These kinds of things really are just a lack of communication. I do wonder just how bad a formal complaint is though - it comes across as extreme, but it's probably just a way to avoid confrontation. There are worse ways to learn you did a faux pas.

That makes sense. I'm so used to reading those descriptors as purely pejorative because of that. Sounds like they are simply aligning with some understated social norms here

The remark about X comments leaning right-wing/anti-foreigner is odd to me, when they seem to side with a "keeping the peace" sort of take. I actually expected them to be the ones suggesting to continue barbequing and causing problems.

and that SUCKS, but it's also why I think it's not just hilarious as a farce, but a an actually poignant parody and social commentary. They managed to do all that without simply saying it's bad, but showing people trying to hold onto their humanity as they persist in the humanity mangling machine.

They kept doing this one bit in particular where guys presenting to the audience would pointedly say "we're making the world a better place, through [incomprehensible word salad]". It really made you believe this machine is propelled by good intentions mangled by the process into a marketing tool

Had a couple more thoughts here too before remembering this thread bsky.app/profile/dres...
I think what strikes me the most is how it's almost like a farce, a parody of real life, but may as well be truth the way tech visibly fails forward yet runs our economy (and my patience) into the ground

Terrible people grasping at success in the worst reflection of the uselessness of the tech world, a view that has only gotten more accurate 10 years later. A little stereotypical at times of the demographic, but hardly wrong.
I've never been so angry while laughing.

The most hyperbolic aspects of it were all too true. The coders with heads up their asses finding more success than people just trying to live off their hobbies, the executives moving money without any regard for the people around them, the endless platitudes and cope that your work betters humanity

I think I wouldn't be as amenable to this if it weren't for the general burnout of "A-tier" media over the last few years. At this point I'll take junk over slop

...Thinking on this more, actually, I think this discourse is on the wrong foot from the get-go. The version with the woman at home has a tone that is intimate, emotional, personal, even passionate. But not horny or pornographic. There's overlap in those but they aren't quite the right words, at all

I think there is potentially an argument of false equivalence in comparing the male and female versions.
Put another way, saying that the two are meant to be parallels by "male v. female" might only be low hanging fruit; the comparison could also simply be "home v. work" - a difference in intimacy.
