The mooooore yoooou knoooow

@Ghost said in RL things I love:

Diwali at work today. One of my favorite times of the year.

My Indian brothers and sisters bring out all the foods, the smells, the music, the dancing, and the fashion of India and my PurpleStateKnownForRacism office embraces the fuck out of it. I got a lot of cool people and cowboy as fuck execs walking around in Indian finery with their third eyes marked.

Diwali is such a cool holiday.

Follow up. Just listened to an Indian guy make "kind of" cultural appropriation jokes about white people wearing Indian garb (that was either sent from Indian employees to those specific employees or brought back from India as gifts).

By "kind of" I mean those jokes where someone says stuff like "hahaha you ruin everything JUST KIDDING HAHAHA you were adopted JustKidding"

Sigh. I hope this doesn't become a thing. Time will tell if the guy was just joking but the people on that conference call who got "kind of" joked at sure got off that call awkwardly.

@Ganymede You make a hell of a point.

@Wretched if you're going for data entry, all of the QA, code-checking, app review, wiki editing, UNIX command throwing, etc could all be written as positives in a resume or interview.

"I work with some of my friends on online UNIX systems, which was a lot of data entry and code checking, so I have a lot of attention to detail and am very comfortable in an environment where information has to be accurate and correctly reviewed."

While it's not much more than introductory, technically maintaining a DB is a form of data custodianship.

MU is entry level UNIX experience. I'm a medium-level UNIX ops guy and I'd absolutely accept that in an interview as introductory experience.

Why? Because all MU are/have been built on heavily modified UNIX shells. MU users are effectively playing games on UNIX/LINUX systems issuing aliased commands.

@Tinuviel Fun Fact: In ancient Rome they used to sell bottled gladiator sweat and sell it to people as an aphrodesiac.

#EtsyStoreIdea

@Auspice hot guy sweat that is loaded with combat pheromones oozed out with the SOUL OF A WARRIOR who was in the midst of some pretty hairy FOR HONOR matches, for the record.

Warrior sweat > Regular Swamp Ass

But definitely tortilla chips.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

@Ghost To be fair, the smell of the bathroom isn't what you'll be smelling if you're givi... I've said too much.

Oh then in my case it definitely smells like tortilla chips and beef brisket.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

but are also at the same time giving blowjobs in airport bathrooms.

at least go somewhere clean to give blowjobs, jesus.

I assure you that my bathroom is way cleaner than the chair I sit in while playing Ghost Recon and Dark Souls.

One smells like lavender. The other smells like tortilla chips and hot guy.

Let it be said that if you're going to take a stance as gatekeeper or arbiter of people's behavior that you make sure that you're not a perpetrator of similar behaviors.

While I agree with this... in theory, it's not very practical. Similar to the 'let he who is without sin throw the first stone.' If we didn't "take a stance" as it were against behaviours we were also occasionally guilty of, then we'd never get anywhere.

Hah. No, I get ya. I'm just being more general like...

"If you publicly hate slut shaming, then don't slut shame on the down-low in private whispers."

Kind of in the same vein as politicians in the states legislating against freedoms for LGBTQ+ but are also at the same time giving blowjobs in airport bathrooms.

Yeah.

Let it be said that if you're going to take a stance as gatekeeper or arbiter of people's behavior that you make sure that you're not a perpetrator of similar behaviors. Also let it be said that if you're going to share stories/private information shared with you in confidence that your own closet lacks skeletons.

Seems like a good life rule.

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

I hate how it's been roughly a year and I still get messages from people about my sex life that I shared with someone on this board in confidence.

How has everyone around here enjoyed knowing about that btw?

Honestly, not nearly as much as all of the other stuff I've learned about other people's personal lives who shared that stuff in confidence with the same person.

If I wasnt clear in my response, the answer is "yes, I heard about it from that person, but enjoyed it not as much as all of the other stuff..."

..................

My wedding reception is this Saturday. Two of my friends aren't coming, and I just found out why in a Discord of our RL, local friends because they asked if someone could dog-sit for them.

They're going to a fucking LARP.

Seriously, screw you guys.

Oh shit, I'm sorry.

Punt those motherfuckers.

Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan?

I'm loving it. I wish a dozen games like this came out in a year. I LOVE what they're doing tying a central character like "The Curator" into the game series as a narrator and am excited as fuck for the next one, Little Hope.

Proof humanity has gone down in value since I was a kid.

At the grocery store:

STUFF IN LOCKUP (Need a clerk to get for you by using keys) circa 1985: Cigarettes. The top shelf booze. The rug cleaning machine.

STUFF IN LOCKUP CIRCA 2019, additions: Baby formula, condoms, pregnancy tests, baby formula, Tide pods.

Saw this last night at the grocery store. Wtflol.

You buy a house.

Your new homeowner state becomes public record.

YOU GET ON EVERY FUCKING CALL LIST KNOWN TO MANKIND

So excited for this Star Wars. Haters gonna hate. I'm loving it.

I want another GI-Joe movie or Fast/Furious movie, but only if Michael Skarn is a character in it.

Clarification. Are you looking to recreate Margo/Elliot or just use their PBs?
