Hardest battles

I’m one of God’s weak soldiers and I relate, although I’m sure He wouldn’t mock our weakness, lol. This is why it’s important to be empathetic and have a softer approach to people as much as we can afford it!
Mocking our weakness would be very on brand for the abrahamic god.

Or it’s because they walk single-file to hide their numbers.
And these blast marks, too accurate for sand people. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.

Just like asking someone with a walker to run around the block.

Maybe the “battle” and “soldier” memes are an outgrowth of the military industrial complex, and just maybe we’d be better off abandoning them.

For a long time I was confused by two seemingly separate pieces of information.
-
The majority of people I seem to interact with seem to act like communications are effortless. “Just pick up the phone”. “It’s just an email”.
-
Most communications I get are terrible. Like, the number of times I need to restrain myself from typing “as I mentioned in the email below” is insane, or how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.
Then I realized that most people are stupid, casual, and oblivious. They put very little effort into communications, so while they seem so easy and effortless they are harming the quality of that communication.

I think those predate the MIC, and even written language. See e.g. The Epic of Gilgamesh.

this is a good point. people don’t think about it, so it doesn’t bother them

Ya we were having battles and shit before humans were humans (i.e. pre Homo sapien)

Oh fuck it’s the lemmy shitpost police

Gee, maybe we can be done with it, since we’ve been doing it so long, and it’s had so many adverse consequences?

it goes deeper than we thought!

I like how in the old comics they’d give the superhero some weakness that would negate their powers.
For Green Lantern it was the color yellow. For the Martian Manhunter it was fire. For Wonder Woman it was being tied up.*
*Wasn’t sure if I remembered it right so I did a search. Over a million entries for ‘Wonder Woman tied up.’ Lotta comic fans out there.
WWs creator was a fairly well known bondage enthusiast. It’s not a secret, the only mystery is why DC decided to make it a part of her canon lore, even to this day.

I don’t know, that kind of makes her cooler to me. She’s always been kinda like “the girly Superman” to me (I know, I know, Supergirl, etc…). She’s just…bleh. Boring. But I was always an X-Men and Batman kid. And The Tick!

This applies to so many facets of life. It is only hard if you care. Like parenting.

To your second point:
how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.
I typically will reply with just the bulleted points they didn’t address and then keep sending it with less and less bullets until either they answer all points or stop replying… after the third or fourth reminder email. I make sure the previous emails are in the string and never change the title.

One of the most common problems with communication is that many people believe it is easy. There is a reason professional communication courses exist

Do not compare your vs others ability when you’re operating with a different set of tools.
Starting a fire with a hand drill is a much bigger job than with a blow torch.

She also has a lasso, so she’s not the only one in her stories to get tied up.
