its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

we need to have a conversation about how the "everyone is 12" theory of politics now doesn't only apply to conservative men who want to kick the bad guys' asses and then go home and eat a steak their bangmommy made just for them (NO VEGGIES!!!) but also to adult women who are literally afraid of other people having sex and being sexy. it's like there's been this massive regression among women in their 20s where we've gotten rid of feminism and replaced it with a new form of purity politics that requires never saying anything bad about another women unless you find a new and creative way to call her a whore. the misuse of "she caters to the male gaze" as a new form of enlightened slut shaming, labeling any woman who wears a short skirt or has sex with a man as "not a girls' girl" and "a pick me," the intense overreaction to celebrity affairs or even just shit like the summer house mess where a woman is now dating another woman's ex even though there was no overlap and the "relationship" was just kind of a situationship that fizzled but now these little girls are online demanding both people involved in the new relationship lose their jobs and not get any brand deals, the panic over mildly sexual content in literally any capacity like ads or an instagram post in a crop top, the compulsion to link everything back to the epstein files, the monthly meltdown over sex scenes on tv and in movies. everyone is 12 and AFRAID of sabrina carpenter.

I see the pendulum is firmly in the "only idiot losers go into the trades, have fun being crippled at age 40". But not to worry, in another two months it'll be back to "nice student debt idiot, has your job been taken by AI yet?"

And so balance will be kept and everyone will be wrong forever

[captainjonnitkessler]

"The trades are backbreaking, thankless work that will CRIPPLE you for LIFE" not really anymore if you wear your PPE and do team lifts

"Yeah, tradespeople are raking in 6 figures and living the high life while you all drown in student debt!" Actually a lot of us also have student debt and while the trades can pay very well, you're unlikely to take home 6 figures without working an incredible amount of overtime. Union benefits are good though

"That's right, only the TOUGHEST and MANLIEST of men could possibly handle these jobs!" My apprentice is a fat 5'3 woman and she's doing the same job as you, calm down Rambo

"Yeah, literally anyone can do this stuff, that's why in the post capitalist utopian commune we'll all just take turns" it's still difficult and dangerous manual labor that takes intense training and skill to do properly

"Yeah we have to ACTUALLY work for our paycheck, not like those whiny white collar nerds who just sit at a desk all day" well I managed to slack off enough to write all this, didn't I

First, it doesn't matter what work you do. There is some rich person out there who would really like to devalue it so he can be even richer.

Second, the vast majority of jobs, the vast majority of the time, can be accomplished by a reasonably intelligent and able-bodied person with only a very small amount of training. The years of education/experience come in to play when things don't go right, but when that happens you absolutely need the knowledge right then.

Third, even if a job is simple and menial, it still needs done - and ditch diggers deserve to have decent homes too.

Fourth, there are a lot of jobs which are reliant on having the right tools and working as a team. There are a lot of jobs - both white and blue collar - which I know how to do, but there's no way I, personally, will own an Enterprise-grade CMS nor a tractor-trailer, so someone needs to get paid for having those things and the people who make them work.

Fifth, no matter what, people who argue like that aren't arguing in good faith at all. They're just giving you shit because they can.

So many conversations on here just center around avoiding the intentionally irrational outbursts of trolls.

Being prime minister of the uk has a higher regret rate than being trans

So the solution is to ban prime ministers

I've had people asking for the best place to pre-order! for the USA, it's probably Barnes and Noble. if you're located elsewhere, these are the best links.

and for Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa, pre-orders will open later in the summer!

Personally I do think that sometimes non-hockey fans can end up mischaracterizing Shane and Ilya because they don't know enough about hockey/hockey playstyles

The Ilya we see in Heated rivalry would not be throwing the first punch, he's not an enforcer. Ilya is a star center and a Pest. He wouldn't be doing his job correctly if he was punching players every other game, it would end up with not enough ice time to let him be the playmaker he's paid to be.

But being a pest can be playmaking! Find a player to bait, emotionally push them just enough that they try to fight you, and then get the fuck out of there before the ref gives you both penalties. This gets your team the power play. There is probably someone on Ilya's line dedicated to helping him get out of the fights he starts, and finishing them for him!

I also think this is also something that Shane would respect. Ilya is good at it and it's a good strategy for his team. I don't think Shane would see it as some dirty tactic, because Shane probably thinks everyone with a brain can see it for what it is! He probably thinks everyone should be able to see that being an asshole is a tactic for Ilya, that it's something to ignore and not fall for, that it's a strategy and not personal beef.

I think Shane's more disappointed when a Metro falls for it. Shane sees it as Ilya set up a Looney Toons ass obvious trap and one of his teammates ran into it. Why be mad at Bugs Bunny when you can be mad at your defenceman for falling for a fucking Bugs Bunny trap.
