Its like responding to something with kYeah, it's this. Also like when people used to respond "Cool story bro." If you respond to a long message or post with that, and only that, it can sound like you're being dismissive / passive aggressive.

Or I don't even know if I would have that reaction. When you enter a job, you give them your name. I would expect there to be people who knew my name ahead of time. My job has me go to different locations from year to year, and when entering a new place I have definitely had people come up and go, "Hi, are you (my name)?" then introduce themselves. Seems totally normal to me. Her reaction is NOT normal. From what you said, it sounds like more of a her thing. But sometimes people put off creepy vibes without knowing it. Definitely a good idea to talk to a supervisor in case she reports something. And from now on, with this woman, just do whatever the minimum amount of interaction is required for work. Be cordial, but don't do anything else. Definitely don't try to smooth things out by apologizing or explaining over and over again. --- "It's Dyin' time." Captain Bruce Diehard, Die Hard |

In another topic, I saw people saying that the board had gotten worse with bigots, and I have no idea how the hell they came to that conclusion.Well one thing is, I do think transphobia is more prevalent than it was, say, ten years ago. That's not to say that people were less transphobic before. Far from it. I'm sure people were more transphobic. But culture in general was also transphobic. We didn't see people fighting for trans issues as much because there were fewer people supporting them. And their transphobic views were seen as the norm. Plus, because acceptance was so low people just didn't encounter them and so they didn't have a chance to be bigoted. How can you misgender a trans person if you never meet an openly trans person? So trans issues didn't come up as much. Bigots didn't think about trans people much so they didn't have things to say. As trans people become more visible and normalized, they become something the bigots actually might encounter in real life, which makes the bigots feel scared and uncomfortable. So they want to lash out and air their hateful feelings more. The good news is, as it becomes more normalized, the bigots will dwindle in number and become more ashamed to air their true feelings. And eventually things will be much better than before. But we're experiencing a temporary spike right now. That's why I think that right now there is more open transphobia than there used to be. --- "It's Dyin' time." Captain Bruce Diehard, Die Hard |

--There were literally instances where someone posted a topic about white supremacists, white nationalists, or literal Neonazi public figures or "activist" groups, and posters would get modded for referring to said assholes as Nazis, with the mod essentially telling them that it's not okay to Godwin. (Godwin's law actually refers to playing the Nazi/Hitler/holocaust card in online discussions when it is not appropriate.)What makes this even more absurd is that after Charlottesville Godwin himself actually came out to say that no, it's not Godwin's Law when you're talking about actual white supremacists like these, or to make comparisons to Nazis that are based on actual historical parallels. --- "It's Dyin' time."

| action52 04/18/24 7:29:13 PM #31 | When it was active, LUE was basically a less extreme version mid to late 2000s 4chan. So lots of chaos, lots of immaturity, lots of angry flame wars, and lots of dumb shitposting.
Nowadays it's got way fewer people and everyone is old. So there's still dumb shitposting, but not as much and the board is very chill overall. One thing I do like is that there are very few bigots there anymore. The vast majority have gotten themselves banned years ago, and the few that remain know they will just make fools of themselves and be mocked/reviled by almost everyone, so they rarely post their bullshit anymore. --- "It's Dyin' time."

Just wanna sayYeah I remember this used to be annoying. On the bright side, as you play longer it becomes less and less of a problem. Eventually you build up a pool of gems by doing daily commissions and weekly bosses so eventually you should never need to grind again. In the meantime, you can get more by converting other gem types. Even if you're F2P, if you're getting all the wishes you can and using them, that should give you enough stardust to buy all the wishes per month while still having some left over to buy conversion materials. --- "It's Dyin' time."

| Topic | Oh shit they're making Happy Gilmore 2 lol |
| action52 04/11/24 6:46:08 AM #2 | I'm cautiously optimistic.
There was a time when it felt like every Happy Madison movie was just going through the motions, and was little more than an excuse for Sandler to take his family and friends on a free vacation somewhere. Sometimes they might have one really great idea but the rest of the movie is boring (like Dunkaccino in Jack and Jill). But in the last five years or so, it does feel like they're actually putting in real effort to make movies with a lot of jokes that are genuinely funny. They're not as good as the 90s movies but still pretty funny. Also I think Happy Gilmore was the most successful they've ever been at making a likeable character out of the Adam Sandler comedy persona. --- "It's Dyin' time." Captain Bruce Diehard, Die Hard |

Okay, yes, that is correct.No, it's not correct. Dancing baby is from 1996. The term "internet meme" was coined in 1993, in reference to memes going around on message boards, Usenet, and email. Here is one of the first memes to catch on, a New Yorker cartoon from 1993: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/489a8896.jpg This the first either, as there have been memes basically since the internet started existing. --- "It's Dyin' time."
