  • Well, just glancing at it, it isn’t discord. It doesn’t connect to discord servers at all.

    What it does is replicate discord, in a way that allows users to still make use of things that discord users are already into. Bots in particular.

    So discord won’t have access to anything that goes on at all, unless you’re using something that also connects to discord.

    Pop-ups and fake notifications would have more to do with the client you’re using than the back-end would, so if you use a client that does those things, I wouldn’t bet on that changing.

    The caveat: I’m no dev of any kind, so I can’t say anything about the actual code, I’m basing this on their own description. I linked the page to my cousin that sometimes will give a quick scan for hinky shit for me, but there’s no telling if or when he’ll do so nd get back to me.


  • At what point today did you decide to be a dick for no good reason?

    Was there something going on in your day that made you so upset you couldn’t just scroll past and only think the snide comment instead of typing it out?

    I’m not just telling you that you were a dick, I’m genuinely asking what went wrong. Maybe if you vent a little, you’ll regain the self control and feel better.


  • Eh, you can, but they’ll eventually catch on if you do anything much other than passively scroll.

    You can try getting in via a VPN, but you end up with the ip addresses of those getting obvious after a while, which sometimes means they very banned as a block.

    Since you said you want to go back for contact with a group of friends, if you do get back, don’t do anything other than contact them to arrange other means of interaction.



  • This kinda depends on the job though. An office job, there’s always going to be a social side because unless you’re just a flunky, collaboration is a necessary skill for a skilled job in most office settings.

    The extent of needed skill at the kind of social interaction you can estimate via interview varies, and a lot of people get stuck and screwed over when they don’t actually need that skill set for the job, but we can’t just pretend that even a minority of office work allows for a person to be an island. You at least have to be able to interact with project managers that keep otherwise unconnected workers synced up.

    It helps if you can say that you suck at interviews, but can execute on the job, and can both say it in a useful way, then back up that claim. Not every hiring person will deal with that, which is bullshit imo, but even that is not outside of the range of bare minimum social skills.

    When it comes right down to it, we as workers in a capitalist system have to make hard choices unless we want to start a revolution. You either work on the people skills, reject the kind of work that takes interviews and interaction, or you ask for accommodations and hope that works out.

    The system as-is sucks for anyone not built for capitalist dreck like cookie cutter interviews, and it needs change.


  • Man, that’s a shame. But there’s a limit to how much you can force a chicken into the coop. You do it often enough, and they stop letting you pick them up without a struggle, which kinda defeats the whole thing imo.

    We have a volunteer hen (a feral girl that shares the yard with us) that disappears for days at a time, and I worry about her getting killed by something, but it’s one of those things that keeping her safe would not only be difficult, but would make her scared of us instead of mostly friendly.

    Luckily, the full on pet hen loves the coop, and stays in it by preference when she’s outside at night (she usually sleeps inside, but sometimes decides she’s not in the mood lol), so she can be as safe as any chicken in a coop gets.




  • Man, chickens are absurdly good company. You get one that’s well socialized, and they’re just happy to be near you, making cute little noises and looking all sweet. They’re still apex predators in a prey animal size, so you know, watch your fingers and toes or they’ll get tested for edibility, frequently.

    That’s the down side of chickens. Brains the size of peas and about half as smart as a pea lol.
