      I know someone who made a LinkedIn type connection at an airport and later DMd them on linkedin asking if they want to fuck.

          You would be surprised how often this happens to women on LinkedIn actually, it's a real problem.

    "Hey everyone welcome Todd, he's the new accountant. He had a very strong resume that I reviewed after destroying his boipussy last weekend. Very talented fellow. Looking forward to having him on the team. Apparently he collects funky pops, is that right Todd? Oh funko pops. You're such a geek."

    I know it's pointless to complain about this now, but literally the entire concept of "networking" is a tacit admission that there is no such thing as meritocracy, and yet somehow still blame you for not trying hard enough.

      God my sociology class on social stratification was the most depressing and anxiety inducing class I've ever taken. Like realising that the prof, and 60 students are nodding along with the idea that social relationships should be exploited to propel a career, treated as 'social capital'? Chilling. Realising that as an autistic person suffering from a severe level of social anxiety, to the point where I'm only barely able to talk to professors about stuff now, after years of school, and that sets me behind everyone else by years caused me panic attacks almost every class it was talked about. Fuck networking.

      I see it as a way to enforce the myth of meritocracy. The implication is that everyone can do it and if it didn’t do anything to help you, you either didn’t do it right or were too lazy with it to meet enough people.

      Was that the dating app that was suppose to make dating more “fair” along with make women make the first move? Because I remember the founder woman was very lib about the whole thing. It was kind of a frustrating read tbh.

        It definitely is, though as an overall experience (imo as a cis straight man), I've found that Bumble is a far superior platform to Tinder or other dating apps of its ilk, because the massive "generic, thirsty, manipulative, POS guy" demographic is largely drained of their aggressively predatory influence in that model. I'm sure other people have had different experiences with it, but that alone is an enormous improvement on how standard dating apps are structured.

    I've seen a profile or two who went from "#VoteHarris/Warren!" as their header to "#VoteBiden!" and every single time I reject their messages
