The Suspicious Orange

When I was training to be a paramedic, we had one student ask the instructor what to do in the event of a marijuana overdose. The instructor said "Tell him to take two twinkies and call you in the morning."

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

Hey this is a pretty cool approach maybe we should take that to the Internet instead of trying to invade the privacy of millions of adults because some parents can't parent their kids

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

developers moving all their bug tracking and suggestion management to discord is like if you could only access customer support if you joined a facebook group. we need to start shaming people who use discords as a replacement for an actual proper repository

like discords cant be searched with a search engine. all the info is locked behind a membership gate. if someone's already had the same issue as you and solved it you have no way of knowing because all the troubleshooting was in a random channel 3 months ago. if someone has the same suggestion as you, you cant back them up with your support and spitball ideas. youre actively sabotaging yourself if you use discord for dev utilities.

big tip for all neurodivergents you’re supposed to let everyone make you uncomfortable all the time but if youre weird in any way youll be shot at point blank range and itll be your fault
