Hear hear. But you're not doing it properly. Please be consistent.
"what about being human when it matters most? In person" - doesn't this exclude people with social anxiety disorders?
"mix of knock-off stilettos" - doesn't this exclude people who wear flats?
"people bumbling about who looks a hair too much like Dwight Schrute" - doesn't this exclude people who do look like him and may have body image issues?
"You have just entered the land of networking hell" - this imagery is deeply offensive to some religions
"Screw the schmoozing" - using sexual imagery? No thanks.
"The people who hand out business cards like they are condoms in a high school sex ed. class" - alienates those with a conservative upbringing
"Disclaimer – keep those condoms, kids" - again, pretty offensive to Catholics
"They want meaningful relationships" - again social anxiety
"And people respond to kindness." - not everyone. Exclusionary to those on certain parts of the autistic spectrum.
"The same philosophy goes for networking" - I can imagine quite a few real philosophers getting offended about the belittling of their profession
"One good conversation is better than five quick ones every day of the week" - not the Shabbat!
"It’s for people who will never be more than middlemen" - think of all the middlemen out there, feeling excluded at this hate speech and switching off
"when you remember to be human" - deeply insulting to robots
- johnchristopher 13y agoAh yes, the wonderful binary world of computer people where nuances only come in the form of 0 or 1.
- waterlion 13y agoSorry, I should have put a <rhetoricalIllustration> tag around that to clarify that I don't actually believe any of the above. (Do I really need to say that?). I won't spell it out again, I've made other comments in this thread.
