Just here to recommend BetterBird. It’s a Thunderbird soft fork that’s just frankly better. Faster. Some quality of life improvements. Etc.

It went from 75* to 40* and flurries. I was unprepared.

She does seem extremely picky.

They’re also smaller

the biggest turn off to potential good members to your organization is *negativity

“These kinds of people are going to hell”

Are you saying that we old people can’t be ridiculous hornballs? Once my hip gets fixed I’ll show you how wrong you are

We shot ourselves? Surely that was by accident.

In this economy?

Just say you worked for some company that went bankrupt.

Maybe I’m just more jaded than I should be.

I call into question your claim that most aren’t like that. But even if most aren’t, it’s what the community is known for.

If you don’t like what the community is known for, you have options. You can try and fix the reputation, you can deal with being stereotyped, or you could just be a person who doesn’t masturbate, and not part of a specific community.

I don’t think there’s a fourth option where you get to be part of the community, which is known for being horrible, but everyone just magically knows you’re not one of those ones.

Personally, I’ve chosen option 3 for most of my proclivities. I don’t drink, but I’m not part of AA because of their religious craziness. I don’t eat meat, but I’m not out here supporting PETA.

Pattern matching does that. And it’s unfortunate. But so many people in that community do have those motives. And as a member of that community, it’d be great if you could help shout them down (and if you already do, thanks!)

Yes. If your point is that you want to have an opinion and not be teased or disagreed with, that is not a thing you can have. At least, I can’t imagine how that’d work.
