That’s incredibly messy, for example, a friend of mine was recently forced out of the country because her Ukrainian refugee visa was revoked. Are you saying this community member cannot be sad or angry about this, because that’s too political? We have to be like damn this is the last board game with Nancy but we can’t talk about why because that’s Polticial?
I think it’s the opposite of messy tbh. It’s clear cut. You might not like it but that’s a separate discussion.
Re your colleague: I wouldn’t want to talk about it other than showing empathy for the person. At your workplace… outside of work you can talk whatever you want.
This isn’t a work context. This is a board game meetup, lol. Do you not have friends outside of work?
Oh I see. so it’s my fault now that I didn’t understand what you were describing.
And no. I don’t have any friends not even at work.
I literally said in my first post that I am speaking in a board game context.
