Yes, absolutely. Both are possible. Different peoplwith different experiences and tendencies operate differently.
Also, there are lots of different types of love. www.ftd.com/blog/types-of-love

Big thread on this here:
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
Then I’ll do it. If it doesn’t cost me too much. I can’t see someone else’s perspective really, but I can at least be empathetic…
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s always gotta be true to some extent… If not, then the apology is gonna be insincere anyway. But it doesn’t mean that the regret has to be massive for you for the apology to be valid or useful.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
I get that this is a joke, but there’s a good point there too: I don’t give apologies because they were demanded, if give them because I can see that they’d help improve the situation.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’m definitely assuming good faith above. I’m lucky that I’m mostly surrounded by people for whom that assumption makes sense.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 2 weeks ago:
Yes… Apologies aren’t about fault for me. They are about recognising other’s suffering, and possibly about acknowledging my contribution to that situation.
The apology isn’t about you, it’s about the other person, and showing you care about them.

Something to fill time while waiting for the kebab you ordered?
- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 2 weeks ago:
If platforms are providing affordances for abuse and profiting off it, then they are too.
- Comment on Writing was invented before reading. 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t taking about an individual, I was talking about humans as a species and culture.
- Comment on Writing was invented before reading. 2 weeks ago:
No. You can read signs. Like foot prints, or fire scars. Or you can count actually objects before you invent tallying.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Relationships are complex. What’s “cheating” for some people is fine for others. And there’s usually a million factors complicating everything. Maybe you’re mum’s a bit naive, maybe she’s bang on. Both can be true in different ways.

Tiktok would be pulling most away

- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 3 weeks ago:
Grammar that doesn’t cause headspins is a personal boundary, right?
- Comment on Lemmy be like 3 weeks ago:
That’s my point
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
True that.
Just getting in to TTRPGs properly. It seems like a way to really solidify friendships, rather than to find new ones. But that’s still very valuable!
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Social hobbies are where it’s at. I’ve never met anyone meaningful at a concert. Hobbies (and activism) though, all the people all the time.
“Don’t have much time”… I guess it it’s important to you, you should figure out how to make time for it
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
So, uh, you reckon you could fit eight of those on one person?
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 3 weeks ago:
This could do with a comma somewhere, I think…
- Comment on Bro wake up it's 1997. 3 weeks ago:
Been fucken ages, but it has the Sydney Harbour Bridge, plus a bunch of the cliffs on the freeway north of Sydney (which are sadly much less majestic since a freeway expansion on the early 2000s). Then it also has some red desert which is at least 1000km away, plus some old mining towns, which is somewhere in between.
I just looked up a lap of it on youtube though, and the graphics are waaaaay worse than I remember… I guess I had low standards in the 90s 😂

Oh wow, did you post this direct from mastodon just by tagging the community? Didn’t realise that works, that’s super cool.
- Comment on Bro wake up it's 1997. 3 weeks ago:
Playing this as an Aussie teenager, the Australia track was kinda hilarious, I was always like damn, this loop through that scenery should take about 32 hours minimum
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
This probably shouldn’t be marked NSFW?
- Comment on What would happen if America started faking its economic data? Here’s what happened when other countries did it 4 weeks ago:
They’re already ditching reality on climate, and climate-related sovereign risk is set to become a pretty huge part of the international financial/economic picture over the next years/decades…
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
Makes sense, thanks!
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
Goodness in one aspect doesn’t cancel badness in another…
It can be always bad AND sometimes good.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
Got some examples?
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. It’s saying that any amount of suffering is bad, but a tolerable amount of suffering can have good secondary effects (but this is not guaranteed, it’s circumstantial). The secondary good doesn’t mean that the bad part didn’t happen.
