      Ask them out the next day? Did everybody forget to function as human beings while I was away?

            I had to send a soulless corporate emai(my first)l to one of my devs who fucked up pretty big. I ran it through copilot and it told me my opening paragraph was to emotional. I’ve worked with the guy for 7 years and been his boss for 3. The email was about accountability and communication which I probably should have sent 2 years ago.

              Just out of curiosity, did you take the edit? You guys have longstanding relationship and genuine human connection is one of the most important things in the world to me, it’s sad to think of corporate perspective being that tightly enforced. Can’t be good for the living, breathing people behind those processes :(

                Yeah I wanted it to be as soulless as possible. If I could I would have yelled at him but being as could as possible was better than being luke warm

      You just add it to the list of other such numbers, I don’t think you’re supposed to do anything with them. They’re probably used as random seeds or something.

      Serious answer: depends on what you’re into and what you’re looking for.

      I’ve been married a while and I still send my wife memes. Sharing random jokes we found on the internet makes up a big part of our messaging thread, in addition to normal topics of communication (whether we want to go to a thing, what time we’ll likely get home from work, what do we want for dinner, can you check to see if we have enough cheese to make this thing I want to make, you won’t believe what this asshole said to me at work, etc.).

      But the memes are still a big part of our communication, after pretty much starting that way. Our early texts were both coordination of in-person dates, and funny things that made each other laugh.

      The handful of relationships I had that started in the smartphone era basically followed that pattern. There were some duds that fizzled out between getting a number and not ever making it to a date, but I don’t think I’d want to be with someone who didn’t enjoy my communication style. Which, again, is heavily meme based.
