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?

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.

This looks super neat, and would give me good reason to go down roads I haven’t before.

Pathfinder usually goes alright, but any mention of D&D 5e and all I get is "Ugh D&D 5e is so basic, have you tried ". I’m not judging your TTRPG system taste, don’t judge mine.

That had better be a waterbed. It looks like it.

The only head canon that makes sense is that Palpatine drained her life force in order to bring Vader back from the dead.

The only head canon that makes sense to me is that Palpatine used Padme’s life force to bring Vader back from the dead.

Because the hour lunch used to count as working, IIRC.

Why not hop over to an instance that has them defeded? Even if you block all their subs, you’re still going to see all their users.

Yes

I think this guy from the article has the best take:

Marsden has handled dogs since the age of seven, and following a long career as a stockman in agriculture, has spent most of his life around working dogs, training collies, lurchers and greyhounds. “I think there is a growing problem now with owners not taking responsibility for their dog’s actions,” he says.

“Not everyone understands how to train them properly.”

He says there have been similar concerns about potentially dangerous breeds over the years, such as rottweilers and dobermans, and that banning a breed may only shift attention on to a new one. “You take these off people and the likelihood is they’ll just move on to something else.”

What’s the alternative? “We need to look at getting more licensed breeding, so there is more oversight into where these puppies are coming from … People are bringing dogs in from other countries where regulations aren’t the same as they are in the UK.”

Why does chaotic-chaotic make more sense as a cuddle than purist-agnostic?

Generally better, but it’s contextual. Someone saying with a surprised tone “It was pretty good” implies that it’s better than good and better than expected, and that the person might not have expected it to be good. Someone saying with a muted or dull “It was good…” would be worse than “pretty good” and implies that it was acceptable but disappointing or mediocre.

Just more corpo talk trying to reduce their workers to simple tropes that can be ‘managed’ into perfect little worker bees.

• The world: At war, on fire, collapsing before our eyes
• The world’s governments: Falling to fascism and right-wing insanity
• People’s rights: Slowly disappearing
• Capitalism level: Late-stage
• The future: Only going to get worse

But yeah, technology is why adolescents are unhappy.
