Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

Being a human Eeyore is okay every once in a while. But this almost seems like a hobby for you. Go read a book or something. You’re clearly not enjoying the online experience, you get the shits with anyone who engages with you here… So what’s the point?

Don’t engage with this guy. Not worth the effort

Ah so there’s no dated no-nos, just that’s it’s better to leave in your child brain rather than revisit?

Re inspector gadget - why not?

In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).

Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.

When the videos you rented were always fuzzy at the sex and nudity scenes

Edit to say you can usually just get a certificate for these places and book in your session at a time that suits in the future

Edit to say I meant this to be an edit.

Now it’s just edits all the way down.

Thoughtful experience gifts can be fun.

Knife or ring making, or some other hands on, niche craft? That way you learn something and can take away something special and unique to you as a bit of a memento for the birthday?

Everyone I know who’s done these have enjoyed the experience and come away quite proud of the thing they made. Have a search for options in your area.

Fast asleep in the sun on the floor near my bed. I’m finishing my coffee and then I’ll get up and get him breakfast but he’s in no hurry so neither am I.

I’ve got to head out to lunch in an hour so he’ll be a bit sad but will likely sleep through the ordeal in the sun in the loungeroom.

My partner leaves his drink bottle near the sink, empty or mostly empty.

I accidentally knock that fucker over at least twice a day. I move it to a different part of the kitchen where it’s very unlikely to get accidentally knocked, he knows the spot so it’s not like I’ve hidden it or inconvenienced him.

But he puts it back next to the fucking sink and I knock it over and it makes so much fucking noise and scares the dog and I have to stop what I’m doing to go pick it up, just in case it does have a bit of water in it and creates a slip hazard, and it’s going to be the reason I suffocate him in his sleep.

The set up makes you think the guy’s at the doctor for an issue with his cock and balls.

Turns out it’s just his ex and her new partner (who happens to be a doctor) explaining why she left him for the new guy.

There’s a certain type of guy that wants a cybertruck. Most women would want to avoid that type of guy, and certainly wouldn’t want to accidentally procreate with them. So the cybertruck is the ultimate cock block for the good of all humankind.

Play it, Sam. You piece of shit.

We’ll always have Paris, you piece of shit.

Get busy living, or get busy dying. You piece of shit

I honestly can’t stop laughing - why is this stupid idea so funny

Do yourself a favour, if you haven’t already, watch the episode of Extras with him playing ‘himself’.

I’m just tired and bored with myself

Dancing in the dark - the boss

I just do it as a courtesy to the people as I’m usually making fun of them in forums they didn’t originally post in. It’s not like I’m thinking about it as being doxxing, more just that I’m poking fun at someone behind their back - if they’re a public figure that’s one thing - but the average Joe? Just feels impolite. That’s why I do it anyway.

Shorter princess makes up for it with loooong arm.

This is quite beautiful though. I like the colours and the comfortable way they hold each other.
