I really think it is quite unfortunate how much grad/hex tainted communism. I'm not a communist, but I was open to good discussions about it, particularly because I know it's important to look at the flaws in your own systems.

Now? I'm scarred. I can't just assume a post js something posted by someone I could probably agree with after a discussion.

I assume something similar has happened to other users. It's unfortunately hard to grant someone the grace of assume they aren't a tankie when you know they're out there. I feel your pain and I'm sorry. I also don't know how any of us can change now.

Legit thank you.

I've wondered on the right way to do this in R.... Too many times.

That's not what I learned from Stay Stay, DPRK! You clearly haven't done your homework.

Your right - so I actually finally just spent a half hour to read through all related available material that I could find 100% took me longer to read through and reply to this stuff lol

Thats.... A surprising good example lol

I don't hate y'all, but some of the posts here can be indigestable. Some posts simply assume everyone is on the same page with something - which is likely true, since you've been a community for a long time.

Maybe I'll come back and edit this with an example at some point.

I agree with you and also am disappointed with how the article abuses language. This is in no way shape or form something that should be called Gerymandering, and to do so confuses a word that really deserves to not be abused.

I expect it likely works quite well in a community where everyone knows and agrees to that. In my opinion, when the pond gets too big it becomes too hard to tell if what the abrasive-but-fair from the just-being-a-jerk comments

Like, I was distracted for hours and couldn't sleep then couldn't work because of a side-comment insult im a post because it went against someone I strongly believe in. Had to research everything that was being said in the post and carefully reply to move on. That is not the life I want for myself. Don't know how much of that really apply here, since like someone else said, I haven't actually seen 'mean' hexbear comments outside of hexbear, and never gotten one.

Most people can't just move on when they see something that distrubs them, and I think it would be unhealthy for most to change.

Not gonna lie... I thought this community was far right when I first saw it with all the 'own/dunk the libs' talk. Was real confused when I then saw ya talking about hating cars and guns and stuff lol

A lot of people seem to just be reacting to this without reading and understand. Granted, Forbs does not go sufficiently in depth to the findings to make this easy.

From what I've read on this, the underlying study here has valuable information that we can all use, understand, and digest.

Does your role require a lot of colaberation? You may need to ensure you have something better than email and phones to replace your ability to talk to someone who would have otherwise sat next to you.

Do you have a lot of junior employees? You will likely need to spend more effort on ensuring they get the quality training they need.

Like.... Sure. A CEO could easily read the title of this article and decide to just bring everyone back to the office without thinking critically. But that doesn't mean we should do the opposite we should be arming ourselves with this information so we can know how to counter our boss's arguments to ensure we can get what we want.
