@shit-piss-love If I were to read the room, it would be because I suspected a tough crowd.
You are not that. You’re just the clamor of any group with low confidence and cracked self-esteem looking to exercise some form of power, ie doing to others etc etc.
You even sound exactly like Wizard.
@Pavel The entire thing was a nightmare from start to finish. If your background wasn’t being revised constantly, it was your stats or your advantages or…
I meant to jump into this thread earlier, but I had to mull over what I wanted to say.
You know when you should feel anger, but it’s just a kind of lingering sickness? Like being stood up by Patrick Bateman.
@somasatori I provided an annotated bibliography and just like in grad school, I was “making up nonsense” and “wasting precious research money”
@spiriferida If I stop now, I’m going to look really stupid with all these chandeliers, chaises, and Big-Chill style dramatic curtains that blow dramatically.
Sometimes you just have to own your terrible interior design choices.
@shit-piss-love My horoscope is more accurate than this, and it didn’t require sorting declaratives in inefficient loops.
That last line is pure poetry. “Meanwhile, in the real world, federal criminal law and white-collar dip tests keep us on our toes.”
laughs out loud
I hope someone is kind enough to explain this to you. A “white collar dip test” describes exactly this community as we see it. I’m never going to forget that ^_^
On the other hand, I have both tacos and hashish, and it’s time to forget the day with a shitty Californian red.
You may return to your tepid, toothless discussion. I’m out.

@spiriferida Professional blackmail?
Just out of curiosity, do you think federal criminal law has a white-collar dip test for financial fraud?
@shit-piss-love In my day we had character, which meant you were traumatized but always had a snappy remark on-hand just in case.
ChatGPT? No. Ask Jenn. I’m just holding conference calls, so you’re getting my split attention.
Edited to add, I was going to reference Anita Loos but what a wasted reference.
@shit-piss-love I forgive fast.
If someone promises to key my neighbor’s car, I’ll open the higher shelf booze and roll some joints.
He’s one of those people who moved from obnoxious fake tickets to bumper stickers on cars he… disagrees with. Deal with him and we can all party.
@Warma-Sheen I’m trying to imagine this group of people trying to operate in life, to navigate the world of adulthood, but this is difficult with these wild emotional whirlpools.
