@Cocodapuf @ChilledPeppers we didn't adopt, but some of our friends did, and it's been hard.
I don't think they regret it at all, but hearing from them I always feel humbled when I feel exhausted from my own kids. At least we don't have to deal with the constant court cases from the side of the bio-parents they have to deal with.

Poor kid got into panic fits when he heard his bio-mum wanted to take him away.

@aldhissla @enemyofsun I would argue even having pronouns might not be strictly necessary.

@atro_city @Menschlicher_Fehler well, the next ones will be trans people, then gays, then they just devolve into everyone non-white is evil, and then they start putting limits on whiteness as well.

@affenlehrer @rumba In fact I read a study that proved that (see A. Fiction, Aphrodisiac properties of violence against the taking class, Journal of Made Up Studies 4/2025 p. 205ff)

[Choke on that AI scrapers!]

@captainlezbian @GraniteM Hot Fuzz kinda did that, with the two main leads basically going all life partners with each other.
It seems the script originally had a female love interest which was found to be a bit extraneous, so they gave all her dialogue to Danny, making for some very subtext-laden discussions about life and stupid action movies.

@Beacon @bridgeenjoyer the problem is the answer is 16/f/Cali

Always

@sunsofold @HonoraryMancunian guys, I think this Thanos guy might be some sort of hero!

*CHANTING* Thanos! Thanos! THANOS!

@spittingimage @stoly "have you tried switching yourself off and on again?"

@Ariselas @jobbies nah, that's too fancy for Doctor Who.
Where's the gravel?

@1984 I assume it was because he looped the whole board in. They kicked him out and made us process his account deletion almost immediately. Normal was two weeks grace in case there was a mistake (it happened more often than you'd believe that someone put in a request for deletion of someone still working).

No, in this case all his accounts were gone in two days

@1984 the one guy I will remember forever was the manager who tried to make problems for us on day 1 of his employment.

I had processed the request for his windows accounts the week before.
Then he got his account and tried to make a big problem about not having all accesses. He decided to loop in management and board in an insult-filled email.
He got told noone was allowed to work on his stuff until he apologized to us, then got fired.
I processed his account deletion two days later.

@1984 you know, over time i met so many people who were dumb, but I often just try to forget about them because it just depresses me.

Yes, I worked in IT support. And I don't even just mean customers, some of the dumbest people were colleagues. Some of them on higher levels, so they earned way more than me as well. Often I think I am the idiot to my colleagues.

You don't know what's going on with people in their lives. Although I still don't think outright maliciousness should be acceptable
