After moving to Taiwan from America, I noticed that asking about someone profession is an American thing. Not once has anyone asked me what I do for work after moving here. Except from Americans.
We ask that question, because flat out asking their net worth is impolite.
We need to place them on the income scale, above or below us, so we know how to treat them. This is exactly what is happening, but no one will admit it.
I think it's more a conversation starter. Some people who work might have interest in their job and might get them to open up faster. In Taiwan, it deters people from opening up.
The Skaven clean up good without warpstone, look these fine clan Skryre gentlemen even let a man-thing participate with his own Skaven costume. The reduction in size is a bit concerning though, probably the fault of Thanquel somehow.

You just don't need that level of scrutiny
I think he’s a spy. He’s clearly infiltrated this organization.
They are just very open to diverse folk
Still remember last time I saw this image make its rounds, I think it was edited to be about Mastodon, objectively the lamest part of the fediverse.
You spelled hexbear wrong.

Is it really work though?

I'm just shit at small talk and it's an easy opening.
It’s just small talk. Work is a huge part of most Americans identity so it’s natural to look for similarities in other people’s work
Ya, I think American associates their work as their personality. I find this interesting.
It's more like they associate work with your value as a human being and aren't shy about it.
Happens way less often in the mid west vs SF Bay Area
Quite refreshing to have no idea what a lot of people do for a living
I learned the hard way. The first few times I asked someone in Taiwan I just met, the awkward silence and the ambiguous answers made me stop asking.

Context isn't your strong point huh?
I have that thing where I have to fav each repost of this particular meme
I have a reminder on my calendar for surgeon pizza rats day every year. I don't know what, or why, but I have it.
One bad day away from a Batman villain.
I dunno, mousman and batman would make a good team.
Honestly, can we make a vote for installing pizza makers next to the Emengercy ORs? It sounds like a good deal.
But what if you accidentally leave some pizza in the incision site when you sew it up?
Just some extra red sauce, all good
Emengercy food
Greasy fingers and scalpels don't really mix...
So that's what skilled lemmy users look like

Don't ask the question if you don't want to know the answer.

Just Say No To The Warp
This is the IRL story Ratatouille was based on.
The rat's parents wanted him to be a doctor and the human wanted to be a cook....so they made a deal.
