atheist99303yWazaaaaa
Also, I try to use gender neutral language when referring to groups. So, howdy folks also works. -

C0D4681383yHi @Elliot, welcome to our small box of time and space which may or may not be in a relative dimension.
@atheist "guys" in the group sense, not the biological sense, although some people do get it confused and it's not supposed to be derogative,
Folks on the other hand can be considered as calling me old so can't win there either.
On that note, I've only found 1 person so far in my life that took offence to "guys" because... well they were just that easy to offend.
So, π€·βοΈ can't please everyone I guess. -

@rEaL-jAsE ah! It's simple.. you always have a green background when you pick a new profile.. π
No need to appreciate my smartness now π -
dfox428273y@C0D4 hmm weird, I’m on iOS 15.1 and seems fine. When did they stop working for you/what version?
-
C0D4681383y@dfox it was working earlier today.
Just checking I haven't got some notifs disabled somehow.
Running iOS15.1
Focus mode is disabled
And devRant has immediate delivery for notifications. -
atheist99303y@C0D4 "this term has multiple meanings and so we should ignore the social implications such as exclusion because it's an ingrained convention even though other languages have the exact same convention and eg include both genders on job ads".
I know the definition fuck wad, I'm making the suggestion to use more inclusive language. -
C0D4681383y@dfox ok that's weird, I got @atheist comment one, but not your ++ π€
Let me try the old off and on again trick.
@floydimus, @rEaL-jAsE spam me for a bit π€€ -
atheist99303yY'all also works, but you need a texan accent to really pull it off.
Also, it's not about whether people are offended enough to tell you about it. -
-
C0D4681383y@atheist
Fine, I shall call everyone a fuck wad from now one. π
Actually, this could be as inclusive as I'll ever get. -
@atheist see see how polite @c0d4 is.
Gotta learn from him now eh?
My entry would be 'cunt'. Example below
@real-jase oi cunt.. give me a golden shower too -
C0D4681383y@Floydimus get out of my shower cunt, this liquid gold is all mine. Allllll mine I tell ya.
-
atheist99303yI like that this is a post by a newbie, when they read it they're gonna be totally confused and get a really good intro to the site.
-
C0D4681383y@atheist why better way to quaint yourself with the locals then to jump right in with... wait, what were we talking about?
Oh right. This is supposed to be @Elliots initiation post, although we did bring the golden shower so that counts right? -
C0D4681383y@theabbie @NoOneCares @Eklavya
My evil plan is working π€
Welcome to the madness.
@katvoira I don't know what's worse then, being exclusively "the girl" or being inclusively "one of the guys"
I guess it depends on how you perceive it really. -
we can make it the most commented post, current record is held by me, 716 comments.
-
dootlurk6313y@C0D4 I've worked in male-dominated places almost my whole career... "one of the guys" is completely fine, as I'm very often (and about to be again) the only woman present. Singling me out feels completely wrong, like I'm an alien or something!
-
atheist99303y@katvoira for a moment I was like "how do you only have 150++, you've been around ages" then I looked through your posts, realised I'd already upvoted most of your posts/comments, you're just not that active.
-
dootlurk6313y@atheist I expect to get waaay more active when I move jobs and become a Real Developer (TM), but I'm also just a lurker for the most part :p
-
C0D4681383y@theabbie it's 1200+ with a lot of fucks.
@atheist she is still a young padawan in the realm of the rantees.
Wait, how have I not updooted her before π¨let me go fix that.
@katvoira I prefer the inclusive but wrong, over the exclusive but right approach myself. -
atheist99303y@C0D4 I think I've dealt with shit (eg there's been depression in my family since I was 10), and I'm fairly open about shit (I remember standing up in one of my school lessons when I was like 14/15 talking about antidepressants as "happy pills", they're not, they help take away the down but don't necessarily replace it with an up), and at some point people started talking to me about their shit, and I've got more of my own shit goin on, so I'm vaguely aware and try to encourage better habits but I'm also fairly blasé unless someone is upset or being a jerk.
-
C0D4681383y@theabbie it was a real user, looks like I didn't get a screenshot of it.
But I did find out lowest downdooted so that's something -
C0D4681383y@dfox it seems more notifs are coming through this morning then last night, but for reference.
@rEaL-JaSe should have created a good 60 notifs in ++ alone, π€ which it looks Iike he deleted his account for the billionth and 1 time again. -
@atheist @Floydimus
Yeah when I enter the office I always avoid "Hey guys"
"Hey retards" is more accurate and inclusive. -
@Demolishun
To work for my employer you have to be:
A) Either openly or closeted retarded
B) Retardcurious
C) Smugtarded: Acting dumb because of stubborn arrogance
D) A manager
E) Me, a loyaltard: Retarded by virtue of loyalty for the company.
Yeah I'm actually the worst one.
I keep working with idiots because I feel "passionate about the product". Ugh. Disgusting.
hello , guys.
