  • Having seen an absolute gob of these comments, I’m inclined to agree. They all read largely the same way, there’s an awful lot of comments for being a 1 day account (easily rivaling some of the most prolific humans we’ve had), some of them make very little sense, and they are all top level with very very very few replies to anyone, but they still address other commenters in their top level comment which is super weird. They also only seem to comment on images. Or at least I haven’t seen any that didn’t.

    There was another account, cosmicpancake, that was basically the same. I didn’t realize they were not the same account. That one was purged.

    Cats also have them. You sometimes see them in the corner of their eye, or partially covering their eyes when they’ve just woken up or are sick or something. They are sort of a translucent milky white.

    It’s because they evolved in desert conditions, from what I’ve read. They can see well enough through them but it protects against sand and stuff.

    My favorite is in early spring, just after all the leaves come fully out but before they darken to their summer colors.

    Driving/riding through dense woods on a still, sunny day (with the windows down, if in car) everything smells fresh and crisp, and the sun streams through the neon green leaves.

    Magical renewal.




  • Eh, I’ve worked in a few call centers and from what I’ve seen, they just constantly hire, training groups for various contracts are frequent, and people are pulled from closed contracts to fill in when people leave or are fired from ongoing contracts. They also tend to overhire for each training group because a lot of people will quit or not be good at it.

    They CHURN, and they don’t give a fuck because everyone is going to burn out or move on in short order anyway. That’s just the nature of the job. If you don’t seem like a good fit quickly they won’t keep you around. Is all metrics.

    They are horrible places to work. Often referred to as “employment of last resort” by employment services people around here.


  • Meanwhile I put my hands in my sweatshirt pockets (zip-up sweatshirt, not pull-over) and flap them like wings while slow-running at them, yelling and stomping each step. Basically do what they do, but I’m bigger.

    I look insane, but they fuck right off, since it’s all signals they understand.

    I used to work at a place that had a sitting pond right against the building with walkways across it and stuff and that was the only way out to the back parking lot… there were always geese… I got fed up and tried that once when I was having a bad day, and it both worked and made me feel a ton better.

    Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)

    Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.

    Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so…

    Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊
