Lol I definitely wasn’t implying that y’all were looking for a hookup. For many reasons, first being that would be extremely impractical.

I just think there is a level of rapport built in the office that would be less easy to create on ping only and I feel like any friendship built on that alone would fizzle out 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know the tiktok couch guy. But you can always ping me random stuff.

Ping me too 🥺

Couch guy belongs to the streets!!!

Are you talking about the trash guy that crushes couches?

No but that sounds entertaining

It’s this girl who surprised her boyfriend at college and he was not enthused. The video caught him on the couch with like 3 girls and it’s just super shady. Girl and couch guy both say he isn’t cheating but … it’s pretty suspicious

I don’t know about couch guy (I refuse to use TikTok), but I know how you feel. My old job I had work friends, and even being semi in person I feel like it’s not as social as when I was remote with my old firm.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

I’ve learned recently about some traumatic events that family members of mine have gone through but I had no idea had occurred. Besides my parents divorcing I really have not experienced that many hardships or trauma in my life. Sometimes it makes me worry if I’m due for something bad to happen, if the other shoe was going to drop at some point. I know hardships are a part of life and I feel like I have had far less than normal

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!
