My train has jumped your track. Usually I follow your message pretty well. Can you elaborate?
(Here's my signature friendly snek π to clarify my genuinely curious tone)
@Helical_Code that's from the employer for Thomas Matthew Crooks
@duglop
Right, but why do you view it as a sob story?
@Helical_Code let's put it like this - they didn't notice anything out of the norm about him in any way shape or form over the past few days? Granted no one has magic words to say during a tragedy like this - but that gives another "thoughtas & prayers" kind of vibe to me...
When things like this happen, yeah, stuff may occur to them in hindsight that could, if you'd squinted, have seemed off? But, like, most people don't let it all hang out w/colleagues. At minimum, we mostly code switch into our "at work" persona. I very specifically hardly ever even glance in the direction of political talk at work, for example, which is FOR SURE NOT my true persona.
@CLManussier @Helical_Code me neither - I avoid politics at work to keep the peace... but I also interact with people outside of work... just saying
Right now, none of my work acquaintances are IRL friends, tho. So, going on the thesis about what people at work sgould/might have noticed or suspected... π€·ββοΈ
