I mean fark.com is still kicking, last I checked. I feel like some of these old sites are the web equivalent of BIFL products.

Yeah, if I leak it’s usually some kind of liquid.

The problem is that homelessness is, weirdly, more complicated than just giving people homes. It’s also about mental health issues (many of which we don’t yet have the ability to effectively treat), community, purpose, and a ton of other things.

It’s almost like everyone would benefit from a support system or safety net put in place by some community funded entity that would have the capability of putting those systems in place.

The thing that’s always gotten me about reincarnation is the lack of memory of past lives. Even if it were true and some small part of a person lives on, is it functionally different than a permanent death if they retain nothing from their past lives?

Do you care if others see you as an asshole? Remove morality and other social obligations from it, if you don’t like someone, you don’t like someone. If spending time with this person upsets you, don’t. Hell, even if you force yourself to go there’s a chance he’ll get under your skin and you’ll end up causing a problem.

I’d guess “To whom it may concern” would be the most gender neutral/inclusive way to rephrase that.

I’m either too drunk for this or not drunk enough for this. Either way, you seem like a fun person to argue with.

Are we talking people who have had their gonads removed and don’t have any hormone replacement? Are we talking people born completely without any system for producing sex related hormones? Are we including around/ace people? I feel like there’s a lack of definition but I’m not 100% sure it matters.

Not being part of this group, I’m just going to take a shot in the dark and say it depends on the person. You don’t necessarily need to feel romantic attraction to a person to empathize with characters in a fictional story. You also don’t even need to empathize with the characters to find the concept interesting. Just like folks who do have sexual or romantic feelings, some will enjoy those types of stories and some won’t.

To be fair, most people who try to copy success fail.

Thoughts like this are likely how The Church of Euthanasia got started.

What is your issue with DEI?

I mean some of them did, probably. It’s a diverse group, can’t really lump everyone together outside of being not straight and/or not cis.

Would I know it’s my last day? If so, skip work and take a nap. If not, work then take a nap.

Honestly, the best you can do is try a bunch of stuff and research the company if you like it. It also really depends on how you define an ethical company. Even if you remove capitalism from it, if you look into deeply enough you’re going to find that every company has done something unethical or works with an unethical party within their supply chain.

Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

Honestly, I mostly use it to find local shows. I haven’t found a good replacement for finding that kind of thing.

Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!

An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend

That depends on management, however it definitely could benefit the company.

I think the biggest issue is that a bunch of people are, probably unexpectedly, out of a job.

I don’t own a cloak, but I’m 90% confident that they’re more convenient than coats/jackets
