    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.

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

            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.

          “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.

    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.

      The genuinely good baby boomers are definitely a highlight to socialise people. Really good, appreciative folk who do they’re best.

    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.

        But it’s not. Pencils have to be resharpened when they’re used, so a sharp point doesn’t inherently mean it’s never been used for work.

          But then you’d see the pencil being shorter, but adding that is too long for a quip.

          Remind me of the classic: “There are two types of people on the world, those who can extrapolate from incomplete information.”

            This isn’t a case of extrapolating from incomplete information. The premise of the comeback metaphor is fundamentally flawed.

              I don’t know why so many people are downvoting this when you’re so clearly right. It’s a comeback that sounds superficially clever, but doesn’t stand up to any kind of analysis. If you keep using your pencil after you’ve blunted it instead of sharpening it again, you’re doing low quality work.

            But this one breaks down with very little scrutiny. A sharp point doesn’t mean it’s never been used.

            Have you never worked because you woke up not feeling exhausted?

              You wouldn’t fit in with that crowd, just take it at face value, chuckle and move on. It’s a very simple joke your making it complicated

        The actual box that is being talked about isn’t the one you buy them in, it’s the one you store them in. A pencil case.

        It’s like saying not the sharpest knife in the drawer, or tool in the shed.
