I’m used to it being morethat overtime was not allowed unless explicitly requested of you. Unapproved overtime was verboten! How times changed.
- Comment on Reddit is finally entirely dead to me 6 days ago:
I’m always happy when people bring that up, it happens too rarely. I was exposed to Discordianism as a kid, which is kind of the Idiot’s Guide version of culture jamming. I didn’t come across Guy Debord until later, when I’d already made up my mind that everything about mainstream society needed to be subverted. Sadly, it seems I’m not very good at it.

Support your local federated instance, hold mods and admins to task, get to know people in your community, report trolls and push to defederate instances run poorly or in bad faith. If that ends up not being enough, fuck I dunno.
- Comment on Reddit is finally entirely dead to me 6 days ago:
It’s a loss, but I’ve come to see it as just a part of the endless treadmill of 1. Go to where the cool people are 2. Uncool people show up 3. It gets bad 4. Look for the cool people. Feels like that’s always going to be the way of it.

Wth 44? Time and a half? Jesus, when did it stop being 40 and double?

They pay overtime for that “weekend” work. Right?

That might be the first “ftfy” that I’m genuinely happy about lmao, cheers
- Comment on Florida prisoner laughs as judge sentences him to life for killing cellmate with pen: 'You are amusing' 2 weeks ago:
In a way I can kind of see both sides of this one. A judge being literally judgemental is a comedic trope. That said, Terry is a monster lmao

Someone should tell animal fuckers that humans are animals, blow their fuckin minds
- Comment on Anon was bullied 2 weeks ago:
Same. I got my face pushed in by a bully who was on the boxing team. The principal later put me on the spot, asked me to forgive him to his face and I said no.
I could have easily needed therapy for that, but I’ve been fortunate enough to have come through it liking myself more, even being proud of how I handled it. I can take a punch and walk away calmly and deliberately (then cry through a giant red snot bubble in the nurse’s office later).
Besides… Last I heard he was in jail for armed robbery. Ha! And double ha! Ever thus to bullies.

Surely private equity will enhance the value of the platform. You will never regret being owned by American venture capitalists.

- Comment on Anon needs a good response 3 weeks ago:
I know enough about psychopathy specifically to know it would be interesting to try for a few hours, but longer than that it might ruin my life. My sense of empathy often gives me grief, but it serves a purpose.
- Comment on Anon needs a good response 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes I wish I could take psychopathy for a test drive, just to see what it’s like to be emotionally invulnerable for a day. This is the kind of thing I’d want to do.

True, I haven’t bothered to detach the thing in years but it still complains if you wiggle the screen a bit too much. And the screen protector I put on mine (good investment as it turned out) does inhibit the touch sensitivity a lot.
