Plenty of other great advice. Just tossing in: I would kill to have regularly available reliable childcare outside of my working hours so I could take care of my living space better.

Moving out would complicate that for you.

Slap a silencer on and it’ll be just fine.

Even most stealth games allow you to pop two heads at once if you’re fast enough the second guy can’t yell.

I’m a big fan of Watch Dogs and Cyberpunk style stealth hacking though. Jump into the security cam network and kill everyone in the building using environmental hazards (and in Cyberpunk, spontaneous combustion and other fun tricks) while you sit comfy a block away. Real fun to still get the stealth mission objectives popping up after when you walk in like you own the place. Or when the game still has pre-scripted dialog about how tight security is while I’m walking through a pile of their corpses.

uwu the computer made a lil fucky wucky!

I felt it was vague enough for the sake of the argument.

End of the day: there are different social rules for different environments. A group of friends, where you know the people involved, is not the situation the egg prime directive is meant for.

Not to “true scotsman” this, but the egg prime directive isn’t saying you can’t have those conversations with people.

This person notably didn’t say “my trans friends told me I was an egg, so I tried HRT just to shut them up.” It sounds like they were aware it was an option through conversations where it wasn’t pushed at them. This person made their own choice.

The egg prime directive is saying that you don’t get to declare someone else’s identity for them. You don’t get to make that choice for them. It’s about consent.

I think most of us would agree that it would be abhorrent to tell someone who is asexual that they just haven’t found the right partner yet and clearly they’re homosexual (or straight or bi) in denial. I see it as the same thing.

And the online culture of labelling other people as eggs is so far removed from the concept of “trying to help someone figure out who they are” that I have a very hard time taking this in good faith. C’mon, of course there are different rules for socialization online vs in person vs with friends.
