One press of a key. That’s how easy a person disappears from my desktop.
It’s satisfying in a way. Knowing that I can end any conversation, no matter how prematurely, with a single stroke of the pinky. The fun part?
I do this in real life as well. There’s an obvious “esc” key to any conversation. Like when a person tries to convert me to a religion, all I have to do is wait for them to mention “god” and bluntly ask “I’m sorry. Who?” — I love the anger in their eyes when I do that. Or when a beggar ask me for money, all I have to do is look them in the eye and say “No”.
I actually like to do that. Let people know if I can’t quite tend to their needs right then and there. It saves me a lot of headaches and focus, and saves them a lot of false hope. Win-win.
It also sends out the impression that I’m a sincere being, so it’s like a triple win.

Withdrawing from a conversation you don’t want is a right that not enough people are aware of having, and I applaud you for exercising it.
Yet, when you’re intentionally going for an end where the other person is angry, you’re not aiming for a win on their part. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do this; just stop bullshitting and let’s call it like it really is
Cristina, obviously, my system is not perfect. And yeah, it’s not always win-win. Especially when I end it with a joke, or when I end it because I’d just been insulted. Nonetheless, the system makes sense, at least to me.
My only objection was to the so called win-win. The system itself is, like I said, one that I truly appreciate.
It`s good to see that, while some things have changed so much, others have changed so little since I met you.
Cristina, granted, the win-win does not always occur. It’s mostly about me, and my wellbeing. But most of the time, the good that comes from this benefits both parties.
ily, did you just call me human? again?
