Was able to do it for half a year. Then the contract ended and all they had was a job working 4 hours Sat/Sun.

Filed “constructive dismissal” & “loss of hours/pay” for unemployment and walked on em. Oh that was glorious telling that cunt of a supervisor to drive his own ass to my house to get the keys cause fuck wasting more of my gas to bring it to their office two cities away.

Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.

Oh you mean the online topic shit the establishment keeps trying to force feed us. Yea, people need to stop biting that hook. It only legitimizes it like you said.

When I read “ignore their bullshit” I thought you meant taking the Enlightened Centrist™ stance of “turn the other cheek and let them tire out. Don’t start a scene cause it will disturb everyone” type nonsense, as if what they spout isn’t disturbing in itself.

I have some criticisms of how some of the points were made but none that are exactly relevant to the current topic. So, I’ll just say that I don’t fully agree with what is said here.

Nonetheless, the ending, main point is still in agreement.

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented”. —Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and famous author

The issue with ignoring them is they, as well as those being targeted by the oppressive rhetoric, will take the silence as tacit approval. Those who espouse it will be encouraged to further push boundaries of what is tolerable while the victims will be made to feel unsafe existing in public.

This is the point of the “Nazi Bar” story where you kick people out at the first sign of it 'cause, if you don’t and just ignore them, they’ll soon begin to bring all their friends who espouse much worse rhetoric and, soon after that, suddenly you find yourself running the local Nazi Bar as they made everyone else feel unsafe and ran them off, which was their goal from the beginning.

I don’t want them to succeed in their goal.

Yes, it might be effective in getting a rise out of them sometimes to ignore them to their face, but I don’t care about them or their reaction. I care about the people around us who have to listen and be made to feel unsafe existing in the community and to let those people know that there are others in the community who will stand up for them and be willing to put themselves at risk for their sake; to know with confidence that, when push comes to shove, we will stand beside them.

It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.

I don’t really care what they think. If that’s the hill they want to die on, then let them fucking die.

The point of dissenting isn’t to convince them. It is to stand in their way and say “you’re gonna quit this bullshit or we are gonna fucking make you.”

Of fucking course it’s a Trump appointed judge who taught the class and gave out the reward.

Students need to riot until the reward is rescinded and, preferably, the Judge who taught the class is removed from the position. Make both of those motherfuckers terrified to show their faces on campus. Nazi pieces of shit.

Fuck the weak ass interim dean for trying to defend this on the grounds of “we have to remain neutral. He has the right to free speech”. Fuck that “we must tolerate the intolerant” bullshit.

Thankfully, good news, the student was exposed for espousing Nazi rhetoric on Twitter and was subsequently suspended and is barred from campus. He is trying to challenge the suspension which is putting him at risk of expulsion. I fucking hope they throw the book at this Nazi fuck.

Abject stupidity. Usually.

Yea I’m aware. Just flabbergasted by the Hanna-Barbera cartoon villain shit.

This gif was a lot smaller than I expected it to be.

As a Louisiana resident from the swamps.

What the fuck?

I’ll proudly ruin the discussion of people trying to be judgmental twats. Thanks.

Yea. Just entirely fuck the logic that this argument is premised on. People should be allowed to express themselves freely and others should learn to cope with others being different. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Optics aren’t part of the job. That’s utter bullshit. The only thing that is part of that job is driving the bus. Anything else is irrelevant.

People shouldn’t have to moderate their self-expression based on the arbitrary sensibilities of others. That isn’t “healthy and mature” that’s restricting and oppressive.

What’s healthy and mature is learning to cope with the fact others are different and not judging others based on those arbitrary differences or forcing them to conform to your expectations of them.

If you expect others to conform to make you more comfortable even if they aren’t doing anything other than existing (which is what this driver was doing) in a way that is different from you, you can go get fucked. If you’re uncomfortable, the only person whose problem it is to deal with it is you. You don’t get to force others to change for you.

He wasn’t “paying homage” to anything.

He was just having a fun time, which happened to be dressing in the Lolita style, and then named his bus line, placing a sign in the window in reference to the fact it was the line with the driver who dresses in Lolita fashion.

But sure, keep trying to make more assumptions and leaps of logic to confirm your biases.

Love how you assume I’m a fan of it just because I’m defending someone’s right to their own personal expression. Classic leap of logic. Still just as baseless and made in ignorance to still try and claim the fashion trend has anything to do with sexualization of children. Sorry you’re incapable of differentiating it. You should work on that.

And the Lolita fashion scene isn’t the same thing as the otaku lolicons. Again that’s only a tangential relationship from how the term was popularized. But can’t really expect people who make wild leaps of logic to care about something as small as nuance.
