Eh, I’m sure it’s some combination of legal’s opinion on risk, purchasing’s contract with Microsoft, and IT’s desire to stop end users from breaking things. At the end of the day, it doesn’t bother me too much

Adorable! I felt so special when my baby niece was crying for most of Christmas, except for when I held her and she burrowed into me for a nap ❤️

I think that’s a really good way to approach it! Were/are there any that your kids picked up that really surprised you?

Yep. IT gives everyone Windows, and I don’t have an important reason they would grant me an exception. So Linux stays at home

I like Ice Cubes

The world was a more magical place when I believed there was a coffee shop inside

Probably like a regional public university. Not a well-known public with a big sports program, or a fancy private Ivy League, just a smaller university that primarily serves locals.

Do weird stuff with interoperability! It’s why we’re here, and I think it’s cool

Part-time during summers in high school seems about right to me. That was around when I started working, just simple stuff like concessions at the local pool and stocking shelves at a shoe store. It makes sense too if they start driving, then they have a source of income for gas.

Nah, no “to be fair” about it. The “crime” she saw was a trans woman washing her hands. Transphobes need to mind their own damn business

Communication about the problems you’re having with her behavior, and involving a therapist. Perhaps individually and as a couple

Isn’t taking pictures of someone in the bathroom the exact kind of creepy behavior they’re always baselessly accusing trans women of? Always projection with these disgusting fucks.

I would find it less respectful for someone to assume things about me based on what they see on social media. If their question is polite and born out of genuine curiosity, and they don’t react poorly to hearing “I don’t want to talk about that right now”, I would much rather someone ask me a question directly.

I honestly find it a little baffling to think that we should try to avoid talking to people that are different than us and learning about their experiences, in the name of “respect”.

I mean, if someone asks a polite question, the other person can just as politely say “I’d rather not talk about that”, and then everyone goes along with their day

One of the best strains I ever smoked was Golden Goat. Sadly haven’t been able to find it in years

Looks like my 2nd great grandfather was born in Hawkesbury, Ontario in 1881! I think that means I qualify!

Thank you!

So, if I understand this correctly, if I can prove that one of my ancestors was a Canadian citizen, then all their descendants have automatically been made Canadian citizens, including me?

Holy shit, I might be a Canadian citizen!

My genealogy might finally pay off! I have a lot of French Canadians back in my family tree. Now to track down the documents to prove it

Fuck, that’s heavy. I hope you’re doing better these days
