      Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.

    1. How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
    2. How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
    3. Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

      I refuse to believe that you don’t already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don’t have an inkling about 3

      1. The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.

      2. It’s just a picture of a woman?

      3. Probably something horny and vaguely racist.

        Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you’re spot on with #3.

      Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.

      Race is relevant because it’s the point of the joke (he’s racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn’t relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I’d forward it to HR with the note “hey just file this one away, you don’t need to act on it right now but you’re definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later”.

        What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?

        There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.

        To me it reads as both

    I should design a userscript that completely removes the “social” feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I’ve ever seen.

      Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.

      I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.

      I can’t set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.
