Right on! I get this energy as well. Never had anyone "manage" me. Make my own schedule and I project deep roots into everything I touch and improve cutting me loose would be extremely painful.

I did work somewhere where the COO wanted to can my ass. But they were constantly told I was way to valuable by the rest of the c-suite and cool it. Their problem was I wouldn't kiss their ass and called them out on dumb ideas.

I show up to do work, not play politics. Turns out being good at what you do pays off sometimes.

    Awesome, might ask a friend to print this for me. Wonder what got me on the list, must be my charm.

    *Edit Ah ha, has to be 9. Shit my last comment in my history was a joke about jerking off to my parents.

    9) Accounts that post content an average person off the street would see in the feed and go "What the actual fuck?!"

    Kinda hard to quantify this one, but basically people who continuously post stuff that, even allowing for a very open mind, the average person would find offputting.

    I always thought my stepdad was just giving my dad pointers, because dad sometimes just sat in the corner watching.

    Anyways I think they are all still good friends, because I find them eating breakfast together.

    Circumcision in America also has more to do with quacks like Harvey Kellogg.

    He's not the primary reason. There were groups of influential people in the late 19th century pushing wild ideas. However, circumcision wasn't as widespread until the early 20th century.

    That's not that long ago, but long enough to fuck up generations of boys and force them to think it's normal to be mutilated.
