Q: How to politely decline friends/colleagues trying to persuade me to join a Friday after-work event?

Kawamoto TakeshiI’m part of a software development team and the people engagement team in our company. This week has been extremely exhausting with both of my development work and people engagement work being really demanding. I managed to work through those but I believe that I am already burned out. Due to thi...

 
@ExtrovertedMainMan dupe
 
@avazula I was just searching for it, but couldn't find it. This one was a HNQ not too long ago too!
 
@scohe001 idk about that one but there's a lot of very similar posts that would already help
 
Oh or that...I think there was one pretty recently about a guy who really didn't want to go out but all of his work buddies were begging him
 
@scohe001 Now that you're saying...
Erh. Can't find it. I guess it's not an exact dupe then
 
3:17 PM
@avazula same. I know it's almost definitely a dupe tho. Bummer.
 
Erh :(
 
3:43 PM
...wow. Did they really write that?
> A woman is going to have children, so their interest is WHO they are going to have them with. Men are not guaranteed to have children so they put on a display to try and earn that privilege with a woman.
...really?
 
@Mithrandir o_o
 
33 messages moved to Trash
 
@Mithrandir yikes
 
Idk under which reason to flag it
This needs to leave quickly
 
3:46 PM
Eh, NLN should be fine, or not constructive

Q: My girlfriend gets so mad when i spontaneously look at other girls or talk to stranger girls

ibrahimSo it's been 4 months since we started dating . I'm aware that she is insecure and jealous but it has been going worse since we started dating.At first she started complaining about me hanging out with my female friend so i gave up on that for the sake of our relationship. then she started gettin...

 
@Noon, grrrr, you were faster than me! :p
 
@avazula Ahah :D
 
I'd try to ask "how can I assure my girlfriend I'm not looking at other women" though, it's a bit more precise than "how to prevent my gf's jealousy"
 
You can always suggest that to OP :)
 
@Noon to add onto what Avazula's saying, especially for "what should I do?" questions, the key is they have no goal, which "how do I talk to her?" still kinda lacks. For next time ;)
 
4:20 PM
@scohe001 Hum, good point, thanks :)
 
@Noon Saving question FTW!
I think it's good now
 
@avazula FTW?
 
Aaaaaaaand they changed the title to make it off-topic
 
@Noon For the win! :D
 
for the win
 
4:25 PM
for the win
 
@scohe001 Oh no, that's just me who forgot to edit the title. Hehe
Oh wait
No
Ughhhh
 
These three "For the win" are a bit weird, like a sect or something :P
 
Don't know what you're talking about :D
Come oooon, join us ... We won't vote to close your entrance application, I promess ...
 
:P
 
Sounds like you might need to make a chatroom to torture and interrogate find his true purpose
 
5:13 PM
Is anyone paying attention to meta lately? :P
 
@Tinkeringbell I am but since it's my question, I don't really want to answer (because I'm biased and because, if I say something negative, it probably won't go well :/ )
 
@Noon But would you say the answer now meets guidelines?
I'm poking the room in general because I find our meta kinda quiet lately. Especially when it comes to posts discussing closed or deleted answers.
They used to draw a lot more attention. Is it because we're getting better at this (so there's a smaller division in opinions etc. being posted?)
Or is no-one really caring anymore :P
 
@Tinkeringbell I'm kind of frustrating by the fact that there are so little details. Also, I feel like it misses a why, why should I do what they say? Plus, the "somewhat entitled" and " I adapted the answer to provide a better answer to this ever-evolving question of 26 edits." sting a little ><
 
@Noon True ;)
 
To conclude, I would say that, without the why, I would probably won't do want they say because we are talking about my relationship with my mother and I don't want to makes things worse
@Tinkeringbell PS: if you agree with me, feel free to use what I write because I won't do it (because I don't want (more) conflict with this person)
 
5:29 PM
@Noon I'd really love to see the community answer this, instead of a moderator :P We're kinda supposed to only step in once y'all don't. Like I did by flagging those six answers yesterday ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell I must admit, since it is the moderators that are flagged (unless I'm wrong?), I thought that it was up to the moderator to answer the question (and take the decision)
 
@Noon I flagged them, but people did vote/recommend to delete it.
Ideally the flagging would already have happened by the community
But now that we deleted it on community recommendation, it would be nice to hear from the community whether they think the edit invalidates their votes :D
 
@Tinkeringbell Sorry, I was talking about the undeletion, does community vote for that too?
@Tinkeringbell I guess that Community is awkwardly silent right now :P
 
@Noon In a way now, by answering that meta post :)
You can't vote to undelete a post a moderator deleted.
 
@Tinkeringbell Alright, good to know (and thanks) :)
 
5:37 PM
You're welcome ;) We're trying :P
 
DDD
5:50 PM
@Tinkeringbell, can we give the answer of this question - interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/19082/… ?
 
@DDD If you think the question no longer needs to be put on hold, feel free to write an answer
 
DDD
Ok, Thanks
 
6:25 PM
Uggggh site is currently under maintenance :'(
 
:'(
It's nice that the chat is still working, though
 
Yup
Pasta night!!
I made a cake moreover :o
 
What kind?
 
Chocolate cake!!
 
Nice!
 
6:30 PM
See IPS? One can switch eggs in a cake and still make a good one o/
Apple sauce forever
 
A made a brownie the other day, everyone loved it (but it took me sooo looong, I don't want to do it again >< )
@avazula Absolutly!!!!
 
