Haha didn’t even think of that. Yeah, you go to /all and it’s literally page after page of the same 7 news articles being auto-postec across 32 communities with the same name on different instances. On a platform where this is problem inherently exists, how does one complain about reposts?
- Comment on BzzzzzzZZZZzzzzZZzzzzz Bruv 1 day ago:
Oh shit, we’ve added another Reddit feature, of people complaining about seeing the same post 100x despite it being upvoted by people who obviously never have! The “everything must only be posted ONCE!!1!!” feature, one of my favorites

Industrial weighing/packaging equipment.
- Comment on Huh? 2 days ago:
Yeah, unfortunately it’s a pretty specialized field. The company is less than 20 people, and the amount of people that were on those calls was less than 10.
We just have 2 people that are salaried to deal with it, now, so not my monkey, not my circus.

My company sells and services industrial equipment, we used to have a 24/7 phone line we had to answer. People would call us at like 2am to try and diagnose the most obscure shit imaginable, the answer they’d get is “hmmmrrebblle. Uuhhrm. YeahIthinkIknowwhatthatmightbeuhhhh… Gimme just a sec…”

Not only a good idea, but indicative of positive growth.

Keep the stare for about 10 seconds until it starts to get uncomfortable for everyone, and then just say “hmm” while maintaining eye contact.
Pull out a little notebook and write some shit in it, put it back in your pocket, look back at them quickly then continue as if nothing happened.

If you’re eating this like a normal pizza, it would get more tame as you went. Seems counterintuitive

“prepared-core flake-based tool-making” is probably funnier than the comic imo

I don’t really care what you think it sounds like. I let the people who actually know me and myself be the judge of my character. If you spent 45 seconds in the same room as me you’d feel pretty silly for implying my homophobia.

Are you not judging them as “gross”?

My favorite Tshirt says, “Be Gay. Do Crimes.”
I love the LGBTQ community and am often mistakenly assumed to be a part of it, to which I take zero offense (and usually don’t bother correcting).
People that make every aspect of their personality revolve around being gay annoy me and I usually don’t associate with them.
People that make every aspect of their personality revolve around being a furry annoy me and I usually don’t associate with them.
as there’re weird people who take it too far in any fandom, whether that’s Marvel, trains, anime, furries, or whatever else
Precisely.
but not the weirdest thing to say by any means.
Yet multiple people are coming out to let me know that I’m homophobic, bigoted, etc.
Can we also just take a moment to acknowledge that we’re in the shit posting community?

I was gonna write a response to this but it was pretty much just a rephrase of my other response. tl;dr I don’t hate furries as mentioned and idc if you’re amongst the “normal about their hobby” crowd but in more than one instance I’ve encountered people very not normal about their hobby and I choose not to associate with them. 🤷🏾♂️

I mean that’s ok lol. I have a small number of former and current friends that are or were furries, they wear their foxtail keychain and have their drawings as their phone background and we go about our business. At my college, I had two classes with someone who was not so subtle, and would somehow always find a way to talk about their fursona… that’s their business, I don’t hate them for doing it, but they’re not the kinda person I wanna hang out with.
If that makes me a bigot I’m generally not a very good one.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
zoomers are fine with furries, alpha even more so. you’re not going to win this just stop.
Who’s trying to win anything? Weird that you think that a bunch of 13 year olds being ok with something means OP is lying about not being ok with it…
For the record, I don’t “hate” furries, I won’t stop talking to someone because they’re a furry, but if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we’re probably not gonna get along.

turn-based JRPGs
Oh, is that what the game is?
I won’t be playing it either 😅

They are canonically in the same universe, there are references to Black Mesa in Portal 2
- Comment on A dedicated section in my Steam library 2 weeks ago:
I mean to each to their own, and I’m not gonna try to be one of the people trying to convince you your opinion is wrong, but saying “I don’t like the combat in rpg games” in my mind sounds like “I don’t like the main character in Sci Fi movies”. Baldurs Gate, Skyrim, and The Witcher are all RPGs with entirely different combat systems… seems odd to me to to say you’d play none of them for that shared reason

people could start 3D printing AR-15 ghost guns
I’ve heard from people that they’ve been doing this already, quite successfully, for years.

Interesting! Thanks for the info
- Comment on Slicer software for a Linux system? 3 weeks ago:
Linux (Mint) and Nvidia GPU here. I use Cura. There is a weird bug where, if you open a file right after the program loads, it will act as if nothing happened (you can open menus, rotate the view etc) for maybe a minute until the model pops up and you can go about your business. Other than that, no issues.

Isn’t that who I described? My high school lifeguard class involved CQC weapons courses and Hispanic identification training
- Comment on Not sure about this one 3 weeks ago:
Ah yeah very different here in US. Our lifeguards carry M16s and routinely harass and deport Mexicans. Drowning is an arrestable offense
- Comment on Not sure about this one 3 weeks ago:
I’m picturing an elite force of plain-clothed lifeguards pretending to be tourists with the same energy as undercover cops trying to buy weed off of people.
