Good morning, team HR needs help identifying the teammate who posted this offensive material on the whiteboard Besides breaking the “no politics” rule, this misrepresents our core values and sends a dangerous message both up and downstream. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Hardest lesson about being a mentor I’ve learned. You want to help everyone, making time your most precious resource.

If Terraforming Mars appeals to you but you don’t want to support people with a public record of transphobia, may I suggest a much better game made by much better people Daybreak is incredible.

What does Gen Z use instead of
?
skull
Whilst boomers and millennials may use the emoji, this has long since been deemed 'uncool' (or 'cheugy') by Gen Z. Instead, this has been replaced by the skull (•) or the crying emoji (a), dramatising the idea of 'dying with laughter'.o

Cartoon. 
Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“

My primary issue with conservatism in a paragraph
History isn't a golden age, it's a crime scene we keep pretending was a theme park. The country isn't declining. Your preferred hierarchy is.

Moar food porn: Char Koay Teow (pictured below) Flat rice noodles in lard and soy with egg, shrimp, scallions, garlic and other optional things (I generally go very basic) The key is the wok it’s flash fried in. The best are generations old and you can really taste the wok itself! 😋
