Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties‽
They are markers of who belongs and who doesn’t in the corporate environment. Ties tell me that you love bureaucracy and meetings but hate real work. You can’t do real work in a tie and if you do, your tie is pretty gross.
This is why super tacky, gaudy, ridiculous ties should be worn. It draws attention away from the quality of your work so you can do it with complete mediocrity that’s symbolic of bureaucracy.
Contrasting bright colors. Polka dots. Razzle Dazzle. American flag. Busy stripes. Mildly phallic and vaginal but not quite HR reportable.
At the last job where I had to wear a button up shirt and tie, I decided to go all out on the wacky and ended up with a closet full of paisley.
Every morning I ask myself “how can I dress as phallic and vaginally as possible today without it being HR reportable?🤔”
If I don’t have anything floral and penile enough, I’ll compensate by using the word “moist” several times in conversation that day just to be on the safe side.
tie + lathe = death
They’re waiting for you, Gengar, in the test chamberrrrrr.
Back in the middle ages a king wore a long scarf and now you have to wear a tie at work.
They are a leash. You are their dog. You have nothing to lose but your scooby snacks.
We don’t.
California here, you mean at weddings?
He’s totally wearing a clip-on.
It’s still work.

Ok, that’s ridiculous/hilarious; episode context?
Why is lemmy so religious?
God is just an expression to me🤷
Seems really foreign to me that it would pop into someone’s head
“Holy crap”, “God damnit”, 'Dear god", “What the hell”, these are all things I say regularly despite not believing in any holy things, gods, or hells. It’s simply a part of my vocabulary, which tends to happen when you grow up in a country surrounded by people that actually do believe in those things.
Different cultures I guess? It’s pretty common to hear around me regardless of religious belief. In fact I’d think the religious would be less likely to use it in such a way?
I think it’s just part of how languages work and people communicate, at least for people learning a second language - but I even do it in my native tongue, so I think it’s general.
For example, if when you are learning English you hear a lot of people say “God dammit” when they are frustrated, then when you are frustrated you’ll probably also start saying the same without ever even thinking about God. It’s essentially just a series of sounds when you learned to make to express frustration.
I see more atheistmemes on All than I do religious stuff.
This is a joke, most likely, given the community and context.
