A bar is technically a restaurant I think. At least I feel the terminology can be vaguely applied.
He was in the bar for a looong time.
When you want to write an interracial, humiliation-kink erotica but you only know how to post on LinkedIn.
Wow, I did NOT expect that story after seeing the picture. Doesn’t seem related.
That model is beautiful. Who is she?
Albert Einstein
Thank you.
Hey guys, I found the restaurant owner
She's the owner of the restaurant, duh.

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.
Thank you
anok yai, maybe
- How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
- How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
- Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
Isn't it supposed to be like those riddles where the answer is that the doctor's a woman?
- Restaurant/bar owner black ladies called Albert Einstein. Its the first result on google image search.
I refuse to believe that you don't already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don't have an inkling about 3

The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
-
It’s just a picture of a woman?
-
Probably something horny and vaguely racist.
- It's pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.
Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.
Race is relevant because it's the point of the joke (he's racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn't relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I'd forward it to HR with the note "hey just file this one away, you don't need to act on it right now but you're definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later".
What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?
There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.
To me it reads as both
That just depends on the order of attributes you prefer to use to refer to a person.
For me gender or age would usually come first rather than race
Okay, that’s a fair point as to that comment not making it more sexist than racist, but not for it only being racist. I don’t see anything in the story pointing to race over sex.
I would argue that mentioning race at all is what makes it more of a racist thing.
Like, why say that woman was black at all then?
But it's all just semantics, it's a fake story that has both aspects in it, and it doesn't really matter if it's one or the other
3, beautiful woman on leather chair glows like an angel
Duh
Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.
Was the man's name JD Vance?
Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??
Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.
I should design a userscript that completely removes the "social" feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I've ever seen.
For now anyway you can use ublock to blow away:
- the promoted inane shit
- this fucker liked this inane thing
- et al
Use the picker to select the element for the promoted and step up until you find ="promoted" in the selector. This works for the other bullshit they try and shove down your throat and your feed will be 98% less shitty.
Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
Just close the tab if you happen to come on their domain?
I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.
I can't set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.
Da fuk....
