Week : 64 ( Year 1 )

What is the plan for the weekend?

"Is a 'no' always a 'no,' or can it ever change?" ( Regardless of context or any context)

Previous Week : https://devrant.com/rants/11442040

of course. After 'no' comes 'why' and with that information you can do a better proposal.

My weekend, not much. Currently working on devRant statistics. They're better than I thought, devRant is far from dead. See my recent posts. Comment statistics are underway

@retoor Some people are so neglectful that they do not even care to explain 'why'.

@sandeepbalan they don't know why and they can't be bothered actually =]

source: used to be a why expert

a no is an invitation for a dance

I used to get excited when people would say no. they don't say no for long

that was before depression hit though. now everyone is afraid as adults, which makes everything lame

also they don't seem to be able to dance if I say no. everything is so serious now as adults that it's lame

you can still tempt someone saying "no" when it comes to video games I guess 🤔
like if they don't wanna play one you can keep wagging it in front of their face. I guess MMO "no's" where you'd stalk a player in PvE or pvp are all gone now though...

but IRL if someone says no things get serious

anonymous internet if someone says no you can still prance around and play games with them though

but if you have title, authority, or it's some legal relationship then everybody is all morose and scared and then it's no fun

@jestdotty I would never say no to you!

I would be too afraid. lol

@bazmd nice info, do you want to end up without clothes? Because this is how you end up with no clothes

@retoor Hahaha

@jestdotty What were your reasons to say "no"? Any common items?

@sandeepbalan mine? I've said no cuz I wanna hear someone's pitch, reasoning, etc. I just want them to open up and wrestle basically. this isn't a direct "no", I'll say something like "that sounds boring" and hope they argue about it -- 80% of the time people don't though, which is very lame

I can also say direct "no" though and those are actually no. actually salesmen are very good at detecting this one, which is always kind of funny to me

I've also said no to a manager asking me to do overtime 7 times in a row. I lured them in the middle of the open office plan. afterwards I asked another manager that witnessed the ordeal if they thought that behaviour was weird. unfortunately apparently that was totally normal and appropriate behaviour. was not a fan. ended up being a hassle for that company because it made me change the nature of our arrangement since they couldn't or didn't want to reel in her, what felt to me, harassment
