Severance

[(Anonymous)]

as in the Apple TV show. Who's watching Season 2?

Re: Severance

[silverusagi]

I am! I’m liking it so far.

Re: Severance

[(Anonymous)]

Here!
I am loving it so far.
I was scared that season 2 would kill all my love for season 1, but at least for now it's going great
Also (outie) Dylan's storyline hit me way too hard. That is so close to home D:

Apple TV, anyone watching Apple TV?

Thread for anyone looking for recs or wanting to share some.

Good large heating pad

[philstar22]

Anyone have a rec for a good, large-size heating pad? I had one for almost 5 years that was great, but it died a year and a half ago. They stopped making that one. I've had 3 since then, same large size, but not nearly the same quality. Some parts don't get hot, other parts get overhot. And they die quickly.

I just want a nice heating pad that can cover my back or wrap around my head that actually works properly.

Re: Rec/Request Thread

Anyone have a rec for some published, queer erotica? Or fantasy novels with erotic themes?

Best Place to buy a PC?

[kaijinscendre]

I want to get a new PC before they get crazy expensive. My current one is fine but definitely starting to show its age. Plus, if I get a new one, I can gift my nephew my current one.

So, where have yall bought a gaming PC from?

Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Have you in the past, let's say as far back as when you were 15 years old until now, ever said or done something that you would now consider bigoted?

Any sort of bigotry counts and no need to bog this down with "bigoted by whose standards?!?" because we're strictly talking about younger/past-you as judged by older/present-you.

You don't have to say what it was, that isn't the point. I'm only curious: what % of us would pass a multiple decade purity test?

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

I'll go first, I wouldn't pass. Teen me was sheltered and dumb.

Re: Purity test time!

[philstar22]

Yes. I was massively homophobic before. Due to my upbringing mostly. It was fandom and then my liberal law school that knocked sense in to me. And eventually helped me realize I wasn't straight either.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

As I said yesterday, I wouldn't pass that test. There's a lot of stuff I had to push against and figure out on my own.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, of course. I grew up in a conservative area. It takes time to unlearn all of that stuff.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Pretty sure I was subconsciously rascist for awhile there because I grew up in a town with literally zero people of color. I didn't think I was rascist, but I had only tv stereotypes in my brain since I had never actually encountered a real live non-white person until I was in my 20s.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Can't say I remember but then again most of my memory of being 15 has been blocked due to trauma.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Of course, and I would go so far as to distrust anyone who claims they have never said or done anything bigoted before.

That would only tell me they are firmly unaware of any unconscious biases they may have had back then or have now and might refuse to acknowledge them if pointed out.

Re: Purity test time!

[thewakokid]

Nope. Literally never.

It's not that I think of myself as particularly virtuous, its just that I don't think my vices have ever been... Well I was GOING to say unfair, but I KNOW that I have been unfair to people, but never motivated by their characteristics. I know what was in my own heart when I said or did whatever I did.

I really should reiterate, however that this is purely by my own standards. I am fully aware that anyone looking at me from the outside would find it possible to consider much of my uglier side to be bigoted. I am aware that I would not pass even the most basic check for "correct" language. But I know what I mean, why I say it, and know that if I can find a suitably ugly word for someone who has earned my displeasure, I will happily use it regardless of the person I'm speaking to. You might disagree, say I'd only be so cruel to a person if I hated their IDENTITY. But I know the depths of my hate, and I know that what drives it has - I do not fib here - NEVER been about what they are, but 100% of the time what they have said or done.

Re: Purity test time!

[kaijinscendre]

Probably but I can't think of anything in particular. I grew up in the rural south.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

The term "purity test" is a conservative dogwhistle and I refuse to engage with it.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

Yuup. I went through an "edgy" phase in high school where I thought telling racist jokes was the funniest thing ever. I thank god every day that social media wasn't a thing back then.

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

No, because I knew from a very young age that making fun of someone, or being hateful towards an entire group, for who they are was an awful thing to do. Tarring all of one type of person with the same brush never once occurred to me because it seemed stupid as fuck?

It's one thing not knowing the specifics of a culture someone is from, especially if you haven't met anyone from that culture, it's another thing entirely to use awful words targeted at groups and think that's in any way okay or normal. And I'm someone that hadn't heard one very common racial slur until I was 16, but you bet your fucking ass I never once uttered it because it was clearly meant to be hurtful so why would I say it?

Re: Purity test time!

[(Anonymous)]

It really just seems like you're trying to make yourself feel better for being a bigot, and it's surprising there are so many people acting like being a bigot is some sort of rite of passage that everyone goes through. Although I guess it makes sense that you can't seem to comprehend that other people are different than you because that's how bigots think, but some of us genuinely are not and never have been, whether you believe it or not.

Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

Let that steam out

Question.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I need a sense check on something.

Person A is a very recent immigrant to the country. Culturally, they will not interact with the opposite gender.

Person B is feeling bullied by this as Person A will not speak to them and it's impacting their work. Person B's manger dismisses it. Person B says something racist.

People C-Z are also constantly saying racist things, which prompted Person B's outburst.

Person B is not the only one who should be taken to task, right?!
