One member of my team is going to apply for an open position in the company (anyone can), but before she did, wanted to make sure I’d still be her boss if she went for it.
Awwww.

Agreed. That means we are very fucking rich and it’s great. We can do better in many areas, but having goods to purchase and enough food is fucking awesome. De-growthers are putzes.
Choices
“It’s impossible to not weigh 400 pounds because the food companies told me to eat a lot” is not the winning argument that many Fat Acceptance types think it is.

Hotting
Getting massively hotter over the course of four years has really decreased my opinion of people, even as I reap the boons and benefits of being treated better and more respectfully everywhere. It just shouldn’t matter so much, especially in contexts where it’s completely irrelevant.
But it does. I like and hate that I can stroll into a place and get what I want so much more easily now. A lot of women act like giggly messes around me and help me even when I don’t want to be helped. At the same time, men treat me less like an annoyance and more like someone to kowtow to.
It’s not really right or fair, though. And it bothers me even as I benefit from it.
Shark in Latin
I mean, I am a guy who would definitely love to go back to the late 90's/early 00's, & just sort of vibe there in that summer where there was so little real news we all freaked out together about shark attacks. But you gotta know when a thing is over.

Oh shit, I’d totally forgotten about that. Before 9/11, things weren’t perfect, but they were better in many ways.
Being and Nothingness
What’s the worst thing about being a man?
I haven’t read any of the responses, but the worst part of being a man is that you are treated like a predator and dangerous by everyone. It’s impossible to have a normal interaction with anyone — particularly women — because you are seen as a default threat, and not worthy of respect or consideration because of that. Your every action is suspect, and your motivation for doing anything is questioned.
Women think they get too much attention? Try being given so much negative attention all the time. Society treats men as completely disposable and as a huge threat by default, no matter what you do or how you try to get around it.
