Read what I already wrote! The topic is sexual fetishes.

Not what I said

I think they were paraphrasing Engels

Have you tried audiobooks?

Hmm, good point

Is that a trick question?

You have some good suggestions, though I was really looking for things in the "how to quit" direction. I guess people who would be sympathetic to my feeling about the site and know how to quit probably wouldn't be around to respond.

Maybe a comm where emojis are disabled. If that’s possible?

My god, if you went through my post history to write your comment, you couldn't have come up with a more on-the-nose idea relative to the shit I've been encountering. The power posters love to just give you a single emoji or maybe a couple and chuckle "lol, owned" to themselves.

So many fucking arguments end up devolving into them doing that and me saying "hey, can you just like, give me a verbal response instead of just going through every single 'shrug' and 'cringe' emote one at a time?" They never do.

That said, I think your suggestion is based in a misunderstanding of how people communicate. Without those, they'd just be repeating memes or one word responses. It's already kind of a normal thing for some people to just say "cringe" or whatever.

I think a better solution is to get rid of upvotes, or at least make them invisible. You know all the problems with performative interaction that you get from Reddit's voting system? Shit doesn't go away just because of downvotes being removed. At best, it makes it more like Twitter, which I don't think is the standard people should aspire to.

People get really fucking fixated on their ingroup-outgroup performances, and most of it seems to be oriented around "ratio" culture and that sort of thing, though it's not as explicit here as on Twitter.

They can celebrate a some asshole no longer plaguing the community

"Yes man" (or woman/person) is a very labor-aristocratic job. It's still based on actually doing something rather than ownership or arranging to extract labor value from others yourself.

Now, that "something" really leans into the "aristocratic" side in this case, it makes econ professors look like normal proles by comparison, but it's still a type of labor.

I think the issue here, on a level more specific than his unfortunate brainrot, is the conflation of furry as fetish and the broader subculture.

It's like how most bronies don't want to fuck the horses but some do and those people are definitely unwell.

Remember for the purpose of legal action it is good to have things in writing, even your own communications.

For example, I do not know if it would be a good idea to ask your employer tomorrow about the possibility of the incident being in the video record, but if we assume that it is, it's probably a good idea to make sure you have like an email or something you can point to to prove that you asked, perhaps written as a "follow up" or whatever.

Why? At least in my limited experience, businesses dump footage pretty quickly. It seems perfectly possible that they would just say they'll get back to you and wait it out for the week or however long until they can dump it on schedule and pretend you never asked. Even if they do stall you and dump it, having a record of having asked soon after the incident can demonstrate malfeasance.

I know this isn't half as substantive as what you were looking for, but I thought I should mention the one part I did know.

A Pheasant Surprise

Or was there at some point, at least

And "smackers" is the most normal thing you should call it. Even better to start with "smackaroos" or "smackaroonies" and just add from there

I still think it's a pertinent detail that the writer seems more like a labor aristocrat than petite bourgeois, but anyway I do see what you're talking about.
