it is just gender essentialism / toxic masculinity / “boys have short hair and girls have long hair” ridiculous gender norms.

Yeah that was a lot of it. I had long hair in the late 00’s/early 10’s and maybe it’s because I lived in a more conservative area in the US, but I used to get lots of stares, hateful comments. threats, slurs. etc aimed at me. I think the weirdest was cis women coming up to unprompted and telling me they “hated me” because I had long hair? I think it was meant in jest in a kind of “I’m jealous” way, but it happened so many times and weirded me out that I would’ve just preferred being called a slur.

the weird “seed oils are the source of all evil” shit that’s been astroturfed since that one dude went on a joe rogan podcast

There isn’t even an actual “non-emergency” number you can call that I’ve seen folks mention, at least in my city. They end up sending the police anyway.

I used to live next to this family that would scream and fight every other weekend. Tried talking to them but they got belligerent when confronted. Landlord wouldn’t do shit about it. One night, it sounded like someone was thrown down the stairs and lots of screaming and shouting. Could hear someone threatening personal harm. Called a “non-emergency” number for a wellness check. The first question they asked me is “What race are they?” I was caught off guard by the question and after a few seconds they repeated the question. “Uh, I guess white?” I said. Hung up the phone and literally within 5 minutes there were police knocking on their door, guns drawn. Luckily, nothing escalated. Come to find out the neighbors had a daughter with BPD that refused medication and got violent. I was just tryna make sure everyone was alright and they send dudes with guns blazing ready to empty out entire magazines into a family.

blue belt ass mentality

In 2001 I had a few albums on rotation: Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler, System of A Down - Toxicity, Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory, Gorillaz - S/T

Hey real quick what’s your opinion of trans men

I remember seeing the “all he/hims on this website are misogynists” struggle session and this question made a lot of folks do levels of “well um er what i mean was uh” so maybe we’ll get the same argument that inevitably devolves into them doing a transphobia by making an exception for trans men

Wished I would’ve waited till my brain was fully developed before I ever tried it but I’m kinda neutral on it.

playing a game but shaking my head in disapproval the whole time so people know i’m not a gamer

This sucks ass, dude. Like, what are you even trying to convey? What am I supposed to be feeling when I look at this? It just looks like a teenager’s bedroom wall but if instead of band posters or magazine cutouts it was as if the kid’s only exposure to the outside world consisted of pictures of some restaurant’s ceo.

Sometimes I hope it’s 80’s rock like Dokken or Ratt or something but it never is. Or if it is, it’s dogshit like Motely Crue or Poison.

Explaining the economy to a peasant: “Imagine a goose”

One of the worst parts of my job is after I finish a task and hand it off to the tester, I have to start fielding questions like “what would happen if a customer just straight up took a shit on their computer and wiped with the mouse? i think you need to implement a use case for that. I know it’s 10 mins to 5 but let’s jump on a call and discuss all of these hypothetical scenarios that might break your feature”

please just tell me if it does the thing it’s supposed to do

Doing okay so far at this vegan shit

Made a slop bowl with white rice, ground tofu, onions, sweet potatoes, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cilantro with a vegan tzaziki and hummus sauce.

I am gonna eat this everyday.

My retirement plan to buy $20 worth of scratch offs every week is going well. Won $50. I just gotta win like a million bucks at a certain point and then I’m gonna take out a 6 figure loan and buy a one-way plane ticket to like Vietnam or somewhere and just live the rest of my life there

Anything other than pixel art graphics in a video game is bourgeoisie. Ray tracing? I barely even know what that is but I know it’s reactionary and against party lines.

My current one isn’t terrible and is probably the “best” I’ll get in that I’m left alone for the most part. It also helps it’s remote and that I only share like 5% of my personality and otherwise keep to myself. After some previous bad experiences with bosses/co-workers, I never actually am myself at work anymore, just this sort of shell automaton that will sometimes let a small sliver of personality slip out - just enough to keep me likeable and left alone.

I put in a maintenance request with my apartment complex because I noticed a brown stain developing on the ceiling that indicates a water leakage. It’s been getting larger over the past few weeks with all the rain we’ve been having.

Dawg, they sent someone over to just spray paint it white. I mean, look, I’m gonna be out of here in a year, but you think these fucking parasites would at least want to maintain their own property so they can charge the next sucker an exorbitant amount of money.

I miss working at grocery stores because I would steal diapers and formula and donate it to food banks and food not bombs.

Always had the weird handful of coworkers at those places that took joy in stopping shoplifters like they owned the fucking business or it was coming directly outta their check or something
