@Fuego extremely belated on this but, daaaamn, that's wild. I'm glad you're okay at least

@angrboda

@kotep ah, thank you! I know what it means now. I can't say it publicly because it would reveal something about my office location, but what you said was enough to solve it. Thanks!

@kotep sorry to stereotype you as "Egyptian mystery solver guy", but is there any way you can either translate this, or know where I could go to translate it myself? A new starter at my work included it in their profile, and I'm curious

@abe_e_seedy also, this whole thing is built from stock images, and like 90% of the time they have white people in the position of authority, and several reflexive assumptions that those who are higher up are male.

Love to have "make people work for free" enshrined in this extremely corporate management training course I'm doing

@angrboda please

I talk a lot of shit about TinyMans, but "what if zombie pirate vampires?" is exactly the kind of dumb bullshit the Warhammer setting does well.

So, quietly intrigurd by this new DLC, I guess

@Therian ah, fair enough! That sounds good then - I just thought "corporate" + "drag" and instinctively shuddered, but it sounds like your situation doesn't match that fear.

@Therian oh boy if your industry has a bunch of middle-aged white dudes, I can see this going extremely wrong. I trust you personally to be good about this, but I can extremely see some random dude from another company taking this as a license to show up wearing a bra and making a ton of transphobic jokes.

So, I guess maybe find a way to make it clear that that shit won't fly?

@angrboda I mean yeah, that's the thing right? I'm glad they're improving wages, but that still doesn't mean they're not terrible if their warehouse staff have to be on their feet 10 hours straight

Well I'll be damned, Amazon is significantly increasing their minimum wage. It doesn't make Amazon good, but it's at least a welcome step towards them being less bad: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/02/amazon-raises-minimum-wage-us-uk-employees

@angrboda holy shit

This picture is rad, and you are extremely rad for doing all this. I hope the exercise helped you de-stress after such a Day

For when you're really thirsty for that goo TF

@kotep the thing is the outright expect several instances of the latter, and I just have no desire to attend a party where the constant joke is just "reality is a hellscape, haha! Anyone seen the latest #Black Mirror?"

I mean, I already wasn't planning on going because I knew people would show up as like, Nigel Farage or 'the reality of Brexit' or some shit, but it hadn't really sunk in until then just how many incredibly, tiresomely bad takes there'd be

My friend here is planning a Halloween party where the theme is "Dystopia". Last night I talked to one friend about his planned costume, Neo from the Matrix, and his idea that "the real dystopia in that film is the real world, the correct choice is to stay and be cared for by the machines" made me extremely sure I had no intention of going to that party and experiencing more "woah, makes you think man, huh?" bullshit

@angrboda I believe it is new - I certainly don't remember seeing it before

Oops, fuck you
