it's funny that furries shorten "anthropomorphic" to "anthro" when just that prefix means human.

<p>it did take a few years and some bogus legal threats from an abusive past employer and some other things, but like, you are *already* into extreme self-harm. what do you have to lose? the illusory stability? the friends you sacrifice everything for while they either tell you to stop in frustration, or turn a blind eye and use your position to their ends?</p>

<p>my experience in IT has *markedly* improved when i stopped putting up with bullshit and knowingly made a few enemies thru choice. i was already suicidal, so the additional risk didn&#39;t really register, and the outcome speaks for itself: i am no longer suicidal and i&#39;m pretty okay with my job as it currently goes</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> it&#39;s especially annoying because some people *do* bear significant risk. i&#39;m disabled, i&#39;m a refugee, and i went with a startup because that&#39;s the offer i had which let me continue to exist in relative peace, by which i mean i now have months of certainty instead of weeks</p><p>sam altman does not bear even 1% of that risk</p>

<p>@gamingonlinux@mastodon. Think Valve needs to hold some of these companies to account over the murky Linux support. They’re selling the games and DLC to Linux people quite happily without a clear message of support or continuity.</p>

<p>plot twist: the thing you love is the destruction of your mental health, and you went into IT *because* you were already into self-harm. IT simply provided a convenient, deniable avenue in which to express said need for self-harm<br /><a href="https://mastodon.social/@ErisCaffee@masto.ai/111422968692520948" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@ErisCaffee@ma</span><span class="invisible">sto.ai/111422968692520948</span></a></p>
