Webfishing is Cool (hexbear.net)

Dumb story time from web fishing:

I join a server room titled as a women's zone

Convo is lighthearted talk about furries and how cringe is good and fun.

A man joins the conversation.

Convo turns to older gacha games.

Guy casually mentions he has spent 24k on gacha games.

He immediately gets dunked on.

I say he sounds like a spoiled cybertruck owner.

Dude gets mad not at the cybertruck comment, but at being called spoiled.

Says I don't know any better because he calls his work a career while I call mine a job.

He openly admits without anyone nudging him on that he's a 26 year old veteran that got free college and now gets paid 300k a year to program... if he's to be believed.

We start calling him a war criminal.

Guy thinks he can own me by buying games for the chat. I tell him I don't need his blood money.

Some gal gets like a $60 game for free and he tells me how owned and mad I am.

I tell him I would feel sorry for him being this lonely if he wasn't a war criminal.

Guy starts misgendering everyone that called him a war criminal.

He immediately gets kicked and everyone is relieved.

I get to stay and naturally the convo becomes a lot more relaxed and gay.

I'm getting ripped off

The guy I replaced got a job making about 250k and for a moment I thought I could do it, but then I remembered that guy is actually smart and understands everything he does while I just copy other people's code and beg copilot for answers. I might be able to trick someone into hiring me for one of those high salary gigs, but surely I would expose myself as a fraud and get fired.

This is how you advance in white collar jobs, not get fired

Just dump any actually difficult work onto the junior engineers

Just realized this happened a day after Veterans Day, no wonder he was so pissed that the chat didn't immediately start licking his boots.

Your use of it is great, of course, but I can't imagine it not eventually getting shut down after it produces some very disturbing headlines.

Does the game have voice chat or was this all through text chat?
