I dunno, but then again, I’m not on any of the apps so I couldn’t tell you either way. There are a lot of people on there who do drugs but I could usually filter them out pretty easily, especially the tweakers.

Is it getting worse, or is there a sampling bias?

My guess is that people nowadays are more open/honest about drug use, not that there is more drug use (excluding cannabis post decriminalization in the USA).

You mentioned grindr/sniffies. I think drug users are more likely to use these apps as they are more likely to endure the declining grindr ux, and more likely to want the unfiltered raunch of sniffies.

Debating what? I didn't say that meth use is harmless or that it isn't a problem.

OP I think you might be overreacting a bit. There has always been drug use in and outside of the community that finds its way in. A lot of DL guys use them to get loose, which is why I don’t mess around with people whose faces I can’t see. The apps allow for such anonymity, so I stopped using them.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.

Additional Posts in LGBTQIA+ 🐠

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
