They’re actually all the same person
Yep, different stages of working the problem.
Every bug you fix brings you closer to your fursona.
UωU
No working, no problem. Just a human being.
What you don’t see about the bearded guy is the farming tools in the background because he’s so burned out with tech that his hobbies have turned into basically anything aggressively not tech.
I started making hard cider :)
Feeling targeted here.
My hobbies include cozy games, gardening and tinkering.
That’s what happened to me, though I skipped tech entirely and went straight to the brewhouse. Physical jobs are so much more rewarding.
You forgot the main boss fight.

Ah, the network guru
Could be a Unix guy.

You either die in an ATF siege or live to become the sysop.
3 of these are the same person at different stages and you can’t convince me otherwise.
4 of these
Which is the first stage
I think it’s sort of like the stages of grief, where it doesn’t happen in any particular order.
For instance, I know a couple of people who started like the top left (they tend to describe this as their “neck beard phase”, who then became the top right. Then they became the bottom left (one is a trans woman, the other still identifies as a man, but enjoys presenting as a femboy sometimes). Then both of them became furries once they had enough disposable income.
I have another friend who started as a furry, but then became the top right when she needed entered the professional world (she was also in boy-mode at this point). Then this made her be miserable, especially because she was even more unhappy in this more conventional mode of masculinity, which made her become the top left. Then her egg cracked, and she turned into the bottom left. She says she doesn’t have the time or money to actively be a furry anymore, but she’s happy because she has a lot of friends who are, so this allows her to be close to a community that was an instrumental part in her finding herself (also for “helping [her] to not fucking kill [herself] as a depressed teenager”)
I imagine that it would be possible for any order of events to work, for different people. And some people may visit certain squares multiple times
I’ve been all 4 at one point or another
Quite the banner on your profile.
Don’t anyone show that to John Oliver. He’ll have a stroke
I do happen to be on the pawb.social instance
And you will be again.
The furry just realised he left the oven on.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
in past days I was in this picture.
Honestly, that would be a beautiful epitaph. Or the inscription of some monument. Imagine a cemetery on a hill overlooking a city. A tombstone is built in the form of a frame, through which can be seen the city below.
In past days, I was in this picture.
wow. it is more profound than I had intended.
There are at least six.


Back-end dev, front-end dev,
full-stack (possibly Twinkpad-to-Linux) security enthusiast, sysadmin.Dunno. I worked in a firstline where everyone was a gymguy. One was a competitive bodybuilder.
The other missing trope here is the business casual guy.
Or the industrial IT with the only non-dirty ppe on the site.
The four kinds of Portlander.
what not enough fresh air and sunlight does to a mfer
Weird, I’m not in the list. I’m something like this:


Good for you! We do need more women in IT.
Wdym there are tons of women, depending on how liberal you are.
I’ll take bottom right. You know at the very least there’s a higher chance they’ll try not to make any uncomfortable remarks as they work.
