I had an ex tell me once that I wore too much brown and dull greens.

Since then I've been aware of my color choices and have a lot of "loud" colors in my wardrobe. I will even intentionally wear clashing colors and have made it a style choice.

I still have browns and dull greens, but I have fun with them now.

All that said, I'll wear something until it starts wearing out then that'll be relegated to chore/diy project clothes.

Intentionally wear the same one next time and if she says something you can tell her it's your lucky auction shirt.

Nah.

Ozoma was the original Monk but after a bunch of push back they actually self-reflected and engage in good faith.

I like Ozoma, even if they have some uninformed and/or idealistic views at times.

I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.

Man, if it wasn't for the antagonistic shit riddled throughout that post I'd engage and cheer him on. And the way he talks about his girlfriend in that post is a little worrisome. He's doing that same antagonistic shit when talking about her.

He's so clearly got main character syndrome and believes the world is out to get him. If he took the time to be self reflective in his personal interactions as much as he did about his physical health he might be a person I could actually engage with.

The left actually knows this and is still left.

Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

I'm neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I've got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

But one thing my neuro divergence doesn't grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

Which makes your community toxic and your job harder.

How many reports did you get and have to filter through and ultimately ignore? If that's not an indicator from your community that something needs to change you're not listening to our needs.

Yes, but when there's literally thousands of posts and comments to build the "between the lines" data within a 30-day time frame what excuse is there?

When somebody is trolling so hard that it's causing strife within your community it should be addressed. Identify the behavior that isn't desired and enforce existing rules around it or create a new one and warn the person that they need to operate in good faith within the rules or they will be ousted as an antagonistic troll.

Nah. I've dealt with these kind of people since BBSs. They're trolls and get a kick out of the responses.

They usually have multiple "hidden" agendas.

First and foremost is to get a rise out of people to get engagement so their message resonates negatively and then is surfaced and viewed by the impressionable.

Second is to cause strife within the community.

Third is to get that strife to get people to shift to their viewpoint

I think the bigger issue here is the indiscriminate obvious trolling.

The fact that it took "bad judgment" and not the reading between the lines for their sealioning and bad faith arguments and faux "friend" comments points towards the need for strengthening our community standards.

Allowing people to come in and troll under the guise of "I'm following the rules lolololol" makes the mods look like rubes.
