Enough calories to feed you for the rest of your life.

I work in an area where it's impossible to record their behavior, and since there were so many people doing it snitching wasn't an option. They were smart enough to only "joke" when management was within earshot and resume actual harassment when they left.

I still work with that same group, funny enough they went back to being buddy-buddy once I got vaccinated and was able to drop the mask.

I have forgiven them in the sense that I don't think about it when I interact with them, but now I know how selfish they are and how they'd happily push me into a wood chipper if it meant they could avoid having to wear a small piece of fabric on their face.

I'm more curious about how it affects the sale of other drinks and foods.

Do fast food sales drop because of the increased cost of their primary drink options? Do people turn to water as an alternative or do they fill the hole with another option like alcohol, tea, or coffee?

Honestly, therapy. I basically had the same reaction when my coworkers, who i thought were pretty alright, would cough in my general direction and say survival of the fittest because I was wearing a mask during peak covid. I had a lung condition that put me at high risk, and I told them that... And that lead them to be even more hostile to me, openly saying they hoped I'd get covid and die off quickly.

I struggled with the fact that people can turn on you so fast, and that people couldn't do the minimum effort to prevent someone they know from dying. We used to be cool, pretty often we went out to eat and hung out outside of work hours, then in the span of a couple months they were practically verbally assaulting me every day. I talked to a therapist and it really helped. I barely remember what they told me since it was years ago now, but it got me through it and I rarely think about it now.

making everything feel snappier.

We use very different apps that could easily be websites.

There is one other thing you buy a company for, and it's to remove them from the market. I'm fully convinced that if he had any goal, it was to completely wreck Twitter as fast as possible without drawing everyone to that conclusion.

It's literally the only thing he has done with the company, drive it further and further into a right wing cesspit that high value advertisers want nothing to do with.

I'm not convinced that he had any goals, he made a meme joke offer during a manic episode and tried to back out of it but was caught by his own need for public ridicule.

You can be happy for the person making the choice that they are making, but also feel bad/sad about the effect it has on you.

I don't want Tom to commit his entire life to YouTube. I respect him as a person and want him to do what's best for him, but I also really enjoyed his content and will miss his regular high quality uploads. One of the first things I'd do when I got home from that first work/school day of the week would be to watch the latest Tom Scott video. I've massively dialed back my YouTube watching in recent years, but I still always watch his content.

One silver lining is we might get more technical difficulties.

Toasting to the new year?

I didn't say I think it's a good thing, just that the truck guy probably think it is.

It's supposed to be a good thing. I don't get the context of the stickers either unless it's just supposed to be a useless explanation of the situation.

Imma leave this here since they put it quite nicely. https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/6818226

Also, just read their username and you'll see it's clearly exactly what we all think it is.
