We were asked to provide feedback on, "How do you think AI could benefit your workplace." I pointed out how a lot of data shows it largely creates more workload and produces costly mistakes. My manager got back to me and asked if I could write something, "more positive." : |

My company just merged with another one, so I'm filling out employement paperwork. One asked me my pronouns. Holy shit. How the fuck is my job more woke than me? I haven't even HEARD of most of these.

I was remembering being 5YO and taking part in the yearly nativity play. They asked me what animal I wanted to be and I said Cardinal—yes, the songbird. My dad cut & painted a cardboard little cardinal head hat held on by a string and I sat there in red sweats the entire play like a doofus.

Furries making human sonas. Going to conventions. "Hey, I like your skin suit." "Thanks, it's of my skinsona, Aeighdeighn(pr. Aiden). I made it myself. Hug?" "Sure!" *wet squishing sounds of fake flesh rubbing together*

Daoist philosophy is just ancient autistic cope. Change my mind. "No, my hyperfixation isn't weird or useless, I'm actually harmonizing with the universe."

It must be hard being a werewolf. Forced to turn into a horrifying, disgusting creature, over and over again. If only there was a way to stop the transformation. To remain in your true form. Indeed, nothing could be worse than having to endure turning into a human at sunrise every day.

For macro March! You pulled over in the woods to enjoy the scenery and when you turned back around he'd snatched your car up like a piece of litter. I wonder if it'll crumple like one? :3 🎨@mintimaws

Reading a horror book a friend got me. The main character is a Christian youth. You'd think this is a poor parody of what growing up evangelical is like but my mother was friends with a woman who wouldn't let her daughters watch Space Jam because of the 30 second scene with a fortune teller in it.

When the game is built around gear progression and the game drops some mid-level gear on you that completely invalidates the early game progression because you pre-ordered or the game happened to be bundled with some DLC. Why? Why ruin your own game like that?

What's your most hated gaming trope?

When the player has status effect spells but the random battles are too weak to bother with them and the bosses are all immune to them. Looking at you Final Fantasy.

I hate it when games give you the information to piece together the plot like 5x over, but all of the characters act like the most obvious conclusion is completely beyond their comprehension. Then someone drops the truth 5 hours in and the characters are like :O Come on.

It's a shame bigots beat us to the term "transvestigate" because that would have been a killer bit of nomenclature for someone trying to explore being trans.

Deer shed and regrow their antlers yearly. They're only hard and made of bone for around half the year. They're mostly made of cartilage while growing and covered in fuzzy skin called "velvet". Once they harden into bone deer make a bloody mess rubbing the velvet off, revealing the finished rack.

I had a school admin call in because she just couldn't understand. "How can this parent owe $605. We only charge $185 in tuition a week and he's only missed the last two weeks and gotten two $25 late fees." I weep for the poor children who attend this school.

What's your most hated gaming trope?

My brain has two modes: One: I'm happy by myself. If anyone asks me to hang out I'll get annoyed at the sudden social obligation. Two: I need to hang out. Being alone is literal torture. And like nothing in between and switching between them is like pulling teeth from a stone. Anyone else?

Apparently if you swap out a Bluetooth adapter with a new one—the wireless card I just got in this case—Win 11 still considers the old Bluetooth "functional" & any devices connected under it are effectively locked to it. The new Bluetooth hardware can't connect to it or even remove it to reconnect.

Another new wireless card. I swear if this one starts to BSoD I don't know what to do.

Do macro's use a literal airplane when feeding their offspring? "Here comes the airplane! Say ahhh." The airplane: "AHHHHHH!"

*sigh* All the effort I put into solving the issue with my wireless card was pointless. It's still throwing BSoD. I'm just gonna have to buy a new one next paycheck.

Having food in your mouth and feeling a sneeze coming on has to be up there in one of the most unpleasant situations.

Reading a random steam review when What

I hope I fixed my wireless card issues. The issue seems to have been with the Wificx.sys file. I ran through like a bunch of troubleshooting all at once and it seems to be working without issue. Here's hoping I'm not back to reinstalling drivers every week next week.

I swear every time I stumble upon wholesome subreddits, the rules will tyrannically enforce wholesomeness, but then half the posts will be like, "Small child raises $30,000 to pay off student lunch debt for his classmates!😍😘💕" That isn't wholesome. That's a fucking capitalistic nightmarescape.

There is no reality where I should have to physically unseat my wireless card to figure out what driver should be installed. WTF TP Link? Anyway, I had the right one installed. So yippee, I get to continue troubleshooting.

After the SRD fiasco, I stopped playing 5e and switched to PF2e. I recently got invited to a 5e game. I see a lot of improvements, but it feels so weirdly paired down. Where's the pitons? Where's my chalk WotC? Where's my fucking soap? How am I gonna roleplay taking a bath in the river now!?

Every wireless solution I use on my computer keeps crapping out. I bought a cheap USB dongle and it died within a month. I decided to splurge on a really good wireless card and now I have to reinstall the drivers every week or I get BSoD and shitty WiFi connectivity. This is why I prefer ethernet.

A predator who swallows prey to exhaust and rough them up so he can bring them home to regurgitate them into the waiting maw of his loving boyfriend. 💕 "Hey dear, I know it upsets your tummy when they struggle, so I wore him out for you~"

Voresky was fun for a bit, but the lack of interactivity and the constant obligation to check it and set up a glorified tummy-shaped egg timer makes it both kinda uninteresting and draining at the same time. So I'll probably abstain.

Do you have kids? Do you love them more than anything? Okay. What could your children do to make you torture them? If your answer is, "I would never, because I love my children," then congratulations, you are a better person than the Christian god. Why do people follow this religion again?

It's hilarious watching christian apologetics circles tearing one of their own apart because he had the gall to suggest, "Gosh, maybe the constant threat of eternal torture is a turnoff for new converts. What if we interpret it a different way?" "NO. ONLY ETERNAL TORTURE." Man fuck that religion.
