How do I come off without sounding sarcastic and only do so through non direct means but still convey somehow what I mean or empathy to a complex situation that hasn't been resolved from when it started over two years ago. I have to do so through only social media, to a large number of people fro...

Area 51 proposals are pretty much "doomed" anyways
Now to propose a website you already need a community for it, you can't just wait for people to see and follow it. Having a community ready means 300+ users making proposed questions and then if the site goes online to be active enough
While I can agree that showing empathy is usually a good thing, I just can't do so for someone who willingly put others like in dangers. As for trying to help her, this is not the first time she drives drunk, she's been arrested for it, several times, we tried to help her, offering to drive for her when she goes to party, but she still continued to drive drunk, at this point, I don't have any help I can, or want to, offer her. — user33991 min ago
To all the "that sounds like you have something in mind" comments: That is not perse true. I tend to overthink and end up messing myself up. Wether I did something or not. TS can have the same as it's not uncommon. — Martijn28 secs ago
Can you please explain why do you think this will work? Did you do something similar in the past and it worked? Did you read something about it in a book? To be honest, I find your way quite (passive) aggressive towards the friends. I would feel uncomfortable if someone would just shoo me, only because they have a right. There are several points I disagree with, and before me going into the details, you should make an update, to explain, as I mentioned. — virolino14 secs ago

Personally, I would also add to that (indirectly), that I will show understanding for and respect her decision regardless of whether she feels comfortable to re-establish this friendly relationship or not. OP has systematically pressured her into building these boundaries, and should acknowledge that he accepts the consequences. — fragamemnon1 min ago

Have you tried turning the argument back round and pointing it at your friends? So, rather than it being you who's a 'bad friend', it's them who are condoning drunken behaviour that's liable to kill people? In fact, do you even want to continue being friends with these people? — Aaron F23 secs ago
@CaldeiraG @Ava @Alex @Ælis I completely agree the wording is a little weird. We say "caught correctly" even though the comment may not have been "caught" by anything (since there are so many ways for a comment to be reported here without any regexes now). I'm all for updating that wording. Maybe "Marked this comment as not a good fit for the site (tp)."? Any better ideas?
@scohe001 "not a good fit" seems weird, but all the other phrasing I have could be perceived as a bit rude ^^ But yeah, I like your new phrasing much better than the old one (which really wasn't explicite)
As with buses and public transport (and parking) you let people inside out so you can go inside. If the person inside let you in then they usually hold the door and make a "welcome" hand gesture to encourage you to enter. — SZCZERZO KŁY3 mins ago
I came to the client office today because I was told to yesterday, when I got here I found out that I don't actually need to be here and the rest of my team is elsewhere :(
Any particular reason why you think practicality might differ from politeness? Also just to be certain: you want a answer that presumes either of the involved is holding open the door but the answer HAS to be independent of whom holds it open? Or can that be considered in that be considered for the approach, too? — dhein1 min ago
Hmm, last Friday a company asked me for my availability in order to set up a phone interview. I responded on the same day, and I still haven't heard from them to set it up
Agreed with @Mast. I've heard plenty of examples of having a difficult conversation (like a breakup) in public specifically so that the aggrieved party is less likely to get upset and make a scene. — David K2 mins ago
@AJ ooh I like this one! That's an optimistic outlook on life--enjoying the little things :)
@Ælis @Alex How about "Marked this comment as removable from IPS (tp)."? And then fp can be "Marked this comment as good for IPS (fp)." I'm fine with anything, these would all be trivial changes, so it's no skin off my back :p
Getting my boss's address (for holiday cards)

+1 for giving them a way out without a confrontation. Far more effective at obtaining the desired behavior, and without causing lasting friction. — Francine DeGrood Taylor2 mins ago

I solved my problem, but I'm waiting on another developer to get a PR merged that replaces a mock service with the actual implementation because the mock service they wrote is really bad and keeps breaking my tests
Yeah, I finished testing mine locally, shot one coworker an e-mail asking about an edge case... then called it a day ;) Tomorrow I'll have a review with another co-worker, and hopefully that'll be all :D

The feature got removed on Chrome 78 for some reason but on Chrome Dev 80.0.8970.5 this feature is back again so expect for it to be back in some days.

Sometimes during negotiations, my statements are misunderstood, which makes the interlocutor argue not mine postulates. How can I politely correct my statement and shorten the discussion that resulted from a misunderstanding?
