#1 masculine energy

Not a term I would have associated with Zuck.

#2 Maybe I ''lacked masculine energy''

A century ago, most everyone worked in agriculture. That "masculine energy" is what invented the 20th century and made us productive and prosperous. Secret Tip: girls can have it too.

When I arrived, I learned I was the only person on my team required to be in the office.'

Doesn't that sound like heaven! A clean, well-lit work environment without all those annoying co-workers. A great place to get stuff done.

'Perhaps I became too vocal when our shift to young adult (YA) content involved removing safeguards that protected LGBTQ+ users.

Ahhh, too woke for work.

I didn't want to contribute to a platform that could increase suicide rates among LGBTQ+ youth.

So getting laid off is good. Your virtue is intact and you get unemployment. Wins all around!

#4 I've seen enough women do this is my workday videos to know it was probably rather easy to cut them.

There less than a year, wanted New York, settled for San Fran....yeah, but she has a couple of those vanity videos out too.

Like, here we are at the cafeteria getting shrimp cocktail. I know they are, like, 15 count or whatever, but they come in fives which is not enough for a meal, and ten is, like, too many, so I'll order ten, and take three home to give to my, like, three oldest cats.
