600 comments and about 90% are “I’m gonna try this for a promotion 😂👌” or “Just… Wow… The world is fucked” redditors are truly as gullible as the facebook boomers

      So I pretended to be gay at a job interview, and now everyone’s asking to meet my boyfriend at the holiday party.

      I got one of my friends to pretend to be my boyfriend

      Everyone loves him, he’s a hit

      We kiss in front of them (as per our agreement)

      Kissing him felt good, what’s happening to me?

      A few months later, he tells me that he likes me and wants us to be a real relationship

      Well, guess I’m actually gay now boykisser

    The level of rage bait on reddit is exactly as bad as Facebook but redditors also simultaneously consider themselves the smartest people in the room and literally superior to people who use other apps.

    The other day there was a post about how somebody loved their daily ritual of earing a bunch of bacon with a coworker at their desk everyday but then they got a new hire who was a black women and also probablly a muslim who complained about it and everybody in thenoffice agreed she was an annoying buzzkill.

    Not one single comment pointing out it was a victim fantasy of a 14 year old boy.

      Funny when the exact opposite is true

    “I think being a straight white male makes me undesirable in a place that has over a million straight white males and used to be 45% straight white males”

      i mean toronto today is often considered the most diverse major city in north america, even more than NYC. but ofc diversity has nothing to do with white male privilege, south africa is less than 10% white and white people are still ridiculously advantaged

    Assuming it’s real, I don’t see the problem, that’s just hustler grindset mentality. If the job market wants gay, then give them gay, libs and chuds are always saying you have to adapt very-smart

    the lathe of heaven turns as God cackles, a fate string spins off wildly towards the OP, striking him in his loins, he needs to suck cock now. What is this hunger? This isn’t how it was supposed to go!!

    Feels potentially real to me, corporations love performative allyship, just look at the attempted cooption of pride. I could absolutely see a company prioritising queer hires (in certain industries.)

      the being called brave part seems fake to me, in 2020s toronto?? how would you even drop that naturally? i’m bi and if i dropped some info that showed it people might try to virtue signal a little but they don’t wanna seem like an over the top weirdo

      a quick google and it’s one of the gayest cities in north america with a whole lgbtq enclave, 1 in 5 identify, they probably have plenty of visibly queer employees
