I don’t care how annoyed this comes off, but if you think 9/11 was an inside job go fuck yourself. You probably also think the moon was fake and Covid is 5G related. There is no point arguing with these idiots, no matter how well you explain the facts they will just pivot to something else. Conspiracy theorists aren’t…

oh, that’s silly. people who reproduce aren’t entitled to any special brand of respect for doing so; you either respect them as you do all fellow people, or you don’t.

I don’t think my decision to not have children has much of an impact on my coworkers. Their decision to have children seems to have an impact on me though. Why do both sides need to think about how we impact the other? They are the ones impacting us, not the other way around.

I mean probably not? I’d say hi if it was necessary but I wouldn’t go out of my way to do so. They’re your partner.

No one outside your immediate family gives a fuck about your kids. And especially not your co-workers.

none of the people ive worked with have seemed shy about this lmao

Yeah, this. I don’t mind if somebody needs to step out of the office to pick their kid up from school, or if kid pops into a video call because they’re a child and they’re being chaotic. But I hate when my coworker uses that as an opportunity to try and force me to interact with the kid. No. If your three year old…

Yeah, I work with a lot of parents. They are sharing. Maybe it’s regional or industry thing. But I hear about people’s kids all the time. I know their names and ages, what sports or musical instruments they play, what video games they are obsessed with, what classes they are failing or excelling in. I don’t mind…

I cant stand those people who constantly have their children attend meetings at work. They’re loud and distracting to the entire team and you waste everyone time. No one wants your kid in their meetings, so it might be fine when you want a meeting to have your kid there, it is not appropriate in most situations. Also,…

Sharing that you’re a parent and how that impacts your work is fine, just as non parents might tell a humorous story about something in their own lives, or have the occasional cat-butt zoom flash. But, parents, *please* don’t overdo it. Literally no one finds your kids as cute as you do, and very few non parents want…

Maybe i should write a book.  Hosting manners for millenials

It’s true! I don’t think they meant to make me feel unwelcome (and I couldn’t leave anyway bc I was with my friend) but that’s what they did because this is the way of my people.

I’ve just become self-aware. I’m nice but I’m not kind. I always pass on my sympathies in the most Canadian way I can with a ‘sorry’ here and there among many other platitudes. But my mind is always saying ‘but please don’t ask me to do something for you’.  I’m an asshole.  dammit.

Rogue One absolutely smokes Solo.

My headcanon is that despite the technology, the culture of Star Wars is mostly one of oral tradition with very little written records (outside of the Jedi, most of which were destroyed); I’m also of the opinion that most people are functionally illiterate, they are able to get by as well as they do mostly thanks to…

If you still vote for McDonald Trump after shit like this than you are a truly terrible person.

Seriously. This sounds like the opposite of everything it should be. For $337 I want to be able to press fewer keys to do the same job. This is absurd on several levels.

Tulsi Gabbard managed to convince a lot of people that she was a progressive; now she’s stopped pretending and just tweets right wing conspiracy theories. It happens.

Granted, it’s a tough show to evaluate on an episode by episode basis, but Zack doesn’t seem to be interested in the show they’re making and is instead fixated on a completely different show that he’d like it to be.
They’ve been dropping breadcrumbs all season that this “perfect” picture of humanity is fallible and…

Eh, I’d strongly suggest reading at least one of the Gospels, if only to do some serious compare-and-contrasts between the Jesus of the Bible, and the Jesus of the Christian Church. I’d suggest Luke, myself; according to Christian tradition, Luke was a physician, and so he tends to ground his Jesus in a baseline sense…
