A wiki to store the same old fight summaries, played by lists, MU* lists.
Who would write the summaries? Would it be objective? Does it work for late comers who might want to debate things others happen to have seen before?
I will write all the summaries. They will be written in the style of the MSB Cliques thread. All my inherent biases will remain intact.
@Ganymede No (as in, I also don't think he was making jokes about abuse). But I mean, we could have a whole debate that goes into making light /of/ something, or making jokes in a way that does lighten the heaviness of a thing, even if that's not what you were making light of. He has apologized and is trying to move on, so I won't get into the debate. Today.
@Ghost I don't think you were trying to make a jab at her, by asking about what kind of tequila the woman was given. I do think you were making light of something that affects a lot of people on this forum, in a way that lightens it, when it doesn't directly affect you. So, yeah, that is offensive and hurtful, to me. Hence why I posted.
I added this only because of this post following, not because I am looking to dogpile. It sounds as if you don't know if it was offensive. It was.
@Roz Right, that's why I'm stepping back before it turns into a thing.
I'm not looking to make a comment I made in the spirit of sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying to turn into myself or anyone being an outlet for the justifiable anger that should be felt from seeing that kind of abuse taking place.
My joke wasn't intended to make light of the abuse, I didn't make that clear, and in the interest of keeping things copacetic I'm stepping back from this thread for a bit.
I apologize if my joke, intention or not, was offensive to @Cupcake or anyone.
Carry on and have a better day. This week has been a nightmare so far.
Sometimes making jokes about a pervasive culture that is literally hurting and killing people is not the right choice to make.
It doesn't help the problem. We don't need to laugh about it. Not wanting it lessened with humor isn't a high horse.

In the mean time, I'll live in limp-city for a few days.
That's what he said.
In all seriousness, hope you recover quickly.
@Paris Oh god, thank you. I kept thinking about posting a Shout in the Dark for you guys, but I didn't want it to feel like I was being overly dramatic or anything. I am glad you are both ok.
NECRO. I just wanted to brag that I am almost a diamond player, guys. Through all the toxic teams, harassing boys, people who couldn't find the payload-- Almost there.

I took a new position within my company.
It doesn't pay any better. In fact, once I factor in commuting, I'll make less.
But it'll take me off a project that has been stressing me out and had me fighting outright quitting day after day (sometimes hour after hour).I thought I did the right thing, because it'll have me working out of their local office. I'll meet people! I'll be doing something new!
But I haven't worked out of the house in 7 years.
I start on Tuesday and I'm so anxious about it that I'm sick.If you are as charming and intelligent in person as you are online, the people in that office will be floored by you.
Here's cheering for your success from your BSG buddies! ^.^ ^.^. ^.^ Go Recon!
She is! You'll do great, Auspice.
@Cupcake I do. I've been struggling to get care though, for a couple of months. All of the therapists/psychiatrists in my network nearby are not accepting new patients, ever. So I am going through my PCP just to get some antidepressants, but my brain is a lot more complicated and fucked up and it really shouldn't be treated with just antidepressants. I don't really have that choice right now, though.
I am going through this weird period of depression and anxiety where I find it really difficult to drag myself into work, compounded by daily headaches and often, migraines. All of my energy seems to be like, sweating out of me, and I can practically see it leaving my body but I can't stop it.
It doesn't help that my job sucks and my house is a mess and just, bleh. I feel like there has to be some way to get my life together, but man, having the energy to do that seems impossible and then I feel worse.
One time I fell asleep in the middle of Captain America during a vacation with @Roz, @saosmash, @Tez, and @Tat. When I fell asleep, the villain was just a normal Nazi. I woke up and very sleepily asked-- "But why is his face red??" To which they tried to explain it had always been red. But it wasn't when I fell asleep!
@Ghost You can't just blame everything on me, friend-o.
Ok, but now you all have to tag @Roz in every post since she wanted the thread.
(I AM KIDDING. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT. SHE WILL MURDER ME.)
@Kanye-Qwest that makes me RL angry.
I won't even go into my team. It's bad.
@WTFE I'd suggest not winding up in management. It never seems worth it, to me.
I have to admit I get snarky as shit about free food at work. Not about what they serve, but just about it in general. But that is what happens when your company pays you 20k less than your regional/career average and then trots out free food as a 'look at all we do for you'!
That's nice.
Like, I am so serious. I don't even know if I can make it work the way I want to. I am using flexing elements to display a customizable screen where people can select their own cards to show up in certain orders on a table grid. I use a table to display and make it fill the whole page. Except that /sometimes/ they might open a new card and that-- is where I get stuck. Because now I need to no longer fill the screen but also have a scroll to see the new stuff? Idk. Thank you for being my unwitting audience as I try to figure this problem out.
