Practical Ethics, Tuesday, Period 3

[jedigrammarians]

“Today we're going to tackle the ethics of breaking up with someone,” Anakin began.

"If there's attempted murder involved, you've probably done it wrong." You'd know, Aphra.

And so would Anakin. Cough. These were definitely the worst people this side of Deadpool to advise you on anything, kids.

"You're definitely doing it wrong. But apparently running off to another planet and never calling back is also wrong?"

Who knew!

"Effective though." Aphra, no! "But then they get really upset if you pretend you didn't do that next time you want to hook up."

"Or sometimes you aren't supposed to be dating at all due to...religious reasons...and so you aren't supposed to have break-ups or hook-ups at all," Anakin said.

They were the least useful people ever to teach you about this.

"Oh, yeah, then you usually get the head of some order after you too for being a 'corrupting influence'." The actual worst, and Aphra hadn't even had her worst break-up yet.

"So...how would you approach a breakup?" Anakin asked the students.

Please, please tell them, kids. Because they clearly don't know.

At all.

Hands up anyone surprised that Aphra has had multiple ex-girlfriends attempt to kill her?

If ghosting and murder are out, what does that leave?

"I suppose," ventured Sidon after a moment, "this may clearly seem like an exceptional stretch of thr imagination, but...perhaps, maybe, quite possibly....an effective approach may involve, oh, I don't know...simply discussing the matter in a frank and straightforward fashion, as one might expect from two rational individuals?"

Not that he was judging, of course.

Ahem.

Sidon might be getting a bit used to the idea of feeling like the adult in the room when it came to this class.

But then again, he was probably older than everyone else, so...

"That seems too easy," Anakin mused.

"And sometimes," Sidon had to chuckle a little, "don't they say that the best solution often is the easiest? I know that, should I ever find myself needing to break off from a relationship, any relationship at all," which he very sincerely believed he would never have to do, of course, "then that is how I would handle it. Very straight-forward, to the point, making my intentions very clear and succinct, so that there is left no question as to where I stand. It is how I would intend to approach diplomatic situations, as well. I don't think one stands to be in a good situation for themselves if all they plan to do is evade and avoid the issues at hand."

They're so terrible at relationships.

Re: Talk to Aphra or Anakin - PE [30/10]

[sith_happened]

The three longest relationships of Anakin's life had ended with marriage, trying to kill the other person, and marriage AND trying to kill the other person.

Do not listen to Anakin.

Yeah, that latest issue killed me.
