i went to them and said "hey i tried to check that bot for discord for roleplay and now it says my computer is in danger can you take it away pls"

1:05 AM

"oh sure"

okay this might be rude to say but

1:05 AM

why log in to discord on a work PC?

Why not

when I was in the office I didn't even use the work wifi on my phone

nooo it was remotely

Iota ˗ˏˋM&M´ˎ˗

Why not

employers routinely spy on you

i "went" to them on slack lol

1:06 AM

it was pandemic

KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk

nooo it was remotely

but still why on your work machine

We have everything blocked on our class PC’s, but I spam gmail people I want to annoy for fun instead.

blanka

but still why on your work machine

did you not notice yet how many typos i do on my phone??

1:06 AM

i bought ipad as a replacement for that

1:06 AM

and didn't use it since i bought it

ah I see

The old white Christian principle seeing me Google “Genshin Impact farming route max XP” for the 50th time that day:

magic keyboard is quite nice actually

I forget people don't have >6 keyboards on their desk

since they also added cursor

KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk

magic keyboard is quite nice actually

I actually do rather like apple keyboards they're actually pretty nice

yeah i have 4 monitors at work but never used more than 1

1:07 AM

so i have only 1 at home

But anyways back to the point, I still feel kind of conflicted

he's scrolling through everyone's keylogger output and is more disappointed by the genshin impact googles than anything else

ahh sorry for hijacking the convo lota lol (edited)

I know using it would cause people to be confused, and that kind of excites me, but I also just want to do it/

why is the bot there anyway?

my (chaotic) vote is to You Can Do It

I see you have chosen…..Lota.

why is everyone stealing my white hair btw

this exactly, if they weren't plural-friendly why have an explicitly plural bot on their server

literally 60% of people on the server have whit ehair

For plural people to use, I guess. I searched “pluralkit” into their search tab and that’s the explanation I got

and you are plural

so it's fine to use it, no?

so

KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk

if it makes you feel better kitkat I am a plain brunette

1:10 AM

and blanka is spotted grey

not on your pfp

my pfp is a tricolor kitty cat with no "hair", just fur

KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk

"oh sure"

so did you win or lose? i don't understand

I know using it would cause people to be confused, and that kind of excites me, but I also just want to do it/

@Iota ˗ˏˋM&M´ˎ˗ - jump if i were you i'd say do it!

sh

so did you win or lose? i don't understand

there were no winners nor losers

just do it!

yeah my vote is still on You Can Do It

my vote is, how much do you have to lose?

1:11 AM

(like literally that's a question)

the worst that could happen is some folks get confused and you feel a little silly for a short time, at least to me

i mean there might be worse things that happened if there are people there from school, your friends or family that you don't want to know

My self-respect

1:12 AM

Remember, we’re all Genshin people

how do you present yourself on that server

We all have Genshin pfp’s and often Genshin character names

i mean there might be worse things that happened if there are people there from school, your friends or family that you don't wa...

@KiTkAT( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧/jk - jump true, but i think that would've been brought up already if it were the case

As a calm, helpful student whose there to study and help others with their studies.

Reply to: how do you present yourself on that server

general, plurality advice: don't come out to IRL people

aren't you bored of this yet, time to stir the server

sh

general, plurality advice: don't come out to IRL people

yssssss

I’m only out to one irl person, and that was an accident. Luckily, they’re chill.

it's like explaining your politics to someone who doesn't know anything

general, plurality advice: don't come out to IRL people

@sh - jump whoops, maybe i should stay quiet about my own state from now on

just don't do it

(We’re friends on discord but also know each other in person)

weeelllll, you won't die, but there is about a 20% chance your future self will think about it at 3am with regret

at least my therapist is helpful and really interested in my development, and the one coworker i told is very chill and considerate about it too

Granted, I’m glad the person who does know does know. Everyone else I’d prefer to hide it from

1:15 AM

He doesn’t make it my whole personality, it rarely ever comes up.

1:15 AM

And I appreciate that from him.

i've thought about coming out to my roommate since i've already talked with her on my thoughts of plurality a few months ago

1:16 AM

but i guess it's just easier to wait to cross that bridge when i need to

sh

general, plurality advice: don't come out to IRL people

I came out to my partner of 5 years and it went well

blanka

I came out to my partner of 5 years and it went well

i'm glad

i'd be lying if we didn't think about getting a little plural pin for our hat at work, nobody's really asked about our genderfluid pin so we think we'd be safe from weird looks & comments

well it's about that balance between wanting some of that sweet sweet validation i'll admit, and wanting to keep things to yourself (or actually, between yourselves now)

1:19 AM

and whether you'd actually feel better by having others look at you as plural... if they even know what that means

1:19 AM

it's tricky

agreed with what shield says (edited)

1:21 AM

it's up to you but there were conversations like this with other people on this server and people were coming out anyway being all excited, and sometimes it was ending quite badly lol

1:22 AM

you never know how someone will react, + what shield said about you potentially basically changing your mind in the future (edited)

very valid points on all of those, it was a little interesting explaining plurality to our coworker but he got the gist pretty okay

it's a bit like coming out as trans... except that you'll never need them to know you're different, you're not gonna suddenly start speaking russian, so it's fair to say actually it's not much like coming out as trans because it's not necessary but still risky

well, unless you develop a putin tulpa who takes charge over your brain

1:24 AM

then there might be some russian speaking involved

kitkat that's just you!

really?

1:25 AM

but i thought.........

this may be a bit of a stretch but I think there is a valid comparison to be made between "masking"/emotional labor at work and tulpamancy

1:26 AM

hmm no

1:27 AM

further consideration says that twas a silly idea

keep going

1:27 AM

let me tell you if it was silly or not

fair nuff

1:27 AM

eg regardless of who's in front, you still need to "perform" your "good worker" persona; this could be considered an identity under whoever's in front, kind of like a subsystem

1:27 AM

I can't remember the technical terms

it's not silly

1:27 AM

don't use terms at all!!

but I do remember reading about this, and relating to it in my own experience

no i think it's valid analogy

it makes sense to me
