aw i saw shitposts about this and thought it looked pretty fun, like stock trading but without the cruelty and capitalism and crushing horror. like the real stock market sucks shit but i'm baller at the cookie clicker stock market mini game.
yeah, thats what switched me from using it occasionally to never.
the odd occasion i go one some craft subreddit and have to turn my fucking vpn off for embroidery resources i radicalize all over again
no skills
i can absolutely guarantee that a food worker has more skills than me or literally anyone i know in tech
theres a guy at my work who's been incredibly helpful to me and has taken up all of the training that this bullshit company neglected to give me. he is lowkey the reason i still have a job. he has a bit of shaky grasp of the english language and i try to be patient with that and give him a hand, i don't think the rest of the team really talks to him because of his hit-or-miss english. sometimes we'll stay on a call even after work hours have ended to chat about football.
and then, a few days ago, he tells me whats going on in fr*nch politics. this then rapidly progessed into open racism. he complained about immigrants not integrating, and the whole "there are parts of paris that the police are afraid to go to. because of the woke.", and how some socialist freaks don't like isreal and are clashing with police (BASED), and how all arabs are violent; its just innate, its their culture. he, not speaking good english in an english language company, had the gall to bitch about immigrants not knowing french
he even tried to bond with me by being like "don't you guys have the whole knife crime thing? because of the violent immegrants?" FUCK OFF CLAUDE, KNIFECRIME IS OUR NATIONAL FUCKING SPORT ALL ON OUR OWN 
the whiplash from the only person in this company who has ever been decent to me (and is also my boss' boss) turning out to be a rabid reactionary is incredibly unsettling. i don't know what to do, or if i could even keep my job if i mention this to anyone. it was unrecorded, outside of work hours, and hes my only source of support in this bullshit fucking job. so yeah, don't ask, but they might tell you anyway 
was that not the implication? i mean, certainly some of it probably happened, but i did just assume that johhny (drunk madman) was not having the greatest times regardless of whatever he might say.
i figured that the sickening, unnerving, body-horror esq way that the woman with the Pekinese was described was closer to what was actually going on. i figured all these girls were somewhere between absolutely average and just having the worst times of their lives, like johnny, but we were getting his tilted/exagerated perspective - only one of these encounters was actually confirmed to have happened (as much as anything is ever confirmed in this book lol).
i was talking to a general apolitical friend recently and someone else called a dude 'a trot' as an insult, and the well-meaning friend asked why people don't like trots. and honestly, i realised i don't actually know. what do we have against trots? i've not actually read him, but i get the feeling that its something to do with newspapers? 
he plays world of warcraft and, as a wow player, i can tell you that the only cure for that is 
dislikes communists
cat named maggie
damn, i can't believe you named your cat after margaret thatcher 
"i like your shoelaces :D"
unfortunately i am a woman and walking for an hour across town half-drunk at midnight is not the most appealing idea in the world
nor is getting in some random man's car in at midnight tbh
i always saw it spelt "gunner"
... have i accidentally been gooning all of my life
