    I still remember how a colleague told me we should do X.

    I was bamboozeled and baffled by it because X was literally what it said on the flask of the chemical what you shoulf not do under any circumstances.

    His explanation as to why we should was, quote “I mean I know its strange, but Copilot told me it is okay and would be fine”

        “look how far we’ve come, into the new millenium!”

        ehhhh… oh boy.

      If we thought outsourcing thinking to religions was bad, hoo boy. This shit is next level.

      When the boss pulls this on you and you ask for it in writing only to tell them: "I’m still not going to do it but now I have a written instruction from you to do something suicidally reckless”
