@mawr Oh no... that is the worst feeling.

Capitalism, Ethics and Narcissism
If we accept that capitalism encourages people to take risks and cause harm where it is likely to result in a personal monetary gain, then it's not hard to conclude that individuals drawn to management within industries of questionable ethics may very likely trend narcissist if not full on sociopath.
rant, tech work, superbad deployment process, oncall.. wanna get high and sleep
I am so tired... 3 hours of sleep... I just wanted to have a gummi and sleep until tomorrow... but graaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwrrrr... I'm oncall until Monday.. holy fuck our core production deployment system is so broken.. and for some reason the oncall person is responsible for the weekly core push to prod... and I my day started when I got paged at 5am.. did not end until like almost 8pm because I was supervising my first core push... and it was so busted and messy.. argh.. I have so many angry notes about things that should definitely change about the process. I have no idea how the fuck.. it has been like this for.. apparently several years..
horny furry scene description
I wonder how the average early-nineties cyberpunk enjoyer would have reacted to a plot point of “The hacker checked her VR feed; the target system’s on-call sysadmin was still happily pretending to be a fox-boy getting stuffed down the dick of his shark-lady lover. All those remote-controlled vibrators in Admin Tod should drown out anything his pager did if Chilton set off his ICE.”
I am sure it would have been taken as humor, at best. But here we are in the early twenty-first century and “what’s your fursona” is a secret handshake for half the people who run the Internet.
re: Pathfinder, Outlaws of Alkenstar minor spoilers, mostly GM griping.
@Draekos The first book of Guns of Alkenstar has really fucking weird decisions in it.
Heavily encourages players to play gun based characters.. Tosses in a bunch of constructs early on that are resistant to physical damage.
Like they are "thematic" enemies for the story but make no fucking sense from the perspective of making the module fun and interesting to play.
@kistaro Brains are weird like that

@Draekos Meat bodies are such a chore sometimes.

So last night I had a horrible encounter with some scissors and ending up cutting my hair very short chasing a mis-cut... because it's been 3 years since I've seen a stylist.. and my hair has been a mess.
Like it has been this short in years.. my bangs literally stop at my jaw line everything kinda follows that.
Since my hair is too short to put up (which I used to do to keep it from getting tangled with headphones) I wore it down for all my meetings this morning..
During all of them, everyone reference me unprompted used fem pronouns.. which usually people that aren't paying attention have used masc in the past.
(My HR profile, gsuite, slack, zoom and everything else at this company lists they/them as my pronouns and a lot of folks not on my team or that are not queer I guess miss that)
I was pretty upset about how short I cut my hair last night... but honestly I feel lot less crappy over it now.
@kistaro Those always suck a lot. I wish you a swift recovery!
re: uspol silly
@kistaro No one deserves to have US Mil personal in their homes!
@mawr Makes sense.. I really want to do the sitting/standing powered desk thing.. because while I don't want to stand all the time.. just being able to swap it up regularly over the course of the day would be really nice and probably a lot better for my back and joints!
@mawr I have that same keyboard!
Work also gave me the non-rgb one when I started.. really like it.. very happy with the mx browns and how it feels/is not super loud!
Got a solid chair.. though after we move I may trade up at some point, steelcase leap v2. which is nice except it is like "sit like this" super adjustable.. I keep eyeing the gesture because I like to shift around a lot and the leap doesn't do that well! Hopefully desk height adjustment and being able swap sit/stand will help
