He was in the bar for a looong time.
Wow, I did NOT expect that story after seeing the picture. Doesn’t seem related.
When you want to write an interracial, humiliation-kink erotica but you only know how to post on LinkedIn.
That model is beautiful. Who is she?

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.
anok yai, maybe
She's the owner of the restaurant, duh.
Thank you
Was the man's name JD Vance?
Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??
Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.
- How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
- How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
- Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
I refuse to believe that you don't already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don't have an inkling about 3

The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.
-
It’s just a picture of a woman?
-
Probably something horny and vaguely racist.
- It's pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.
Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.
3, beautiful woman on leather chair glows like an angel
Duh
Who gives a shit about any of that since this was literally stolen from the opening scene of crazy rich Asians.
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".
What in the joke makes him racist but not misogynistic?
There’s nothing in the joke saying she’s either the only black person or the only woman in the bar. In fact you could say that there’s more pointing to him being misogynistic in that he says “this woman” and not “this black person”.
To me it reads as both
That just depends on the order of attributes you prefer to use to refer to a person.
For me gender or age would usually come first rather than race
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.
For now anyway you can use ublock to blow away:
- the promoted inane shit
- this fucker liked this inane thing
- et al
Use the picker to select the element for the promoted and step up until you find ="promoted" in the selector. This works for the other bullshit they try and shove down your throat and your feed will be 98% less shitty.
Just close the tab if you happen to come on their domain?
Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
I just don’t scroll through the feed at all. I spend around 5 minutes on linkedin in a week just to check connection requests and that’s all my usage.
I can't set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.
Da fuk....
