I dont work in IT but minor, minor, minor tweaks in the wording describes basically every job ive ever had.
“Wake up sheeple!”
“OK cool youre right I see now, I understand. What are we gonna do about it?”
“They’ve played you for fools! WAKE UP SEE WHATS HAPPENING”
“Yeah I see its awful. How can we help?”
“You’re a pawn in their game WAKE UP”
“Fuck it gonna go have a wank”
Lots of people going for the downvote button but still no better word for the concept has come up.
Which is a shame. I was hoping to find a word where you could use the meaning without the topic suddenly changing to sexism.
I liked the idea that god has a perfect plan and its all going to work out in the end and he’s got it all under control. Then one day I sat down to try and read the bible. Within 5 minutes of reading god makes everything from nothing, then basically says “whoops” and nukes everything and starts again.
Sorta makes me a little nervous.

I doubt he’ll have nearly as much public support. I think the MAGA crowd are like a cult with a Great Leader. If anyone else tries half the shit Big D pulls they wouldn’t get away with it.

Self censoring is hard to deprogram yourself out of, and by the time theyre comfortable with freedom of language again who’s to say it won’t be the same story here?
Is there a better term for it?
I feel like mansplaining as a word is similar to feminism as a word. It has assumption of gender rooted into it but its gone past that at this point.

You become aware of the futility of existence, how in another 50 years if youre lucky none of this will matter in the slightest because you’ll be dead, just as life becomes the hardest to cope with.
So anyone 25-40 and still pretending to smile - youre a fucking warrior.
I cant find the relevant SMBC.
Hey Supe, I just drank a fifth of whiskey, dare me to drive?
I get people giving me judgemental looks with the tablet at the dinner table when out in the wild. Im always tempted to take it off her when people look at me funny, they can see what happens.
Low volume blippi is annoying as shit, I get it, but also so is me running past your table every 30 seconds carrying her back, or the full-blown mortal screaming if I strap her to the chair.

I typically see one about 4 times a week, no clue if its the same one or not, they all look pretty much the same.
Its very very very common to see them flattened in the roads though, which is a shame.
