my kid asked me what LinkedIn is for and I said "it's where adults go to lie to each other" and he said that sounds like school and I said yeah it's exactly like school he's in his late 50's and has never graduated

Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."

"Am I the only one who" mate there are 8 billion people on this planet. You are not the only one who puts sauce on the side. You are not the only one who doesn't like small talk. You are not a rare breed. You are a person with a mild preference and a Wi-Fi connection.
