Pentagrams are never uncool.

lea-think I honestly don't really know what some of these things actually mean and so I'm relying on google a little here.

Blouses don't look that gender neutral? Like if I saw a guy wearing that I'd find that weird (and I really do look like a guy right now)

loose fitting cotton/linen pants

These look like sweatpants?

Jewelry is such a good idea I keep forgetting about! I actually need to get some the very next time I get a chance.

Nail polish is another good idea, honestly I'm not sure how into it I am but I should try it at least once.

Layering clothes looks so good and I'm so envious of it. Eventually sicko-wistful

I liked reading it all! It could have been longer! Thank you, I need the luck.

Well if you really want advice, here's some I can't follow myself, at least yet. (I try not to give advice I can't follow normally but shrug-outta-hecks) Sorry if it sounds harsh, a lot of that harshness is directed inwards.

Live your best life, wearing all the skirts you desire. It's okay to make your life about you, not making other people happy. I mean, how sad is that? Making your only life about people who don't want you to be yourself? We get one single, short life on this earth. If wearing skirts makes you happy you should do it, and if wearing boy clothes makes you sad you shouldn't. If your parents are incompatible with you being happy, pick yourself.

*this advice is assuming no immediate danger

**also I hope if you actually need money, you post on mutual aid

kitty-cri-potato what would you normally start off with? (/gen) I'm not sure about going outside the house in girl mode so don't get too excited about my boldness madeline-sadeline

Definitely same here, there's so many things that I was unaware of. The other day someone was talking about how she researched facial structures to figure out what glasses she should wear. Like blocky-wat and yea I'm going to need to lose some weight too.

I've felt dysphoria for less time then you emilie-shrug

I'm in a similar situation with my parents and I don't have any advice, just this meow-hug

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 2 hours ago

I don't know, I think I'd like girl shorts. crop tops/tang tops both look so good but I know I don't have the body for them now. I also really love the idea of fishnets at some point.

Some of it might be my body too, I feel like my hips are very flat and my clothes are very like, boxy?

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

clothing dysphoria? but I'm not too upset right nowTaking my girlshower, doing some girlshaving, and then putting on my boy clothes lea-why

but one day I won't be putting boy clothes on!

This is the happiest I've been with my body in a while though, not because of what it is but because of what it will be.

I can't understate how much it pisses me off that we can't have affordable cars because it's not what's most profitable for the rich.

I still need to grow mine out to be that long, I got a short guy haircut semi recently and need to recover.

I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don't use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship.

bit of a warning but this is a very sad, pathetic and hopeless post. If you're easily made sad you might wanna sit this one out.

avpd is my own personal hell. Its destroying/destroyed my life. I have 2 "friends" I hardly talk to. Dropped out of college. No real prospects. I was born privileged and have just wasted it. I'm a failure. A husk of a person. I've never been on a single date. I'm just sitting here spinning my wheels. And the wheels aren't really spinning anymore. I'm so desperately lonely, but I just... can't. I don't even know how I'd meet people, if I could step out. I'm so lonely, and sad and FUCK being a social creature. What a cruel joke. A social creature that has a fucking personality disorder so they avoid socializing. WHAT THE FUCK. And this shit's permanent. Its who I am. Sure I can "cope" better but I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING COPE I WANT TO BE NORMAL WTF. I WANT TO BE LOVED AND LOVE PEOPLE AND I JUST CAN'T. ITS TOO DAMN HARD.

suicideI just wish I could die. I can't take this. I'm such a waste. Being alive is too painful as an anti social, social being.

I think this movement is being led by paid MAGA and Russian operatives [161]

It does feel like it and Chinas stepping in now too cause they see how easily Russia did it the last time. I’m so tired of this. [38]
It’s sad how easily people in the left leaning subs fall for it. [78]
Claiming Biden is supporting/committing genocide is 100% Russian propoganda [33]
I think these stupid memes are being created by DNC and AIPAC staff. I guess we really DO need Liz Cheney to be our spokesperson, to say what needs to be said, because all the Democrats got is, "Vote for Biden or you get the Trump!" [-22]

Why do you HATE President Biden so much? I looked at your post history, you act like you would prefer your finger nails pulled out than acknowledge when the President does something good (which is quite often) [24]
(this is one comment with two line breaks) Nah democrats are saying a lot more than that, but if you only pay attention to memes on tiktok it may seem that way.
I'm voting for Biden because he's been a great president, and one of the most progressive presidents in decades. He's putting us on a path of worker focused economic policy, made big strides in fighting climate change, and implemented a whole host of domestic policies focused on helping people in need.
I'd be voting for Biden regardless of who he was running against. I'm also glad he's not throwing caution to the wind, tearing up treaties and abandoning allies (even if we think they deserve it) before attempting diplomacy. [22]

"Both sides are bad" people are ultimate fucking idiots. The Dems and GOP have gone so far apart in the past 2 decades, they could be on different planets. All the Republicans do nowadays is make policies that say, "No, ur policy is WrOnG. Let's just do the complete opposite of what the Dems are saying without actually contributing to any helpful resolution" No fucking originality, just 100% contradictory opinions with zero basis in fact. I'm no fan of Biden's age but actually his administration has achieved a lot for a President with a completely divided Congress [score hidden]

Im convinced the “protest voting” crowd are just Russian trolls or useful idiots that Russian trolls brainwashed. [72]

You are entirely correct in that assessment. [26]

Ah yes, the "protest voters" with FirstwordSecondwordNumber usernames that always post in daytime hours for Moscow and "hate Trump but want to send a message to the Democrats" with their vote. [33]

This is kinda the end of highly upvoted comments, so these are legally bonus content:

At this point if you genuinely can’t see all the steps biden is taking against Israel and think he’s pro genocide even tho he’s stopping a bigger genocide in Ukraine and actively announcing his disappointment in the Netanyahu regime then I don’t know how to help you.

