My boss is the worst for this. We’ll be sitting on a call in our conference room and he’ll start clicking his pen. Or playing with his water bottle. Or slapping his lips. After seven years I haven’t committed murder yet, though.

Jordan Peterson as in “Being transgender is satanic ritual abuse” and “Transgenderism is a social contagion” Jordan Peterson?
Are you arguing in good faith or are you just a troll?
Yeah, the polycules I’ve met have all been hot messes that caused a lot of pain for everyone involved (and adjacent). At least a few have this attitude of “Monogamous people are prudes and need to open up, polyamory is HoW hUmAnS sHoUlD lIvE”. Maybe it’s just bad luck, but as a result I generally keep a bit more distance with my poly friends.
Are the Ecosia results up to date? They used to be great, but awhile ago they changed something and it’s been hot garbage since. I still use them because trees, but I usually search with Ecosia, don’t see what I want, and then have to use another search engine.
The general consensus I’ve heard is that Unreal is better for 3D, Unity for 2D, but this knowledge was from 2020-ish.
Ah, the classic “Beat a ho, then run her a bath” technique. You do something absolutely heinous, then you either walk part of it back or give some minor carrot that doesn’t matter to make people feel better. People feel like they forced change or got a deal, so they accept the horrible thing you did.
How well does this work? Like is glare / not being able to see an issue? How much of the wall color shows through, or do you have to have a special screen?
Trying to calculate if trans or just adorably clueless
Wow, that fiorst one is actually really good!

I can’t imagine the pain of having your sight taken away, getting it partially back, and then having it taken away again purely by corporate greed.
Hilarious that one of your reports got invited to the company shutting down meeting but you didn’t, F
Isn’t that a long time for corporate?
While I disagree with your take that dandelions are bad, that’s a great mow job! How do you get stripes that pronounced?
Oh no, CrImInAlS. We’d better make sure only big corps can use this tech and legislate against individual use. /s
You good bro?
Blink three times if you need help.
Not a creepy-pasta per se, but have you see this one?

For what it’s worth, the people I knew IRL who said this did end up voting and did not vote for Trump, but I still wonder how damaging that rhetoric could’ve been if people hadn’t been willing to argue with it.
But yeah, that was a mind-boggling shouting match conversation to have.
We’re defederated from the worst offenders. Do you have an account on an instance that’s federated with Lemmygrad / Hexbear? Because it’s bad.
For what it’s worth, we have a local tankie group at one of our college campuses nearby that really sucks in a lot of people from the queer community. They’re pretty much all universally combative, dominate any political space they’re in with “Voting has no point, just stop voting (shockedpikachu.jpg when fascists take office, consolidate power, and make life hell for minorities)” or “I’d rather vote for Trump to accelerate the decline of the world so the revolution is easier / faster” or “The holodomor was a Ukrainian man-made disaster to make Russia look bad, therefore wasn’t a genocide, and you’re a racist for believing it was”. Fortunately once they get off campus and into the real world most of them chill out, but Eternal September means they’re a constant menace to our local queer community.
Are they as big of a problem in the US as conservatives? Not remotely, though there’s some surprising overlap in their support of Russia that might make them a scarier force than expected. They’re still worth bitching about and deriding though.
The rest of the world, though? Russia and China are literally committing genocide, right now, and these people are cheering that on. There’s some European parties who are gaining in power who align with pro-Russia, pro-China goals. They might not be the main threat, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a threat.
There’s nothing wrong with blocking politics communities for your own well-being.
