Scrolling through Facebook, a friend I know with a prestigious job at an INGO just unironically posted a "news story" from a DC think tank about how Russian forces are planning on stealing Ukrainian children to demoralize Ukrainian forces. The think tank is funded by defense contractors and you can read on the goddamn Wikipedia page that they advocate for increased military presence in foreign conflicts. How do you post anything like that and get to remain a serious person?

    I work with a liz lad and he is naturally one of the worst people I've ever met; always pushing work off onto you, never reciprocates, prioritizes processes above results, and is fake-nice as hell. :warren-snake:

    My former coworkers were like this and it's what finally got me to give up Facebook. Think tank pieces? Critical thought? My brother in christ, you can't even stop drooling over every single Disney trailer that comes out.

      I wish I had the stones to do that.

      He posted later about being mad about not getting away with an illegal, but commonly done thing where you say that you'll give priority to tenants to take over your lease if they agree to buy your furniture. The new tenant backed out of the agreement after promising that they would buy his stuff (which is what I'll do if I ever change apartments - fuck renters who try to fuck over other renters) so now he's not happy so I can content myself with that.

    I live in the American midwest, so no, mine are all lolbertarians or other varieties of chud.

    With the exception of one that is possibly a liberal, but very 'apolitical'

    I have one of those remote jobs with minimal human interaction so not really. Though I'm sure the isolation will manifest itself in a negative way at some point in the future.

    My coworkers were so upset when chuds stormed the capitol on Jan 6 that they canceled all the meetings for the rest of the day. I was laughing my ass off so I had to refrain from posting in the work chats
