Examples that come to mind:

  • saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
  • saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9

The two rules are that:

  1. It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
  2. Nothing too on the nose, ex, no “I love the music of the Red Army Choir” or something.

      My manager sarcastically saying “oOoH we must seize the means of production comrade!” He’s always complaining about how the upper management don’t understand any of the work we’re doing, how inefficient and expensive a lot of tech we use is, how other departments are falling behind and look to us for help, and so on. I asked him something like “don’t you think our lives would be easier if we decided how things are run at our level, and not people who never even step foot in our office?” And he just stares as me like I’m speaking gibberish lol
