The idea that you can "deescalate" in each and every situation is delusional. From time to time you must stand up and fight and there is no way around it. You may choose whether you will take a fight in more favourable or less favourable situation - that's it
Evan Goer retweeted
The entire idea of "deescalation" is based upon assumption that the opposite side also wants to deescalate and is just as conflict averse as you. But what if this assumption is false? Well, then this strategy becomes suicidal

We'll ALL be celebrating so many holidays this season; from secular holidays like Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot to religious holidays like Yom Kippur, Simchat Torah, and Yom Saint Francis Ha’Kadosh…

Gus has dug up all his old free adventures and put them on his new blog, with a suitably crotchety old man yelling at clouds preamble. There is some really good stuff here. alldeadgenerations.blogspot.…

Talking to an engineer today about implementing some web technology… and they’re sharing how they get hate mail because it’s not implemented yet.
Hate mail. From more than one person.
No, people. No. Do not send hate mail about web technology. Stop it. That’s not helping.

Startups are always tough. If you plan in advance for it to be balanced, it will still be tough. But if you *plan* for it to be a grind it will fail. Research has shown that you cannot work in crunch mode successfully for more than 4 weeks. ericdodds.com/research-and-t…

Fun fact! Their holidays don’t actually move around from year to year, they just follow a different calendar!
On the Christian holy calendar of Pope Gregory Yom Christmas, for example, is always on the 25th of “December” (a month around Kislev/Tevet).

Just walked past a man who was helplessly staring at his wailing infant in a stroller on this beautiful afternoon in Brooklyn, and then said to the baby: "This feels like an overreaction."

I promise you that if an NT person says "Let's have coffee sometime" they want to have coffee some time with you at least 85% of the time. It's not 99.9% no and just a secret neurotypical trick, it is the great majority of the time utterly utterly true.
