I feel some kind of warning is deeply important, as it allows people to decide to skip a post instead of reading it in detail. Personally, I prefer to be given a chance to gird my brain against the potential onslaught of feelings that a serious, dark topic post might bring up. If I am ready to read and engage with a post of that nature, often a productive discussion is had as a result. As for general Trigger Warnings, I appreciate those as they activate my automated mental hardening responses and allow me to read without being overly concerned or stressed.

Thanks, I hate it…Doing anything they can to normalize aberrant behavior like a lack of boundaries between employees and the corporation is pretty disgusting. Like ma’am you make loads of money, the average worker will never see that type of money in their lifetime. Work-life balance is crucial to being able to maintain energy to perform well at work, so many studies show that. She can’t be bothered to admit she’s a workaholic with no boundaries and is trying to conflate violating employee/corp boundaries as being flexible with one’s time. This is a cursed article in my opinion. Useful for getting insight into those strange exec thoughts, though…

Interesting, Mamdani isn’t above manipulating idiotic narcissists to get the American people what they need…I trust that Mamdani knows what he is doing. As all of his actions indicate up to this point, he wouldn’t just abandon people to become just another MAGA simp. He’s a competent lad who’s going to go far in politics.

I haven’t met anyone I’d consider truly evil, sometimes a bit messed up in the head…There are people I unconsciously stay outside the orbit of, though, for some reason I can’t fully put into words. It could be for any reason, probably social anxiety…

I think you shut down all the future disrespect that would be coming your way, with the level of response you chose. It’s a lot more tactful than I would’ve done in that situation. As penis size is literally a biological dice roll that all men face upon being born.

System76 computers are USA made and only available online (they ship to a select few countries you won’t be able to find them in stores.

Hmm, yet another feature to disable…I should hopefully be back on Android by then, however.

I use Thunder, the latest stable version for iOS. It works pretty well, and I don’t have issues with the app itself. It has a nice and customizable interface that is quick to parse. It is a paid app (I made the purchase, as I like supporting developers).

Yeah, I amended my comment…I get overzealous when it comes to defending personal autonomy and free will.

As a young lad, I knew with certainty and after great contemplation how solid my desires were; one of mine was to never have kids, as I know myself well enough that I love my time alone and freedom to do as I pleased without being tied down by children. Other young men can know, if they are given the freedom and space to contemplate their decisions; to examine their thoughts and reasons for wanting to do something before committing to said decision. He’s an adult by law, as long as he has weighed the positives and negatives of this decision…It is his to make.

I don’t think it’s too young…If you don’t want kids at this point in your life and know that this desire to not have children will persist, get the vasectomy. Having to deal with an unwanted pregnancy is far more of a hassle than getting a vasectomy! Based on what you’ve said, it seems like you’ve thought about this enough to make the decision.

I’ve always had a stove top kettle, there was no reason to boil water in the microwave for tea. Up until a few years ago, I did not have a microwave. I prefer the even temperature of water boiled in a kettle.

I do! Being reasonably accurate as possible when typing is something that I value! It helps, as sometimes I am a goose on the loose, and don’t proofread my sentences before posting. The obvious errors are at least caught before they become final.

They are flooding the zone, there are countless pro-AI generated content instances. It’s like playing whack-a-mole, I often downvote obvious and human-altered slop (it’s all slop to me). Unfortunately, there are going to be images that have positive votes despite the general dislike of said AI-slop, especially because I tend to block those slop instances these days. Naturally, most of it is objectifying women (something I don’t want to see anyway) so those will naturally get a lot of votes because people weren’t thinking with the right head.

Whimsical
