Congratulations shirts and skins on being the best version of you!  Please be patient with folks as sometimes the new software update has compatibility issues with those running an older OS. I still have to mentally take a moment to make sure I use the proper pronouns for those I've known for ages before their transition.Speaking of software compatibility, I notices the Awful App is being weird where it shows bookmarked threads repeatedly on the screen, sometimes with different numbers to denote unread posts. I guess this is something to bring up in QCS? I don't venture far beyond my tried & true forums (something Jeffrey of YOSPOS mentioned in their State of the Forums post).

Things came to a head when Jeffrey had everyone who posted in a specific thread on Christmas given a 7 day probation. At least from what I can tell by going there once a week or so to see what's up. Surely TFF's very own Athanatos can fill in the gaps if any of that is wrong or missing info. e: oh and more importantly, agreed, congrats shirts and skins on taking new year new me to the next level

However, the tech support forum is still open. Jeffry gave a 7-day probe to everyone who posted in the terrible day-after-xmas QCS thread including a couple or three mods, but the probations were dialed back after a couple or three days. There's definitely no intention of getting rid of poster's ability to give feedback, ask questions, and challenge mod decisions, it's just plain from years of experience that QCS has become unmoddable and most users across the site avoid it, and that's no good for anyone.

Maybe it’s because there are actively antagonistic staff/admins and there aren’t clear standards for moderation in multiple forums so sometimes people take themselves way to seriously and other times we get the N****R thread E: also the people who post in qcs on a normal basis are absolutely insane

it wasn't really that thread, that was more of a final straw that broke the camel's back that thread really sucked though I assure you the reasons why QCS is bad have been discussed and dissected by users, mods, and admins alike for years, at extreme length, ad nauseum. I'm just thankful I don't have to deal with that. TG just doesn't generate the levels of animosity (or the crowds) to cause big QCS ruckuses.

To everyone going dry for January, I'm there with you. I was sober for November, for most of December but got real bad the last two weeks, and I really felt it. I haven't had any since NYE and I'm staying that way for January and as far as I can take it from there. Reducing my drinking really helped me lose weight, both from the drop in calories and the increase in motivation. Or the lack of decrease in motivation, same thing. And congrats to shirts and skins!

On the other hand I'm going to miss the form of the friend I've grown to know. I guess it's just part of life. Almost everyone gets a new Avi eventually.

I think it's time for me to switch to ibuprofen and mucinex since I've already taken dayquil today plus my antibiotics. My cata have taken to napping on me in the afternoon lately so that's an upside to working from home while sick this week.

I'm not gonna do a dry January. That's playoff season that's when my best drinking begins!  Seriously though I've been drinking less the past couple of weeks because there's been more junk food around the house and I've been trying to cut calories. I normally scale it way back during Lent though. Not a Catholic but I was raised one and it was surprisingly easy to get back in the habit. Did drink less in 2022 than in 2021 one though. I started marking it down on a calendar whenever I had a little something, more as a calorie counting measure than anything and it's made me more aware. Although I'd put the reduction down to being less stressed in general now that our daughter is on meds and getting therapy.

Knee slapper IIRC, the title was changed a few months before that, when Kyle Larson dropped the n bomb live on TV during some video game race they were doing during the early COVID lockdowns in spring 2020. It was a dumb joke then and lasted too long, and the only got worse when the Bubba Wallace noose thing happened later that summer (Along with everything else in 2020).

seiferguy posted:The solution should be that the government can support a child who is now parentless instead of putting the burden upon someone who has no means to pay it. I mean, yeah, absolutely. I agree with you in a perfect world that is the response. No question. In that world - You likely have less drunk drivers because we have actual mental health support and don’t live in a society that simply lives for angry punishment. But that’s not reality. We can’t even discuss it in good faith without folks bending over backwards to make weird creepy hyperbole like the above. There’s a reason folks ignore genuine questions like mine (making the sentencing take into consideration the victim being a single parent / it being a modifier, etc) and simply scream “fix it!” And when you offer genuine attempts at a solution… it gets called racist and classist.

Fines or annual payments to victims or whatever. That also won't actually deter drunk driving but at least it wouldn't be obviously picking out one particular tragic consequence to punish while ignoring countless others. For that matter, why focus on drunk drivers? If you kill someone during the commission of any crime, should you get a harsher sentence or a decade or so of support payments if they leave behind a parentless child? What if you negligently kill someone who is the only caretaker of an elderly person, or a severely disabled person? Do people who were dependents of someone and find themselves without support not matter unless they're orphans? I think one reason nobody is bothering engage seriously with you is because it's a farcical sentencing modification that is transparently pandering to people who will react with a gut feeling of righteousness about punishing criminals who cause a particularly gutwrenching form of tragedy while having no resemblance to the the kinds of sweeping criminal justice reform we'd actually like to see happen. And also won't likely result in much or any money going to orphaned kids.

Not that you’re wrong to - it’s absolutely an understandable view to have. It feels impossible to get the system anywhere near something that resembles justice but I have to think we can get there. One view seems to think it’s absolutely impossible to change - other being that maybe we can try to brainstorm change and assume it’s possible. My question was a genuine one - do you add it as a modifier? I was leading up to the very point you just made with regards to it being elderly, etc. These are all valid questions, I just need to figure out what change makes sense. I thought the child support one did but the counters also made sense so I’m trying to determine… wtf can be done Amy Pole Her fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Jan 5, 2023 |

Because the attitude toward a thoughtful discussion over whether some manner of criminal justice even logical, effective or humane is always “yeah sure let’s punish them less.  ” Which is silly because if you just keep taking that punitive ratchet to its logical conclusion, it’s just the acid vat for every transgression.

I think we're seeing a correction after 2020 and 2021 caused a huge rush in stock purchases and hiring. The economy is in such a weird spot right now where there are still more jobs than people, but the big tech firms are doing massive layoffs. Seems like the economy is bad for only one sector right now. I couldn't find any info on what type of jobs these layoffs are affecting, or maybe it's just across the board.

I normally run Google Chrome but lately it keeps crashing.  Uh…  I don't have that much RAM so what is going on? Running Activity Monitor & I get this:  I'll see if I can use my work iMac to see what Chrome extensions I can remove, but this is beyond my pay grade in terms of troubleshooting this. Apple/Mac needs, help?
