Genuine workplace convo today:

Them: What's your WhatsApp number so we can coordinate better on this project?

Me: You can reach me over Teams (corporate's choice, not mine). I try not to use WhatsApp or other Meta products for privacy reasons. I have a deep philosophical disagreement with their ad-driven, data-harvesting business model.

Them: Oh, I see. We can agree to disagree, then. I'm a capitalist and I like making money. Meta has been the best-performing stock in my portfolio this year.

Me:

Aviator, diver, Etherean, nexialist, PhD in aviation ∩ climate science | Host of /diving /ethfinance /eth-staker /geopolitics /science /singapore /thomas

LOL wut? Apparently privacy = anti-capitalist somehow?

Honestly I love how weird humans can be 😂
