  It is ALWAYS “shut the fuck up” Friday.

  Just a note on the “toxic” thing - when folks talk about “toxic masculinity” they’re generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like “I must commit violence to defend my honor” or “I must never express ‘soft’ emotions”. Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.

  That was exactly my reasoning when I switched to sitting every time. Sometimes the stream just decides to pick some unpredictable direction to start, if I sit down I’ve got a hemisphere of protection and no need to clean my piss off the floor (or worse, leave that for someone else).

  Thanks, I didn’t remember that. 🤬

  One time I got a mass email from the director’s assistant telling us to send them our cell phone numbers. I was quite irritated, so I ignored it initially to calm down and think of a rational response. Anyway, the following week the director was dead, I’m sure there was no connection.

  I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

  Hmm, I’m trying to imagine measuring my worth with my penis. Like, if worth was a linear distance I could be like “I’m worth seven penises!”

  Ohh, that makes sense. Perhaps I could’ve figured that out if I’d had any.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help reading a social situation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is “contractual awareness”? I googled it and it just seems to be talking about contact law?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sharks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As I understand it, sharks aren’t actually hungry all that often. They eat, then just spend a lot of time being chill sharks.

  My manager recently denied some of my PTO requests, so whatever you just said (I didn’t read it) doesn’t count and all managers are bastards. QED.

  That is a mighty fine stick gun!

  Not with that attitude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨find the one⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I googled “was Avogadro ugly” and found this picture posted on r/funny ten years ago. But also quite a few people seem to agree that he was indeed quite ugly.

  I’m fairly certain that the evil twin is the one on this side, that’s what’s really disconcerting.

  I am not literally a part of my kids, but they wouldn’t be here without me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it was growing up with religious fantastic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

  I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

  And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yesit is!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s that restricting current would be more of an inductance thing than a resistance thing? Like Amp should be pushing the walls wider while Ohm tries to hold Volt back?

  I imagine to accomplish this, you would probably be trying to rotate them out rather than pulling straight up.

  In short, it’s the wrong tool for the job.

  In practice, if your target is very limited and consistent, it’s probably fine. But as a general statement about someone’s behavior, it really sounds like someone is wasting a lot of time and regularly getting sub-par results.

  I’m down with scraping, but “parses HTML with regex” has got me fucked up.

  Thank you! What I like to do is ask meta-questions.

  Are we doing “good human” here or are we eschewing that as a “reddit thing”?
