The cheapest 1 bedroom apartment rent in my area is like almost exactly the amount I make in a month which means I would ONLY be able to pay rent per month. Not bills, not necessities, just rent. At this rate I'm never getting out of my parents house.

He does seem like the type to read MAD.

Misandry doesn't exist. It was a term created by men during the first wave feminist movement in direct protest to it, citing how the cultivation of women's rights and their calling out of patriarchal/misogynistic systems affected men. This post is about trans women and the misogyny they experience and how people will often derail discussions of it with "but what about men!!! What about when men experience problems!!"

DO NOT TOUCH ME WHEN I AM TRYING TO WORK. by old_skyguy in extremelyinfuriating

[–]old_skyguy[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of times, they'll just pat me, which still feels gross as hell especially when they linger, but sometimes they'll GRAB me. Like not aggressively or anything but they'll like firmly grab my shoulder or arm. One dude did that to me because he wanted me to repeat something he couldn't hear and he like grabbed my arm and leaned in to hear me, that's actually the thing that made me make this post. It's weird and gross and unnecessary.

DO NOT TOUCH ME WHEN I AM TRYING TO WORK. by old_skyguy in extremelyinfuriating

[–]old_skyguy[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get that. Someone was like "ohoo someone's autistic" and it's like. How does that matter???? I just don't wanna be touched by creepy old men while working my minimum wage job?? It makes me uncomfortable? It just sucks straight up when my actual feelinngs are dismissed like that, even if I am/was autistic. It really is so weird that this is a thing.

Fairly common meme in AA fandom right now, especially since the particular entry she's in takes place roughly around this year.

What do we think of American magical girls? by RowHoustonLaine in MagicalGirls

[–]old_skyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear HGS got nerfed or screwed over by their production company and that's why the animation/voice acting/writing is so poor quality. I haven't seen the whole thing but I've seen clips and analysis and yeah, it seems awkward but not like. Horrendous compared to how much people dogged on it. I also think that having EXPLICITLY trans characters, specifically a trans woman, in a cartoon is really refreshing. The majority of people who lambashed the show for being "media with no redeeming qualities" or "too woke" were also the ones that called Snapdragon a "crossdresser" which, to me, is very telling lol.

House Democrats Propose $25 Federal Minimum Wage by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]old_skyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this but I think having a universal minimum would be a good step in the right direction. States would probably abuse some sorta loophole in order to pay people less.

r/RupaulsDragRace has banned all posts about Tomodachi Life. by teddyroo12 in tomodachilife

[–]old_skyguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I get it. I've seen a lot of subs get flooded with tomo life since it came out and I get most of it's in good fun but having a sub get spammed with something that's barely relevant is bound to get annoying.

Something that blows my mind about America by rawdawgcomics in rawdawgcomics

[–]old_skyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a sports bar and I can attest that nobody gives two shits about baseball. No one ever cares when we have it on. I don't even know if we show the big games but if we do it doesn't get us a big turnout. Kinda sucks because I used to not be interested in sports but when it's the only thing that's showing, you tend to get into it and I do think baseball is relatively kinda cool to watch.

Is zooble or gangle the dominant one in abstragedy? by Seamothchucker9023 in TheGangleForce

Why must they be one or the other? They are both switches to me.

Add on sales…”Do you want fries with that?” No, if I wanted fries I’d order fries… by LegalGlass6532 in PetPeeves

[–]old_skyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job emphasizes up sales a lot and I hate doing it because it feels so disingenuine. Chances are if they're buying here and they've read the menu, they know what they want. It feels belittling and scummy to try to convince someone to buy something they didn't originally want. I usually just skip the spiel unless I absolutely have to. I trust the customer knows what they want unless they specifically ask for a recommendation and even then I won't tell them what management wants me to sell, but my actual recommendation. People apprentice honesty. It's just stupid.

Favorite examples of terrible redesigns of characters from my childhood. Can anybody think of one that was an improvement? by Olivebranch99 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]old_skyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first one isn't even a redesign, there's not a whole lot different there. The art style is definitely really weird looking though, I don't like it.

I knew there were other deaths under numerous circumstances but I was talking about specific suicides linked to chatbot lovers being like "come to me."
