No regerts.

This is tragic, but not for the obvious reasons. Despite him being a hateful man who added nothing of value to this world, his death will do the same. ITT there are a lot of people who Kirk has negatively impacted. While I don’t blame anybody for how they feel, no one should be cheering or dancing about somebody’s death. But here we are.

What concerns me most is that his death will not make things better for anybody. If anything, I worry that it’ll make things much worse. Those people who followed Kirk will now feel more emboldened in their ideology, and view Kirk as a martyr. Trump and his ilk will probably lash out with more bullshit EOs or enforcement of their illegal policing of innocent people.

Celebrate while you can, as we certainly live in interesting times.

I have never felt so misunderstood than I feel right now in this thread. I give up.

Another primo example of American exceptionalism someone speaking from their personal experiences.

Thank you for educating me about how other places in the world work. But I will not let you shame me for not magically knowing everything about how other cultures work.

So if working from home. Isolation sucks.

It’s almost as if we shouldn’t tolerate intolerance.

I was speaking in reverse of that thinking. The people who want to have someone else’s land are the ones who need to be more open minded.

I can’t think of everything! 😂

Say what you will about Go Dog Go, but I absolutely love the open and honest exchange between these two. No one got hurt, and no one was rude. And at the end of the day, everybody was better for it.

Maybe if people could learn that their views are not the only views, and that other people’s views are not necessarily right or wrong, in the whole wide world, maybe fewer people would be motivated to “become terrorists”.

In case you in fact do not know how to write a resignation letter, let me help demonstrate using a standard way, and a fancy way:

standard

I quit.

fancy

Dear <Manager Name>,

I quit.

Sincerely,

<Your Name>

~It should be noted that <Manager Name> and <Your Name> are placeholders that you would replace with the name of your manager and the name they put on your paycheck under “Pay to the order of” field, respectively.~

It’s quite possible these men have reached the Nirvana of being thick-skinned. If so, we all should be in awe, as that is a rare thing to achieve. It also could be that men are not allowed to show emotion, and would otherwise be condemned if they complained or didn’t “take it like a man”; especially being around a lot of women where they feel even more pressured to show up and be a man.

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.

That’s a pretty cheesy pun you made there.

I’ve been told yes, but I’ve also been lied to about that sort of thing. So your guess is as good as mine.

I just made “Father of the Year” by enforcing a time limit on my 12 yo playing with his friends on the computer, so his younger brother could play, and now he’s in his room in tears. Yeah, adulting sucks sometimes.

arsehole

Nah. I don’t give a shit about anything else you do or have done, you being a good dad to your kid negates all that shit.

My favorite quote:

Everything we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

At first, not likely. But if you take the time and spend the effort to genuinely get to know your partner (on that intimate level), then yes you can learn their tells. It also takes a lot of open and honest communication, which means sometimes you or they may hear things that are not flattering. But that should be okay and encouraged, because as with anything else in life, it’s through failure that you learn and grow and get better.
