your relationship with your aunt, especially since she made efforts to try to meet you in your choices. Because of this, I can only think of indirect ways to make her understand. For instance, next time you share a meal all together, you may say "I'll bring some cake/dips/crackers to share" and then say: "I thought I'd miss cheese but this is delicious even more"

@Noon Mmh. I see what you mean, I'd personally not go for it (because of how your aunt could consider your sister after she points out her mistakes whereas she's not even involved by these choices). But I think it may be an IPS solution, indeed :)

Noon

@avazula I absolutly agree with the undirect approch. I was also thinking of telling here something like: "Rhhaa, did you knew that sometime they put cheese in houmous!" (Ça c'est moi qui rale, I have no idea how to say this in English)

avazula

@Noon That's also a great way to put it!

I think the most important thing is not to directly tell your aunt she made a mistake (you'd hurt her feelings, according to the description you made of her) and this is a great way to make her realize she didn't notice the cheese in it. Of course, if she asks you why you're not eating the hummus, then you should tell her, in a nice way that expresses your appreciation of her efforts to respect your decisiosn.

Noon

12:23

@avazula Thanks ^^ The problem is for the timing, it's hard to bring this up before the meal and also hard to bring this up at all.

avazula

I get that. It must have been hard. How did it went? Did you have a chance to let her know?

Noon

@avazula Nop, I didn't tell her anything but I'm worry she might buy the same exact houmous next time (without even checking since she knows that it's vegan :/ )

avazula

@Noon Did you had enough to eat when she brought the hummus the first time or was she expecting it to be the main part of your meal?

Noon

@avazula In response of idea to put the "why" in the TL;DR, here is what Tinkeringbell said (in another comment under my sandbox question): "Kept the 'don't have her do it again' out of the question part, just in the 'problem' paragraph, that way your concerns are there but hopefully people won't focus on 'making aunt do something' and instead helping you with communicating. "

@avazula The hummus was only for the appetizer, so it wasn't a big deal

avazula

@Noon Oh, okay. I get it. I was only focusing on the fact that people may not understand why it was a mistake, but this is more important.

I think this would make a great question, but I'm also afraid of the contributions you'll get :/

Otherwise, I think you're good to go with what you already have, keeping in mind people will ask for a lot of details both because of the topic and the crowd it'll attract

Noon

12:36

@avazula I'm thinking of posting it and not come to IPS for a full day so that community can do a bit of clean-up when I'm not here :P (but I probably won't do that because I'm way too curious)

@ExtrovertedMainMan This one feels like creative writing to me.

@apaul I almost want to point out that the OP's brother is painted as a poor innocent man led astray by an evil woman, vindicated from any responsibility, in this story

but it wouldnt be very constructive

This is my best effort at explaining what I think should happen with this post to OP

>Thats important info to include and should be edited in. While editing, please consider what backstory is truly important to your question. If you are asking about how to talk to your brother and sister-in-law about paying their kids more attention, do we actually need all the background of their relationships, affairs, drug use? Extra information will often muddle an effort to create a good answer and attract poor quality answers trying to address things unrelated to your intent.

how much effort should be put into this question though?

its not about a specific interaction

its super clearly a "How do I?"

and frankly none of OPs business

apaul

@spiralsucculent Seems like either a fabrication, or a hit piece written as more of a "She's awful, am I right?" I wouldn't put any effort into it.
