things that happened yesterday: i had to have an online meeting with my manager (fr*nch)

things that also happened yesterday: i started having this awful cold

the unavoidable conclusion of this is that the fr*nch are disease-ridden rats who will end us all

god, things like this always confuse me. like yes i'm a cis woman, but i use he/him/she/her or hy/hym pronouns when i can (read: online or dnd), crossdress 24/7, have visable facial hair, and honestly i'd go on testosterone if it were free. i was looking at binders recently (because i had them recommended as a heavy duty sports bra and also the silhouettes are just nicer) and the only reason i didn't get one was that my measurements are weird. a lot of my mates keep saying that i should just become a man already and are "waiting for the gender drop" and new people assume i'm already transmasc or nb.

like despite the fact that i'm cis, i am apparently trans by a LOT of people's definitions. idk how i feel about that. it feels like people are trying to limit what woman are and are not allowed to be. there is NOTHING wrong with women who look like me or go into my field or reject the beauty industry or crossdress or date women or anything else. there isn't even anything """un-womanly""" about us, we just don't dignifiy the sexist society in which we live with a response.

but then again, the people who assume i'm trans or nb don't think for a second that they're reinforcing misogynistic ideas about womanhood, they're just trying to be nice

so yeah. idk. i am not by defintion trans in the slightest, but in practice it always seems like i am. sorry if i invalidated the results by classing myself as cis instead of "?????????" lol. i guess theres a reason people treat butches as trans-adjacent

(BUT hexbear is one of the only place i've ever got the idea i can say any thing remotely like this and not get instantly clowned on, so shout out to our trans comrades for making a space thats also cool with miscellaneous freaks lol)

i'm dyslexic, i'm pronouncing things how they're written. its comrade and no amount of 'correcting' me wil ever do shit sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a bunch of shit I'm not qualified for

often these postings are made by HR people who don't actually know shit about the position. my job ad asked for experience in a language that hasn't actually been used in this company for fucking years, i knew that language and then straight up lied about knowing the one we actually use. i apologise if i'm stating the obvious here comrade, but some people in my life don't do this -- 100% apply to shit you're not qualified for and lie about anything that no one can prove. fuck those corpos, good luck

i was a perfectly normal hetrosexual child, then i played portal 1, got the part where glados turns on you, and had to stop playing because i didn't understand wtf i was feeling. skip to like 5 years (and another portal game) later and i was fucking gay. PLUS i have to bear the cross of being into women twice my age. woke video games did this to me smh

my sibling in bhaal you made him worse

yeah because it was objectively the funniest option. all my friends who simped over him hate me for it but i don't see astarion as some heartthrob, i see him as a shitty edgelord whose life i can ruin. i'm romancing him out of fucking hostility. and he has it coming too, so its a victimless crime 🥰

i'm playing dark urge and taking every evil choice. i'm trying desperately to make everyone the worst version of themselves. lae'zel broke up with me because she needs to fully commit herself to the cult leader i convinced her to follow. shadowheart has committed crimes against humanity. if i can't get gale back with his abusive ex i'm going to make him continue the fucking cycle. i got wyll to kill karlach and then he left in disgust at my massacre like 20 minutes later. also scratch is here

this is my first playthrough and i'm very tempted to have it be my last. whenever i talk to other people about BG3 its like they played a whole different fucking game lmao its great

idk. a friend of mine is trying to buy a house soon and he, i, and another friend will be splitting the mortage costs 3 ways. it will be his house at the end of it and he does feel pretty bad about that, but also we'll be paying less to him than we would otherwise renting anywhere else, so yes technically it is landlording and technically we are getting less than him, but also we're better off living with him than we would be otherwise so no one's getting hurt. i feel like situations like this are relatively normal and chill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i would say probably let the other person know tho. if only because it probably will come out eventually just for practical reasons, and you'll look kind of dickish for hiding that. sure, you know you have good intentions, but your roommate doesn't

huh, in my country this is already the law. given our culture of drinking, i really don't think it works lol. like, if a kid is bothering to try to get ahold of non-alchoholic beer they're already having that behaviour modeled to them and thats the part that actually matters

this AI push is so fucking funny. my team has lost 3 people in the last few weeks and none of the positions are hiring replacements because the company is choosing to invest in AI instead, and middle management has finally gone from bemused enthusiasm to barely-restrained panic. watching these tech illiterate types suddenly start to sweat as they realise the reality of the situation (which we have all known for months) is great fun. our AI is useless, commands from on high have told management to change how we operate to pin all our hopes on it, and now the CEO is going to watch them drown in exchange for shareholder value

yeah. honestly i'm just suprised that any of the LoTR films came out while i was alive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

call me predictable but

things that are based: some random person on here months ago who saw that my pronouns are hy/hym and changed their comment to call me a based kyng instead of a king. they edited it back pretty quickly but i saw that comrade and don't worry i thought it was funny i love you

things that are less based: i went to an irl event recently that was very vocally pro-lgbt and had a bunch of pronouns pins. there were a million she/they and he/they, but not a single she/him or he/her, which i think are the only pronouns i'd ever be brave enough to use irl. many such cases smh 😔

i'm hyped as fuck. i go on vacation (camping bc i'm poor) for a week, and when i get back to work someone has resigned, a senior team member has been fired for "disciplinary reasons", and management doesn't know it yet but one of the most useful people here is about to hand in his notice

i don't do shit but i've gone from About To Be Fired to the 2nd most senior person here in the span of a week and i was literally on the other side of the country lmaoooo

i'm not going to say that i'm unfirable or whatever because that sounds like tempting fate, but i'm suddenly relatively certain that this bullshit job will keep paying the rent until my PhD applications go through

step 1: don't make an internet post about it

nah but fr good luck comrade

you can register using something like cum@fart.com

why would you dox me

oof. i didn't see that this was the dunk tank and assumed that this guy got in trouble for fighting for palestine or something based

it was always just the stembros that did the least work. the telling difference between engineers/chemists/mathematicians etc vs computer "scientists" was that we actually went to our lectures and labs lmao

ah shit, you're right, i forgot the legendary putin pivot to furry porn that this grew out of. truly the libs are the wisest of all of us

sonic is, at least partially, russian propaganda

aside from the obvious fact that that's insane, how is something partially propaganda? like, is russia only giving the artist partial money? is the artist 1/36th serbian or some shit? surely something IS propaganda or its not. braindead shit i stg
