A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If I'm talking about liking red cars then point to a car, and you say, "that's not red, that's mauve," you're being an ass.

If we're shopping for paint together, and i say "i like this red," and you reply, "i think that's mauve," you're trying to be specific in our communication about a common task.

Right now, we're talking about cars. Chill out

What are you talking about?

Needs and wants are not like colors, lol. What a terrible analogy that only a moron would take seriously.

You're putting yourself through mental gymnastics to try and change the meanings of words to suit your agenda.

I'm gonna block you now. I can tell people like you aren't worth dealing with.
