I guess it's just me but I feel like "misogynist homicide" is more clear than femicide. That massive paragraph breaking it down between domestic violence and something specifically called "femicide" is completely unnecessary. As I write this on a computer and keyboard at this point, I'm realizing it wants to spell check "femicide" because it's also not in the spell-check dictionary.

I'm going to re-affirm, this is dumb.

Everything doesn't have a special word, that's my point.

I had never heard of this dude before Trump made him FBI director but seriously, does a picture of him exist where he doesn’t have the “oh my god, I have no idea what the fuck is going on,” deer in headlights face thing happening?

I mean, I think my assessment is probably correct but it’s just incredibly improbable that in every picture he looks like he showed up to class, realized that he forgot to write the book report and the teacher is asking for people with last names starting with “P” to present to the class.

Nope

I didn’t come here for heartwarming stories; yet here I am.

Idiocracy

Yep, this is 100% why I hope they actually pull off the porn ban. You want to see MAGA flip faster than Simone, you take away their porn.

Oh wow, I hope they do it. Nothing is going to upset the MAGA crowd faster than losing access to the trans pornography they view in the privacy of their own homes while condemning publicly. I'd imagine a lot of them are not going to understand VPN.

Ooooh story time…

I worked for a small company in 2017/2018 that had recently expanded its building and added offices into their second floor, which had previously been a storage area. The second floor offices didn’t have any windows, but is also the spot that they decided IT would go.

One day I came in and the fluorescent lights didn’t turn on. There happened to be some random old lamp (I think from the 60’s or 70’s) in a storage closet so I grabbed it and put it on the intersection of 4 cubicles to light the area. There were only 6 IT people that worked in the area and as people were coming into work, no one mentioned the light. We all just did our work.

Halfway though the day, one of our senior devs asked “hey, so what’s with the light?”

I let him know the overhead lights didn’t come on when I got here this morning so I just grabbed a lamp.

5 of us discussing the lighting situation all vocally said “yea, this is much better, the fluorescent lights suck.” One person was quiet.

The overhead lights were “fixed” not too long after but people started opting for turning them off in favor of the lamp. This upset 1 of the 6 IT people working in the area.

It eventually became an HR issue, and the one person won; to the detriment of the other 5.

I ended up quitting about 2 weeks after that, not from the light issue; but I let them believe it was a large contributing factor in the exit interview.
