Real neato burrito Intel. 👍

I’m old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, “Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane” and their job title right there.

The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were “let go” for breaking that contract.

There was a guy I met at a bar who took out his laptop to show me some cool personal app he was building using a no-code builder. I asked him about his laptop specs, and I shit you not, he said, “I don’t know. It’s whatever my job gives me.”

I tie a toy chicken to a wall that when honked, creates an audible sound.

I definitely remember the turning point.

Seeing a tiny version of something who raise (either human or furball) get older and do things outside of your control, and all you can do is set them up for success.

Kinda like playing The Sims.

I was too much of a nerd that I joined a informal high school circle where they hike and talked about “plants and trees” and all they did was smoke pot where I wanted to discuss invasive species to the forest population.

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
