What joke, in otherwise great sitcoms, do you hate? (lemmy.zip)

I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

It turned out to be from a "satire" news company (scare quotes because I just don't see how it was satire...it's not poking fun at any institutions or beliefs or advocating for any particular action), and not a real story.

But it's worth investigating how we feel about it anyway, because stories where something similar has happened have also been true.

I think the people doing the interviews are the lowest scum-tier "influencers". I hate that they exist, I can't understand who's watching them. They're not producing anything of value. But they're not doing anything morally wrong, in my opinion.

The blame here lies 100% on the employer. What she's doing when not on company time or in company uniform are none of the company's business. It should not be legal and is definitely not ethical for an employer to take any disciplinary action for something an employee does that has no connection to their business.
