Or, simply: noblesse oblige.

Actually, this might be the absolutely most obnoxious possibly response, especially in English. I’ve heard it used unironically in French, and I think I recall hearing it used sardonically in English. Anyone else?

Maybe more blunt: Please stop interrupting my work.

I think that a good rule of thumb is: would you say “male doctor” or “male politician”? If not, is the professional’s gender relevant? Probably not, in which case it sounds pejorative to include it.

I love it. Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean. And I promise I’m not trying to argue, just exploring the boundary.

What if your body was injured and it became comatose. Then your brain was uploaded to a computer where you regained consciousness.

Are you the same person? Which one is you? If the computer were turned off, is the body you? If the body dies, is the mind you? What if your mind were loaded into a different body? What if your body has a different mind loaded onto it?

What I’m really trying to get at is: are you the composite of your body + your consciousness? How much would either one have to change to not be you?

I’m mid-40s and not at all the same person I was in my 30s, which was very different from my 20s, which was very different from my teens, etc. What makes you certain that you’re the same person? What is there about you that, if it changed, would make you not the same person? I’m honestly curious about your perspective.

It raises the Ship of Theseus issue. Did he really survive if he was a different person after?

This is the best answer.

Also, set your phone and computer OS to French.

I looked into this and didn’t find anything I liked that looked reputable. I ended up getting a cell phone plan with a voice only plan. I use it with my personal phone and a dual SIM. I ported the number, but it was a huge pain to port from a business centre VOIP.

I think you have excellent taste in music. But my wife disagrees, so we just don’t listen to music together. Is music taste non-negotiable for you? What ate things you’d like to do with someone? Board games? Video games? Quiz games? Reading May or may not work. Other new hobbies or sports or activities you’d like to try? That at least suggests some social interaction and maybe get noticed by someone with similar interests.

Find a custom jeweller. I wanted to get my wife’s ring remade after 10 years, and it was far less expensive than I expected. And they can give you great ideas.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life. Rabindranath Tagore

Do you think this makes any sense? If not, why not?

I hope that every word of this is true. I loved reading it.

Is that because video games are awesome, or because you haven’t used your creativity to come up with anything else?

I love this answer so much. Thank you for taking the time to share it.
