I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

Okay, but what if you don’t have cable because it’s a massive rip off full of ads despite costing a fortune, or buy physical media?

I Pirate because of all the hoops that I have to jump through in order to access media. And even then, if you choose to legally stream etc then the creators are still getting fucked over while execs make fucking BANK. So no thanks, fuck that.

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.

Hardly being pedantic - you’re being correct and I appreciate you letting me know!

And I loved it - he told me to eat it with some whipped cream. Had that and a coffee and I was in heaven.

I first came across this in the Discworld. Not sure which book exactly (there’s a few characters that keep bees) but I think it’s one of the Tiffany Aching books maybe?

Was having a discussion with my wife and our mate just earlier - how their film group was mocking her for liking Fantastic Mr Fox and it was immature because cartoons are for kids.

I’m just so confused with regards to people like that. Imagine missing out on some amazing pieces of work just because they’re animated. Empty, sad people.

What the fuck. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic! The mods over there are a bunch of bawbags.

I reported a Fox News post that claimed climate change has no effect on the rise in wildfires. First time ever reporting anything there, and maybe reported a handful of racist comments before that.

Not even an hour later I got the message that I had been permanently banned! Appealed it, they said they’d reviewed the ban and it stands. Fucking laughable!!

A few weeks ago when I still used Reddit via old.Reddit I was constantly getting switched to the new Reddit. It was infuriating.

Played through It Takes Two with my 13 year old daughter and it remains one of our favourite days. So much fun and the story is just brilliant.

Ahh that makes me feel a bit better at least!

To be honest, as time went by and a few of my subreddits I frequented started to get brigaded by transphobes and fascist bawbags (Scotland and unitedkingdom subs are a great example of this) I stopped participating altogether in them.

I found the casualuk sub and that became pretty much the only place I’d comment/post. It felt like a much closer-knit community and I’d much rather have that than a massive community that may not feel as “homely” if that makes sense.

EDIT - I replied to the wrong post, I’ve not had a coffee yet.

My content is pretty shit, but I’ll glady support and comment on you more interesting folks’ stuff!
