Nah, they'll just replace everyone with AI & robots. People will be stressed, but it won't be from work - problem solved!
Can’t they just hire gay people in the first place? Can’t turn gay if you’re already gay.
Or maybe working hard could make you super gay… or straight? I don’t know how this works.
I think it's a bit like the horseshoe theory in politics where the far left and far right agree on some of the same things.
So once you're super gay, you get to fuck super straight guys. That would explain why all these anti-gay politicians keep getting caught banging dudes in airport bathrooms.
It all makes sense now. When you max out your straightness value, but keep on pushing, you cause an integer overflow. That’s a sneaky way to end up being super gay.

"I'm not gay, I'm overworked."
-That guy
Right before putting the cock back in his mouth.
I can think of a couple of different motivations for this.
He's trying to get ahead of a leak that he's gay.
He's trying to help reduce pressure from employers, in a very odd way.
I'm going with the first one, because people in power don't give a fuck about anyone else.
Option 3: Look what you made him do.
Wouldn't that mean like at least half the world would be gay? Where TF do these idiots come up with this shit?
Shut up! I don't want to keep working so much!
half the world
Sounds like meat is back on the menu 😏
I'm calling in gay tomorrow and citing a world leader.
saying this while holding one of the most stressful jobs in the world is such a crazy way to come out but pop off king
"I need to suck off a twink to deal with all this stress."
Jee, I really feel like sucking dick today boss, it’s time I took a few days off.
it’s time I took a few days off
... to suck some dick.
Someone’s got a case of the Malaygays
Finally bigotry I can support.
excessive job stress, social pressure, past sexual experiences, and weak religious practice
Yeah, having past sexual experiences with a same-sex partner will do that.
Being gay in the past is strongly correlated to being gay in the present!
Correlation isn’t causation

I feel a little bit gay already, better take the rest of the day off.
This is way too real.
„I Felt a Little Homosexual Today, So I Called in Sick: The Formation of “Reverse Discourse” by Swedish Gay Activists in the 1970s“
This article revolves around the legal and epistemic battles around “homosexuality” in Sweden in 1979, which led to the abolition of homosexuality being classified as a “disease”. Among other things, gay activists “called in sick” to the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and claimed that they were unable to work because they were homosexuals (read as mentally disordered).

That dude looks stressed as fuck.
Whatever works
10/10 Perfect comment.
Well yeah, obviously. Work stress is alleviated by more money, and $20 bucks is $20 bucks.
Omg, I honestly didn't see that coming, well done.
I hate my coworkers so much I want to suck all their dicks. I'm not gay, but damn, I feel like the only relief I can get is if they relieve themselves... in my mouth. And my throat. And maybe my butt... but I need to get these stress related hemorrhoids checked first. Shit, I forgot, I don't have healthcare. Now I have to suck some nurse dick. It's gonna be a long weekend. Maybe if I get everyone together in the same room we can get it all over at once. Just... not in my eyes, please.
Ohh, so i guess the Prime Minister is extremely stress all the time, that explains it.

He's right though, there i am, working my ass off, deadlines that fall behind and people running left and rightto catch the post-truck with that last minute delivery for the day, and all of a sudden, there we both stand, exhausted, over worked, and just start to furiously make out.
It's a real problem. And i for one am glad someone is taking this with the seriousness it deserves.

What country was it that had people calling in gay to work because their government classified it as an illness, again? 🤔
So basically, most of the world is gay? Cool.
Working hard or hardly working, eh?
I'm like, super stressed you guys. Frankly, if you want me to straighten out, we probably all ought to revert to a 32 hour work week, better yet, 24 with full time pay. That ought to sploosh relief right into me. Us. It's science!
The response to that is "If that is the case, why aren't you sucking dick?"

Fuck man, I must be one of the gayest people on earth then. Get it? Fuck man? Hahaha.... I'm sorry.
fuck, didn't even know it. i'm gay now since I've had some stress at work
Wanna 69? I've been working a lot of overtime lately.
Luckily, we don't have elected representatives with this type of reasoning skill......... /s
Anything to get out of work huh. Sounds weird to get 3-4 day work week.
"We've changed our minds , no more layoffs... Now is the time for lay ONS!!!! And instead of 'line goes up' another thing goes up now and it has... Infinite growth"
