I don't know why people even care about that. I go out of my way to not use my work laptop for personal work/projects/etc. Especially considering the amount they value the laptop at (which may be inflated) is deducted from yo

A 50% drop is a big oof moment for Stripe. But then again I don't think the company was every really worth +90b dollars. If I were an employee I'd take the liquidity now before this goes the way of WeWork

Trying to "flirt" in those spheres is looked down upon just as ferociously as doing it at the office. Have you not seen the viral TikTok of the woman that was "angry" that some guy was "checking her out" at the

As a 30+ year old kissless virgin I have recently began noticing that the loneliness part has began affecting me more deeply than usual. I suppose noticing the first signs of aging in my face led to the realization of all things not-done. I

All of the sudden with Musk's takeover of Twitter and the tech crunch causing layoffs in many companies we have senior engineers and managers suggesting that maybe engineers shouldn't enjoy all the "perks" of the industr
