Me during college: omg I love the bay area lifestyle. I am a californian now! The New York has left me! Me after joining a start-up: Why is it SO FUCKING HARD to actually show up to meetings AT THE TIME LISTED ON THE GODDAMN SCHEDULE
The "peanut free facility " claim still seems a little odd here since the oil was ostensibly made from peanuts *somewhere*

A lot of that labeling is really questionable. Like what the heck does "Made in <country>" mean? Basically everything you buy these days was made in like 20 different countries

well, furry cons can't just cancel. there are contracts made sometimes more than a year in advance. the only way a con can cancel and not go into complete bankruptcy is if the city or county bans events larger than a certain number of people due to public health concerns.
22:35
there's nothing like that in Reno at the moment, so the event goes on.

Hey is anyone in the east bay looking for roommates or have a room available? Preferably around Berkeley or Oakland? My job is transferring me to a new position out of treasure island for the foreseeable future and that would make my current commute Santa Rosa to Treasure Island which is a hellish commute.

Damn is it actually that bad in Oakland? Like to the point where nobody here is looking for rooms or roommates? Of course the furry community is a lot smaller.

there's also a thing you can append to the url, but i don't remember offhand what it is. it works the same way as copying a link at a specific location, just more manually

There are situations that I can empathize with but in the vast majority of cases, if you are the one renting a space out, you can find a way to have it translated.
04:45
And in fact I would think you would want to, unless you do in fact have a preference to rent to speakers of a certain language.
04:47
It could just be they prefer that because it would be easier for them. It's still discriminatory.

i found my current housing situation thru craigslist
04:47
best housing i've had in cali so far
F(
04:48
Finny (grievre)
craigslist in the bay area is less sketchy than craigslist in the rest of the country, or at least that's how it used to be
04:48
I would not room with a rando tbh
04:49
regardless of where it came from
04:50
I've found craigslist great for buying cars, power tools, etc, haven't used it for many other things.
incompatible/unreasonable roommates can come from any sources. You can in fact end up finding out things about friends if you start living with them that you didn't anticipate. Same goes for referring friends for jobs.
04:51
(if my roommates are reading this that is not directed at you :P)
literally had to put a lock on the thermostat because a roommate would not stop cranking the AC. I paid the power bill, not him. His excuse "it's hot!!"
04:53
yes I had directly told him on several occasions he was not to do that
R(

in an ideal world, everywhere would be able to accommodate everyone and it wouldn't be a problem, but imagine renting a non-accessible house and looking for subletters and being unable to accurately describe the dwelling on craigslist because of that policy, while also being entirely unable to do anything about it because the property isn't yours
F(
04:54
Finny (grievre)
like i get it, 75 isn't necessarily the most comfortable settings (since it can push 80 in some parts of the house) but it's a damn sight better than the 90 it is outside and our central air is incredibly inefficient and I can't fix that.
my line has been go out and buy a unit for your room and use it as much as you want as long as you turn it off when you're not home. Sure it might not be as efficient as *good* central air but at least it's not wasting a ton of energy cooling the rest of the house for people who don't mind.
I'm completely ignorant about this but I'm sure disabled people aren't showing up to grandma's house and demanding they fork over cash to make their spare room accessible. They probably ask. My guess is that the prohibition on advertising units as non-accessible is because people will do so just because they don't want to maintain the accessibility already in place.
05:01
Or because they see a disabled tenant as extra hassle
Shortening it kinda destroys the joke, so the tl;dr is read the post
F(
12:11
Finny (grievre)
like I admit I've caught myself announcing why I didn't enjoy or consume something posted but I've come to realize there's really no point in doing so and it doesn't ever seem to elicit a positive response
honestly I'm just messing with bramble because I know he did that to try and provoke me and i figured a calm and diplomatic response would be sufficiently frustrating
comply with what? Saying "I didn't read that, it's too long" isn't asking someone to do anything. In my experience people who respond to something with "tl;dr" aren't actually interested in the content at all, it's just something you say to heckle people
12:17
It's literally just an older version of "cool story bro"
R(
12:18
Ryan (Wuug)
No, it isn't
12:18
Tl;dr identifies a specific problem
12:18
Cool story bro means 'i don't care, i am not interested'
12:19
Tl;dr means 'your thing is too long', and implies 'i might read it if you shorten it'
If the meaning has shifted to that, that seems confusing, because it definitely did not mean that back in the day
R(
12:19
Ryan (Wuug)
It's exactly the same meaning it's always had
F(
12:20
Finny (grievre)
I can tell you with 100% certainty that when people were using it on the somethingawful forums in the early-mid 2000s, where it originated before spreading the rest of the internet much later, that is not what they meant
You're nitpicking. Of course you only use it to respond to long posts.
The meaning is not "You need to condense that", it's "This content is not worth my time"
O
12:21
Opda
I definitely use it for the latter
12:21
And in my experience, that's what it has meant
R(

Ryan (Wuug)
i guess it depends on whether you care to actually convey the message or not
12:22
if you try to write a tweet and twitter says 'sorry, tweets can only be a maximum of 140 characters', do you just roll over and die, or do you try to shorten your tweet
You said earlier that the joke was ruined if it was shortened, you seem to be contradicting yourself.
R(
12:23
Ryan (Wuug)
Which is why the tl;dr for it was 'there is no tl;dr if you want to laugh at it take the time to read it'
12:24
In other words, 'i don't care if you don't care'

F(

Finny (grievre)
I'm sorry you were hurt but in my experience people who reply like that *do* have a bad intent.
I think it moreso has to do with assuming positive intent during first interactions cuz often when people meet strangers they immediately assume agression and negative intents
People misreading me and assuming my words in the worst possible light has been a very big issue with me in the last week
