Don’t be evil 😈

Literally. It’s the bear thing all over again. If you’re offended by stuff like this, you’re basically telling on yourself.

The reason these conversations are so unproductive is because some people take the wildest read of these jokes (“all men are rapists”) and get offended by them, when the surface reading (“men like the idea of meeting a random woman, women do not like the idea of meeting a random man”) is crystal clear and non-controversial. This joke could be from a Seinfeld opening monologue, it’s such a generic piece of observational comedy.

🙄

Every time I hear about this, my main take away is “why would you name a company Astronomer?”
