[15:23:29] @abaddriverlol as a full time German guy, what’s your thoughts on this here story https://www.reddit.com/r/linguistics/comments/1qgwc7/to_all_who_havent_yet_read_mark_twains/ [16:36:50] wug spotted [16:36:58] https://tenor.com/view/wug-meme-cube-transition-kinemaster-gif-12534274232370939778 [16:37:44] https://tenor.com/view/wug-my-beloved-wugs-linguistics-language-gif-27393587 [17:16:54] [1/2] do you remember [17:16:54] [2/2] 21st night of september [17:32:34] no :sadge: [18:33:25] no πŸ˜” [18:38:09] I read Animal Farm by George Orwell today [18:49:39] ah the days when you could write a fun wholesome book about some animals who run their own farm [18:49:54] everything these days has politics injected into it [18:50:39] I remember when voting wasn't political 😠 [18:51:11] my existence is political ✨ [18:51:57] We read animal farm in like first grade idk what my teacher was on [18:52:28] idk that pig guy sure is a pig [18:53:28] That was an awful book [18:53:32] Play was much better [18:53:58] xcuse me, I believe you mean the glorious vanguard that will usher all the animals into a new glorious utopia [18:54:15] yeah, right, utopia [18:54:20] in this economy? [18:54:26] lucky if you even get some damn oats [18:54:39] I mean, uh, I want to read the classics to say I have [18:56:08] I want to read 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World as well [18:57:31] those are just a romance novel and a cute little story about firefighters /s [18:57:39] (haven't read BNW) btw [18:57:50] I am kinda resircted to "can I find it on the Internet Archive" [18:57:53] real shit is at Orwell's Homage to Catalonia [19:04:24] bnw is pretty good, i think it might be better than 1984 [19:12:42] I mean you could just look up epubs online [19:14:32] also some of these things are public domain, e.g. George Orwell died more than 70 years ago which is how long UK copyright lasts [19:14:53] not a lawyer though I could be wrong idk [19:33:42] i may be a ✨ terrorist ✨ [19:34:04] and a terribly good scapegoat [19:34:35] quick! forget about the economy! look at this manly man going to a bathroom! [19:35:05] or worse yet! he's doing a sports! [19:35:08] i fucking love gender neutral bathrooms [19:36:09] I don't quite get why people have issues with gender neutral bathrooms [19:36:10] Conservatives never ever ever gave a shit about women's sports, they very clearly always, and still do say they're shit and irrelevant [19:36:28] Like half the uni toilets were gender neutral [19:36:31] they also love throwing dildos around [19:36:32] the fact any average person took the bait was insane [19:36:47] I can't still really comprehend that was a wedge issue at all [19:36:52] the average person does not know what gender is tbh [19:37:08] my favourite orange guy said they suck so obviously i must go beat them into pulp on the streets [19:37:51] https://qnews.com.au/throwing-dildos-at-wnba-players-is-misogyny-masquerading-as-prank-culture/ [19:38:38] There is absolutely no acceptable culture where that's a joke [19:38:51] but like in the US coverage of that was sore losers crying on Fox News about how they unfairly lost to this "man" in like swimming or whatever, and it turned out even if they had won it'd have been irrelevant to how they'd have performed on the overall competition or whatever [19:39:01] men's locker room ig [19:39:17] like even if you didn't know what gender was that should have looked pathetic and whiny to everyone [19:40:03] lmfao [19:40:09] yeah like they cared about facts [19:40:19] if they did, we wouldn't have this problem [19:40:27] No just no. Boys will be boys is not acceptable. I will die on this hill [19:40:42] ah crap... i fell into it... [19:40:47] sorry, didn't notice >_< [19:40:51] Lol [19:41:15] Perks of living in the US you know all the excuses πŸ˜‚ [19:41:29] we have homophobia and transphobia at schools here [19:41:30] Boys will be boys is used an excuse for far too many things [19:41:32] it's "fun" [19:41:45] love getting stared at when i'm just eating my bloody lunch [19:41:54] It's 5am [19:41:55] But not nearly as bad as here? [19:42:11] few people have been a dick to my face tbh [19:42:18] i was referring to a few weeks ago [19:42:43] Lol I was gonna say I’d probably stare at you too if you ate lunch at 5AM πŸ˜‚ [19:44:11] someone also said to me that a trans man with a trans woman is "straight but with extra steps", and mentally i'm like "bitch, i'm trans... and why do you care?" [19:44:39] The latter part should be key there [19:45:04] Besides the phobias aside there, I have actually never considered this dynamic, and yk what hell yeah [19:45:09] Like fuck off and stop being a judgemental asshole towards others [19:45:30] With added being a transphobic judgmental asshole [19:45:37] meanwhile, i went to the city in a cute lavender top + black nails, and no one gave a fuck lmfao [19:46:17] i wonder if he'll be a terf [19:46:24] I always remind me people that actors wear makeup and sometimes even do nails! Even the uber straight ones [19:47:07] no but they're doing it ironically [19:47:13] would be amusing to hear some terf rhetoric from him, while knowing that a couple months ago, he couldn't stop saying "get in the kitchen" [19:48:14] People don’t realize that beyond sexuality and gender, social norms are just generally changing [19:50:17] wonder if i should walk in to school w nail polish to see how everyone reacts [19:50:50] this is totally not because i'm too lazy to use nail polish remover today [19:51:05] Even though my college is pretty chill the only gender stuff I ever really did was wear a necklace [19:52:32] Why not? 🀷🏼 [19:52:43] Maybe I’m just old, but fuck em [19:53:17] I gave up on caring what people thought about me years ago [19:53:25] school uniform policy [19:53:44] I can show them where to shove that policy [19:54:09] where progesterone goes [19:54:15] πŸ˜‚ [19:54:29] i mean since australia is upside down land i guess you would put it where the sun shines [19:54:41] ngl partially same tbh [19:54:49] https://tenor.com/view/australia-kangoroo-flipped-down-under-gif-8562677137303281559 [19:54:56] i let my mannerisms shine through lol [19:55:17] Claire is this image right side up for you [19:55:29] yeah?

