aw yeah time to assault everyone's eyeballs with my christmas avatar
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
I’m one of those molochists that don’t go to ceremony but when the romans are outside the walls you better believe I am sacrificing at least three kids.
Yesterday at work (also, having posted this, I don't need to do my annual war on christmas here at length, I assume, cause I have condensed my spiel down into a very digestible bite that I cannot imagine anyone finds objectionable):
M (senior-ish guy): Hey, we should have a secret santa for the team!
younger female employee: Oh yeah that would be great!
M: you should plan it, then
credeiki: we just got back from the diversity training thing in which it was specifically called out how we shouldn't give the one woman on the team all the social planning events!
M: you should do it then
credeiki: lol no, I don't like secret santas and I don't like christmas
everyone: *gasp* what??????
credeiki: 1. I don't celebrate christmas so whatever 2. separately from that, I simply don't like it
M: ok can I ask you how this came about though?
credeiki: while many people can celebrate christmas without imparting any religious significance to it as it has among other things a wide cultural footprint and ubiquity in our society, as a Jew I was explicitly raised to understand that it was a religious holiday not intended for my consumption, and as such have always found it quite alienating. I don't mean to detract from anyone's secular experiences of it, but that is how I was raised so it is to some degree how I still feel. Also I don't like the enforced cheer or music or decorations.
M: hah thank you for answering my probing/personal question. [talks about how it was to celebrate christmas as an expat in egypt; v interesting]
@P10 did you say in last chat you needed a new graphics card?
I just replaced my 970 and now it's just sitting around in my house if you want it mailed to you
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Did he do Coptic Christmas or, as I’m assuming some regular ass American Christian, attempt to replicate the American one with family and friends?
cred aside from the chistmas part i just want to say i feel you so hard on the "didn't we just have diversity training about this?" part
workplaces just be like
to be fair the guy had not been able to attend, but I was just coming back from it and was like, ok, I just made a mental commitment to be the advocate for the two young women on the team and watch out for this shit because I am absolutely the best positioned to 1. notice sexism and 2. speak up about it, so I had to say something
hm yes he didn't expect such a candid and lengthy answer, possibly, but I am really personally disclosive at all times so w/e. "bring your authentic self to work"
Any person who says they could never be turned on by a figurine or drawing has revealed a startling and damning lack of imagination
Look, all I'm going to say is that I just finished watching She-Ra and whoever designed this Catra costume was on fucking point
Prom Catra finally dethroned D.Va as my avatar

being my authentic self has taken new corporate overlords aback a bit these last couple weeks
as i refuse to blow smoke up their asses about how everything in the business is totally functional and working as intended hah

The latter, which is definitely less interesting than anything related to Coptic christianity which I know nothing about!

That intro is like they distilled the early 90s and bottled it, as one might with liquid smoke.
Concentrated 1990s.
but they're listening to every word I say
Man is not hot, only god is hot
No mere mortal can ever be hot
they even have a younger kenny g clone
Paris Hiltonism.
but they're listening to every word I say
Always
Telling
Horses
Everyone
Is
Supporting
Them
two plus two is four
minus one that's three
holy trinity
has anyone said that though
this straw man
so
so stuffed with straw
*sweats*
Titty figurines are literally our oldest art form

I liked the theory somebody put forth - not that I especially believe it, but I like the theory - that this is a self portrait
since the proportions look a lot like what somebody looks like when they look down
