Nah, the way Microsoft and Edge work still enrages me. I just use both Chrome and Firefox atm, with Chrome behind my VPN and Firefox split tunneled. I'm still on 10, but when I have the freedom to do so I'm going to switch to Linux. I can't just up and do it at the moment because I work through my computer and also game through it, so I need to have a ton of things ensured workable before I switch. That requires time and testing, and in an ideal environment a second system to run in parallel, which I cannot do atm.

I've heard our work may be purchasing work laptops for us, so I might be able to do my switch then.

He did the nasty in the pasty?

Wrong type of beeping, though I mistook it for that too. They mean an alert similar to the seat belt or door audible alerts. People who have some sort of device from their insurance ro monitor their driving get some types of beeps like this already (stuff like decelerating to hard).

It does, but in reality it's only if people know it. If your skin, name, nose, or actions shows your ancestry to be anything other than a certain in-group, then expect less rights. The in-group has changed over the years, but in the past it was only Anglo-Saxon, with Irish and Italians excluded. Some fringe groups are still racist against them, but in general anyone darker than a tan (though if of Latino heritage, tan still may be too far) and for some Jewish people (and no, I don't mean those supporting Palestine or objecting to Israel, I mean real antisemites) are automatically seen as worse, and often times it's subconscious.

I've seen racism against just my first name. I worked for a mom and pops computer store, was one of their techs. Someone with what I was told was a southern/redneck accent called in, and when told Chatoyer would be the name of the tech, they said "what the hell kinda name is Shatiyay, then hung up."

I don't have proof, but I'm 100% sure it has cost me job opportunities as well. Not necessarily from overt racism. Some people here just don't want to deal with anything that makes them uncomfortable or they assume would make them uncomfortable. "What if we get his name wrong and he gets angry about it? John has similar qualifications, let's just get John" etc. I know a boss who passed up women (despite having hired women before and after the one I'm talking about) because he was worried the other guys on the team might talk to frankly or curse too much for a woman.

Sure, but they were also much more primitive, mostly simple replies or copying other comments.

May I remind you Belle Delphine went all in on using weeb culture to get her success. Dunno if she has any actual affinity towards it. Also the amount of women showing off how "breedable" they are in some subreddits I've come across in the past.

Well, it's not only that, a lot of people are wearing costumes, that may or may not cause them to sweat far more than their normal day. A friend of mine wore a costume that involved a dress shirt and a coat, and Sept isn't really cold in GA. He used menthol to cover for his sweat though, so it wasn't too bad with him. My last costume (several years ago, I dunno where all the stuff is and can't afford to remake atm) involved dress shirt, a vest, and a heavy coat (trying to emulate this character) and it was hot as hell, especially in lines outside in the sun.

Even with baths and deodorant for some people in such situations it's not really enough.

I dunno, why do you guys keep asking me?

I think some rural people do things a lot of non rural people don't understand or identify with. Also, I worked with someone who had an adamant position that animals didn't have souls, so punishing people for animal abuse made no sense. When we brought up that animal abuse is a potential indicator for abuse of humans as sell, he said they should be consequence free until they hurt a human. He was also a "but if you don't worship God what's to stop you from doing bad things?" type.

Nah, he's naked because he realized as a frog he doesn't need to care about that shit anymore. No laundry. No shopping for new clothes. Chill.

Honestly I missed the asterisk too, but I assumed instead something was cut from the screenshot.

I cook most of my food myself. Once every couple weeks I might go to a restaurant. Fortunately, I know where my mops have been when I hold em over my food.
