Because they were young then.

Corporations can’t suffer. It doesn’t matter whether you “steal” from them or not.

That’s not how corporates think though. The ONLY thing that matters to them is number go up next month. Surprising customers with new fees for things they rely on is an easy way to do that. Guaranteed they’ll try it.

Nope.

They’ll take what they choose to take. It’s 2025. Social mobility doesn’t exist, our votes are meaningless, and economic policies change with the seasons.

I have no agency, so it’s not worth the stress.

40 here. Pretty much what I was thinking.

The way you behave in public is visible by the public, kids. No matter how you feel about it. If you don’t want it read, don’t post it.

I mean, okay.

If I already said something publicly, I expect it to be read publicly.

The block tool is because I’m tired of dealing with their bullshit, not because I’m afraid of them reading what I’ve posted.

Still nice to know though, I guess.

In this order:

1. Tell other adults you trust about the situation. Your wife. Her parents if possible. More than one other person.

2. Explain to her in very clear terms that you can’t have that kind of relationship. It’s not about what anybody feels, it’s about what is possible.

3. At the FIRST sign of any type of revenge seeking behavior, that’s when you consider the authorities and rely on backup from the adults you spoke to.

She very well might listen to you, process the rejection for what it is, and move on. Or she might flip out and cause you a mess. If she handles it well, she’s learned something and you’ve treated a growing human with respect. If she doesn’t, your ass is covered.

I mean aside from the glass eye, he seems relatively healthy.

Cool. I’m out then.

I think it’s a bullshit rule, myself.

But it is a clearly-stated rule.

The real question is how many accounts you want to throw at it, because if you ask me, in for a penny in for a pound.

And it is morally correct to harass elon.

I can turn off the horseshit firehose that we call AI, making it far better than google

Just look pissed off and walk by as though they don’t exist. They’ll never bother you.

They don’t get paid enough to fight and they know it.

Play with fire, get burned.

If you can’t take it, get the fuck out.

Sorry, I have stuff to do today. You’re just as capable of looking him up.

Ugh it’s like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he’s a fragile little sad boy.

Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.

I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.

Funny, I can’t seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.

Well, we do have ex post facto protection for the moment, soooo…

Yeah I have it on every device I own now.

No reason to use it ever, but it’s there. Like, not installed, but there.

Hahahahahahaha suuuuure it’s limited to $500.

This is the only correct answer.

What a beta
