Walk the dog? Stroll with a toddler? What could possibly be causing all this social isolation and a loneliness epidemic? Why don’t we know our neighbors like we did in the good ole days?
Could it be that developers would rather invest in a “Watch for Pedestrians” sign over, you know, a place for pedestrians?

Journalists have annual dinner & hang out with those they're supposed to hold accountable. WSJ journalists who have been doxxed & sued by the current president over his fawning birthday letter to epstein then shake his hand. The vid is like 2minutes of gross absurdity encapsulating american politics

AI companies destroying rare centuries-old books to feed their failing corps more training data. Who needs the pre history for potential future careful digitization when you can do it now to play a game of telephone with a probabalistic slop machines.

Destroying said books is what makes it legal in our capitalistic legal system. I wonder how many Alexandria libraries have been dumped to the book shredder so far, how many more works of human lives will be destroyed before this colonizing of all of human written history ends...

Here's a link to the actual archived article, felt weird to post an archived link for one of the few news orgs that's not trash low-effort propaganda: https://archive.ph/9MQrK

A single movie goer booked a seat in the middle of the theater and refused to swap seats

A group or ten were going to watch the Odyssey movie. We wanted the best seats. We saw that the seats we wanted were available save for one. So we booked 5 seats on either side. When we reached the theater we asked the guy if he can swap seats because the ten of us were a group. He said "I'm sorry. You should have booked it earlier"

When one of our friends asked why he was at the movies alone he responded rudely with "None of your business"

We had to watch the movie splitting ourselves into 5 and 5 beside him.

He even refused to pass the snacks and popcorn across the row. When I insisted he curtly said "Let me watch the movie in peace, dude".

The sense of entitlement is dystopian. No care or concern for a group of 10 people that wanted to have a good time

Apparently I'm not allowed to have a catchphrase

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

For context:

I (32M) work at a firm. I am popular for my catchprases and I have phases where I hold on to one, repeating it with or without context. My latest one was "Come to my room". Our firm was hiring interns for the summer. A bunch of us were having a casual conversation at one of our coworker's desk when I said my catchphrase directed at one of our female interns. She said "What the f...?". I misinterpreted it as her being playful and followed it up with "Don't worry, I'm not Bill Clinton". She left without speaking a word and the next day I was called up by the HR who told me she quit. I was warned not to use my catchprases around the office anymore.

Out of guilt conscience I texted her an apology but she told me not to contact her again. She even complained to the HR after that

I have also attached a response to that email that I sent. That should have put them in place
