  Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

  But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

  I got my MBA a couple months before the dot com bubble burst. Tell me about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah know, I got laid off in 2014 and it still hurts a little.

  The men where I live don’t seem to buy into the idea of toxic masculinity. They’re fashion conscious, spend a lot of time on their hair and if they don’t carry a “man bag” per se, then they’re likely to at least be spotted holding their GF’s purse. A lot of guys do cardio, not a lot do bodybuilding. Most men ride Vespa scooters and cars with fart cannon mufflers are not unheard of, but vanishingly rare. Gigantic pickup trucks are nonexistent.

  But even here the most popular men’s body wash variety is “charcoal.” 😂

  They would never get that riddle where the surgeon turns out to be the kid’s mom.

  Oh come on. Obviously you’re very appreciated. Says right there. 😜

  I’ve been waiting for this.

  If we wanted to take the pedantry to the next level, we could get into a metaphysical discussion about whether the word “screen” refers to the physical appliance displaying the content or the content itself. When you “share your screen” in a Teams meeting, you don’t box up your monitor and mail it to your coworkers. 🤔
