Making other people feel dumb doesn’t make you smarter.

Yeah, all of capitalism is bad, but not all equally bad. Saying so gives cover to bad actors. Take a look at the reasons given why different companies are bad. Conspiracy theories & "Javascript bad" are not the same as worker exploitation & crypto grifts. twitter.com/wongmjane/stat…

nowhere near as as embarrassing as getting “you’re not sexually active, right?”

you don’t have to congratulate anyone for a new job you don’t want to congratulate but you could simply say nothing instead of personal attacks and bullying pile ons

Have you noticed the people who don’t want to help refugees because we “have our own poor” also don’t want to help our own poor?

Me reading Watchmen in 1987: wow Ozymandias represents a level of cynicism about humanity that I could not have imagined Me reading Watchmen in 2021: wow Ozymandias is a naive optimist

I’m not sure who needs to hear it, but “offering someone more money or a better environment to work there” is called “recruiting.” GTFO with this “poaching” narrative. You employ people, you don’t own them.

"I had a black friend". Singular. Not multiple. One. "I liked her, and I think she liked me". My intentions were pure. Not so sure about hers. "Now she's hostile & unpleasant" Stereotypes of black ppl being angry & violent. "I'm sure I didn't do anything" I'm the victim here

News keeps asking "Should people feel bad just because of American history?" The answer is simply yes. When you learn about crimes against humanity you should feel bad. Hope this helps.

Remote work manages to avoid certain uncomfortable social dynamics and I’m all for it. Cheers to minimizing inappropriate and uninvited comments about personal life, health, wellbeing, etc! 🥂

I know this is the wrong takeaway, but the end of Don't Look Up made me jealous that our current apocalypse lacks the swiftness and equality of a giant comet.

The large majority of women know that what she says isn’t out of “concern for women” in any way shape or form. It’s out of hatred for transgender people. There’s no good intent in her rants. That’s why.

remember when coinbase banned employees talking politics? y’know, the crypto company—which by proxy is a super emitter—doesn’t let its staff talk about politics. anyway imagine getting a job there

Telling the doctor "ask your mom" to assert dominance and get didgnosed as sick AF

I hate it when they ask like they don't believe you. you're my doctor. I have zero reason to lie to you about being a lonely loser. or when they're like "is there any chance you're pregnant". not unless it's Jesus Jr.

You know how fuckin embarrassing it is to tell your doctor that you're not sexually active

maybe if you stopped discriminating against us goblins and just gave us a chance then maybe you'd finally meet a nice 2.5ft tall green little man who would totally not steal all the precious trinkets from your bedroom and then ghost you for a dragon with a danker lair
