    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.

    1. How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
    2. How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
    3. Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

      1. The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.

      2. It’s just a picture of a woman?

      3. Probably something horny and vaguely racist.

      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”.

      The story itself isn’t a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.

      How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?

      Maybe he’s targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).

      Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

      Ask him? His name is on the image.

        The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.

      This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.
