The mind is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised!

A philosopher can be a shitposter, but not every shitposter is a philosopher.

I once had a colleague who took interest in me. After she found out I have a girlfriend and I after I simply greeted at her at work she snapped: „What?? Do you know how long I haven’t had Sex? Three Months! THREE MONTHS!!!“ and turned away.

Three month without sex never seemed a very long period to me.

It’s indeed important to be an understanding boss. And I’ve also been on both sides of this and agree with you that it sucks pretty much.

However: this guy is a bad worker with a bad attitude and clearly states that he has no interest in his job. He does bad enough work to upset his teammates. You’re his boss. Don’t hang out with him. Maybe a beer after work, but even that stretches it. You wanna be his friend and hang out with him outside of work? Then you both should not work directly with each other. There is a time and place for delicacy and sometimes not.

Sorry, I’m a bit harsh! But I had problems with a co-worker myself. And I suffered actually years from constant drama because I was polite and considerate and forgiving. And it would have saved me from so much frustration and stress if I kept my distance in the beginning or just plainly told him to fuck off.

This is not complicated at all. Ask her out and let her choose. Have a polite, but not too close relationship to the guy who is basically your subordinate. If you think he might harm himself, take action, but other than that your not responsible for his wellbeing.

Also, it sounds to me that you are trying to be absolutely fair to this guy, not only in this thread but also at work, but not necessarily like him too much. I’m also pretty certain that she was just polite to him and didn’t want to upset him. Talk with your love interest, than you will know.

That sounds like a poorly disguised fetish.

Lol, MS is going to enshitify GitHub so hard and everybody with common sense is seeing it coming.

I mean the author has a right to his opinion, as much as you have a right to yours. Time will tell who’s right.

and if they ever do something supremely stupid it’s easy to move away.

We don’t need to move, this super flammable building hasn’t gone up in flames yet…

It’s Microsoft we’re talking about. Are you sure they don’t fuck it up?

Better to move away now, on our own terms. That’s my opinion.

While he concentrates a bit too much on emojis, he brings up valid points.

She was already dead when the picture was taken.

Are they bots? This reads like a parody, like someone re-enacting a Reddit post after only having heard stories about the website.

The jokes aren’t even funny…

Ah, the story of how Putins Russia invaded Ukraine.

Duly noted.

Thanks!

Bang Lois Lane and order some pizza afterwards, obviously.
