TOSSAWAY_1··on Lumber mania is sweeping North America
What evidence do you have that its temporary?

Im so confused as to why theres a subset of people who seem to think i am against companies running as the please? Is it because my opinion is so opposite yours?

I agree, run your clubs and businesses as you want. I will do the same. I support Blizzard in this respect, I just wont with my dollars or time.

From my experience I've heard the word toxic in common parlance for about eight years and its just part of a common trend for the common mind.

The same minds that gave me shit for plainly stating that light speed wasn't sexist in a 1982 class room, I'm sure.

I prefer the 'toxic avenger' style usage from the past.

What? I just dont give money to companies that im my view are authoritarian.

I agree that private companies can do as they please.

Im not warring in any greater sense than im warring against big business when I buy a recycled product over another. I support companies that, in my view, support principals I care about.

Just want to chime in and say I'm actually personally very affable and I do not rant and rave online. I just have no issues with those who do.

Smells to me we're a couple of crying fat kids away from banning people for pulling a Leroy Jenkins.

Because I can? I said nothing about anonymity. Odd...

I'm from an age when anominity was a good thing. But do encourage all the current folks to move away from it, because I want to see them fail.

Lol I dont support any social media company. Social media is a net negative for the human experience, but that's just my opinion. I'm just a person who found the internet more fun before it needed to be safe for day time television watchers.

Exactly. I can tell where I'm not wanted. Enjoy!

Edit: sorry I caught this before your edit to include popular buzzwords like "toxic". Good for you, I'm actually looking for games and experiences that are outside the realm of sanitized things my mother would like.

And I'm sorry about your girlfriend, it was likely my girlfriend giving her so much shit. She's a real sailor when she gets going. And mean too!

TOSSAWAY_1··on Do you have any opinion on what’s going on at Basecamp?
Yes, but its general, I don't like the sjw and post modernist turn the field has taken.

We've sunken so low you cannot even cleanly mention that wage gap is a myth and had always been a myth. You definitely cant mention the wage gap was taught to most children, erroneously, by public educators.

In this case I'm hearing the catalyst is some drama around a list of client names that are funny.

Is that at all controversial? That sounds timid. I prefer a rougher, more humor filled life, and I suppose the only way to do that is be vigilant when hiring.

TOSSAWAY_1··on The ‘Pyramid of Hate’ That Brought Down Basecamp
That's, like, your opinion, man.

I am more interested and likely to reccomend basecamp than ever.

And would like to see this list of funny names.

TOSSAWAY_1··on “About one-third of Basecamp employees accepted buyouts today”
I think im going to try Basecamp now.
TOSSAWAY_1··on My Boyfriend Has Two Girlfriends. Should I Be His Third?
I grew up in a polyamorist home, my father had two live in 'wives' the entire course of my childhood and they are still together.

I assume it was like most families. A total mess with phases marked by warring jealous women. While one is my mother, I was raised by both and treated differently by both.

Good times, I wish it on everyone.

TOSSAWAY_1··on “As an Asian American, I will just leave this here.”
Hirono effectively said they're fine with this form of discrimination. Its not an endearing statement or point.

But I like your last line, indeed, all discrimination matters.

TOSSAWAY_1··on “As an Asian American, I will just leave this here.”
Not even remotely surprising. In fact this was on the ballot so you know where you peers fall on this sort of thing.
TOSSAWAY_1··on Suicide has become rarer during the pandemic
Such a hard argument to make. I tend to stick to the pre-covid argument: if you want safety, stay home.

I dont understand pretending to argue against the science -- of which i'll just point to rosemary kennedys expert medical advice and move on.

TOSSAWAY_1··on Investors in uproar over Biden’s proposed capital gains tax rise
I hear nature says the same thing when a queen ant expires.
TOSSAWAY_1··on Why has no one made a better Goodreads
lol yeah. that does make me happy.
TOSSAWAY_1··on Is the trend of Turing.com/Andela/Upstack moving US remote dev jobs to overseas?
Im pretty sure that was on the ballot during the recent election and the Americans voted against that sort of protectionist mindset.
