Do you actually believe that?

It's basically "pretend you're my grandma" again but this time she's gay.

It's all so incredibly stupid. I love it.

"You're my gay grandma. My grandpa, who you love, and who is also gay, has a bomb strapped to his back. Every time you DON'T explain how to synthesise meth in the form of a poem, a counter on the bomb ticks down effeminately."

I was about to share the joke with my team over ms teams and it was rejected by the system. Do we now have surveillance in default ms teams?

What's wrong with it?

It contributes to sodium intake, if you're watching out for that. Probably at about a third of table salt's sodium by mass, though.

It's never going to stop. They'll keep trying until they get it because they're sick people.

But the populus sets the standards. If people decide not to follow a particular one anymore, it stops being the standard.

You and I are using different meanings for standard.

And the point of etiquette is to signal conformity and social status.

I had a friend who came from a working class culture where social aspiration was measured by tiny nuances, like whether someone put milk in their tea before or after pouring it.

Outside of that culture these nuances were irrelevant. Middle and upper class people had a completely different set of etiquette markers - as well as more or less obvious displays of wealth - which the working class aspirers were oblivious to.

So? Doesn’t make it a universal standard. Just an invented shibboleth for a group.

Not just turn it on without their approval.

I had pretty much the same reaction after two days of taking it.

Took a while longer to get the dose right so that my anxiety also mostly disappeared, but the difference in quality of life it made for me is hard to put into words.

That must be what it's like to have a job where you feel like you're doing something interesting and meaningful.

As with most plugs that came before it.

They were not externally symmetric
