Q: How to deal with conflict when I agree with and sympathize with both parties

Background Life hasn't always treated my brother well and prior to and leading up to his birthday he kept insisting that he really wanted item X and was very excited about it. He very carefully told my parents exactly what he wanted and provided a link to the exact product well before his birth...

Whoa, is it morning time over there already? Time zones are weird!

Jarko Dubbeldam

that's how it works

Yeah, haha, just failed to do the math. :-)

6:21 AM

@TheTinyMan Entirely too early

get up when it's dark outside, come home from work when it's dark outside.

Dark all day every day :/

All season or all year, @Magisch? :o It's way past my bedtime though ... night, guys! ^.^

7:38 AM

@Magisch Yeah, this season is hard :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

Mhmm, maybe it is time to whip out the brightlight

@JarkoDubbeldam I need one of those lamps they use for reptiles and baby chickens...

Jarko Dubbeldam

those are pretty easy to get by tbh

@JarkoDubbeldam I know :P I'm just to lazy to start remodeling the bedroom... :P

Anyways, I'm awake now (just barely)....

It's funny btw how many people assume I'm my brothers brother, instead of a sister :P

Especially not buying expensive lightbulbs.

@JarkoDubbeldam Hmm.... I'm always sceptical about that. I agree that low sunlight levels might lead to low vitamin D and laziness.... but I wouldn't do anything about it unless a physician said it's really necessary.

Jarko Dubbeldam

I got this from my mother, who used it to help with her severe depression

@JarkoDubbeldam Yeah, that's like a genuine medical reason to buy one..

Jarko Dubbeldam

And I do notice a difference. In my student's room, I only had a window on the north side.

That sucks bigtime in the winter

I just have a bit too much people in my environment complaining about a 'winterdip'...

@JarkoDubbeldam True... you know what works? walks :D

Jarko Dubbeldam

because even when the sun is up, it's still dark in the room

I guess

7:48 AM

We're not meant to stay inside the entire day.... we need the (sun)light

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Tinkeringbell Winterdips are a real thing though

although generally they tend to kick in in January

@Tinkeringbell If I recall correctly, her work paid for one there as well

@JarkoDubbeldam Yeah.... But these people aren't talking severe depression, they are talking 'feeling a little less energy than in summer'. That can be fixed by a few walks ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

true

Have you ever heard of Dysthymia?

At least, that's what I know a winterdip to be... otherwise, it's just called a depression. And yes, light will very well help then...

@JarkoDubbeldam I just googled it.... it's supposed to be a depression, but lasting longer?

Jarko Dubbeldam

True, but there is a significant effect of seasons on depression too

The way my psychiatrist explained it was that you can think of happiness as a scale, from positive to negative

If you're way negative, you're depressed, and if you're really happy, you're on the positive scale

If you suffer from depression, it is entirely possible to have episodes of happiness. So you're kinda ranging from very negative to slightly positive

Ranging from very negative to very positive would be manic depression, or bipolar disorder

7:55 AM

I get it.... ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

OTOH, Dystymia causes you to be pretty steady and stable. Only a few small drops or lifts. But pretty much constantly negative.

slightly negative, to be sure

but negative nonetheless

So in this context, a winterdip may be very real.

@JarkoDubbeldam Agreed. Just don't go buying expensive lights and supplements because 'you have a self-diagnosed winterdip'.... Maybe they work, but it would be the same as me buying a scoot-mobile because it's fun to ride and I get less tired using it so it must work...

Jarko Dubbeldam

lel

I hate people that self-diagnose... often they don't have any other problem then 'aanstelleritus'.... and I know it hurts people that do have genuine problems.

Jarko Dubbeldam

I do have (non-self-diagnosed) dysthymia though

8:00 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam Then you can use as many lights as you want :D

Jarko Dubbeldam

And otherwise I'll just go sit in my snake's terrarium

get in a bit of zonnebank

@JarkoDubbeldam Lovely :D The temp is probably better in there as well ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

A bit crampy though

lol

120x50x60 or 60x40x40

I would almost say that I'd fit in the 120 one, but it's a bit low indeed :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

I also have one of 180x60x60 but that one doesn't have lamps yet. And still needs to be cleaned a bit

not even sure if I'd fit in that one though

8:05 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam Easy peasy :P

Just install the lamps, crawl into it and start cleaning :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

uh, if I'd fit, I wouldn't have any room to move though

Even better, that would give you an excuse to not clean :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

There is a reason it has to be cleaned though

Okay.... then clean it first :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

I bought it second hand, and there was quite a potent urine smell from the previous animals that were kept in there

Soooo.....

