A strongly written memo will be considered.

Feels like an overt threat.

Sounds like you understand the legislation perfectly well.

Government is looking awfully tyrannical lately. If only there was some way to amend this issue.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that.

It's pretty groovy baby.

Could you see how I might perceive that reply to have failed to engage with anything I said?

Some extra context for those who have not played: PoE2 does not hold your hand. When I was learning the game that fight killed me too. But I wasn't claiming to be one of the best players, (I'd still describe myself as bad) and that same fight can't even hit me now.

An example that could have come right out of a psychology textbook. Well done.

Not entirely accurate. He died to the tutorial fight first. The guy who is supposedly one of the best players in the world.

I have no idea how that is anything like saying common sense is common. That did not address what I said. Someone has failed in some aspect of this communication. Since it may have been me, I'll try rephrasing.

Do you talk to people you are not romantically interested in sometimes? Are you able to generally guess whether they would be receptive to interacting or not? Could you conceivably guess if a person waiting in a waiting room might be open to chat, versus wants to be left alone?

The point I was driving at is people often behave as though interacting with those they are sexually attracted to is different. While it can be in some ways, the way you can identify whether someone you're not sexually attracted to would like to interact can be used with those you are sexually attracted to as well. It's not mind reading.

If you cannot do these things with people you are not sexually attracted to either, that's a skill that can be developed, and the issue is not an inability to read women's (I'm guessing) minds.

That's not reading minds though. What was being described are social skills you very likely already have, but are used to applying to non romantic interactions with men.