@avazula Ooh I wonder if we're getting the new .NET core
 
Ahahah! Its so exhausting cooking for a long time! It's the least I wanna do after a long day of work
@scohe001 woooh. I DLed it this morning
For C# stuff though (ugh. I hate it)
 
@avazula Whaaat? No. I was working so hard on writing a comment. Are we back up again? :P
 
@avazula Yeah, me too. I would have done it if it wasn't to thank my family for helping me move
 
6:33 PM
@avazula ohh looks like meta just went down for maintenance so you can't see that...but they re-did the SE backend finally after like 10 years. This'll be the roll out
@avazula you're telling me. My new company only uses C#, I'm dying
 
But @Noon I would not worry. The guy is frustrated their answer got deleted whereas it was popular. 26 edits isn't surprising when it comes to controversial topics like veganism because people get sooo picky about everything you say.
Once you hit HNQ its lilely that 75+% of answers don't actually answer your issue
 
(ignore what I'm saying about .NET rollout, looks like a database overload)
 
@scohe001 oh no ='(
 
@avazula That's... a lot :O
 
@avazula We have a meta for that now :D
And the question I answered today hit HNQ too, and I'm still the only answer there.
 
6:37 PM
@Tinkeringbell etiquette questions aren't very popular, most likely because they're so hard to address :p
@scohe001 and im sorry for that :(
 
@avazula Well, if they can fix the database a few hours before midnight, I might still repcap from the answer :P
 
@scohe001 At least I'm glad this happened when it's 8pm in France, that's mean it can be fixed during my night :P
 
@avazula at least properties are kinda cool. That's about the only redeeming feature so far lol
 
@Tinkeringbell repcap?
 
@avazula reputation cap. You can earn at most 200 points a day
 
6:38 PM
@Noon pshh it's 1 over here. This is my prime SE time!
 
(excluding the 15 you get from having your answer accepted, you'll always get those)
 
@scohe001 don't know that, haven't been far enough yet for that :p
 
@scohe001 Ahah, sorry for you ^^
 
@avazula you're a C++ gal, yea? Property is a cool easy way to define a member object and give it a setter/getter really easily. Pretty cool stuff
@Noon haha at least we still have access to the review queues
 
@scohe001 wooh, neat. Although its not a big deal anymore now that there's ClIon over there (handled automatically)
@Tinkeringbell ah yeah, right :)
 
6:42 PM
@avazula huh I've heard the name, but never looked into it. Is it a library?
 
@scohe001 Thanks to you, I'm reviewing a first answer right now :P
 
@scohe001 its an IDE from Jetbrains (the guys who built IntelliJ for Java). They did great
 
@Noon like it's your first time reviewing an answer? Or you're reviewing someone's first answer??
 
This is a divine alert: the state of emergency is retracted. We seem to be back up online.

@scohe001 I'm reviewing someone first answer ^^
 
6:45 PM
@avazula ooh super spiffy! I've always just used Vim since C++ IDE's always felt too clunky, but I'll have to check that one out for my next pet project
 
@Noon Link to the meta, link to the meta! :P
 
@Tinkeringbell woooh! Noice
@Tinkeringbell although you're not a president :o stop modding around :p
 
@avazula Hmm.
Better? :P
 
Hahahaha
 
@Tinkeringbell ?
@Tinkeringbell XD
 
6:47 PM
@Noon Oh, just link to the meta on writing good answers in a comment :P
 
@scohe001 you should give it a try,try its great :)
 
@Tinkeringbell Ahah, I will if the answer is bad :P
 
Be nitpicky, that's a good thing to do for first answers as well ;)
Better teach them right in one go! :P
 
@Tinkeringbell first meta answer?
 
@Tinkeringbell Ahah, I will think about that for the future :P
 
6:56 PM
...is it just me or are we offline again?
 
It's not just you :(
Ahah, see @Tinkeringbell, your wish is my command!
 
7:24 PM
The cake is good :o
Fluffy and everything
 
Nice to hear :D

Q: Answer votes being reported like question votes

BlackThornI'm not sure if anyone else has been having this problem today, but I noticed that every vote I'm receiving for an answer is being reported in my notifications as +5 rep instead of +10. Is this a new thing, bug, or something else?

 
@Tinkeringbell do we have any deleted posts (answer or questions) that were commented on in the last 5 hours before they were deleted?
 
7:57 PM
@scohe001 Sure, why? I just commented on one that was self deleted after ;)
 
9:26 PM
Would it be weird to send a message to someone on a dating site who I might've had an interview with. I'm bad with faces.
I suppose I don't have much to lose.
 
I think it would be weird if you were like "Hey, I think you interviewed me..." but not so much otherwise.
Or if you thought the interview went well but hadn't gotten a job offer or anything yet.
 
Also, it was like a week ago.
I got interview feedback already.
 
9:42 PM
Also, why does everyone look so different in photos...
In general I have serious doubts that I'll be able to recognise someone in real life who I've only seen a few photos of.
 
10:14 PM
I just want to start playing Dota again, but I know I'll regret it.
 
user15026
@ElizB Hope your presentation stuff went well, I was thinking good thoughts for you all day :)
 
10:30 PM
I thought it went great.
 
Thanks, it went great!
 
user15026
Yay!
 
user15026
 
user15026
(I felt like a happy Kermit flail was appropriate.)
 
I agree, is appropriate. :)
