@Leucrotta Super badass :D
my take on your take
@Irick If you think this is about ego then you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and should probably stop spouting your takes all over the fediverse please and thank you
@bunnyhero@octodon.social @Mycroft Can we make it cannon that Humanfighter Georg is like an Orc or something?
That name sounds like it'd fit nicely on an orcish cutie. :3
@Mycroft @bunnyhero@octodon.social My hero. ♥️

@Aradia@mastodon.social @literorrery Thank you, hon. I really appreciate the confidence. ♥️
I need to sharpen those tools a bit; a lot of them have grown dull and rusty at this position. I realized this morning that I haven't done work I've been proud of at this company in over a year now, largely due to projects being cancelled or indefinitely postponed over and over again. I guess I really need to face the fact that it's time to move on.

@zx3 *hugs* Thanks, hon-- and yeah, it does sound that way, but the worst part about this is it's actual IT people making these calls. ;~;
Context on Video Essay channel, GamerGate
If you're unfamiliar with Innuendo Studios, you may have heard of their excellent GamerGate series "Why are you so angry?" Which is in my opinion the best video essay summary there is on the subject.

OMG Innuendo Studios is doing a series on the Alt-Right called the "Alt-Right Playbook" and it's already FANTASTIC.
I cannot recommend this channel highly enough. Everything is so well written and presented; with complex concepts spelled out masterfully. I always learn so much from every video posted to this channel.

@Felthry That game has been on my list for SO LONG
California fires
So, uh. The two fires closest to where I live have consumed nearly 9,500 acres of land together.
If you can spare any cash and want to help, I urge you to donate to charities in the affected areas: Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino counties. I personally can vouch for the Redwood Credit Union Community Fund, as it's run by the credit union I've been a member of since I was a teenager and they have never once tried skeezy banker bullshit on me. https://rcu-community-fund.squarespace.com/donate/

@zetasyanthis I sincerely appreciate it, hon. Right now, I'm going to try to get my mind off of this for a while so I can de-stres some. This has taken a huge toll on my reserve of spoons, and I have to start work super early tomorrow for a full day of meetings.. so I'm gonna need a lot of spoons by then

@zetasyanthis Yes, for now we can. I got my IP whitelisted so I can stay off the VPN, thus enabling me to stay in communication with my team and get some work done at the same time
But when they put these rules into effect at their office early next year, I'm pretty much fucked unless they fix a bunch of things in a hurry
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