8:07 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam Yuk....

Jarko Dubbeldam

Nothing a bit of Biotex can't fix though

@JarkoDubbeldam Hah, biotex can fix everything ;)

Just like ductape ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

Only thing I don't think I have ever used Biotex for is cleaning clothes

@JarkoDubbeldam I did ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

Oh dear

Flappie on the radio

8:13 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam It's that time of year again huh.... Skyradio has been playing 'Sinterklaas, wie kent hem niet' for a week now. I think that will at least have stopped today :D

Jarko Dubbeldam

Heh, we shied away from Sky because of the constant playing of xmas music

@JarkoDubbeldam mmmm... that's true. I don't mind it though :-P

Jarko Dubbeldam

If anything, it's annoying because it is a very limited set of songs, so a lot of repetition

@Tinkeringbell Rule #0 of migrating: don't migrate crap.

@Mithrandir I wasn't thinking of migrating... more of recommending improvements and have them post a new one over at a good site.

It's POB if it moves to an appropriate site.

Yeah, seems too POB to work on SE at the moment.

So, better kill it here.

Q: Startups Stack Exchange will be closing on December 11th

3 years ago, this site made it into public beta, as announced here. It was not without some level of trepidation - Startups had previously been on the network and resulted in closure due to the lack of any remaining moderation hands on the site resulting in its quality dropping. So it was stated ...

Mhm. A day isn't so bad.

I raised my concern at that time.

9:25 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam A day isn't worse than a spam lingering around the site for more than 4 days.

@Mithrandir There's more questions and voting going on there: More high rep users ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

9:30 AM

The thing that worries me is that the three top users are the moderators

Hmm, BCG should be renamed to MagicSE though :/

@JarkoDubbeldam number 2 & 3 rep wise on Literature are the two mods...

Jarko Dubbeldam

I'm not saying mods can't be top users, or top users can't be mods

(look at PPCG or CV for example)

But it looks like a lack of voting/traffic, if after 6 years the highest rep is 8k

Jarko Dubbeldam

yep

cant find anything explicit on them in the design threads on meta

Do CMs lose downvote privileges once their rep falls below 1? Apparently they maintain the privilege even while they lose the usual 125 rep required to vote down.

user image

Perfect! :D

@NVZ They have a diamond... I think they can do whatever they like.

(As long as it's within the boundaries of what's acceptable when you have a diamond)

@NVZ But it makes me curious where you found the evidence for that, since generally you can't see who downvotes?

They can do everything except for answering protected questions.

@Tinkeringbell Just go to any CMs profile summary on IPS. You can see vote counts, but not the actual posts they voted on.

@Mithrandir Yea, and that's a funny restriction. They can unprotect, answer, and then re-protect.

@NVZ Oh duh.... I'm in desperate need of more coffee :P I'm overlooking obvious things. Luckily I'm just writing documentation and making powerpoint slides today.

Or I might just end up writing a dailyWTF if I try coding in this state :P

Anyway, @NVZ are you still on holiday? Or back at work?

@Tinkeringbell An example, our RC's page shows 8 up, 71 down, even though he does not have the 125 minimum required for that usually. interpersonal.stackexchange.com/users/3/…

@Tinkeringbell holidays over. had fun swimming for hours, and now im having a cold.

back to work as well.

10:31 AM

@NVZ Ugh... everybody seems to have been having colds lately. Stay away from me!

@JarkoDubbeldam this thing looks awesome for ppcg. any idea how i can get it to work on other SEs?

But swimming is fun :) Did you swim at a pool or a river, pond, sea?

user image

And... it's ruined :( :P

@Tinkeringbell sea, one day at the dubai beach, and another at mid-sea several meters away from shore via boat, not in dubai.

@Tinkeringbell what is this about?

@NVZ Nice :-) How is it to swim away from shore..... ? I never dare to go to far into the sea

@NVZ It was at a perfect 10.000 a few minutes :P

But I flagged/downvoted an answer as NAA, that got deleted so now I got my rep point back... and it's ruined :P

@Tinkeringbell it's fun now. but i hope that day doesn't come where you get attached to rep. stay tinkering, bell.

