@fasterthanlime are those not synonyms?

@malwareminigun
each other = I will be candid with you
ourselves = I will admit hard truths about myself (to myself)

@fasterthanlime I see, ourselves referring to individuals rather than the group

fasterthanlime OP , vor 15 Tagen

@malwareminigun yes! our two own selves, rather than the collective selves

@fasterthanlime "let's be honest, our customers use us for the text editor and not the UML designer" ... is that "ourselves" or "each other"?

@malwareminigun
> the UML designer
whatever it is, it's macabre

(but I suppose, both?)

@fasterthanlime @malwareminigun I picked ourselves but I definitely read the poll as 'our collectif self'. = Let's not kid ourselves, let's be serious. (Whereas 'with each other' sounds more like "let me tell you some facts", almost aggressive tone-wise.)

@fasterthanlime for the former I'd rather use "let's be frank"

@fasterthanlime I don't use the phrase because it's a red flag for "I'm going to make an assertion without substantiating it and then try to imply that anybody who doesn't agree with it isn't being honest"

@fasterthanlime I think it's a bit contextual, depending on the preceding conversation and the information thast's being presented with that honesty.
