Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y’all. I know it’s already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.
They talk about the week’s news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.
Irish person who swears a lot here (to the point of being reprimanded by US-based HR at work), you’re taking a massive risk saying “cunt” in a professional setting. Getting fired rather than reprimanded seems pretty harsh though.
It’s unfortunate, I’d have an issue too, I have Canadian farmer levels of swearing I don’t even notice myself doing it. And some of the sayings are probably racist as hell but it’s not meant that way, it’s just carryover from the old days.
In the end I think it worked out well for him, but some understanding that not every culture is as uptight and puritanical as America would have been in order.
