okay seriously guys
you have to help me
how do i "come out" to my coworker that i'm not a freaking republican without having to actually talk to or email him? i want no communication about it.
almost every day he starts randomly laughing loudly and within a few seconds he starts telling me about some republican headline bullshit
i cant take it anymore
what's that pavlov thing?
like every time he tries to talk to you, pick up your phone and be all "hang on" and answer it and then say "I gotta take this" until it triggers a reaction that he stops talking to you

I generally go with the neutral "I don't think it appropriate to discuss politics in the work place." But depends on the person your mileage may vary or be non-existent.

Did it include opto isolated IO? That's what need for making a programmatically controlled connection from one wire to another. You'll also want a voltmeter to determine signal polarity.

have you considered getting a giant framed picture of HRC a la Lelsie Knope?
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
omg coworker who complains about no money and then flies out to $700 VIP concert is now complaining about her dad saying he's poor and then flying his girlfriend to tropical places
Matroyshka dolls forever
have you tried just suplexing her
She's not like, a malicious person, and I'm not like mad or upset or anything? It's just sort of mind boggling. Like, I know she's got no perspective because she does the whole "I'm so poor I bought $1500 in tickets and haven't scalped the second one yet ;-;" which... ok no perspective, but whatever.
I'm just kind of surprised she doesn't see the parallels there! That's the kind of weird bit. I know it's a normal psychological thing, it's just surprising.
We're so poor our combined salaries don't elevate us into the 1%.
I'm so poor we might have to start saving for kids college.

I just realized Bleric probably has a Texan accent and I can't reconcile the idea
The spool clan has a light general american southern accent but not a drawly drawl rural texas joke accent. It's light enough so as to be close to invisible, especially outside texas. I assume when at home they context switch and go full ham.

Although then at work we just had the monthly birthday celebration which was vaguely mardi gras themed (fairly decent king cake instead of the usual gross grocery store cake, so ok) and the security guy was tossing everyone mardi gras beads regardless of their unwilling body language/hostile expressions (which quite a few of us were sporting).
So I catch some beads tossed at me above my head because I have decent catching instincts from ultimate, and security guy's like "hah hah, [credeiki's] obviously done this before, eh? Hah, she's done this before" a couple of times.
Which--in an office of 50 people containing exactly 4 young women. NO. I mean don't do that to anyone, but especially not to one of the women, because it has a distinctly sexual connotation (ie, getting mardi gras beads for flashing people in New Orleans, which who knows if it's a thing but it's a pop culture thing) and it's completely inappropriate.
Hm maybe I should go back and confront the dude and be like 'yo that comment wasn't acceptable'; he's probably still in the lunch room
cred you just got a six figure job.
Let the fucking security guard have this one.
Oh he's not a security guard, he's like...er, I don't know, related to security clearances and handling of classified information.
And of course I did just go and take him aside and tell him that I understood his comment was meant as a joke, but it was inappropriate and I'd appreciate not being joked about in that way in the future, and he was like 'got it, thanks', so ok. I am appeased now. Can't let that shit slide though.

Be rude
He clearly hasn't gotten the message
Like, when he approaches literally put on headphones and whatever you do do not look in his direction

I have never spoken with someone from the American south in real life I think so it's hard for me to know what's caricature and what's real

"I mean this is the nicest way possible, but I'm not a republican and I don't care for republican political talk."
Assuming your coworker has like zero pull with anyone important.
