my wife works in administration at the company farm and the pay isn't great but the perks are nice. yesterday one of the growers chopped a half ounce of lemonhead right off the tree and sent her home with it

yeah its more of a management position but i'd still be selling people drugs i guess

we've been coasting on savings during the pandemic but i guess i'm officially poor as poo poo now so i'll take whatever honestly

if the emoji colors are adding to your stack of microaggressions you should probably reprioritize

i think it irks me because 1) the design choice slack made to show multiple skin tones is bad and it feels problematic to tally up the by-race participation in an emoji, and 2) i use the default ones instead of the extremely pasty white ones that match my gross body and i don't like to be reminded of that

im glad other people are getting a positive experience out of it though. i was curious about that.

wait a minute, once a new hire uploaded a whole suite of (unironically likeable) panda emojis and it just now occurred to me that she was (probably intentionally because she was v cool and good) providing the team with a gender neutral option for almost all of the common reactions

westerners: I have no idea how Chinese people can learn to read and write!! how do you memorise thousands of symbols with intricate details in them??

also westerners: this guy is probably racist because he is white but only uses the black emojis and when he responded with “🙏🏿👨🏿‍🦱 ong fr fr 👩🏿‍💻🧠” it came off as both racist and condescending

anyways time to see what my bf is up to 🤔🥴🥵🍑🍆

I dropped from my last one the other day when I joined the meeting and the presenter literally told a "and then everyone stood up and clapped" story. Can't be feeding bullshit like that before the day has even really started.

cjs: does it count as a ragequit if you’re in one entire meeting from 4pm-530pm, the meeting goes over time by 15 minutes, 2/3 of the people including you do not need to be there and don’t speak, the meeting is about something 99% orthogonal to what you do, you were clearly just included because the organizer had no idea who knows what and shotgunned invites, and after your Adderall wears off you suddenly enter a fugue state and unconsciously press the Leave Meeting button
