  • This is unwise. Best case is people don’t laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people’s religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.

    Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You’re being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.

    If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.





  • Yeah, you just have to know yourself. Personally I feel like I need to go into the office once per week otherwise work starts becoming an abstract thing. But I’ve known some co-workers I wouldn’t see for months at a time that were really on the ball. Ask an obscure question about something really technical on slack and get an answer within seconds kind of thing. I knew another guy that said he had to come into the office every day because his family was too distracting.

    Everyone needs to know what works for them and be a responsible professional about it.

    And yeah managers that want 100% RTO are just admitting they can’t handle working from home. Ok that’s your thing, but it’s not a thing for everyone else.

    Anyway I got out the the RTO thing because I told them of the times some computers were having issues and I had to work the whole weekend (from home) to fix them. If I’m going to be 100% RTO then I’m 0% WFH and the next time something like that happens I won’t be able to start working on it until 9am on Monday morning. So I’m still in the office one day per week, weather permitting, which is my preference.



  • I think the spell is based around trust, the vampire has to convince you to trust them enough (either through charm or trickery) to invite them into your private living space. I think an outhouse would work since there’s a major expectation of privacy there.

    I think a warrant would help the vampire convince people to trust them (a judge trusted them to execute their court order) but probably wouldn’t be enough on it’s own. Because it’s not about convincing someone else to say it’s ok to enter your home, they have to convince you to give them permission. But the vampire could say “I have been ordered by the court to search your house, may I come in?” They’d have to wait until you’ve read the warrant, maybe call your lawyer, and your lawyer would tell you that you have to let them in. Then you’d likely give permission to the vampire to enter your house because your lawyer told you to. Because lawyers are just another kind of blood sucker, aren’t they?








  • Yeah but there wasn’t an algorithm picking out all of that shit and giving us a constant stream of 100% pure troll heroin.

    Seeing one post in fifty telling you garbage puts it into the context of “that guy is saying some weird shit”. Seeing only garbage in your feed makes it seem normal and those opposed to it are the weirdos.

    I doubt someone without depth perception would crash either. They’d notice the straps on the side, and things not being the exact colour shade. Might think it was a big piece of glass set up on the road, but that wouldn’t be something you’d just plow through.
