  • Can't speak for every guy, but some of us will make sure to give extra room on the sidewalk to purposefully indicate that we're not a threat. A bit of mud is a small price to pay to know that we have prevented even a modicum of fear from springing up in the hearts of a random passerby.

    Many of us understand why women choose the Bear over the Man.

  • This is some dystopian fan fiction.

    Jose has seen me come to work everyday through those doors for more than half a year. I believe this was his idea of a joke. He must have disabled the turnstile right before I was to scan my key card. I went straight to my manager to see "If everything was OK."

    And it's not all that well-written, either.

  • Appreciate that. I was skimming through the next and didn't specifically see the words "martial law" anywhere. It's another baseless series of actions that will undermine the rights of people everywhere, but it's not Martial Law yet

  • Keep in mind that you only saw one brief snapshot of their day; you may have witnessed only a brief moment where all five were there together and that it's not indicative of their entire day

  • You want happiness? Stop demanding the world cushion your fragile psyche.

    I don't understand the strange strawman that's being set up and knocked down here. With its repeated usage of "you" and "your", the author seems to be speaking to their audience; but then casting their audience into a dark light, a tangle of declarations that don't apply to most people at all.

    When you’re hypersensitive to criticism, it’s because you’ve conflated your fragile ego with your worth. You’ve mistaken your current position in the hierarchy for your eternal fate.

    Like I said, a strawman. Who is this for? I guess those who are hypersensitive to criticism, who have specifically considered their eternal fate to be reflective of their current position "in the hierarchy"?

    Stop catastrophizing. Your boss’s nitpicking, your partner’s sigh, the anonymous troll’s jab—these are not existential threats. They’re feedback. And feedback is the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, here’s a map to a better version of you… if you’re brave enough to read it.”

    Yeah, that's not how trolls work. Trolls troll for kicks, hoping to trigger people. Trolling does not present you with a "map to a better version of you".

    What a strange soliloquy
