Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.
I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.
Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.
“I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”
“Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”
Mocking language
Jobs are important too
“Be a team player”
“We’re your family too”
Talking as if this is a thing you must do
“We all make sacrifices”
Undermining your authority
“You caused all of this, really”
Accusing you of being “unprofessional”
“Look at the money you cost us”
“Just laugh it off and come back to work”
This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.
Ok so I was curious about that fucking deathtrap and I noticed a couple… oddities.

Alright so this thing is pretty stupid; I’m not at all familiar with submersible vessels, But it activated a sleeper gene in my skull from my time being obsessed with a certain video game.
So I decided to check the promotional page for the contraption.

(I’m going to put aside the second image, where they state the previous shit they hammered out had a 500 meter depth limit tops (i.e. that they, at best, made something that could get to 500 meters then decided that meant they could handle making something that could handle 8 times that). Thinking about the fact they brag about this so brazenly hurts my head. Back to the topic at hand.)
Ok so google shows “cyclops class” is not. a thing that exists. But it sure is funny they keep saying that word. Again maybe it’s just my stupid video game brain but that doesn’t seem to be used in this context anywhere else. Then I saw the renders.

Ok the newer one on the left really loves that “single eye” thing and looks silly enough, but the older one is…. ok. I give up. That’s Subnautica. That’s Subnautica For Real.

They built their goddamn suicide death trap based on a submarine in a videoed game.

No Fucking way. There’s no fucking way. There’s no fucking chance that–
"birds aren't dinosaurs" ❌ wrong, misinformed, way too common
"all vertebrates evolved from fish, and are therefore technically fish" ✅ mischievous, technically true if you look at it from the right angle, demonstrates how cladistics work
"whales are fish but not for the reason you might think" 😈 this is funny to me specifically
happened again where i was reading about cicadas and thought “damn i should get a cicada tattoo” and then glanced down at the part of my arm where i would put a cicada tattoo, which is where my cicada tattoo is
don’t know who needs to hear this but sometimes trans women on the internet will be kinky. and sometimes you just need to deal with that and ignore the reaction society instilled in you to condemn anything other than vanilla sex as deviant and wrong
If I may add onto this, as a trans woman:
Conversely, if you are a trans woman reading this and you’re into some weird things, you don’t need to feel guilty about it, even though it might be hard not to. If you’re not hurting anyone, and everything is safe and consensual, you’re allowed to be the weirdest person you can imagine, and it doesn’t make you less worthy of rights or respect, or any less of a woman.
making fun of ppl with disorganized speech or trouble articulating themself or lots of typos or anything else isn’t funny actually
calling someone stupid for using a wrong word in place of a similar word, saying someones typos are “homestuck speech,” complaining about someone with an aac device “taking too long” to say something, making fun of someone stuttering or mumbling, none of it is funny at all
