Sick of these people claiming to have washboard abs when they can't even play bluegrass music on them. Shameful

From "A truly unscrupulous organization", a review by Viewlift's former director of engineering:
"I try to see the silver lining in the most dire of situations, but Viewlift is a train-wreck without any silver lining. The only person who keeps busy is the sales intern who has been busy writing 22 Four & Five star reviews in the past 2 weeks"
More new Glassdoor reviews of ViewLift, an absurdly bad company you definitely should not work for if you are looking for an entry-level tech job.
The first is entitled, “Do not believe the Fake Reviews”
The second? "“A truly unscrupulous organization”"
Boy am I glad all they did was give me a (bizarre, awful) interview.
Sometimes a good song has a really depressing title, and you don't want to make your friends worried by posting the video, to say, Cayetana's "Am I Dead Yet?"
Looking at the default Excel templates and thinking to myself, "Wow, how nice. I wish I was the guy who got to make these for users"
I'm cool, yo 😎

making all activities i do cool by adding the suffix '-punk'. when i have an afternoon nap, that's snoozepunk. when i eat cookies off my swollen, distended tummy, that's snackpunk. im hip now.
From 2000 to 2010 was an even more radical change, because I was a teenager living in hell. The life I live now would be practically unimaginable.

Misgendering AMAB trans people
@AzureHusky important bit: male socialization happens to trans men because *being socialized is a continuous process through life*.
but somehow, as a trans woman, saying that a trans *man* who is *really a man* is acting like a *man* including in bad ways we associate specifically with *men*? is a really short one-way trip to being accused of being transphobic against trans men.
people wanna *talk* like, first of all, they know 'where you come from' re: gender, and second of all that 'where you come from' is more significant in predicting your behavior than where you *are* with respect to gender. I don''t honestly think they believe it; it's a misogynistic excuse to shit on trans women.
it's not like trans women are the only population of women who experience misogyny through the lens of being asserted to be men or man-like. this is a major component of misogyny against butch women and various racialized forms of misogyny including misogynoir

Misgendering AMAB trans people
And again I'm not saying that AMAB trans people are immune to socialization ingraining them with shitty behaviours we associate with cis men
I'm saying that A) people seem to jump to that with AMAB trans people extremely quickly and B) framing discussions about their behaviour in this light makes the focus of the discussion the parts of them you assume are still "man at heart" rather than on addressing the behaviour.
2010 began with me thinking I was cis, blue hair, attending college in BK for a graphic design degree.
Now I work for a tech company writing docs.
I've restarted Divinity 2 3 times now. The first two times I was a lizard witch. Now I'm trying to be a dwarf rogue. I create these characters with absolutely no regard for what a good build would be. It's just a matter of, if I want to be a burly short man with an eyepatch and a knife, or a dinosaur that is healed by blood.

Some of you may think freedom to modify software is useful only for techies. I'd like share the story of #scribus, a page layout software replacement to Adobe PageMaker and InDesign. This software only supported English and other Latin languages initially. Then a programmer from Oman, Fahad Amar Salim All Saidi added support for #Arabic with funding from Oman government. Along with Arabic, this change brought support for all Indian languages. #FreeSoftware
Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre were paired up in a series of films together, playing ambiguously gay criminals.
Sydney got immortalized as Kingpin and other large, conniving gangsters, based on his roles where he played a very large and intimidating gangster
Peter got immortalized as Igor, a role he never played, because it never existed in the first place

Shredder is essentially running an afterschool program. One that gets children into trouble rather than out of trouble, but not all that different from sending your kid to do karate at the strip mall dojo.
