    Discord. God I hated how I was one of my friends that got everyone to switch, and now I’m the first one out. I don’t think they have added a feature that hasn’t been an annoyance for a while, and after a year of no mobile notifications working and their staff being incompetent (especially if you are a free user) I’m just over it.

    Everyone worshipping it is kind of a turn off too. It’s a service y’all, I’ve had everything from AIM to Slack and I’m sure there will be a million others. Worshipping a corp is gross.

      A question I was asked interviewing for my only marketing position: “What’s a brand you admire?” I would have turned right the fuck around were I not supporting stepkids and looking at a 50% raise.

      I don’t understand the ability to have an emotional connection to a corporation.

        Omg I would have absolutely no script for that. They would get the blankest expression and something snarky like “it was impressive how Nestle was able to get market share on water and baby formula in the African market” but knowing my luck I’d probably get unironicly hired with that line when I was trying to be sarcastic. 😭
