Props to anyone who can laugh at themselves over something like this, although it might be the kind of attitude that got him in that pickle in the first place

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Yeah that salami really rubbed against that pickle...

I thought that was going to be just a food pun but when I was done writing it out it felt more sexual than culinary. Whatever, I'm leaving it.

The question is whether it's tongue in cheek, or if he's genuinely that terrified of having a gap in his resumé...

Jesus christ, the people on this platform...

Do you really think they're keeping the fact they've been to prison on the down low? It's a joke at their own expense.

What's kind of funny about this response is that the other post reads like a deadpan joke, to me, based on the premise there is no limit to the crazy you can find on LinkedIn.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 138 points 1 month ago

Can't have a gap on a resume...

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 80 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Totally with this. It's hilarious.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I exhaled slightly through my nose

[–] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The greatest of compliments.

The one thing you don't want to announce before going to prison is "I'm happy to share!".

hope those comments are wishing him a long career at Cumberland

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Actually kinda brilliant the level of self awareness here.

Lemmites genuinely cannot comprehend satire, can they?

It's worse than Reddit.

I don't know how Linkdin does these things, but is it possible that he just updated his job title as "inmate" and "Place of work" or whatever to FCI Cumberland and that the system did the rest, generating the sentence and adding the image? Or did he have to type it all out himself?

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 21 points 1 month ago

100% the first one, but absolutely hilarious in any case.

"Michelle Bond and her co-conspirator romantic partner attempted to fund her campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives by illegally using hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate coffers, among other sources, and then lying to Congress and others to cover it all up," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said.

The pair met in June 2021, according to prosecutors, and they have a young child together."

Holy fuck that child is going to have a fucked up childhood. I am so sorry, kid.

The toxic positivity of LinkedIn continues.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

There's nothing toxic about making a joke at your own expense.

License plate making is a bit too crypto-adjacent in my opinion /s

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Metal stamping is a good way to protect seed phrases from fire.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

This is fucking based as all hell

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'll bet his mom is super proud.
