    They’re not trying to get attention. They’re trying to express their natural instinctive behaviours, and are being prevented by your violence and cruelty.

        Hah! Fair jab. In my defense that title was just a blown up way to attempt to keep me onboard without a raise. Being director of IT in a startup with only one IT person is definitely not filled with director-level tasks. That title, and the bullshit that came with it, are a big part of why I left.

          I mean… I’ve dealt with plenty of AppSec, Development, and IT directors, and I’d say about half of them treated us like chickens. “Once they stop laying, slaughter 'em”

          Glad you got out while you still could!

      Yes! Your deeply intellectual take based on my comparison of chickens shitting and screaming to how IT managers act is surely correct about how I live my life, and how those chickens live.

      Fun fact - Our chickens live freely in the forest during the day, and have a nice safe place to sleep at night. We don’t force them to come home, but they know what lives out in the forest and choose to come back to where they are safe and have friends.

      Oh and we don’t eat them. But if you wanna call pulling their non-viable eggs out from wherever they left them today violence then I have a few bridges to sell you in manhattan.

        You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.

          Finally, some criticism that makes sense! I will be sure to start feeding the foxes too. We already feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, bunnies, raccoons, stray cats, fish, black flies, and mosquitoes (with varying levels of ‘on purpose’).

          What is one more species?

          Seriously - This cruel bastard spends $500(cad) per month on feeding wildlife in the winter. What a piece of shit. And those raccoon houses we built so they’d be happy further from the house and stop tearing up our insulation? TORTURE FACILITIES filled with soft straw, eggs, fruit, and cat food.

            Look how hard you work to justify your exploitation and violence to yourself. You know you aren’t going to convince me, this is all about bulwarking your own views.

              Nice try, troll. I’m posting here for the real humans. Not to convince you of anything.

              edit to add: only one of us came into a thread espousing their views without being prompted. Maybe work on that before accusing others.
