Tryhard Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 your first mistake was thinking that twitter was anything positive most of the time your second was thinking that anything that could be even distinctly related to politics in such a place could be worthwhile while i can kind of go down the whole pipeline of my opinion on corporate culture it's so played out by this point that I don't think what I say has any merit this is the reason why I and others advocate for complete removal of social media. any time I use Reddit or Twitter to argue it's a pointless endeavour. go subscribe to https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/ is the moral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, it's stronger than me, though I don't use twitter to argue at all because that tends to be ingroups who only want validation, but I do argue quite often on reddit. 12 minutes ago, Tryhard said: while i can kind of go down the whole pipeline of my opinion on corporate culture it's so played out by this point that I don't think what I say has any merit I understand where this comes from, but my problem is with thinking corporate culture invalidates everything around it. It's pretty personal to me because pride is attacked by homophobes and the people that go "it's okay to be gay, but do they have to show it THAT way?", and seeing corporations willing to support it (even if it's only for money, which FOR SURE it is), shows that society has progressed enough to a point in which supporting pride doesn't make you lose profits. The corporations are not "good" for supporting pride (or any progressive cause) and they're 100% only doing it for the money, BUT the fact that they're willing to support it, means society is progressive enough to give them more profits for supporting it than being against it. It's a good sing. 12 minutes ago, Tryhard said: go subscribe to https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/ is the moral That's the problem, I'm cynical like those people, seeing stuff that is positive just for the sake of positivity actually sort of disgusts me. 10 minutes ago, Tryhard said: although I have been guilty of browsing alt-right cesspools seeing how fanatics think is intriguing to me Jesus Christ, IDK how i'd be able to survive this.

Tryhard Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 For sponsoring those events I think is a good thing generally, the one recently I saw was this https://mobile.twitter.com/budweiseruk/status/1134491737920065536?s=21 part of me is like wow they actually acknowledged asexuals and the other part is I wish they didn't The response on this is as you would imagine 5 minutes ago, Nobody said: That's the problem, I'm cynical like those people, seeing stuff that is positive just for the sake of positivity actually sort of disgusts me. Works for me. It's only if a person is constantly overly cheerful all the time in real life that it makes me anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks for this interaction, and I'm sorry if it affected you negatively in any way. Posting here makes me feel better most of the time, and I appreciate your response.

FrostyFireMage Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 man if the only mxm S support in Three Houses is with the most androgynous guy in the game I'm going to blow a gasket On 6/19/2019 at 11:30 AM, Nobody said: Elon Musk posted some 2b art on his twitter without giving credit to the artist and now people are mad at it, but appearently some other people are mad because people are only mad at him for only being mad at Elon Musk for posting "fanart of the Sexie Big Bobie lady from nier without credit" rather than all the "bad shit he's done" and I know for sure that I have to cut twitter from my life just like I cut resetera because it's not good for my mental health it's gotten a lot worse after Tumblr seppuku'd itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's a dry heat. Humidity is what really makes this stuff unbearable. We've got 40°C forecast over here, too. Apparently, it's air right from the Sahara desert. Meanwhile, in Death Valley, 56°C are the norm and I'm dying if it climbs even slightly above 25-26°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Actually the worst is not even the heat at midday, but the night because I live under the roof which means the heat rises up to my floor. Since the night temperature will be around 25 °C, the temperature will not drop below 30 in my room. And I cannot establish climate conditioners because my body, mainly throat, has issues with them. Since I have few hours overtime I will leave at midday. Thankfully I have flexible working times. Edit: Looking up Death Valley's temperature. It will be "only" about 3-4 °C warmer there in mentioned time. Edited June 21, 2019 by Rosalina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I remember it because I started the same discussion not so long ago. I am way too repetitive in complaining. However this forecasted heatwave seriously worries me because of multiple days unable to sleep and going tired and exhausted to work. At least this situation is new to me, and this is bothering me.

Tryhard Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 lord the responses to all of trump's tweets are an absolute dumpster fire in general the fact that people think trump is genuinely anti-war when he has john bolton, mike pompeo and other prominent neoconservatives in his administration makes me want to give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) i'm completely baffled at the fact he considered going to war with Iran. War is obviously disgusting, bad, and the US should absolutely never have gone to war with Iraq or Afghanistan... But Iran is no Iraq or Afghanistan, a war against Iran would be a MUCH bigger mess than Iraq was, and it'd not even be close. Like, I wouldn't even be surprised at nuke threats. Not that Iran has nukes now, but if America started a war against them, they'd surely be tempted (and justified tbh) to make some. But then again, this is Trump, so he's probably bullshitting Edited June 21, 2019 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
