The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.

“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable

If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.

No no, because it’s FINE that I have unique obstacles no other tech user has. It’s actually a bonding experience that only other Apple users can laugh about. /S

Poor ‘dipstick’ being so high on the list. I wonder how often it’s actually used as a pejorative vs the tool being mentioned in car subreddits.

“Always”? None.

Any time I have found a brand like this, they start enshitifying right after I decide to be loyal to them. If you stop shopping around, they have less incentive to make a good product to create loyal customers.

The problem is capitalism, not the individual companies. Enshitification comes for them all eventually.

Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, they’re treating people poorly because they either expect to be or think they deserve to be treated like that too. They justify their self-hatred by projecting it onto other people.

The answer you’ll hear is, “Well, no, but SOMEONE has to tell them the truth.”

I used to be an incel, but probably not in the way you’d think. I mean it in the original use of the term, that is, I was a queer kid in a small town and there was not a single person in town I was attracted to who was also attracted to me.

I moved to a big city, and things got a bit better but I still had issues in meeting new people with meaningful connections. I expected to just stumble upon the perfect partner that loved me exactly as I was, even though I hated myself.

It wasn’t until someone basically slapped me in the face with the question, “Well, would you want to date YOU?” that it started to make sense. I was spending so much time looking for “the perfect partner” that I forgot to work on myself to become the perfect partner FOR that perfect partner. Once I stopped “looking” for them and instead started working on making myself a better person that things started falling into place.

The only person you have to live with your entire life is yourself, so make sure you love yourself first and people will be attracted to that. No one wants to be with someone who hates themselves and everyone around them.

Like a hot shower - comforting and warm, but also sometimes a bit painful. Relaxing, but also still has ‘work’ involved.

Oh my goooooood. This is so delightful, you can almost see the smirk. Thank you for sharing. <3

And remember, if THEY have thousands of bots that each ‘think independently’ but still end up downvoting your post en masse, then that’s totally fine. But if YOU try to upvote your post with one of your alts so it doesn’t get buried, that’s bannable.

Yep. Elephants are wonderfully kind creatures. With my very limited understanding of elephant body language, it didn’t look like an ‘oh no, im scared’ it was more ‘oh hey little guy, didn’t see ya there. ill get outta your way.’

“Give me your entire life and I’ll give you rewards beyond your wildest dreams… that you can only see after you die.”

One of the greatest grifts in all of history.

C’mon now, I said to not be daft. Think this through for more than 5 seconds.

Call them out TO WHO? Themselves?

“Don’t hate the player, hate the game” is impossible when “the player” is the one creating the rules of “the game”. Don’t be daft.

Yep, conservatives think they aren’t “poor”, just a temporarily disgraced billionaire. They’ll get it back in just a minute. You just watch.

People dislike government handouts to corporations, banks and the already-wealthy. Taxing Billionaires could pay the entire cost of Welfare four times over.

AKA, Billionaires are stealing 4x as much money as all of the ‘Welfare queens’ you try to demonize.

Or the technology for invisibility arrives before time travel so they were there, just undetected. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

It’s your phone’s ‘predictive text’, but if it were trained on the internet.

It can guess what the next word should be a lot of the time, but it’s also easy for it to go off the rails.

D.A.R.E. has been proven to increase drug use, so I don’t think it was just him. The entire ‘scare tactic’ just doesn’t work.

Don’t forget shampoo!

My D.A.R.E. officer made sure we all knew that shampoo is a drug because it’s a chemical compound that physically affects our bodies. I definitely had fewer issues with drugs after learning that I was already a ‘drug user’.

You’re saying that it has nothing to do with marijuana itself that make it a gateway drug, only that we’ve made it illegal.

That means anything we make illegal is a ‘gateway X’.
