SighBapanada,

I’m a millennial but this reminds me of when I first got into the work force and was stuck in an office full of boomers with me being the youngest. I remember the boss would take turns taking shots at different people during meetings, making insensitive racial jokes about people. I eventually got tired of doing the uncomfortable fake laugh so I just sat there stone faced during his jokes. He halted the entire meeting to a stop to ask me why I wasn’t laughing. This is the extent to which office culture must be obeyed and how insecure they get when you don’t go along with it. It’s so pathetic.

SighBapanada,

Ohhh yeah, there was that too, I can definitely recall one of my male managers making comments about a woman’s body when she wasn’t in the room. So gross.

SighBapanada,

A beyblade

SighBapanada,

I wanted to like this game but the story was just so uninteresting to me that I had to put it down. I know not everyone is like me but as someone who adored the stories in oot and majoras mask, I couldn’t do it man.

SighBapanada,

You mean I get to pay for the privilege of watching your ads? Wow thank you so much amazon how could I be so lucky wow I am not worthy

SighBapanada,

As I’ve grown up and learned more about the world, I’ve learned that it’s not so much that no one knows what they’re doing, but more that most people don’t have clarity about why we do what we do. We’re disconnected from our work and we don’t receive it’s benefits personally. Instead we exchange it for currency, so we don’t know if we’ve “hit the mark” or not. Is my work accomplishing it’s intended purpose? Who the hell knows. I just try to do this thing and keep my boss/teacher happy. We live in a hyper real world where the appearance of accomplishment is a standin for the real thing, so it’s like we’re throwing darts blindfolded at a target. And don’t get me wrong, we might be doing everything correctly and benefiting the world, but at the end of the day what we see is not it’s benefits, but it’s supposed equivalent currency. We’re all going through the motions and just hoping it’s “right”, and that can feel indistinguishable from “I don’t know what I’m doing”

SighBapanada,

I’ve been meaning to start reading some Chomsky & Alfie Kohn! Both very revolutionary writers from the reviews I’ve been checking out

SighBapanada,

Honestly, not that great. In Ontario, health care has been heavily affected by Doug Ford’s Bill 124, which capped nurse’s wages at 1% a year for 3 years, causing horribly long wait times and understaffing at hospitals

SighBapanada,

Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they’re taking a break though and I just need to be patient

SighBapanada,

Copper is such a perfect name

SighBapanada,

Posting this from a 13 mini. It’s the best phone I’ve ever owned. Fits comfortably in my hands, easy to use one-handed, doesn’t feel bulky in my pockets. It’s a shame that the trend is towards bigger phones nowadays

SighBapanada,

Cool app so far. Would it be possible to hide nsfw in search when the option for “hide everywhere” is enabled?

SighBapanada,

I got recommended to read Thinking Fast and Slow on lemmy and I’ve been really enjoying it, much of it is about hidden assumptions and critical thinking

SighBapanada,

Or YMS

TIL The first recorded human death by robot was in 1979 when 25-year-old Ford Motor assembly line worker Robert William was struck by an arm of a malfunctioning one-ton robot (www.wikiwand.com)

Williams was one of three operators of the parts retrieval system, a five-story robot built by the Unit Handling Systems division of Litton Industries. The robot was designed to retrieve castings from high density storage shelves at the Flat Rock plant. Part of the machine included one-ton transfer vehicles, which were carts on...

SighBapanada,

Clearly this means war

Stray is being turned into a movie (www.theverge.com)

Stray, the hit Annapurna Interactive game starring a cat, is getting a “feature adaptation” from Annapurna Animation, according to a press release. Annapurna didn’t share much else about the movie — we still don’t know when it might come out or what it might look like — but if you were a fan of the game and looking...

SighBapanada,

The cat will be voiced by Chris Pratt

SighBapanada,

Nick Robinson has such a gift for taking a relatively arbitrary topic and making you feel as passionate about it as he is. Love his content

SighBapanada,

I had no idea. Just looked it and now I’m sad :(

SighBapanada,

South Park tried to backcycle on it by having an episode where manbearpig is real, albeit many years later, but the damage was already done. Fuck south Park for using their massive platform to propegate dangerous misinformation

SighBapanada,

All I see is hunter2

SighBapanada,

This fascist shit is worldwide. I was just reading yesterday about Canada’s Conservative party leader espousing antisemitic conspiracy theories. What the fuck

SighBapanada,

I’m told I’m a talented public speaker and that I look calm on stage. Honestly I think I’m just better at hiding how nervous I am

SighBapanada,

I developed serious anxiety issues from corporal punishment, but to adults I looked like an obedient and nonviolent child, which was preferable to them. So messed up. I’m in my 30s and I still haven’t fully recovered from social anxiety issues

SighBapanada,

The examples you gave seem more like conversation starters (how are you, the weather) rather than signs that the conversation will be boring. When I think of boring conversation, I think more about people who only talk about themselves or go on long tangents about things you don’t care about

SighBapanada,

This is how I feel when I’m at a get-together and slowly approach a group of people talking

SighBapanada,

What you think of others matters equally as much. Be a good person and be careful who you surround yourself with. Be descerning of different groups of people and their beliefs/values/culture. Being rejected by a group of bigots is a good thing, and you wouldn’t want to be embraced by them to begin with. There are countless historical examples of individuals led astray by group-think, so don’t be too concerned what multitudes think of you. It all depends on context, and wanting to be “rejection proof” might signal too much interest in one’s reputation, although I’m not accusing you of that.

SighBapanada,

I mentioned this in another thread but I think it’s regression to the mean

SighBapanada,

Regression to the mean?

SighBapanada,

Same with messaging app on iOS

SighBapanada,

RIP Daniel Johnston, you were a musical genius

SighBapanada,

Also I recommend everyone check out the 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston

SighBapanada,

I love democracy

SighBapanada,

Rejecting my vacation request for stupid reasons and not giving me a raise for over two years. I had been there for 10 years.

SighBapanada,

We’re fucked. We’re not making it past the end of the century

SighBapanada,

The smugness of that comment

SighBapanada,

I love how bright it is

SighBapanada,

Shaw! Looks great :)

SighBapanada,

I’m curious to know if they’ll be able to bring the full cast back for another.

SighBapanada,

As a Canadian, I was unaware of the details, this was really enlightening

SighBapanada, (edited )

Clown world 🤡 Edit: apparently this saying is a far right dog whistle. I used it without knowing, sorry about that, it wasn’t my meaning

SighBapanada,

Just looked it up. Sorry, I honestly didn’t know. I’ll edit my comment.

SighBapanada,

That futurama episode was so masterful in its storytelling that I honestly believe it should be elevated to the status of a short film rather than just a TV episode

SighBapanada,

The first one had potential but felt short, hopefully this one is more polished

SighBapanada,

If one created explosions, did the other create implosions?

SighBapanada,

Love it

SighBapanada,

Good for you mate
