Ok. Why laugh? Are you amused? Didn’t seem like it.
Set boundaries. Don’t laugh if it’s not funny. Some people like pushing buttons… Your buttons in this case.
“That’s not funny. I don’t appreciate those kinds of comments.”
Have you tried that? Cuz usually when people stick up for themselves they don’t need other people to do it for them.
How about “Stop. I won’t tolerate this harassment.”
And body language is important here. You don’t smile. You don’t laugh. You look at them with a look of disgust and contempt. “If looks could kill.”
And then you go talk with HR. And then HR has a talk with them.
Good luck!

Why so self serious?
- Comment on Would you eat 'honey' if humans spat phlegm on pollen and then dehydrated it? 2 weeks ago:
They do that in South America where tribes spit into a communal pot. I think they were chewing cassava or maize or something like that. There are enzymes (like amylase) in saliva that break down the starches into fermentable sugars.
I think I’d pass, personally. I hear it’s quite sour and I hate sour beer.

It kind of seems like if a vegan worked on a CAFO and processed livestock for slaughter ..
Virtue jerking is funny.

No idea. I’m from the US. I use quokk.au because it’s super fast and doesn’t bother me with repeatedly verifying that I’m not a bot… unlike practically every other instance I’ve tried.

Nope. And furthermore, you’re not eligible.
You have it right, though, if you reside here then you would.

I like the term woke. When people criticize wokeness you know that they are asleep.
- Comment on Would hammering websites on black Friday actually cost companies money? 2 weeks ago:
How much backbone do you have available?
You’d have to either saturate their network or their compute.
Most websites offload a ton of the processing to the client. So you’d likely have to beat cloudflare at their business model.
It’ll be mitigated within the duration of a fart. -toot-

What a lovely smile. I’d hate to see anything happen to it.
My, my… you’re absolutely floatin’ gorgeous, sweetheart.
Every time you walk into the room, the whole place gets a little darker. And I like that.
Yea, don’t do that. Try the other suggestions. :)