10:35 AM

@NVZ Oh, I'm not attached to it... but I've got some thing going for round numbers ;)

Ask my bank account :P

@Tinkeringbell i had a smooth curve on my ips rep. but now there's a stupid dip all of a sudden because you along with yours truly and etcetera deleted some old upvoted questions where i had answers. :P

@NVZ I'm sorry? I think we've slowed that down again though...

@Tinkeringbell i had a smiley face at the end, in case you didn't notice. :)

and yours truly means myself.

@NVZ I did :) Just felt like yeah, that's a stupid side effect...

@NVZ Ohh...

I thought you meant my gang :P

i am your gang.

aren't i?

10:41 AM

@NVZ Everyone is welcome to join the gang :P

we're the delete squad. lol

@Tinkeringbell everyone, with the rep, that is. :P

There's a Dutch song: Ik heb een clubje opgericht, voor mensen met een lelijk gezicht, je mag erbij, je mag erbij :P

Freely translated: I started a group for people with ugly faces, you're welcome to join, you're welcome to join ...

@NVZ Hahaha, yeah, welcome to the delete squad :P Now, we need to pick a uniform ;)

Anyways, the song is from a funny theater piece, and it still crosses my mind whenever people talk about ganging up :P

well, that was fun, but got more language than I expected

@Tinkeringbell another one faced the wrath of the delete squad; interpersonal.stackexchange.com/a/7684/345

@Mithrandir Oh I read that story... It's a good one :D

@NVZ Yeah, that's the one that ruined my round number :P

10:46 AM

took me around 3 minutes to read the whole thing ;) Yeah it's an interesting story

@Tinkeringbell well, wait. the internet says there's a connotation that "the delete squad" refers to those big multinational companies that opresses freedom of speech. weird.

how about some other names?

@NVZ Hahaha, how about we keep it a secret organisation? Otherwise people will start complaining that we're too organized :P

@Tinkeringbell i prefer organised crime over chaos and confusion any day. call me DON. :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

@NVZ not sure. Never developed such userscripts before.

Maybe ask Downgoat or anyone on userscripts.SE

@NVZ Hahaha, but organised crime can turn out bad when the police find out. Then, they'll roll up the entire network. So it's better to go rogue. If you get caught, I can still roam free! :P

10:52 AM

@JarkoDubbeldam *StackApps.com

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Tinkeringbell ah, but you miss the point. the police are the the don's payroll. :P

I am not Japanese but I usually speak in Japanese with everyone, because it is the language I use all day long at work. At the register of a convenience store, I usually say a few words like カードでお願いします (by card please) or 袋なしでお願いします (no plastic bag please). What language should I use when the c...

language japan racial-issues customer-interactions shopping

@ExtrovertedMainMan that's a good one, i think.

@NVZ I don't like it... It lacks some information for me...

That's @Mithrandir's Google Code mentor right?

yes

@Tinkeringbell interesting. i look at it and i see a strategy, pros, cons, and a reference as well. it's a nice first revision at least.

Oh, it's a nice first revision... but I'm missing 'Do you live in Japan, what's your native language, is this supermarket in Japan etc. in the question...'

Basically, some of the information is provided in the self-answer, that IMO should have been in the question...

11:10 AM

although I finished that task

@Mithrandir Okay, that was :P

@Tinkeringbell it has the japan tag.

That implies that yes, he lives in Japan, yes, this is taking place in Japan.

@Mithrandir True... still.... It's itching... there's something that I can't really put my finger on but .... it feels of somehow.

Maybe it's the 'Should I'.... in the question?

Or it's the self-answer providing what he's doing now...

I know! It's that there's no feedback on whether or not what he's doing now is considered a problem by others :/

It's like 'I'm currently doing this and this and this... .but there isn't really any indication of that being a problem... it's one of those 'please confirm I'm right' questions...

@Tinkeringbell he's actually looking for feedback, in that he's out there expecting the votes to confirm or deny usefulness of his methods.

It's describing a problem that the OP had - or, at least, a dilemma - and provides the decision that they eventually ended up making.

So they had the question, which is now in the question body.

11:15 AM

@NVZ Doesn't that make it a polling question? ... I dunno, I haven't been around that long... I just never saw a question structured like this ..

@Mithrandir yeah, and i think that's a good thing he asked it here.

