What about a goatee?

Oh yeah I'm aware. I'm not worried about it. I wouldn't have even figured it out if a couple of people didn't try to taunt me.

Is capitalism in the room with you right now?

But the contractors. We need the contractors that want to overcharge and take as much of the taxpayers money as possible. It's important! /s

I don't know what game she's trying to play, but it's definitely a game

Fast track to an IP ban. Front of the line with you

We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word "shut" too long and now it looks weird

Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you're good unless the company mandates something different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you're such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you'd greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job

It's tribalism. We're unfortunately all guilty of it in one way or another and it has become more serious with the increase of social media use

I like this explanation in particular: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beyond-school-walls/202304/tribalism-in-the-age-of-social-media

Edit: to add, I am suspecting that I'm still getting brigaded by a group I pissed off last week. It really doesn't bother me if they are doing that, but there are people that take their internet points more serious than I do so there are definitely people in the fediverse that will do that to you

100% agree

I understand it to a degree. There are radical Muslims who do not do great things to gay people, but the majority of civilians who reside or resided there previously have not given evidence of any wrongdoing of that nature, but are getting blown up anyway. And blasted on the internet as dangerous Muslims

Probably not much at this particular point in time unless you mean getting blown up by rocket fire

Exactly what I was thinking. They're probably like "We'll set a hotel up for you in Syria or Lebanon. Trust us"

Then the best I can suggest is don't let what anyone says get to you. You can only control what you do, and if someone tries to manipulate you, and you catch it too late, well that's just a valuable lesson for the future

Improve your empathy. It sounds hard, but when you focus on body language it gets a lot easier. People will give away what their goal is before they even spit a word. You can say "Hey" to them and that is most of the time all you need.

Just saw this comment. Yes it was silly, and in no way meant to be taken literal. Looking at the history of those states that were under the USSR, putin is trying to keep control of them

You could just talk to me directly, but fine. I'll delete the post

Agreed. I tried to make due, but I won't hold it against the mods if this gets deleted. Just needed to get it out

I see it as the neonazi movement in the US in late 90s and early 2000s. They want to be edgy, but don't have a significant structure to actually do anything important. Around 2006 I ended up stealing a knife from a neonazi that came in to the restaurant that I worked at. It was a Mexican restaurant btw lol
