    My coworker got in trouble for using the word “circlejerk” in our AI Slack channel.

        lol it’s to talk about new AI tools and just a bountiful smorgasboard of toxic positivity.

          “I love having this tool vomit unintelligible garbage at people and making them figure out what I’m trying to say!”

          “Me too! I wonder if I can offload everything in my life to the random token generator!”

          “I’ve been using model 7.5 and can really feel the difference in quality between my garbled output! Whereas 7.4 felt awful and slow 7.5 feels like it knows me!”

          Every damn AI channel.

            What’s funny is that your parody is only barely an exaggeration.

            I wanted to point out that both the term and the activity of brainstorming exist outside corporate settings, and that I consider it a good thing, at least in principle.

            It’s not (just) corporate lingo.

            So, not fully disagreeing, but not agreeing either.

      “In that case, someone other than the pencil ought to do that job, don’t you agree?”

        I don’t think it’s cut out for this work. The pencil refuses to be sharpened or only stays sharp for a day at a time and eventually ends up trying to stab anyone who wants to use or sharpen it.

        But, we eventually we have to talk about real life problems instead of pretending everything is simple. Sorry, pilaz, you’re fired.

    I have tested as “color superior”. At my work, we had to match colorant of the product we were manufacturing. It requires a sign off from someone who can pass the color test. You line up little color samples in order from lightest to darkest, and I pass everytime.

    except this one day. I was the only woman in the department, and you can imagine the shit Id hear on a daily basis. I had failed the test and I said, “ahh its probably cuz my cunt is bleeding, Im not feeling my best and I probably fucked it up” or somethinh like that, I forgot what I said exactly, but I got a chuckle from my coworkers however I worded it.

    Later thay day HR called me in. I think the dork who admin. the test bitched I said that. When she told me, I laughed “do you know what I hear daily out there on the floor? Ive never complained once and I hear wild shit all the time”. I promised not to make the same comment and left the meeting laughing to myself

    little bitch boys will talk all the shit, say aweful things, be misoginistic, bigoted, but they draw the line at “my cunt is bleeding”

    fucking babies.

    Sometimes I rather enjoy working for boomers. My boss will just light up a cigarette in the shop, we rag on eachother constantly and joke about hanging ourselves from the rafters.

    Actually a pencil that hasn’t done any work in flat. It’s only sharp from continuous use and sharpening.

    Maybe that boss was right.
