it feels like old reddit

As someone who exclusively used old.reddit.com, this isn’t actually a bad thing.

Also apps for the mobile experience, and I want to say alexandrite for the desktop experience?

It’s definitely worth pointing out that some styles have taken over 20 years to cycle back in, so I also definitely think the former is more practical haha

Fair enough. I made a wrong assumption about where you came from and was inappropriately hostile, my apologies. Hope you have a good weekend!

…yeah afaik there’s pretty good evidence that trans folks wouldn’t be culturally eliminated under the Biden administration. Do you disagree with that assumption?

And you’ve misunderstood me. I don’t care that you voted third party. As I mentioned, in some contexts that could be viewed as admirable. I’m not trying to convince you to vote Democrat.

Just don’t puff out your chest about having clean hands when, given the single most pronounced choice we have in determining government for the next cycle, you prioritized trying to maintain a clean conscience over keeping Trump out of the white house.

How about the start of two genocides?

You CAN argue that, but could you look yourself in the mirror and say that’s a good faith argument when you don’t know how I voted for the last 50 years? That’s a good sign that your argument is simply deflection, by making up a strawman you’re hoping to avoid admitting that you had a role in getting trump elected. Your comment here indicates that you know you played a part, but I agree with you, the Democratic party put up a shit candidate and played a much larger part. My heart fell when Kamala indicated no policy changes in Palestine.

However, folks who ignored the effects of fptp voting to vote (or abstain) for the sake of their conscience do not have their hands clean of all of this. In seeking to protest a genocide, they have invited the start of a second genocide on our fellow citizens, as well as accelerated the original genocide they were protesting. These effects could’ve been seen from a million miles away.

It strikes me as privileged to be able to ignore the predictable real world effects of a decision, in the name of maintaining a clean conscience. Sure, maybe in a few voting cycles, the vote made a difference. I hope so, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen it happen historically. However, generally speaking, do not boast that your hands are clean of the trump administrations actions if your decisions (or lack of) in this election made it more likely for him to be elected. They are simply are not.

Oh I didn’t say that.

I just find it amusing when folks claim that their conscience and hands are clean when they played a part in getting trump elected.

It was a decision telling of priorities, and sending a message, or maintaining a clear conscience, was likely deemed more important than the ramifications a trump presidency. That’s why I mentioned the ivory tower - I assumed that you thought you weren’t going to be too affected by a trump presidency? Either that, or you wanted to maintain a clean conscious despite that? The latter is admirable in it’s own way, but i believe less likely when looking at entire populations.

This is prime “enlightened third party voter” meme material right here.

Must be nice in that ivory tower.

Hey but props to them for their swift action.

If you watch a lot of educational content, nebula shares half of its revenue with creators. Even if they get bought out, half of the proceeds will go to creators.

The afterlife lasting an eternity may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. I enjoy this quote because it provides a different perspective of looking at our daily lives.

“Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say “Well, that was pretty great.” But now let’s have a surprise. Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it’s going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say “Wow, that was a close shave, wasn’t it?” And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream … where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.”

I don’t talk to HR

That’s a copout and you know it lol. If you wouldn’t discuss this with HR, it’s a good sign that it’s NSFW.

Assume any kids old enough to be on this site have already had basic sex education

This is about whether or not the content is nsfw, not about whether or not folks should see this. Marking nsfw content as nsfw is not censorship, nor does it prevent people who want to see it from seeing it.

Would you ask someone in HR this question, if you were in an elevator with them? Would you bring this up with your parents or some kids?

Some smell tests I’d use for determining if something is not safe for work.

Quite frankly marking something that could be NSFW isn’t about you. It’s a courtesy to others who could view it is nsfw. You’re not required to be courteous, of course.

It’s not that it can make individuals uncomfortable here.

It’s that if someone’s walking by at work and sees that, it can get reported to HR.

It’s still another skill to learn and master. Some folks work on winning hands at poker, others aim to win free beer at trivia. I, for one, can’t bluff to save my life and have the memory of a goldfish so I’d be a horrible candidate for poker haha.

And, as you said, your friend has the skills to shift his experience from games of chance towards games of skill.

Never used it, but I believe they let you charge your rent to a cc for like a 2% fee or something.

Excellent idea if your utilities accept the method of payment!

You can also pay for rent with a cc using bilt. I believe this year they’re going to start allowing for mortgage payments too!

Yeah, office supply stores will occasionally have sales the fees they charge for visa gift cards, which make that an option.
