Horde players can’t accept they’re playing the nazis now and they’re trying to justify the story, Alliance players can’t stop personally attacking people for being forced into being nazis now based on a choice they made like 15 years ago.

Basically Sylvanas (the current leader of the Horde) decided to go to war with the Alliance for no good reason, and burned the Night Elf's tree out of childish spite. The colossal island tree they had their city and most of civilization in, and barely anyone got out alive. So, you know, a colossal war crime. It's followed with an Alliance assault on the ruins of Lordareon (where the Forsaken, the free-willed undead players, have their capital city) and involves Sylvanas turning a toxic gas on her own soldiers to turn them into mindless skeleton warriors... before blowing up Lordareon with more zombifying gas just as a gently caress-you to the Alliance. Which is another war crime. Against her own people this time.

Blizzard's trying to sell the story as "They destroyed one of our cities, so we destroyed one of theirs and it's all ON NOW!!", except nobody in the playerbase is buying it. Everyone's rightfully pointing out that Sylvanas is responsible for both cities being destroyed, and being a war criminal who should've been deposed the moment she tried burning Teldrassil (the Night Elf's tree-island). Even lore-wise, there's a pretty big variety of reasons none of the other Horde races should be wanting to do anything with Sylvanas except murder her and the Forsaken right now. Let alone any reason for for the new expansion's races to even consider signing up with the Horde (because BOTH SIDES NEED ALLIES TO WIN!!!).

Yeah, and if you play as one of the characters on her team, then you approve of her actions, personally condone them, and would love to see them instituted in real life.

I can’t stop giggling about how there is apparently a huge issue of people legitimately arguing this ridiculous position.

Not necessarily.

You aren't yet fired. Your work seems to be playing ball.

As someone with a disproportionate level of experience in substance use disorder interventions and interviews, I can offer a couple suggestions.

1. Get screened. It's usually less than $100 (or copaid). You can be as honest as you like, but these folks are gunning for folks who minimize their experiences. You aren't likely to be judged, and the results are confidential.

2. You can always get a second opinion. Or you can forge whatever paperwork you might want to show your employer. Again, the details of your interaction are not public record.

...

Abstinence-only (including painkillers, but not tobacco/caffeine/porn/religion/etc) is the bog standard. You may get a pass on your tiny hydrocodone dose, but I wouldn't bank on it. You'd be better off faking your piss tests. You aren't in legal trouble; they won't watch you piss.

...

Finally, get a new job, but take your time.

You've been outed as a fun-haver. You'll be blamed to the end of your days, deserving it or not.

Not great!

Yeah, anti-poop pills. Immodium is an opiate that doesn't cross the blood brain barrier in humans, so you can't get high but has the same anti-poop effect as other opiates. Unless you mix in something I don't remember, a thing that lets you get high from the immodium. If you take enough you OD and die.
