Think further before, don’t wait for the middle of a conversion. Run potential future conversations through in your mind before you even see these coworkers and decide in advance how you’ll respond to various topics so you don’t have to do it in the moment.

My reddit username was u/nemo_sum, I modded a few subreddits, someone apparently took umbrage with either something I said as a user or one of my modactions, and took to commenting in those subs as u/nemo_sum_is_gay.

I don’t consider that an insult and they weren’t breaking any rules, so I just left them alone until they got bored of it. Took about three months.

Back on reddit, someone made a parody account of me. That’s the closest I’ve come.

I’m not just being a dick, here: I just can’t trust that someone without a basic ability to look at a word and see that it’s wrong will be able to look at a photo and see that it’s real or fake.

Did not know this, that’s actually really cool.

take off your shoes and drive barefoot for maximum control, then change back into shoes for your workday

It’s alright, as long as you Taylor your responses to reflect that.
