@quasar@snouts.online Is it? Shit.

I wondered why it felt weird to get 'Sir'd

@lemememeringue You're Poly, hyperempathic, and a Pleaser.

Just like, stay away from narcissists and Sociopaths, and other Users and you'll be okay.

re: unabashed request for validation 

@fluxom_alt You're still a Valid Artist even if you haven't Arted in years.

The art stays Arted.

Industry, griping, Boomers 

I spent four years of my life working in mil-spec at two different companies as a Temp.

I saw how things were Designed, built, and tested. I've been reading about the 737MAX and Boeing lately.

I can see why the planes crashed. I can see why there's a Coverup. I can see why it's a massive problem.

I've worked these places. They're run by Boomers, staffed by Boomers, and everything Exists just to provide a comfortable, low-stress existence for some of the Worst, most Lazy, ineffective Engineers I've ever known.

All the actual Work is done by Temps, while the Good Old Gang of boomers forms the Core of the department. Nobody Cares about their job, nobody is Driven, and the entire structure of the Company is designed to be as Expensive and Wasteful as possible.

So I'm Really Salty lately. If we ever had to engage in a Real War, we wouldn't be able to scale up production in any meaningful way. And the folks who actually Know what's going on in the company are being Downsized, their positions Eliminated for more Profits, and before you know it...

An entire department is one boomer, a Genx-er, and fifteen Temps who aren't going to get Trained. Seven aren't going to make it a Week, because they don't Already Know how to do the job, and the rest are working Below their pay grade and skill level.

Congrats, that's how we build our highest tech: with underpaid, temp, no benefits labor, all so Useless Fat White Boomers can have a Career.

Hot Take 

Military-industrial spending is just a Very Expensive Daycare for the bottom 25% of White Men.

Boeing, Lochkeed, Raytheon: All staffed and operated by Useless, conformist, bootlicking Boomers.

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Yeah, Campaign mission. my guys keep just Dying suddenly.

@Ferrovore I'm personally more used to the 'Ball of fire with a thousand eyes and a hundred eagles wings' because I see them show up more often than not, but then again, they've also showed up to me as a Goodra.

@maxine Are you a career mechwarrior who shoots up into the Air when no enemies are around just because they can?

Hot Take 

I actually Like Comic Sans and think it makes for a more fun, easy to read interface more in-tune with @hyperlink@snouts.online's shitposting habits.

I'm a trio of magical creatures incarnated in a human body and I fix cars.

Tired: 4 player co-op as a gimmick

Wired: 4 Player co-op integrated into normal gameplay.

Inspired: 4 player co-op Mandatory because the enemy AI is Murderous Murdering Murderers, and friendly AI get distracted by pretty birds.

Upsides of being Goodra: Cute, Friend Shaped, Genderqueer, can be tough as Nails and still be super adorable.

Downside of being Goodra: The Flu.

can you imagine being coerced into a career? I'm so glad that that doesn't happen in America

anyway, learn to code or you'll probably starve to death

@cozykaffe@snouts.online hah. Little balls inside pants.

"That's not what I expected," the knight said.
"What?" said the princess. "It's a dragon hoard."
The knight tried to count the dragons cuddling in a pile.
"How?"
"I started with one, then found a couple of strays." The princess shrugged. "I guess I just started collecting them."

@DissidentKitty@radical.town No, just that they don't pick a God that embodies all the virtues and values they aspire to and shove it in there like Religious types do.

Plenty of people filled their god shaped hole with Capitalism.

@DissidentKitty@radical.town Wasn't saying that. Was saying that almost all humans will find Something to dedicate their lives and devotion to.

I just got raised Pantheist. It's all more or less equally valid, it's what you Do with your belief structure that counts.

But Charisma and emphatic resonance is a thing.
