That always feels nice. I've left jobs where I felt like I performed horribly, compared to my potential, and my managers looked like they were about to cry. Not that I like them to feel bad...but it's nice to realize I'm wanted.

I'm glad that you're wanted!

@M.A.R. ehhhh my memory is always being at least kind of awful

TheTinyMan

Jan 9, 2020 20:30

Oh yeah? What's going on at the current job? :D

TheTinyMan

Jan 9, 2020 20:29

That's super exciting, I'm happy for you! Sounds like it's going better than the last one did? :D

TheTinyMan

Jan 9, 2020 20:27

Poked my head in here and did I see that @Rainbacon has found a new gig finally? (And I hope my memory isn't being awful and forgetting that that had happened the last time we talked ^.^, )

Ahh, so it's not like you'll have profile settings preserved on the work network or anything. Heck, haha.

TheTinyMan

Dec 10, 2019 19:43

Doing stuff on a home laptop or a work one?

TheTinyMan

Dec 10, 2019 19:28

I've been spectacular! Work is going well, things with my new partner are going amazingly, and people keep telling me I'm good at my job! :P

TheTinyMan

Dec 10, 2019 19:22

I love the autism causes vaccines meme!

TheTinyMan

Dec 10, 2019 19:22

Hey guys, how's everyone been? :D

TheTinyMan

Nov 19, 2019 17:11

Me: "Argh, why can I never focus at work??"
Also me: *posts a poem about a video game on Reddit at work*

@Ælis Wait, can I just clone my existing relationships? :o :o

TheTinyMan

Oct 24, 2019 18:27

@Tinkeringbell I think you just hate tiny people! :o

TheTinyMan

Oct 24, 2019 18:26

@Tinkeringbell Ahh, so things are different than when I wanted to create one a year or so ago? ;)

TheTinyMan

Oct 24, 2019 18:23

Oh neat are we down for a Discord server now? :D

TheTinyMan

Oct 24, 2019 18:21

You abandoned us all! :'(

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:49

But that one is a literal flag!

Also it IS super cute, and I am happy that I get an opportunity to look at it!

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:39

It's subtle because I'm bad at remembering flags. ;) But maybe not because I actually remembered this one?

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:38

I also approve of the subtle LGBTness there :)

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:37

oh, wait, it's the afternoon now even here.

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:37

Also morning room! :D

TheTinyMan

Oct 21, 2019 17:36

I approve, cat pictures are awesome but catgirl pictures are even better!

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 18:24

@Belle Ehhh. I identify as agender and I'm not completely straight but I almost consider myself cishet, too. I mean, I don't feel like LGBT fits much better than cis at least?

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 18:05

@Belle Yeah, "het" basically means "straight"

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 18:02

Thank you for the answer Tink :-P

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 18:02

grunts in dissatisfaction

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 17:58

I've observed people suggest as much maybe once or twice online and it confuses me

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 17:58

Do people see "cis" or "cishet" as pejorative?

TheTinyMan

Oct 15, 2019 17:24

Man, I came in at the right time!

I've never heard that one before either!

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:28

You remind me of a friend named @Ælis!

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:20

And they can turn into trees! :D

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:19

Druids' magic tends to be things like making plants grow, or making vines grab at ankles, or turning people into animals, or making animals way stronger

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:16

I'm also built like a paladin should be in real life :-p

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:15

@Rainbacon Most druids can become tiny if they want to! :D

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 19:15

@scohe001 Ehh I usually fall into a paladin or cleric type of role

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 18:52

I'm...casting a spell to give myself a comfier bum?

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 18:48

@Ælis Oh, sorry. Like when I dress up like a wizard and do role-playing stuff outside with people? :D

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 18:39

@Ælis We should all get one! I'm trying to justify putting one in a LARP costume. ;-)

TheTinyMan

Oct 9, 2019 18:31

Is it weird that I saw this: insider.com/… and thought of @Tinkeringbell and her snuggies?

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 21:09

Cat costume time!

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 21:07

Everyone chase Ælis around! :-D

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 20:51

@bruglesco I think that one or two episodes should be required viewing for emotional literacy!

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 20:47

Yeah, that's fair. And I'm not as experienced with them as I'd like to be, and of course, like I said, I'm not sure that any level of experience would make me the right person to raise some of the questions that I am.

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:46

I mean, kind of, but I don't think that Pearl being feminine and needing to be caught (because she's expressing an almost dependent form of femininity at that time) detracts from Garnet's?

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:43

They talk about Garnet not being 'allowed' to be feminine but I feel like she's one of the most feminine characters in the show, when she wants to be?

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:42

Hm, maybe. I don't think I'd ever read anyone with that accent as black without more coding. Now that I've said that 'out loud' that's probably a kind of subconscious racial profiling that I need to work on myself... heck.

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:41

I'm also confused at what the essay is saying about Garnet's femininity during the Sardonyx fusion dance - they even mention that her dance is feminine up until the point that Pearl literally needs to be caught? Watching that animation over and over I don't read that motion as masculine beyond acknowledging that she's catching a character who is both feminine and not independent?

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:39

I didn't read any of the fusions besides Garnet as black, but looking back I can see how Sugilite probably is coded that way?

TheTinyMan

Oct 4, 2019 19:37

Ruby does have the hair, but it's not...I dunno. It doesn't read as that kind of encoding to me, but I think that's because even thinking consciously about it I can't think of more superficial traits that suggest that, and without some of those, I don't associate anger or roughness with race like that either.

But that might just be because I'm white and aren't necessarily on the lookout for that kind of thing all the time.
