God I love returning to the office just to jump on zoom calls.
My manager asked me why I expensed a $500 headset and told him it’s because I’m on the phone all day and want one that’s more comfortable.
He asked me for the model and he bought one as well.
But at least I get free* coffee

I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that this is Trump’s MO.
He says some crazy shit. Then whatever the shit is, people react and have to spend time and energy refuting. Meanwhile Trump goes on to say other stupid shit. Without a fucking care in the world.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO BE A POLITICIAN!!
The fact that half of our country voted for this shows you the kind of people they are.
He’s not even president yet and it’s already fucking tiring.
This is a reference I haven’t seen in YEARS.
Damn that takes me back.
The last time I was job searching, Comcast recruited me for a job. It was for way more than I was expecting but I told them that I was not going to work for them. They tried to push and ask me why and I should go through the interview process to see if I like it.
I was very frank with them. Their stance on net neutrality alone was enough for me to decline. The recruiter was surprisingly understanding and wished me luck.
I think it was Some More News that was talking about this trend of using young, frustrated men and grooming them towards authoritarianism.
The researcher they had on was talking about how this is how every fascist party got into power. The good news is that it’s often not enough to keep them in power.
I say something similar when people say, “But your phone tracks you! Why are you worried about [privacy issue here]?”
“Well, I’m just going to go to your place and fuck your wife. Why are you worried? You’re already fucking her. What’s the difference?”
Consent. Consent is the difference.
