I SUCK AND LOVE TO YELL PERFORMATIVE HOT TAKES AND NONSENSE LIES WHEN I GET WORKED UP. SOMETIMES AUTOBANNED IS BETTER. MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN I STORM OFF I'LL ACTUALLY STOP SHITTING UP THE SITE FOR REAL

We got a resume at the other company for a graphic artist that was very flowery and pink, like a non-pony version of that one. She got hired based on her credentials, but she ended up being a bizarre womanchild who got let go within 2 weeks because she annoyed the entire staff so badly that people were literally hiding from her to avoid her talking to them.

When she got told that she wasn’t working out, she refused to leave for 2 hours demanding to know what she did wrong and running around asking other people what they didn’t like about her.

Soooooo what was wrong with her besides you were scared of a womanchild?

Wait, what? I assumed the Time Cube guy was some old psycho.
What happened?

Its explained in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7lWCqbgQnU

I had no idea what time cube was other than something weird and racist, but its way mor than that. The TLDR about the suicide thing is this kid from Australia really bought into Time Cube, and eventually he got to meet Gene Ray, he recorded the whole thing where it seems like the kid is pretty unimpressed by meeting Ray but something happened after the visit where Ray condemed the kid which eventually lead to a mental break that ended with him throwing himself in front of a train before a bunch of people.

Ray didn't really seem to care.

Did you consider that maybe he just got fired from every other job because his bosses were jealous of his b-ball skills? And that's why he didn't put any of them down? Huh? Did you?! Hire me damnit!!!

To be fair, the amount of lovely manchildren who have stable jobs makes me raise an eyebrow when someone fires a woman for being a lovely womanchild. I'm sure there's more to it than that, though.

If it was apparent she was a lovely womanchild within two weeks it's a lot easier to let her go than someone who's made it past the initial period.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

No, glomp was the sound a friend’s stitches made two weeks post-surgery when someone pulled that poo poo at a convention. No damage done thankfully but that turned friend’s opinion around on the whole glomping thing real fast. Previously it seemed harmless to them, huge wakeup call when they almost got hurt then recognized the consent issues, etc (this was someone in their very early 20s fwiw).

FUCK THE ISLE OF APPLES. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES.
If we're still doing terrible first dates, I have mine:

I was 15 or so, going out to a roller-skating date (I'm an old gramma, deal with it) with a ~boy~ I'd met at a church function. He was nice and cute and funny and I quite liked him. We chatted the whole way to the skating rink, with me being extra polite to his dad, who was driving.

When we got to the skating rink, lo and behold, I knew someone there already! My much older sister's ex-boyfriend, Nick, was skating around. I waved to him and went to get my skate rentals, thinking nothing else of it.

Apparently, 24-year-old-Nick took this as a come-on from me (FIFTEEN!) and would. not. leave. my. side. the whole night. He kept grabbing my hand and running his hands up and down my sides. "You're so much cuter than your sister, like a tiny version of her, ha ha..." My actual date kept staring daggers at me the whole time - this was before "being a decent dude" meant things like "making sure your date is actually okay and not just ditching you". My date refused to speak to me while Nick kept forcing himself on to me. He tried to kiss me, which I wormed away from. I hadn't kissed anyone at 15, and wasn't about to have my first experience be with a wormy pedophile.

I finally managed to extricate myself and flee, only to find that my date had left without me, because, again, this was a different time and he was mad that "the whore" (that'd be me) "ditched him" (read: was being molested) the whole night. I begged a ride home from some stranger's mom, because there were no cell phones and I wasn't about to accept a ride from Nick.

That night, when I told my sister what had happened, she shared her own situation with me. She'd broken up with creepy Nick a while back, and he had threatened suicide to try to get back at her / with her (wasn't clear which one it was). In those pre-cell-phone days, she'd had to keep him on the line and frantically write a note to my mother to have her run to our neighbor's house to use their landline to call the police.

What I'm saying is men are terrible :)

There definitely were. I can’t remember why I didn’t use them. Probably wasn’t thinking too clearly and / or didn’t want to stand outside the closed roller rink for an hour in the dark waiting while nick was there.

He was trying to get to flavortown, but fell asleep.

So working through though Down the Rabbit Hole and got ot the more recent episodes, which is about Final Fantasy house, which is some prime AUG written content. Of course Goons are involved, apparently one dated one of the people involved.

https://youtu.be/lFRjrLmc_4c

LIke holy poo poo right off the bat it some college kid being convinced to live with (I can't tell if its two women or a man and a woman because one claims they were actually Genova and the other Hojo from FF7) and basically become their slave. It gets really confusing but the woman who thinks she has the Soul of Genova has some religion where people were actually other FF7 (and other JRPG) characters. It involved a ritual where they chanted while ff7 idled in the background claiming to put the souls in their bodies. THis poo poo is just :stare:

I do enjoy seeing forum posts from goons I recognize in the video.

How about an AUG company? I keep getting fed ads for these people. Imagine being this fragile.

quote:

IN A WORLD OF WEAK HANDSHAKES, HERE'S A FINGER-CRUSHING INTRODUCTION.
Duke Cannon hails from a simpler time. A time when the term handyman was redundant. A time when chivalry and patriotism weren’t considered old- fashioned. A time when you never put the word salad next to bar.

But something happened along the way. Men were encouraged to put down their lug wrenches and pick up their phones to hashtag for help. Substance was replaced by the flash of guys taking selfies. And instead of getting up before dawn to build railroads, men started going to the gym at 9 a.m. to ride pretend bicycles.

As any historian worth his salt will tell you, this country was built by folks with a sense of purpose. Duke Cannon’s purpose is simple: to make superior-quality grooming goods that meet the high standards of hard-working men. Our products are tested by soldiers, not boy bands. And they’re made in a little place we like to call the United States of America.

We value things like hard work, family, community, bacon and country; we champion builders, creators, sledge hammerers, holders of doors and fixers of toilets; we have the utmost respect for teachers and farmers and soldiers and first responders—so it’s no wonder good folks feel right at home in Duke Cannon Country.
