I happen to weigh 310 lbs, and can fit into lots of damn things, for one.

For two, his weight has 0 bearing on any of it, it's not important, relevant, and should not be used to mock him, or make any sort of damn character judgement.

It's not funny, it's rude as hell, no matter who the person is.

I am so angry right now. I am so tired of non-fats using fatness as a damn judgement.

Pretty much. Now I feel like shit, because yes, I "carry my fat well" but I am still fat, so if you judge him and mock him, you're also saying "I don't value anyone who is fat, and think it's funny to remark on how uncomfortable their lives possibly are"

The thing is? I shouldn't have to splay myself open like that to teach people how to be empathetic humans (or at the very least, learn how not to weaponize physical characteristics)

you shouldn't need a fat friend to keep you in line, as it were.

@GodEmperorDune Pretty much. You'd feel awful if someone did that to queer people/PoC/disabled people etc even if none existed, fatness is the same.

Anyway. I'm gonna go poke Active Directory with more sticks.

@TimStone I'm getting better at it!

(I have become almost solely responsible for a giant corporation's AD stuff, like adding new users and sorting out OUs and groups and things. I can't build you this stuff, yet but I can handle interacting with an instance already set up. I've even learned how to play nicely when it connects to Office365, most of the time.)

@Stormblessed laugh I feel like...that's likely accurate for dealing with AD.

@GodEmperorDune laughs So much of my day is "oh god don't break it"

like...there are other humans who touch it, but I do a lot of the daily bits

Like the user maintenance stuff and whatever. It's been a lot of learning on my feet, and a lot of praying. (Seriously. There's a Baha'i prayer that goes "Is there any Remover of Difficulties save God? Say: Praised be God! He is God! All are His servants and all abide by His bidding." that I say...almost every time I spin up a new thing.)

I'm like probably infant baby-mode when it comes to what I can do with it, but every day I figure out something else.

@Stormblessed I do, yes. It's my native language.

@Stormblessed Generally, nope, you pray in whatever language you know.

It's helpful!

Not all the prayers are that short, but I've got that one memorized. It helps keep me chill.

@TimStone It helps when I learned to use it I didn't understand what it was, so I wasn't scared of it :P Now I am like "DO THEY KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE" when I think about how I just got tossed into this :P

I am in good company then.
