Going to an office likely helps this actually, when remote we only interact with people explicitly which is much more of an echo chamber than sitting at lunch and casually joining a conversation about politics you never would have had online
- LaGrange 3y ago> casually joining a conversation about politics you never would have had online Yes, what will surely improve my mental health is a workplace conversation about how I should be exterminated. Fantastic idea.
- repeekad 3y agoI think in person discussions are much healthier than online ones, because there is a human being sitting across from you rather than a screen name If your conversations involve people wanting you exterminated… I think in person vs online is even more important. It’s not possible to argue that kind of stance in person unless they’re a crazy person, in which case just avoid those I guess
- repeekad 3y agoFor example, you found it necessary to personally attack me in another thread, so I think we found where some of the mental health issues actually come from
- LaGrange 3y agoThis comment is funny, because it _is_ a personal attack, meanwhile I didn't even realize you're the same person.

It’s not possible to argue that kind of stance in person unless they’re a crazy person, in which case just avoid those I guess See in some settings I can avoid them. But transphobic sexist weirdos are not only incredibly over-represented in IT, but also I kinda don't really get to choose my coworkers. So yeah, I'll stick with work from home, and I'll have, you know, actual friends otherwise. _Some_ of whom _may_ happen to be coworkers past or present.
