My boss is a real one and will drop me a message saying can we have a word outside, p.s. it’s nothing bad.

I am lucky that I found an employer who actually cares about us and the work is truly second to our mental health.

Malevolent is such a nice word.

For those, like me, that didn’t know its meaning. It means malicious.

Fuck Moody’s.

Why does ChatGPT have a different writing style to you as it does to me.

People can be weird but spending time worrying about something so unlikely is a waste imo.

Nope. Grew up in a pretty rough town and you kinda know a lot of the undesirables. I’ve been alive for over 40 years and only once confronted in the street.

I’ll take walks home in the early hours of the morning (02:00) through very dark secluded areas.

Now if there was a pattern of people being attacked here, then I’d be taking a different route but I tend not to worry about things like this as it’s incredibly rare and the stress of worrying probably does more damage to your health than a would be attacker.

Edit: Have an example from a few days ago. Me and a couple of friends went for a smoke and a walk through a Forrest in pitch black with a flash light and I was more concerned with the bugs getting in my sliders than being murdered 😂.

Oh fuck off pal. You sound like a child.

I have no interest in looking good my friend. I’m just as flawed as the rest of us.

Clearly. As I’m not insufferable, whereas you’ve got that on lock.

Attacking the labour I see and not the system they have to get by in.

Like i kind of get it, I’m a software developer and would never work for a gambling company, but I ain’t out here shitting in those who do.

This place is constantly shilling Linux, decrying LLMs, and downvoting anything that doesn’t fit the status quo.

Don’t get me wrong I like this place on the whole, but I’ve just come to realise nobody here actually wants to engage with anybody different and just dog piles.

We are the left wing version of r/conservative.

Are you generalising 6000 people here or MS?

I hear these and I’ve had some therapy but I don’t know how to believe the lines and not dwell.

Apparently so 😂

Thanks so much for this.

Hey that seems super cheap for a keyboard.

Do you happen to have any of the links to the ones you bought?

Thanks for this info.

I’ll check out AliExpress next time I see something interesting.

Not at all. Certainly saved me buying something on impulse for no reason at all.

I do tend to do most of my purchasing locally if I can and I don’t shop at Amazon and I’m actively trying to boycott American companies.

I am curious about quality though. China makes everything pretty much so it’s likely most of the stuff comes from the same factories making good stuff?

Valid. I should have stuck to my disbelief in this as a viable business model, but clearly people are using it.
