  • Damn. That's fucking awful. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It makes me extra glad for the crew I work with.

  • I hope they've grown a bit because you should only be feeding babies baby oil.

  • *pedophiles

  • You just stop using them.

  • So I just always find it funny some pirates around some communities, get such an egotistical stroking of themselves when they make bold claims as to not having screwed up. They did, just don't want to mention it.

    To be fair, it was pretty easy to not screw up with early piracy. Just don't download or run any executables and you were pretty much safe. Back in the day, you didn't even need a VPN. I've screwed up far more recently than I did back then.

    My favorite screw up was the time my mom got a C&D for me pirating the movie "Law Abiding Citizen". Awful movie but if I still had that letter I would frame it.

  • I agree with OP but I was also considering downvoting because the post just doesn't feel like a shower thought. In the end I didn't but I could definitely see people downvoting for that reason.

    This feels more like an offmychest or casualconversation post than a showerthoughts post.

  • Men who hate women in generally will usually keep it to themselves in public for the most part. They're not going to go on a tirade about how much they hate women to someone they don't think is going to disagree with them, which might explain why you've not seen it personally.

    Exactly this. Misogynists don't talk about that shit with men who they don't already know share the same views. They are universally fragile and insecure. They don't want their beliefs challenged especially not by another guy. The way it works is, if they don't know you they will say something that teeters on the edge of misogyny without being egregious enough that they will get called out for it. If you entertain whatever they say then they'll start going mask off around you because they know you're "safe". If they get rebuffed then they keep the mask on around you.

    I've known a couple of guys where various women have said that they were sexist creeps but I never got that from them. But in hindsight for both of those guys I remember an interaction where they would say something about a woman or women in general which just verged on inapropriate withough going into "dude wtf" territory. Both times I essentially just gave them a weird look and they never got near that line with me again.

    This is why most guys don't see misogyny nearly as often as women do. When a misogynist "tests the waters" with another guy they do it in a way that is subtle enough to seem entirely innocuous in the moment.

  • It's always kind of funny how whenever the facists hold a rally grinder activity surges in the same area.

  • Currently in the trades and I personally haven't seen too much of that but that may also be due to being in MN. We had one guy who was pretty bad but he moved back down to florida pretty quick because he hated living in a "liberal hellscape".

    I agree that most of the team aren't always terribly politically correct in their speech but it's always performative crassness with the boys without any actual hostile intent. For example shortly after I first got hired on I was helping a couple of more senior techs install a new piece of equipment and there was an issue with the equipment so our sales guy who sold it stopped down to check it out. He looked at the issue and said "Well, that's fucking gay." Then he noticed I was there (we hadn't met yet) and he said "Wait, you're not gay are you? Because that's whatever. But this is gay. Uh... A different gay?" But other that stuff like that I've never heard bigotry with any actual intent behind it.

    As far as misogyny goes I haven't heard any from any of the team (other than the prick mentioned earlier). Of course that could also be because our dispatchers are women and pissing off dispatch is a sure fire way to get stuck with the worst jobs. As far as racism goes the closest I've heard is guys hating working on certain sites because most of the people there don't speak english. But even then, the complaint is never about the people but rather about how much of a pain it is to try to communicate technical information across a language barrier.

    That's not to say I work with a bunch of saints of course. Some of my coworkers can be catty as fuck. But if any of the guys ever want to actually shit talk a coworker it's always about the quality of their work or general intelligence. To your point about projection, it is usually the guys that do the worst work whining about the quality of others work.

    It is also still a team of white men who are at least seemingly cishet. But at the same time, we're perpetually hiring and at least over the past year we haven't had any applicants who aren't the same. So we're exactly as diverse as our applicant pool.

  • *gun

  • *fucking

  • Yeah Im calling bullshit on that. There is no way you take a slug of gin and not immediately know you just drank alcohol.

  • Dirty kinetic impactor is the name of my garrage band.

  • Good ol lithobraking maneuver.

  • Do I have to inhale it myself or can I just tape it to a shop vac for an improvised fog machine?

  • Yup. I always kinda took it for granted growing up but now that I'm an adult it's really weird to think about how most people just never learned things like basic first aid and such.

  • The good ol waffle stomp.

  • Not really. This guy is getting dates.
