    There’s nothing more degrading than working for a corporation.

    I should know, I’ve done this most my life. I’ve not gotten anywhere important because I refuse to be a sychophant.

    The sycophants are always the ones in charge of people.

    Conforming to the latest fad or be ostracized and bullied. I remember growing up there’d be regular periods when there was a new pop culture thing or even some localized meme. All the boys would fall in line to make sure they’re all in on it and repeat the catchphrases. They would quite literally stare down other boys to check for compliance or non-compliance. So anyways that’s why I got my ass beat all the time. Fun.

      Reminds me of the reddit threads where someone was doing a bit like song lyrics or quoting part of a joke from some media source and if anyone replied playing along but not completing the expected joke, they’d get downvoted, “whoosh” replies, and people upset that they didn’t catch the reference, even if their response was otherwise clever.

      Glad that shit doesn’t seem like it’s made it here. People will do bits referencing other stuff (hell, I just did one myself yesterday) but I haven’t seen people scolding others for not following along in the proper way here (of if they do, the scolder gets downvoted and piled on rather than the person accidentally or deliberately missing the reference). Even spelling/grammar nazis usually get downvoted (though it depends on tone).

    Don’t break the illusion or the mirror can’t tell them anymore that there is nothing to worry.
