Maybe while I am checking in on my local farm co-op’s list of available produce this week, Facebook will also help me out by giving me some very healthy ideas about gender roles that I can apply in my day to day life.

holy fuck that is good
I weep for humanity.
on a local page a post was made about a motorcycle or scooter parked directly into those diagonal slashed lines next to handicap spaces that are intended to be loading zones for ramps and stuff. 99% of the reaction was people SIDING WITH THE MOTORCYCLE somehow, and then I got into this interaction after posting “I’d kick it over.”
there’s nooooooooooo way I can catch a ban for that i think, but I’ve been wrong every single time so far

You’re not wrong, but I’d say that well over half the people I see with handicap placards just get out of their cars and walk just the same as I wound. Obviously, there could be all sorts of stuff relating to their particular condition that I would not be able to perceive from a casual glance, but still, my brain has a reflex that says “Why the fuck does that guy need a handicapped spot?”, and it’s hard to turn off and remind myself that I shouldn’t be so quick to judge, especially if seen regularly.
I suspect that experiences like this are the foundation for the lack of empathy that you observe. I’m not saying it’s right, just that I understand where it might come from.

at least half the people with them don’t really need them. you get them by default if you have arthritis which is nearly everyone over 70. but i have arthritis, the condition isn’t constant, some days you need it, some days you don’t.
I tried and failed to get one over the years, I have this same level of irritation, but the pic is really flagrantly someone being an ass. it’s like that loading zone you’re never ever supposed to park in.
The H3H3 podcast did an hour long bit on going into the meta verse where the host went into the meta verse. It was amazing to see how crappy the metaverse is and how cheap it looks. That Facebook has invested billions into what looks like something a group of kids in 1997 could make is shocking.
That he thinks this is the foundation for the future of mankind is beyond laughable.

There is a little movement in the HR world of corporations where some people are advocating that the metaverse is somehow going to be the key that unlocks the “hybrid” office/WFH conundrum. Like if we’re all in the metaverse in a meeting, it doesn’t matter where we are in the real world! I am not optimistic.
if there was some way to long short meta i’d go literally all in at this point.
even people that are supposed to like hybrid like me actually hate it. his solution solves none of the problems about hybrid.
The pipedream is that in a metaverse everyone would feel like they would all be together in the office again, but you wouldn’t actually have to force people to go to the office. So you’d be able to claim that you have a flexible WFH policy, but managers would get everyone back in the office for supervision the way they want. I don’t think it would work at all, but that’s the idea.
what is “supervision” anyway? like we’re not taking personal calls or personal texts at work? everyone does it… a big thing I like at my current company is it is just generally understood you’re gonna take care of personal shit during the day. as long as you get your job done who cares.
in my mind if i’m employing technical people and they need to be closely supervised to do their job i hired wrong.
Useless middle managers with nothing to do but LARP “management”.
