  • 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.






  • 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.




  • [he/him] Study makes a lot of sense, not here to comment on that… Been reading what some people have said here on Emily Oster, and I cannot agree, although I can understand how you may have reached that conclusion. I sincerely feel from she is making an earnest attempt to bring people the best facts we have on an issue, and help them make their own decision. Sorry for wasting your time. She has changed the way I try to frame my decision making so I couldn’t not look into what everyone was saying, and I couldn’t not say what I found cus this was stressful.


  • 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.