[20:03:34] colourer nail polish [20:05:53] They need to grow a pair [20:06:34] at least their policy applies to all genders lol [20:06:46] I do not even go to school, that was years ago [20:06:50] i do not have the balls to go to school in a dress though [20:06:55] I do not paint my nails as I am lazy and it chips off [20:07:08] That sounds like the idiots at my school who used to say you couldn't take jumpers off on the corridor without permission [20:07:18] lol what [20:07:21] lmfao, lmao [20:07:31] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs069dndIYk [20:07:35] do you remember [20:07:43] Why do people care so much about trans people? Like, why not just accept a transwomen is a women or a transman is a man? [20:07:58] ikr????? [20:08:04] I just feel the world would be a lot better if we just accepted it [20:08:05] Ye lol [20:08:19] You could only take your jumper off on the corridor when leadership decided it was warm [20:08:20] oh 100% [20:08:27] but some people insist on being dumbasses [20:08:33] With me, I may not even notice you are transgender (you sau you are a female, I guess you are a female) [20:09:03] can't wait for the infamous bad-faith question of "what is a female" [20:09:18] https://tenor.com/view/tommy-wiseau-love-each-other-the-room-world-would-be-a-better-place-gif-11523379 [20:09:47] :3 [20:09:48] it is so tiring to be hateful so i decied to be loveful instead [20:09:58] I care more about my chicken in my hand or my sushi then what is beween someones' legs [20:10:20] ok true i would kill if someone tried to take my sushi [20:10:58] i would want to kill, but realistically, i would be too shocked or afraid to [20:11:09] I had a realization around the time I was 19 that being grumpy and bitter was ruining my life so I decided to try to be a better person and tbh it’s worked out fabulously. I love the world in spite of its many flaws [20:11:54] I try, but some kid ran out in front of me today ijn a world food shop and I bumped into them and knocked them over as I was more focused on the chicken [20:12:04] awh [20:12:09] And they was running around liike they was on sugar [20:12:31] whenever i get asked that question my answer is usually either "someone who identifies as such" or "fuck off and die" depending on my relationship with said person [20:12:47] Yes, I hyperfocused on chicken for some reason [20:12:59] today I will make love easier by turning off twitter and the news [20:13:09] honestly specifically uspol cause who tf cares [20:13:14] And I dislike the news, too doom and gloom [20:13:17] i can't wait to get into a civil discussion about "biological sex" [20:13:28] Yeah I quit most social media [20:13:32] you mean the one i have with your mom? [20:13:38] teehee~ [20:13:42] I use Nextdoor to talk about my town's lack of shops [20:13:45] I keep Reddit around but only post in non political subs [20:13:55] I’m scared to check Nextdoor [20:14:06] One of my neighbors is a white supremacist [20:14:07] And to pay attn to Danni who saves swans and other birds [20:14:11] Mute them [20:14:18] reject twitter embrace mastodon [20:14:36] "Danni, bird-saving vegan" is my mental nickname for that person [20:14:44] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1062173890081726487/1419168080105439264/caption.gif?ex=68d16f85&is=68d01e05&hm=3dc4f9a7a22094c4f822d38cb813776511136d703e07e8148e57f82d9ffda8be& [20:15:06] I notice my naugers talok about cats a lot [20:15:42] You can mute people on Nextdoor so you cannot see their posts [20:16:00] unlike discord [20:16:08] :3 [20:16:10] replying to this [20:16:16] fuck [20:16:26] :3 [20:16:39] there we go :P [20:16:48] Good for the health [20:17:04] only social media I need is phorge 😍 [20:17:19] email :3 [20:17:30] I love cats. [20:17:31] Also, I spend a lot of time muting shops-and-money accounts and "show less like this" for a lot of stuff I dislike/wanted to get out of my feed [20:18:00] I just let my "for you" page go nuts. [20:18:09] Today I got e-girls. [20:18:13] Tomorrow? Who knows. [20:18:17] I really do spend time pruning my Nextdooor feed like a rosebush [20:18:24] Nah [20:18:26] Email sucks [20:18:30] deltachat [20:18:30] I know yesterday I got "Alpha vs beta male" content. [20:18:31] Wait until you have a work inbox [20:18:34] Which was also weird. [20:18:47] I rather have an email than a meeting. [20:18:58] My garden is my Nextdoor feed, my Reddit Feed, my Discord servers.... [20:19:05] All