I recently shared a blog post I had written to a relevant subreddit. I've posted to this subreddit a few times and got good responses.

online-interaction approach

@Tinkeringbell i don't see a cause for polls here.

How is it a polling question?

It's asking what he should do - which language should he speak?

Just because he provides a self-answer with his decision doesn't make it a poll.

11:17 AM

anyone here from skeptics SE?

I have a question there, but not much other activity. Why?

what if i ask something along the lines of "does drinking cold water or eating ice cream increase chances for common cold?"

You'd need to provide a 'notable' source tht is making that claim.

obviously cold is caused by viruses, but does drinking cold stuff decrease our shileds against such viruses?

@Mithrandir yea, and does Quora posts count as notable?

Well, I can tell you off the top of my head that lowered temperatures make it difficult for the immune system to work - that's why you get a fever, to raise the temperature and make it easier for your immune system to work.

@NVZ have a link?

11:20 AM

@Mithrandir yes, that. my lifelong experience says that whenever i indulge in cold water swimming or ice cream, i get the sore throat or running nose.

just picked one at random, i read two conflicting answers, each upvoted 20+. quora.com/…

*shrugs* It might work. I'm not familiar enough with their guidelines to say for sure, though.

@NicolasRaoul no idea about that, i have.

11:23 AM

@Mithrandir Don't know, I was asking you guys that :P

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُم

good afternoon

Goeiemiddag :)

@Tinkeringbell what? you mentioned "polling" first. :P

@NVZ Yeah, because you said it was supposed to be decided by voting... that sounded a bit like polling, so I asked.

11:25 AM

@Tinkeringbell well, all of SE is a poll in that case. the votes decide whose Qs and As are the winners.

If it was someone else answering, not a self-answer, would you consider it differently?

The fact that there's a self-answer shouldn't make it a poll.

@NVZ Definitely not... Otherwise interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/3097/… would have ended up accepted :P

@Mithrandir Self-answers are highly encouraged.

@NVZ Indeed.

@Mithrandir If there wasn't, I would probably be firing away questions in the comments like 'what have you tried already and how did people react to it'

11:26 AM

is a question like this: "is it socially acceptable to try to change the subject in a conversation" too subjective? I thought about asking it but realized I could get some subjective answers

@Tinkeringbell so that's useful info to include in the question anyway.

@Tinkeringbell acceptance is not democratic.

@Mithrandir Okay, so I was right when my spidey senses started tingling :P But putting it in there would probably leave the answer with almost nothing?

Thanks for the feedback!
I edited my question accordingly, but there is still one thing I have not addressed because I am not sure how to fix it, which is the "it's one of those 'please confirm I'm right' questions" comment.

@NicolasRaoul that comment was probably prompted by the fact that it's a self-answer.

11:29 AM

@Mithrandir @NicolasRaoul Yeah, disregard that... :)

This is a question that I genuinely have.
At first I just wrote the question without any intent to post an answer.
But writing the question prompted me to weight the pros and cons, and decide on a strategy I would try from now on.

@NicolasRaoul i donno about that. i for one for all my posts implicitly ask the community to "please confirm whether i'm right". lol

@NicolasRaoul yes, that's good ;)

since most of our subjects are subjective, there's no authoritative one "correct" answer. i just post an answer from off the top of my head and wait for community voting to tell me i'm wrong or right.

only thing i make sure to do in my answers is to be nice.

@NicolasRaoul It looks like a good question. But if the answer weren't there, I would have written a comment asking 'what have you tried AND how did people react to it'... But the 'what have you tried' is already in the answer... How did people react to it though?

Q: Housemates and personal property

Summary A housemate of mine is doing something to my property which I don't like. Please help me in finding a solution towards the greater issue of solving housemate disputes. Some mornings, a housemate of mine likes to prepare smoothies in her blender. Next to her blender are my coffee grinder...

conflict-aversion conflicts roommates housemates

All answers are "please confirm whether i'm right" indeed haha.
I have to say I often post Q/As. Especially on StackOverflow, after I spend an hour trying to fix a bug, I usually post a Q/A describing the problem and how I solved it. Two benefits: 1) Sometimes someone suggests a better solution 2) Future me might stumble on the same problem in a few years. Actually I often find a question on Google that fits exactly what I want to solve, and when I click it I see my picture in the question haha

Hahaha. That's awesome :P

@NicolasRaoul That's funny :D

I just write things down in a notebook :/

@NicolasRaoul happened to me once similarly. and another instance was on searching for the meaning of "covfefeying" on Google.

