The roomate confession is now my favorite lovely roomate story. It managed to top "I found my roomate with a tuba in a bathtub of filthy water (after days of using an elaborate locking system involving a RC car)".

Wasn't it not dirty water, but I believe it was described as toilet paper and feces layered like a lasagna

Or am I thinking of something else

Having just reread it myself recently I can confirm that it was feces lasagna. Also it was a saxophone not a tuba, not that that really matters but hey, the more you know.

Also I'm pretty sure it was newspaper, not toilet paper.

Also also, I'm almost certain we've had a fesh before the most recent one that mentions a goons.txt to keep track of personal details posted. Someone is reusing their plot device.

sorry I've been slacking on feshposting lately, guys :( I'll post more than usual today because they're short anyway

quote:

I frequent one or more of the "ironic" subforums (fyad, byob, iz, bbv, yospos) and I tend to emptyquote posts that gets a lot of emptyquotes or lol's or lmao's just to fit in, and get in on the camaraderie, even if I don't understand the joke, which is often the case.

This is basically everyone AFAICT

also yospos isn't ironic in my experience, they are deadly serious

quote:

Some years ago I was feeling very lonely, and ended up masturbating to a friend's voice on skype a few times (muted, of course) because their voice was turning me on big time. We were in a group voice chat, talking about random poo poo and games and stuff, and whenever the mood was right I'd mute myself for a few moments, tell people I was going to the bathroom, but instead I would listen to this guy talk for some minutes while enjoying a good wank in the dark. He's not exactly Sean Connery, voice-wise, but hey, I did say I was feeling lonely.

We're still friends, but I've stopped doing that after a while.

Plenty of people think about people they know while they masturbate, the only weird part about this is that it's a voice but that's not that weird really

quote:

I identify as a straight woman, but lately I'm realizing just how much I cringe when being referred to as "she" and "her". I don't think I'm trans, but this is definitely a thing that is really making me feel weird and uncomfortable and I feel all hosed up about it.

The standard Internet answer is "get people to use gender-neutral pronouns" but personally I think you should try to figure out more about why you're feeling this way first (see thread title if necessary)

This one's longer than the others and a bit hard to follow

quote:

First off, this isn't a restaurant. I know it sounds like one but it's important you understand I'm not talking about cooking expired food or something. I am involved in my family business and have been, formally and informally, for thirteen years. It's failing like almost every other business in this industry. We're scraping by but the reality is that it isn't of a question of if we close but how long we can scrape by and prepare for it. It's a dying industry.

Our GM/position-that-would-identify-us is one of the best at his specific job but is a reprehensible person. He creates a hostile work environment and I don't know a single person who likes him. I've known for a long time he's a lawsuit waiting to happen but he's essentially impossible to fire currently and the family members in charge wouldn't anyway.

He pulled some little scheme to make my brother and I look bad about a month ago but it blew up way beyond what he intended into a huge ordeal that ended in him having to give a half-assed public apology but still damaged my reputation. My naive family accepted his apology and my brother's so laid back he's just like "whatever let him be an rear end as long as he doesn't do it again."

Here's the issue. I have him by the balls and he doesn't know it. I could crush his reputation and career instantly but it would take my family business down with it. I could finally ruin him after thirteen years of having to let him be an rear end in a top hat.

After that poo poo, I did some digging. I wanted to find something. Anything. I asked some employees I trust about the way he really runs things, went down to check out some equipment, found out how he ran things behind the scenes. Holy poo poo. You piece it all together and look where you normally wouldn't and find major loving health code and OSHA violations. The kind you pray they shut you down for before somebody sues you for everything you have and half of what you don't. He's hid it well. Unfortunately, I know the family members in charge won't fire him and will believe his excuses and lies. He'll just tell them it's actually not illegal or not enforced or how he stopped doing it and I misunderstood. If tell them, they'll go along with it because "he's like family and wouldn't really do anything that could hurt us." They're good people but naive as hell.

So now I finally have my revenge on that rear end in a top hat and also feel morally obligated to take it but it's going to ruin my family's business. I can't talk to anybody offline about it because then it would take it out of my hands. As much as I finally have this rear end in a top hat by the throat, he's still going to take me down with him. The one benefit is I think that as far as reputation goes, my family will come out looking shocked and betrayed (which they are) as opposed to part of it.

to be clear, the reason I'm even still involved in this poo poo show of a business is to keep it together as best I can for my family, because it's a really drat good job, and because my position looks good on a resume.

tl:dr: GM is an objectively bad person but can't be fired and I found out he's doing seriously illegal poo poo. I finally have my revenge and can ruin his career and reputation but unfortunately it's going to take my family business down as well. My family trusts him blindly because he's "a family friend" so they've let him have complete control of things with little oversight. I feel morally obligated to stop him because he's endangering employees and the public.

If you know about this, and you don't whistleblow, you are complicit. Your only prayer of getting out of this intact AFAICT is to immediately spill the beans and make sure as much of it is pinned on him as possible.

If you can try to break the news anonymously, though, do that. Your family might not understand.

e: Actually it might not be a bad idea to be very public and open about your identity here. Act like you just found out, like "The rest of the Anon family and myself are simply shocked and disgusted to find these vile practices have been going on right under our noses. We can't and won't stand for it!"

empty quote fesh

When I first started posting my roommate was desperately trying to get accepted in FYAD and would do this and add like a "lol" or something , and the entire reason why I bought an account was because he asked me to empty quote him to increase his exposure or something. All it does is ascends you to white noise status which isn't exactly hard, unless you gently caress up and empty quote something they end up not finding funny and you can't convincingly explain that you did it ironically, then you get made fun of.

re: yos pos I don't get how people can read yospos with that obnoxious template. It hurts my eyes to look at.

My money for the last goon is on farming or some type of food processing/butchering type of thing like the goon above me said since it's the only thing I can think of that can have regularly both OSHA and health code violations. But anyway yeah you kind of have to tell someone because even though he's hid it for this long, he won't be able to forever and you don't want to be found to be complicit in it when things come falling down.

Most of the "weird twitter" people who left weren't even the funny ones imho. The most notable one I can think of got ruthlessly owned by a hockey mascot and the shrek song guy in an event where he should have come off looking like a good guy doing charity work.

It could also be pharmaceuticals, supplements, prepackaged foods like canned goods or candy, medical supplies, a brewery or winery. I could see any of those factories coming under health code and OSHA.

I'm curious about the "dying industry" part.

Adjective goon if these are primarily male gatherings you may be feeling otherised or excluded since you're the only one these adjectives are being applied to. e: like it's not being called "she" it's being called "she" when everyone else being called "he".

Or perhaps what's bothering you is people referring to you with third person pronouns during conversations you're physically present for, instead of using your name or talking to you directly.