His Gaza policies are not terrible. They are doing exactly what is allowed by law and without actively declaring war on Israel. But that's probably what HAMAS sympathizers want.

Biden has a good Gaza policy. Pushing for peace and getting aid across. He also has a “status quo” policy on Israel that’s been going on for decades.

reddit and archive.org
I'm honestly wondering if I'm the one in a bubble. Has biden actually done something good in Gaza while my back was turned? If any libs see this, please elaborate. "worker focused economic policy"? Where, when?

“Cow-to-cow transmission is definitely playing a role in how this disease progresses. To what extent, we don’t know yet,” Leibsle said. It’s clear that infected wild birds spread the disease to herds in Texas and Kansas, he said. “But the herd of cattle that came up from Texas to Idaho, the birds didn’t follow,” the state veterinarian said...

...Idaho’s Leibsle said “not all dairy producers will want to wait one, two, three weeks” for dairy cows to recover. Some producers may decide to send the animals to slaughter as beef animals, he said.

This bird flu shit scares me really badly.

full textI firmly believe that being terminated for cause or marked "ineligible for rehire" should carry lifelong consequences, regardless of the circumstances, and be treated as a felony (just as a dishonorable discharge from the US military is felony-equivalent). Being fired for cause is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly, and it should serve as a permanent mark on one's record. Here's why I believe this:

Permanent Mark on Record: Being fired for cause or marked as "ineligible for rehire" should follow you for the rest of your life and be treated the same as a felony conviction. This is a serious consequence that should make individuals think twice before engaging in misconduct or inappropriate behavior in the workplace.

No Excuses for Misconduct: Regardless of whether you feel your supervisor targeted you or if you believe there were mitigating circumstances, being fired for cause is shameful and should be treated as such. Excuses do not change the fact that serious misconduct occurred. The ONLY exception here is if you were laid off for purely financial reasons, in which case that's not a "for-cause" termination & you'd likely be eligible for rehire.

Equal Consequences for All: Just like how a dishonorable discharge in the military is equivalent to a felony, being terminated for cause should have serious, lifelong consequences. This applies to all forms of misconduct, including but not limited to sexual harassment.

Public Registry: Those who are terminated for cause or marked as "ineligible for rehire" should be placed on a publicly-accessible registry, similar to how the sex offender registry currently operates. This information can be used by prospective employers, friends, and family to make informed decisions about associating with the individual.

Loss of Rights: Individuals who are terminated for cause should lose their right to vote and bear arms, similar to the consequences of a felony conviction. They should also lose the right to both Federal and private employment, as well as recourse to any form of welfare or charity.

As only the opinion of the employer matters here, there would be absolutely no right of appeal for these consequences once the employee has lost their job, no matter the circumstances.

By implementing these consequences, we can ensure that individuals think twice before engaging in misconduct in the workplace and that those who do face appropriate lifelong consequences for their actions. During the pandemic, people have forgotten how to treat their employers with respect; this is one way we could fix that.

Its a new account so maybe a troll? But they have left a bunch of non troll comments so shrug-outta-hecks

reddit link / archive.org

shitload of comments from their post history (went overboard oops)

Quitting before about 3-5 years is unethical. Hiring is outrageously expensive and they haven't even gotten a positive ROI out of you yet.

Realistically in the first 6-12 months you shouldn't be taking any time off at all, no matter the reason.

Be grateful they gifted you the opportunity to interview at all.

Taking the job is understandable. Continuing to look is unethical. It's understandable in this permanently horrific job market why OP would accept the job, but that comes with the expectation OP ceases their search and commits long-term to this job.

r/ChoosingBeggars. Min wage is new normal for most jobs.

There's also a little bit of, you lost your job, you kinda have a debt to society to repay.

"What do I tell interviewers in the future when asked about this position?" The honest truth. Your boss didn't like you, so you were fired for cause.

A job is MORE than a marriage actually. You're spending more time with your job than your SO usually (unless you count sleep time... waking hours most definitely). Your job is paying all your living expenses. So yeah, it's deeper than a marriage.

Work's supposed to suck.

Quitting an internship is super shitty, paid or not.

Can't speak for UK but under US social norms, the leaving on short notice/before 3-5 years on the job would get you for sure blacklisted from that company for life, and likely from any other company too.

That is incredibly, horrendously unethical that you broke your commitment to not one, but two companies within ~3 months. People like you are why we need central, public do-not-hire registries.

Unpopular opinion but if an employer gives you the gift of a job in this economy, you absolutely owe them your undying loyalty and gratitude. This is the worst job market ever, perhaps worse than 1929, and it will never get better. If you've been with a company under 5 years, there is almost never a reason you should even be entertaining the idea of an interview with another company. If a recruiter reaches out you should pull the proverbial "sorry I have a boyfriend" card.

Honestly kinda leaning towards this being an actual techbro bootlicker,

Almost exactly a year after they halted withdraws, it looks like the FTX saga is coming to a close. Sentencing won't be until March though.
