Referencing #metoo with a play on the name of the Pokemon Mewtwo. If memory serves, it wasn’t uncommon for allegations of misconduct to be made through Google docs.

Through global warming we will boil the entire world.

I would argue you’re never going to be treated with more respect by a company than during the interview process. Once you’re on the payroll you have an incentive to tolerate objectionable treatment. If a company is willing to be this audacious in the interview stage I would have little hope of it getting better in that regard.

It seems to be necessary that they both be personally affected, and recognize that, for them to start caring.

Same, but I can’t seem to get Voyager to actually do instance blocking. It has the option, but it seems to not work.

I nearly left lemmy because of Hexbear. Learning they could be blocked salvaged the platform for me. It’s not just you - they are pretty widely reviled.

It does not seem uncommon for guys who are friendly with one another to throw insults at one another in a non-serious manner. That’s not really the relationship I have with my friends, but it is a thing. I’m not aware of that being much of a thing without some degree of established rapport though. He could have just been doing friendly ribbing as he said, but I think it’s more likely that he decided he was more annoyed at me than at you.

I am impressed by how clever that was. Well done.

Me: That doesn’t seem right. OH. Oh, I am stupid.

GFY is ‘go fuck yourself’ most likely. Classy.

Edit from douchehorn: It’s good there was no class intended, because there was none.

I am, yes. What are you suggesting he’d be losing instead? Water weight? If it’s that, you can lose that without ceasing drinking beer at all. It seemed to me that the implication was the fella could lose 10 pounds that would stay off by stopping alcohol consumption, which water weight would not.

Is there something else l am missing?

I don’t understand what you’re asking me.

You’re drinking over 11k calories a day in beer?

I do not have this drawer.

I have two of this drawer.

Out of This World! No wonder the name looked weird to me. I had to look it up because it’s been so long I forgot the name!

I don’t know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it’s one of the best video games ever made, oddly.

Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.

That game is the shit. It’s even easy to play on Windows now, which was very much not the case back in the day.

Is this whole instance like this? Like, is this another hexbear?

I actually am genuinely interested in that fellow’s reasoning behind believing both that his job of managing people is successful, and also that all the people he managed do not like being managed by him.

Anecdotally, I have encountered workplaces containing a manager or employee that was universally disliked, and it was never because they were doing an awesome job. They did appear to think that people disliked them personally but benefited from their results. Often they seem to also believe those results would be unachievable in ways that do not produce the distaste. I am not sure these contradictions are entirely defensible.
