i imagine the meeting will go something like this....

i walk in, they are standing in their executioner garbs... hooded robes.... there is a giant space laser in the conference room by the big table..... the tell me stand over there.......... while they calibrate the laser..... i do as i am told..........

the laser is now calibrated..... my fate is sealed.... "your fate is sealed," breanne tells me..... "step over here, in front of the laser," brad says.............. they calibrate the laser....... "any last words?"....... "no...." i whisper..... "my life began in squallor.... this was the only way it could have ended...... ill conceived..... dishonorably te-" and then mid diatribe they just blast me through the wall and i am vaporized

i'm working and it's annoying. if you see me with my headphones on i'm in the middle of the a 2 hour podcast and it will be tedious to pause and/or rewind 18 seconds because you started saying something to me that was boring and some throwaway work-related aside about how you dont like your client or something

seriously, i know you dont get this but the youtube video i'm listening to is important to me and more important than anything you are going to say, i practically fucking guarentee it so just stop interupting

im serious, these spotify playlists took me like 11 and a half hours to organize and i really like this song and it was just crescendoing and now you've fucking interupted it so you could tell me it's time for you to stretch or whatever, seriously, stop talking to me I DONT CARE! OK??? IM SORRY, YES IM MEAN IM A MISANTHROPE I JUST WANT MY AUDIO TREATS STOP TALKING TO ME LEAVE ME LAOOOOOONE!!!!!

thank you niko-dunk

i'm sure you already know people directly affected by this war, but if you don't and need a good "I know someone with family in Ukraine and they think ____" (because lived experience is a wedge you can use in conversations with liberals, at least sometimes) -- feel free to tell them that your friend worker_bear (make up a cool name) has family fighting on the frontlines, and appreciates when Americans don't blindly buy into narratives that call for ever-escalating bloodshed, since it ain't their cousins and nephews who are going to die in the firefights.

if they ask "well what does worker_bear suggest we do about it," I wrote a very rushed piece about a year ago when the war broke out (wrote over 2-3 sleepless days/nights, admittedly it could use some editing), but you can send them this: https://medium.com/@pyotrbarannikov/what-is-happening-in-ukraine-and-what-can-we-do-about-it-cbc6902d6c50

good luck comrade o7. as others have mentioned, don't get yourself fired. Habermas was a dork anyway
