I didn’t watch the video but for that last point, ME!

Most BLECH! quote from the Quincy Jones interview: “Women give up pussy to get love, men give up love to get pussy.” Or it could be that there are plenty of women who just want casual sex, but guys think of them as “sluts” for engaging in the exact same behavior men and their friends engage in. Instead, they prefer to…

Seriously, Pad Thai is complete garbage and you all need to stop eating it.

I guess it would depend on what kind of co-worker he was. If he was a shitbag on-set and just a douchelord in general, then yeah, I might be all “welp, this isn’t tragic.”

Maybe Naya Rivera put a hit on him.

I don’t know if this is the same thing but I recently noticed at work, on some HR site, that my manager is no longer listed as my manager. He is a “people leader”, which I considered to be something straight out of Better Off Ted.

I’ll need a list of action items and the top five key takeaways. List out the value-adds for your group and compensating controls for your risks. Then send it out to the leads, cc the team and loop in all the stakeholders!

I understand the knee-jerk reaction to say law, and yeah, some of the writing is awful. But in terms of ‘jargon’, law doesn’t have it the way other industries do. Sure, orders have crap words like “herein” and “wherefore” and, my personal favorite, “heretofore” but it’s just old English words that people continue to…

The “offline” one is super annoying, especially since the target (the person interrupting the meeting with irrelevant questions) almost never actually stops at that point.

I’m just blueskying here, but can we dialogue on this?

Great. Now I have to go put my head in the oven for understanding every word of this.

Who will own the follow up on that?

I know they’re heroes and everything, but military jargon is the fucking worst. I have a friend who has a habit of dating, marrying, and then divorcing dum dums who pick her up at a country bar just off the military base near us. I can’t tell if it’s the low level brainwashing that’s necessary to maintain a competent…

So the guy who laughed at his wife for calling a helmet a hat never played high school football with an old school tough guy coach. We should all laugh at him.

Maybe law jargon seems impenetrable, but we don’t get to make up ridiculous terms like consultants and ad people do. Our jargon mostly comes from

Yeah, but nurse jargon is at least about keeping people alive. Consultant jargon is just pure bullshit.

Like fashion and style people talking about “a pant” or “a (something) lip”. Dogs pant and most people have two lips.

I disagree. As someone who isn’t in consulting I understand your jargon. My sister, who is a nurse, frequently has conversations in English that sound like she is actually using a foreign language.

I’m in banking. Ours is bad too.

Still I’d actually vote military as the worst. If you can have a conversation with someone…

Consulting is less its own industry than the meta-industry of applying shitty jargon to other industries.

Law jargon is a lot of Latin which is an actual thing as opposed to made up bullshit.
