Diagnosis is good msbelle, as well as prognosis. That's cool.
Hey, does anyone here use Instagram? Or is it really just for the kids on the lawn?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That rascist screed about advising your kids on dealing with "non-whites"? The good news is that it got John Derbyshire fired from the National Review. The bad news is, The National Review continues to be a haven for rascist assholes.
And, Scott Walker, not to be topped by repealing the equal pay laws in Wisconsin, decides to prevent same-sex couples from visiting each other in the hospital.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you want to more exposure to the conservative viewpoint, but to the sane part of it, what publications out there would people rec? Conservative journals with zero tolerance for racism or sexism, so I can see sane intelligent conservative points view, conservatism worth engaging even if it is not likely to convince me.

Typo, do you read Andrew Sullivan's The Daily Dish?
He's a conservative by UK standards, which means conservatives here think he's liberal.

Sullivan's kinda racist, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A "disk drive full!" alert goes out, and my manager forwards it to me and three other people to make sure we see it, which is good, because I was filtering (oops) that email address away. Since no one is actually expert on this system, I suggest a few reasons it could have run out of space, and a few places to start looking for the capacity hog. I say, explicitly "I can't do this. Who can? Also look for these file types:...." and when I call the only developer that seems to be in the office to see if she's done anything she says "I thought you said you were working on it."
Seriously? Seriously? How little get up and go are you willing to admit not having?

Ann, that's a ferret.
The good news is that it got John Derbyshire fired from the National Review. The bad news is, The National Review continues to be a haven for rascist assholes.
The even worse news is, calling for the death of Chelsea Clinton on the ground of "I don't like her parents" didn't get Derbyshire fired from the National Review.

ARRRRGH. New workplace is making me FUCKING CRAZY.
I've been staffed on a project that is a "rescue", first of all (we took it over from another company who was fucking it up) and second of all NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY"RE DOING. Which means they're telling me blithely "you need training in A, and then go do X Y and Z!" only X Y and Z aren't POSSIBLE, at least not without new info or access (and when you reply to my email "no, just do it" that's NOT HELPFUL). And then when it turns out I also need to do B, C, and possibly D-K? You're not helpful when you tell me it should only take a few minutes to do all those.
