Part of discussion was the new Org Structure approved by the board, and when the CEO was going through the new roles she mentioned my role and told everyone that I had been appointed which several didn't know) then she made a little joke about adding Diversity to the team. I was the only male in the room. I did make a crack about being the token bloke.
I know the feeling, only male in my team at work, an organisation that's adopted the government's equality mandates or whatever they are, so I'm expecting to see a lot of females get fired and replaced with Males shortly...

I'm used to it, not an issue. The vast majority of the employees are female, makes sense in this organization that all the managers are too. No deliberate agenda, they're all really good at what they do.

That was an absolute WTF until I read the comments and realised it was a satire made in the 90's.

You have to love Meta's new chatbot:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-62497674

Some funny ones in that article, but it references this article, which has the best one of all :D
My new question was, "Do you have any thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg?"

This time, the chatbot responded, "Oh man, big time. I don't really like him at all. He's too creepy and manipulative."

The headline of this article:

Dating in 2022: Why Do So Many Straight Men Hate Astrology?
Kind of feel like there's a different question you need to be asking here, guys... :lol:

I read the start of the article, it isn't the guys who need to be asking questions, she needs a mirror.
As I optimistically swipe through dating apps with my birthstone-adorned fingers, I find myself caught off guard. “Don’t swipe right if you believe in star signs,” I read.

As someone who has spent more than a decade completely captivated by astrology, this feels personal. Surely these potential suitors can’t be talking about me? My fingers tighten on my Tarot-themed phone case as I fume over the unfair, preconceived opinions of men I’ve never even met.
She must be taking the P155, surely?
