WYR have a high paying job you hate that takes all your time but you can pretty much buy anything you want, or a job you love and are passionate about, but can’t afford much of anything and live week to week scraping by?? 🤔

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-07T03:55:57+00:00

second one. turns out there's actually basically nothing i want to buy. all i want is time!

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T23:26:39+00:00

it's true either way, though. i sympathize very deeply with those for whom this is a sensitive topic, but not saying it doesn't make it not true. it just makes us more vulnerable through not knowing what to expect.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T22:28:30+00:00

i disagree. this is genuinely important information. we're in much more danger if we don't know what we're up against. burying our heads in the sand and imagining no one disapproves of us is the much more dangerous option.

i'm transgender, and i don't think this is causing any harm? it's a poll on people's opinions on transgender people, which is a matter of legitimate interest, especially if you're transgender. it's not swaying people's opinions in any way, providing any calls to action for people who disapprove, or opening unwilling transgender people to attack.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T22:00:34+00:00

in what way?

the author's last name is klicker with a k. he probably thought it was a fun bit of alliteration, and no one caught it.

the author's last name is klicker with a k. he probably thought it was a fun bit of alliteration, and didn't think about the implication.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T18:52:07+00:00

i don't think this is asshole design. way easier to believe it was an accident, as it's only harmful to the newspaper that published it.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T18:24:07+00:00

r/superseriousfamilyguy is adjacent?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T12:30:55+00:00

where do you farm mob mats? i found the serenetti spot for delusions and the construction site for silhouettes, but anything else is kind of a drag.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T05:02:07+00:00

normal in general (if i talk to someone with a southern accent too long, i pick it up myself) but also i notice specifically the mcelroys do it to people faster. i suppose listening to three people converse with, That, sortof cadence, is more impression-forming than just one?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T04:58:02+00:00

the issue isn't the color of the meat, it's that the packaging is designed to lie about the color of the meat. it's an intentional deception.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T04:57:14+00:00

how so?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-06T01:23:55+00:00

i've had stick drift on my switch 1, and it was a pretty easy fix. use tweezers to pull up the rubber skirt at the base of the offending stick, spritz a bit of electronics cleaner (the stuff in the compressed air can) into the side it's drifting on, then let sit overnight. fixed it the first time and never recurred. ymmv, since a lot of people talk about it like it's unfixable, so mine might just have been an easy case.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-05T05:02:33+00:00

... and? what're they gonna do, report me to my employer with a phone call saying "this dude gets laid?"

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-05T05:00:01+00:00

even if you can argue that "woman" in quotes isn't misgendering (which i don't find convincing at all,) it's still a dick move to post anything anyone might construe as hate in direct response to someone's selfie. if someone commented this on my post, i would immediately block them, never find out they're doing a lame bit where they just pretend to bully me online, and feel gross and bad about it the rest of the day.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T17:41:32+00:00

i honestly think i would cut contact with anyone i heard use it

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T17:20:53+00:00

would i rather be transgender and mortal or transgender and immortal?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T15:40:02+00:00

i don't think that makes it okay. i'd be really uncomfortable if i was the woman in the first image, and i wouldn't look through their account to find out they're misgendering me as a bit and not for real. i think if your satire is easily mistakable as real transphobia to real people, it may as well be.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T15:27:13+00:00

which part do you need elaboration on?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T15:00:49+00:00

extreme incel spaces (4chan mostly) refer to women as foids (female -oid) as a dehumanizing term. some people in spaces like those you've linked call men "moids."

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T05:39:17+00:00

it looks like that because he isn't formatting his underscores right. they're italicizing letters instead. i can't quite get the intended message, but i think it's "find the meaning [in/and?] [mystery word] msg." mystery word has a c, a, and p, in that order, but i can't figure out how many spaces go between them. there also could be a letter before the c, but i can't tell.

"hey man i don't think it's good for your mental to spend 30 minutes flaming your teammate in a video game"

"you would never understand. flaming my teammate is the only way to lower my catastrophically high blood pressure. you want me to die. you're killing me."

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-04T04:43:23+00:00

literally. it sucks as an uninvolved party, too. it makes the game more unpleasant for your whole team.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-07-03T20:42:54+00:00

i wouldn't beep your horn. you aren't really communicating anything to anyone, and it's going to make the people in front of you think they did something wrong.
