Updating my end of life planning documents to remove references to the folks who pandemic-unfriended me.

[amberchicago.bsky.social @throwaway_acct]

On the one hand, I complain a lot that my friends don't get in touch with me and that my intense isolation since 2020 has truly madly deeply ruined my mental and physical health.
On the other hand, I'd probably rather take myself out of the game than get an iphone.

When you know for certain that your org has no promotion or development path for you, it's easy to conclude that no amount of work-socializing will become professionally useful.

Drinks after work? Nah, I'm good. Employees drawing brighter lines between work and home lives now that more are required in the office at least some of the time https://t.co/DJ6N3xFH3s

@Macaronichelle I'm picturing her taking a big swig while reading the tweet and doing a fully regurgitative spit-take in reaction. In my imagination, the mold discovery is made only after the vom has happened...

@the_torff A car? a NEW car? in THIS economy?

but srsly i guess i'll make sure my bluetooth is off before i get into private cars, idk what else i could realistically do with this information?

@RustBeltRebel Not exactly this, but kinda this. Leo Grande goes facefirst into tackling the many ways that self-ignorance, self-denial, boundaries, and treating others poorly intersect. Good movie.

@vbsp13 What connects "to be fair" with #notALLrichpeople here? What's that first sentence doing, what does it mean

[amberchicago.bsky.social @throwaway_acct]

@tentcityhall if don't think LoTF is creepy, you must not have been one of those thousands. Also, why would you position 'creepy' and 'book' as mutually exclusive as though horror weren't a whole genre wtf

@bobbymillzbillz @prepetualhobo @MilwaukeeAvBike Again? Constantly? It's personal, Bob. It's not "cyclists," it's "the cyclists in your town with a personal vendetta against you, specifically, Bob Miller."

[amberchicago.bsky.social @throwaway_acct]

@bobbymillzbillz 1 Obvious bothsidesing is obvious.

2 A driver outweighs ten cyclists, so a driver is at least 10x assholier than a cyclist. Is what.

@FreeBlckThought Saying one is 'concerned about crime' is in my experience extremely unlikely to have good outcomes (reduction in robberies, for instance) but extremely likely to have bad outcomes (increased funding for police).
There's little practical value in it.

@nataliereed84 I went to a magnet school for gifted. We asked the grownups to get us Midvale t-shirts.

So, yes.

There are companies that read emails?!?

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

There are entire companies run based on reading the first 4 sentences of an email.

This thread is a delight. A nightmarish delight.

Ok we all wanna bring back mammoths with cloning, but there are some weirdos I think we should also consider.

PROCOPTODON: giant pug-faced kangaroo with forward-facing eyes. We think it walked instead of hopping. Early Australians met it & I want to feel what they felt

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

The message here is that working with the police will not protect you from the police. Thinking you can work with/reason with this institution is pointless.

[amberchicago.bsky.social @throwaway_acct]

@benedictevans Maybe don't type entire sentences and then reverse them entirely down thread. You said "Everything about this is so perfect, right down to the haircuts and the lanyards." And we saw you say it. This isn't on the audience, it's on you.

[DVS @DVSblast]

its not a debate & youre wasting your time with people who think it is. they already figured out why they think its ok for someone to kill u too. they got a whole list of "people who have to die so ill be less scared". they even got scared writing the list
