I think it looks like it was painted with a thump, I was staring at it in amazement for a couple of minutes

Being a shithead can manifest itself in many ways:

If your friend says something offensive, and you don't call them out, or you only gently scold them so you can stay on good terms - you're being a shit head.

If you're criticising people behind their back, or holding your tongue in a meeting, and gossiping later - you're being a shithead.

If you're letting people off lightly because what they say doesn't personally affect you - you're being a shithead.

If you're demanding special treatment, while expecting others hold themselves to a higher standard - you're being a shithead.

If you resort to personal attacks, instead of arguing against an incorrect point - you're being a shithead.

If you hear someone state a falsehood as fact, and you don't correct them - you're being a shithead.

If you're at work and you're not agitating, and showing no concern for the well-being of others - you're being a shithead.

If you see someone harming others, while you do nothing to stop them, and do not try to reason with them - you're being a shithead.

If you do the bare minimum, with no direction, plans or goals - you're being a shithead.

If you consider yourself a veteran, better than others around you, and above menial tasks, - you're being a shithead.

If you're aware you've made a mistake, and you do nothing to correct it - you're being a shithead.

Being a shithead might keep you comfortable and safe, but you're doing harm to those around you when you engage in these behaviours.

If you're being a shithead, do not.

I try my best to uphold these principles, so yeah I guess you can say I'm pretty unpopular.

😎Yes I did just do a shorthand version of combat liberalism and ctrl+h "liberal" with "shithead", the idea of making a poster with these points that just says "DONT BE A SHIT" has been floating around in my noggin for a while, yes thank you, I am very funny.

spoiler 😱 actually if the original copy of this said "shitremoved" and I changed it to "shithead" so I don't upset anyone, is that liberalism? 🤔 /s :::

I feel like this should almost go in c/badposting haha

Is it really this easy? I want to side load linux onto my desktop so i can start transitioning over (especially because i have an ancient laser printer with linux drivers in the box, that windows 10 wont support!)

I basically only use foobar, firefox, and gimp as it is

There's birds native to australia that have the same horrific habit and theyre equally adorable. They also have one of my favourite birdsongs

Butcherbirds are insect eaters for the most part, but will also feed on small lizards and other vertebrates. They get their name from their habit of impaling captured prey on a thorn, tree fork, or crevice. This "larder" is used to support the victim while it is being eaten, to store prey for later consumption, or to attract mates.

 

Hey comrades, theres a local (to me) org RED ANT, doing an online conference on China titled China is not an enemy. Is China really an imperialist Country? - Saturday 13 July, 3pm (AEST)

Dont dox yourselves, but i'll email the org to let them know some online international nerds might rock up

I'm not involved, just sharing after I attended a conference they ran earlier in the year, they've done some talks in collaboration with the Party of Socialism and Liberation, they've also worked in collaboration with the United Socialists Part of Venezuela.

I just think they're neat!

 

sorry for posting this sad old meme, I spat out my coffee when I saw it this morning
