has anyone else noticed that the classic sci fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus features a Torment Nexus? That's pretty problematic of the author

firestorm09890
the main character eventually recognizes the torment nexus is bad but by that point I had already stopped reading the book because I don't condone the torment nexus, the narrative really should've condemned it outright :/

some-sort-of-humanoid-lifeform
Really it's also problematic that you started reading it, at all. I mean, good on you for stopping when you realized but if you were *really* a good and decent person you would have read reviews first and known not to even buy it in the first place.

It used to be that we complained about this industry because the work is hard, hours are long, pay is meh, and the audience for our work hates us. Now also your career is likely to get tossed into a wood chipper by an MBA vampire who couldn't explain your job if someone put a gun to their head.

Hey folks! An Alberta animal rescue has opted to decline a donation due to the origins (there's an entire history with that business). People are already harassing the organization on Facebook for not caring about the animals, etc. If you can, please donate: tailstotell.ca/donate/

At Tails to Tell Animal Rescue Shelter, we are aware of a recent social media post by Paul’s Pizza (Airdrie) indicating that funds raised through a fundraiser would be donated to our organization.
We would like to clarify to our community that this fundraiser was organized without our knowledge or involvement. After careful consideration, we will not be accepting these funds.
As an organization, Tails to Tell is guided by values of inclusivity, respect, and compassion. We are proud of our diverse community of volunteers, fosters, adopters, and supporters, and we remain deeply committed to ensuring that all who are part of our organization feel welcomed, valued, and safe.
We appreciate the ongoing support from our community and thank you for standing with us.💟
With gratitude,
Your friends at Tails to Tell Animal Rescue Shelter
