Suddenly, conservatives are for a shorter work week.

Nah, they'll just replace everyone with AI & robots. People will be stressed, but it won't be from work - problem solved!

Can’t they just hire gay people in the first place? Can’t turn gay if you’re already gay.

Or maybe working hard could make you super gay… or straight? I don’t know how this works.

I think it's a bit like the horseshoe theory in politics where the far left and far right agree on some of the same things.

So once you're super gay, you get to fuck super straight guys. That would explain why all these anti-gay politicians keep getting caught banging dudes in airport bathrooms.

It all makes sense now. When you max out your straightness value, but keep on pushing, you cause an integer overflow. That’s a sneaky way to end up being super gay.

jballs@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 34d (1 reply)

Exactly! It's like Ghandi in Civilization.

LOL. What a classic move. The fastest way to world peace is to invade every nation and murder everyone.

But isn't losing a job a work stress? And since they don't want gays, nobody will be fired.

Additionally, if they don't want you to be gay, they should employ you, otherwise you would work elsewhere, maybe for some libtard, who would stress you and turn you gay on purpose.

I can think of a couple of different motivations for this.

He's trying to get ahead of a leak that he's gay.

He's trying to help reduce pressure from employers, in a very odd way.

I'm going with the first one, because people in power don't give a fuck about anyone else.

Wouldn't that mean like at least half the world would be gay? Where TF do these idiots come up with this shit?

This is way too real.

I Felt a Little Homosexual Today, So I Called in Sick: The Formation of “Reverse Discourse” by Swedish Gay Activists in the 1970s“

This article revolves around the legal and epistemic battles around “homosexuality” in Sweden in 1979, which led to the abolition of homosexuality being classified as a “disease”. Among other things, gay activists “called in sick” to the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and claimed that they were unable to work because they were homosexuals (read as mentally disordered).

Mediocre_Bard_Redeux@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 35d (3 replies)

excessive job stress, social pressure, past sexual experiences, and weak religious practice

Yeah, having past sexual experiences with a same-sex partner will do that.

Being gay in the past is strongly correlated to being gay in the present!

Yeah, having past sexual experiences with a same-sex partner will do that.

Stress goes down, go to work. Work stress builds up, get to fuckin'. Stress goes down, back to work...

Wait a minute, I'm just describing the last ten years of my life.

Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app · 11 pts · 35d (1 reply)

Well yeah, obviously. Work stress is alleviated by more money, and $20 bucks is $20 bucks.

P00ptart@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 35d

Omg, I honestly didn't see that coming, well done.

chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 35d

I hate my coworkers so much I want to suck all their dicks. I'm not gay, but damn, I feel like the only relief I can get is if they relieve themselves... in my mouth. And my throat. And maybe my butt... but I need to get these stress related hemorrhoids checked first. Shit, I forgot, I don't have healthcare. Now I have to suck some nurse dick. It's gonna be a long weekend. Maybe if I get everyone together in the same room we can get it all over at once. Just... not in my eyes, please.

He's right though, there i am, working my ass off, deadlines that fall behind and people running left and rightto catch the post-truck with that last minute delivery for the day, and all of a sudden, there we both stand, exhausted, over worked, and just start to furiously make out.

It's a real problem. And i for one am glad someone is taking this with the seriousness it deserves.

Ohh, so i guess the Prime Minister is extremely stress all the time, that explains it.

A) yes

B) aren’t those politically motivated charges?

psx_crab@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 35d

Well i don't know, political or not, he's not acquitted, nor he is proven innocent, he's just pardoned(which mean he's convicted), all i know is my boy might be bi and i'm proud of it, and i don't agree with the trial at all, there shouldn't be even a trial for that.

What country was it that had people calling in gay to work because their government classified it as an illness, again? 🤔

fork@feddit.online · 9 pts · 35d

Of course! That's why I keep thinking about being spitroasted. Obviously. Why else would I think that? Of course I don't actually want to do that. Why would I? Just work stress. Clearly.

Olhonestjim@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 34d

I'm like, super stressed you guys. Frankly, if you want me to straighten out, we probably all ought to revert to a 32 hour work week, better yet, 24 with full time pay. That ought to sploosh relief right into me. Us. It's science!

Zier@fedia.io · 9 pts · 35d

So basically, most of the world is gay? Cool.

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 35d

There is actually a lot of evidence that it's the mother's nurture that affects gayness.

Specifically younger sons (with an older brother) have a higher chance of being gay.
