For once in my life, I want musk to say more.

Step right up! Step right up! Grab a pitchfork and stab a Nazi!

Still sad they didn’t localize the rap battle(s) for the dub. They did the laziest possible thing where they left it as is and didn’t even bother to subtitle it.

Same and same.

Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…

I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.

Thank you. This is the first pi day since I learned of it that I was reminded early enough in the day that I can get down on some pie.

• Those three guys at the bar that got OP to move multiple times because they could while OP was alone as their partner had wandered off somewhere.
• The neighbors that seem to delight in living near OPs car, which OP simply cannot fix in any meaningful way. Parking slightly further away is somehow just off the table.
• The same neighbors who have young kids who seem to live… above? OP and due to their inconsiderate ways OP can’t get any rest.
• The “hiring manager” who asked for personal details, added them on facebook, rushed them to complete some kind of job application, and then ghosted them for absolutely no reason.

As those defending them… I guess people on social platforms like this one have not been unanimously against these vile beings they find themselves surrounded by.

Am I an asshole?

It’s a more common question than you’d think.

That makes a lot more sense. According to the original post in which I was responding:

“I’m talking about like, service workers and store employees who are miserable and take their anger out on completely innocent people.”

It was from that framework that I made my post. In those settings as an customer/bystander (which would be completely innocent people) it would be very strange to get bullying comments from many of them. Most wouldn’t/don’t care enough about people they literally don’t need to interact with to even bother putting the effort in to bully.

Office work/hierarchy bullying are super common and happen in almost any workplace I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t aware that was the topic. As for how to avoid being bullied in those types of situations… it’s a lot of work. Some of the common ways people handle it are to ignore, confront, joke, or play dumb. I personally mix it up.

But the single best way to deal with bullying is/has/will always be: group up. Bullies generally ‘punch down’, going for people who appear in some way weaker than they are. It falls apart very quickly when there are others around who are willing and able to support you.

It’s more of a bell curve situation. The goal is to look as unoffensive as possible. Anything that can set off the ‘life is unfair’ alarm in people who are already unhappy increases the chances of comments. That includes, looking nice, wearing expensive (or perceived expensive) anything, most well doe makeup usage, nonstandard nailwork (anything more than a simple color).

While this isn’t true for everyone, it is definitely true for those who are willing to toss out comments in the first place…

And I wonder more than that how often you are getting comments. Unless you’re on either extreme end of the bell curve, or in some other way sticking out way more than you should, it’s strange to me that anyone would deal with being bullied.

It’ll be a perfect shitstorm. It’ll also show the horizon of what’s coming from the current administrations current changes.

I’m waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.

Oh no, I can’t believe that Elon would just give shameless content straight to asmon like that… Wait stop, don’t make a video about getting unchecked on Twitter because the owner got mad and unchecked you tor calling him out on his silly video game stuff. I’m sure the video won’t at all be a viral hit…

In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.

As much as I love the original, I must also say for a fist fight I’d rather have a slightly more system of a down feel.

Thankfully there’s always Andre to fill in the gaps.

How loose we talking? Untied shoe loose? Pants a few sizes too big loose? A triple xl on a 20kg kid loose?

depends heavily on the recipe. Due to my “enthusiasm” for pasta in general I prefer to make a much smaller portion, which is very easy to do with a lasagna in a mug, the only real downside is that the noodles need to be pliable first.

As much as I love lasagna, the noodles are the worst part of preparing the dish. They’re awkwardly large and heavy (for a noodle), and God help you if you overcook them even a bit as they will disintegrate under their own weight.

Used vaping to quit smoking.

Weened off the nicotine then stop using the vape.

Got hit with cravings hard and dealt with them.

Been three years now. Any and all money I would have saved on cigarettes has instead funded my other half’s addiction to take out food. I’m more broke than I ever was before.
