Hate that it's socially acceptable to eat a warm pasta lunch at my desk but if I eat curry or Chinese food, I get glares because ~it doesn't smell as good~ 🙄

You need new coworkers. Where are you working, Midwest? I'm in Texas and my coworkers always compliment the smell of my lunch when I microwave curry or enchiladas. The only thing we can't abide is microwaving seafood. And there's one graphic designer who does it all the time no matter how much we shame him.

You know what smells disgusting in a lunchroom? Someone microwaving leftover tuna caserole 🤮

There’s food porn then there’s food racism.

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that. What I find cringe is the obsession with using it 24/7 and the assumption that adding "lit" or "that's cap" or "slay" to things will make them do numbers. Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.
