Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

Being so aggressively mid will frequently get you the mean.

Edit: Before you pedantically argue that the median != mean, I'd suggest that your posts plainly fall on the normal curve because they are all typically boring, standard deviations.

it’s fucking amazing the volume of these guys who think we have a rule about tone (we don’t, we never will, spaces with rules like that end up using them against justifiably angry marginalized people) because it’s what they’re used to using as a weapon in the politics sections of reddit and lemmy, but don’t bother to see what our only written rule is (because they don’t fucking read, there’s no room for that when your whole personality is cosplaying as the smart adult in the room)
