Beeing honest about mistakes you make is way better than trying to deflect or lie about them. This is true in professional and in social settings.

Own up to your mistakes, try to correct them and be open about you fucking up. Most people will respect that more than you trying to be Mr or Ms Perfect.

How is this a hot take

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

While I personally agree with most of what you said, I disagree with your assertion as to the reaction you'll get from peers.

We've made admitting mistakes worse than the mistake itself these days, and it's slowly unraveling accountability.

Why do I just see your name as Gloomy without the @servername?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lmao it's one of my favorite words. Yeah I don't see many of y'all either lol, I'm guessing it's a smaller instance which is cool.

You also may be able to change it in your settings to always display the full name btw, if you wanted. In Eternity you can for sure and I'm sure others too.

Because you're on the same instance, I suppose