meetings should be an email unless somebody is actively dying. [20:19:09] I'd rather have no emails and no meetings [20:19:10] Or died. [20:19:14] I woukd use Discord [20:19:14] Some discussions are useful [20:19:20] [1/2] i have some familiarity [20:19:20] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1419417734688673862/Screenshot_20250922-061841.png?ex=68d1af47&is=68d05dc7&hm=9d19db9b1f609ff10d4f4c67a443fbc094cadce809641e23bc652ef813bc23be& [20:19:21] Most meetings are pointless [20:19:25] Amen. [20:19:33] I mean that's just Skye [20:19:39] Meetings are useless. [20:19:41] true [20:19:47] And a waste of time. [20:19:50] Most are without a point [20:20:03] Some meetings do have use if people actually stuck to an agenda [20:20:08] a meeting about the pharmacokinetics of estradiol is more useful tbh [20:20:26] I hate my house meetings that I am "suggested" to addtend, lots of drama [20:20:27] Most meetings are just the big boss got an idea and decided to harass people about it. [20:20:29] Was once in a meeting with another country and they actually stuck to their agenda [20:20:38] "I got a new idea. That we'll improve this company." [20:20:41] Also known as, [20:20:48] Tbh I would prefer people to use Discord to talk to me, even my support workers [20:20:50] Got through a 3 hour meeting in about 40 minutes and it was actually informative [20:20:50] "I got an idea but y'all gonna execute it." [20:21:14] Also known as, pondering or speaking random shit that hoping it make sense (it doesn't). [20:21:26] I love it when people use keywords. [20:21:30] That's a management problem [20:21:35] It just shows how stupid they are. [20:21:41] Management is always a problem. [20:21:49] Yes [20:21:59] They come up with HUGE new ideas with all the fancy keywords like AI and shit. [20:22:04] And then expect people to do it. [20:22:19] With no money or staff? [20:22:29] always. [20:22:42] Ah yes. Execute huge big new idea but no money. [20:22:55] Even better! They expect YOU to use YOUR MONEY to EXECUTE THEIR IDEA. [20:23:00] I relized with me and my wiki, if I come up with a big idea, I have to do it myself [20:23:14] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1419418717707702448/FB_IMG_1757302034308.jpg?ex=68d1b031&is=68d05eb1&hm=4d242b267529e08457d79c9898197bebf21d74d9b92375eab22b942d566b8865& [20:23:17] You should never use your own money for work [20:23:24] you're welcome [20:23:29] That's what I'm saying! [20:23:30] Eg I spent hours with my writer categories thing, and the darn templates [20:23:45] And yes, that sounds strange that they would want you to use your own money [20:23:53] I've never met a manager whose expected me to use my own money [20:23:59] We have an expenses process for a reason [20:24:11] In Freelancing if a client wanted a freelancer to pay with their own money for a job it should be reported as a scam [20:24:28] If any at work is putting you out of pocket, you should look at your contract and local laws carefully [20:24:42] I uh, work in journalism. They expect us to rent equipment and hire freelancers. Technically there's payout but they want you to pay it first then put it in the system to be reimbursed. [20:25:03] It's a government-owned news agency so... I'm also technically a government employee. [20:25:06] Ye they shouldn't be putting you in an unreasonable position though [20:25:23] Expecting the accountant to reimburse you in timely manner. [20:25:24] If it's going to put you in a problematic position, ask for a cash advance [20:25:45] I'm a government employee and we pay expenses out twice a week [20:25:46] It is like expecting the ocean to dry up. [20:25:50] Man... [20:25:57] I wish ours are as efficient. [20:26:00] Most you should ever have to wait is 8 days [20:26:08] Ours are just having their merry days on people's suffering. [20:26:49] Ye that's not fair [20:27:08] If my work did that, I'd be asking for a cash advance [20:36:10] @elitericefarmer we even get virtual credit cards to pay for hotels [20:40:08] We also get those. But somehow. The only thing we never get paid properly is paying for locations and freelancers. [20:40:29] But hotel? Travel expense? Always given cash in advance. [20:40:37] Which is basically a company card. [20:50:14] Ain't they the bigger expenses? [20:59:07] Yup. [20:59:45] Freelancers and paying for location (you know. Cause you gotta pay to shoot photos or video in a cafe or interview people nowadays)
