I used to work in the valley. As a general rule, the higher up in the org the person is, the more relaxed they are about a little lawbreaking.

Have you ever talked with a woman about her experience working in STEM academia?

45 year old men making gross propositions is not at all unusual. And often those are the people deciding whether you have a professional future.

She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.

I don’t get it

Yeah it’s Sinterklaas day on the 6th, right?

One of my Dutch coworkers always brought in chocolates. He said that once at Philips he played one of Pieter’s countrymen for the company event (yes in full makeup).

That was a while ago tho…

I think the online thing is about to start dropping. The sites are so full of looky-loos who just want to chat and never actually meet in person they’re hardly worth the time. I expect as the bot infestation continues to grow, they’ll be even less useful.

Trump’s friends are Peter Thiel and VV Putin.

Looooooooooooooool

The establishment media wants Trump to win, don’t fool yourself.

December 25 literally the Day of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun, invented by Emperor Julian in an attempt to restore paganism to the Roman Empire in the early 300s.

Dec 25 only became accepted as the birth date of Jesus afterwards.

Can’t make it up.

The cyborg assassin girls from pistol shooting also fit very nicely into the lesbian gaze.

Sure is.

Both of the characters in this comic are transphobic, though.

Great photo, thanks for sharing.

Drag is a particular style of cross dressing done as part of a performance, typically characterized by campy, flamboyant, attire and makeup.

These two look like they’re living their lives, not trying to be the center of attention, so I’m not sure Drag Queen is the right term.

Boomers my ass. This is Gen X gaming.

What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?

But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.

12 minutes or so in, they say “as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially.” I thought “actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever”, and finished the video intending to get on with my life.

My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. “HR have proven themselves to be fools!” “I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again.” “Once again non-technical people talking out their asses.”

HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
