…no. He is making the active choice to be malevolent, there is no concept of friendship here. He has friends; I am not one. I have made my boundaries clear, and he has just said that he doesnt feel like respecting them.

Also, this is exactly the kind of overapologetic bs that means I can’t just tell him off, because then Im the bad guy for being mean to someone with an imagined tragic backstory.

There’s one ND guy I have to interact with a lot, who has told me point blank that he enjoys watching me be miserable and seeing me squirm. No amount of trying to be nice has quelled this; in fact, it actuqlly started when I was making an earnest attemptnto be his friend, and he decided to fuck with me to “see what would happen.” I am, as far as I can tell, the only person he does this with. He’s also WILDLY homophobic, but he gets off scot free because most people know he’s ND.

My policy since this shit started is that being ND (even heavily, as in his case) means everyone should be LENIENT, not willing to let fucking anything fly.

To be clear, Im also ND, and most of my friends are too. Its just this one fucking guy, which hey, is the point of this meme!

Oh yeah, it doesnt matter at all. Unless they’re a Philistine (Philadelphia resident)

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood spoiler:

An ocean that isn’t ice cold, an actual water cycle, Bell Labs, Broadway (and off-broadway,) and better food in nearly every category. And how is coffee a west coast thing? I’m not even gonna make claims about east coast coffee being better, because coffee is pretty flatly the same across the country (though it is slightly better at the coasts, just because of freshness and being near ports.)

Best coast? Sorry, but west is worst.

I seeeee, thanks!

Yeah, our team doesnt have any

Also you solved it!

It is an earthing cable, but its a very specific earthing cable

I played through all of Thimbleweed Park yesterday, fantastic time. Point and click adventure game with no real moon logic. Also, the art is fucking gorgeous

Really nice for just seeing stuff. Not the highs or lows of life, just the pleasantly mundane.

Look, I’ll respect drag’s pronouns, but I definitely don’t respect drag. 5 minutes looking through drag’s modlog was more than enough. Here are some highlights:

• Banned from the Trans community on Blahaj for misgendering and another thing we’ll get to shortly (You might notice a recent unban, that’s for Transgender, the OTHER trans sub drag was banned from)
• Banned from this sub and others for trolling
• Banned from a concerning number of subs for encouraging suicide.
• I really want to emphasize that one. Drag has been banned from many communities for ENCOURAGING SUICIDE
• Banned from a number of subs for harassing mods and not being civil

And thats all before we get to the bottom of the first page, which only goes two months back. Once again, drag deserves to have their pronouns respected, but that doesnt mean they deserve any other kind.

This presents one of two possibilities:

A) The anonymous mode is still tied to an account, and so instances could choose to just not show accounts as anonymous, or users could just dig through modlog.

B) The anonymous mode isn’t tied to an account, making effective moderation nigh impossible, and spam very easy.

Neither of these are good.

The Trigger by Arthur C Clarke was my inyroduction to sci fi, and I picked it up in Augustish. Now I’m on an Asimov binge.

That is one hell of a garden path sentence

You can, just not accurately

Acting like the director is the one guy who makes the movie what it is will never make sense to me.

It’s a joke. Hell, I’m American, I just find this incredibly funny.

112,500 a year is plenty of money.

That’s plenty of money