Posting self answers is definitely explicitly encouraged by SE. But it can be difficult to remember to include all information in the question, same as you would for any other question.

11:37 AM

@Tinkeringbell: I thought about doing this. But a problem I have seen when doing so is that it focuses the question on my viewpoint, and leads potential answerers to make assumptions that are not in the question. Also, sometimes I am totally wrong and the question gets downvoted instead of what would have been an answer.

@NicolasRaoul true, very true. if you had added those "what i tried" in the question body, perhaps the votes would be split - some would be for the question, some for the proposed solution.

that is why i like meta posts to keep questions and suggested solutions separately.

@NVZ Hmmm....

I think I got it...

So, we have questions asking about advice 'after' they have already tried X, Y, and Z

And we have this one.... which is 'what should I do' .... and the answer is 'I've tried X and it seems to work so far'?

Do I have that straight? my brain hurts now

12:04 PM

Can anybody take another look at my question? https://interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/7661/1599 I thought I made it pretty clear I'm not looking for 'what to say to him' but 'how to tell him what I want to tell him (my concerns for his safety, that he should realize parents are giving him responsibilty and he better live up to it to avoid having them revoked)...

But I'm getting answers that are telling me more 'what to say': https://interpersonal.stackexchange.com/a/7703/1599 (and most other answers are bordering on telling me what to say/address as well...)

@Mithrandir Exactly. Might be due to RAM. Your phone is definitely able to load the picture though, so we are probably trying to load it in a memory-inefficient way.

I noticed that it took a while to load on the front page, as well - may be related.

If you want to me to test things, feel free to give me a ping at any time ;)

@Tinkeringbell I haven't asked it yet because I thought it would be too subjective

and on what circumstances

@Termatinator I think it falls under 'etiquette' (sort of). But I think that without a specific example it would be too broad.

@Termatinator It probably won't be a good idea to change topic when interviewing for a new job :P (bad example, but I needed something extreme)

On the other hand, if people are talking about things that make you uncomfortable, if done right IMO it's perfectly acceptable to change subject.

Mister Positive

@TheSnarkKnight We've narrowed it down to days. How is your day?

The Snark Knight

@Tinkeringbell finally started to get my blood sugar under control.

feels much better

Now stay away from chocolate and keep it that way ;)

I can imagine the improvement, I saw the change in an aunt when she found out she had diabetes and they got it under control

Mister Positive

@Tinkeringbell 19, how about you?

It was like she lost 10 years of age, a lot more energy, more fun to talk to

@MisterPositive Let's see... I think at least 20 :P

Mister Positive

ha

1:43 PM

@Tinkeringbell not for uncomfortable things, just things where I can't think of anything to say. so just changing the subject because you don't know what to say

The Snark Knight

@Tinkeringbell I don't like chocolate.

BLASPHEMY

Henry WH Hack v2.1

:O

@Termatinator Hmmm... when and how often does that happen? I get that sometimes when for example people are talking about having a disease/mental problem... Or when they tell me their parent died... Are we talking such things? Or things like science topics that you don't have knowledge enough of to join in the conversation?

Mister Positive

@TheSnarkKnight I would never admit that if I were you sir. ;-}

1:44 PM

@TheSnarkKnight That explains the snarkiness I guess.... I'm proposing force-feeding :P

@Tinkeringbell just regular topics, no serious issues

The Snark Knight

@Tinkeringbell maybe the fact that the only chocolate I will eat matches my nature, bitter.

@Termatinator Hmmm.... If you can include a specific example of such a regular topic, just mention it, then I think you can ask...

@TheSnarkKnight Hmmm... Nope, white chocolate it will have to be :P

in the netherlands we put chocolate on our bread

Mister Positive

@Termatinator I am going to try that! Kinda like a smore, but bread instead of cracker.

1:48 PM

@MisterPositive It's good, but the sprinkles are best :D

@Mithrandir I'm making myself hungry :P

Mister Positive

The Snark Knight

1:52 PM

(This one cheats a little, the top right one isn't chocolate)

@TheSnarkKnight This one is for you:

Extra bitter, it has a 60 percent cacao percentage :)

The Snark Knight
