I can understand that you pretty much have no other choice in a work context, but dear god are there any uni students who unironically take pleasure in having drinks/dinner on Zoom? Can you fathom more cucked behaviour?
Imagine ordering a nice meal at home and then recording yourself while pretending that you are at the same table as some classmates/friends. This is pure dystopic shit

This is what they want the future of our lives to be.
This what my local liberal city newspaper published unironically. Imagine living your life with this much fear. Pathetic.
wonder why grandad is wearing a mask when its just his wife there. is he wearing it all day long? this is crazy and agreed - very dystopic.
i can see why big corporate is happy though - look how many tech gadgets they had to buy!
Pretty sure it’s a joke, there’s literally a painting with a mask on.. imagine being this dense
LSE/FTSE invited me to a "zoom wine tasting" over the summer. The event itself was rather meh, despite being hosted by the head of the winery's tasting room. I'm not going to complain though, I got 2 bottles of $100+ wine out of the deal.
Clown world
It’s legitimately pathetic. I don’t know why people think this will be a thing after (yes, it will end) this is done. I guess it’s a good proxy to know who to not hang out with.
Zoom is a videoconferencing platform. You shouldn’t be eating/drinking/playing games during a video call.
It's become the absolute go-to for everything. I think it has basically replaced phone calls for some odd reason. I need it to tamper way down once things start to get back because I don't like it at all.
Zoom has become a verb a la Google way, way too quickly and I’m not okay with that at all. That just fuels the normalization of this all.
Completely agree. It was already getting excessive when people preferred to facetime instead of call. Calling is so much better for multitasking on speaker. I also don't think first rounds will ever go back to just phone calls. The hirevue or teams meeting may become the new normal unfortunately.

Have you tried asking them to refocus their camera away from their crotch, and instead show their face/ or above shoulder?
Whenever I feel down about having to socially distance and do things over zoom, I just thank god I'm not Ozymandia or financeabc
Yes the better use for Zoom is to watch your long distance girlfriend get an orgy out of a didlo while you jack your quick ass off.
It's a little awkward. Personally, I don't eat on zoom "dinners". Most people claim to have already eaten, etc. To me, I ignore the whole dinner part and just treat it like any ole zoom call.
Mute, turn off video and take a nice fap. I mean nap.
Big Brother enjoys watching your personal life and hangouts.
This picture just really says it all. I wonder how much New York Times this person has consumed in lieu of cleaning their apartment or getting a job that pays in a currency other than oat milk. Zoom happy hour anyone?!?
I dont get how people live in a shithole like the above. ill hang myself before i let me place get trashed like that
It's what happens when your blogging career doesn't take off and mommy and daddy ween you off...Then you just get aggravated and start protesting.
You sound like a fool drowning in your own privileged world.
Wake up! That’s literally how the majority of the world lives.
Only on WSO, could video conferencing become an evil liberal plot to take over the US. Companies have been using video conferencing for decades and it is very useful. Instead of flying to the middle of no where, you can head to a conference room. It saves companies money. I do appreciate the chance to have Zoom Meetings with older family members who may not be interested or want to meet in person. Of course, we would prefer to meet in person for a large family event but we are probably not going to do it in the near term. For college, it does kind of suck. Everyone I know in HS or college thinks it is joke.
I read your first sentence and stopped because frankly, no one gives a fuck about your opinion
C'mon man. That is not true: all of my peeps in my liberal circles care about my opinions
that’s where you’re wrong, kiddo
There is a legit 1 correlation here of libs on this thread saying that this is "the new normal, etc etc."
You clearly didn't read the OP
He has trouble with reading comprehension
Let's start shaking hands and doing things in real life like men do. It's worth it to fly out and get the face-to-face. You just can't capture that with some pixels on a screen.
All these new technology is slowly deteriorating this world...
Whether you love it or hate it, I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if virtual meets become increasingly mainstream and accepted even in a post-pandemic world especially when you hear people say that the people in the youngest generation who grew up in the digital age generally don’t really give a shit about in-person interactions. The world places a very high priority on convenience.
Do we live in the same world? You sound absolutely delusional
Maybe I am delusional to your immature pea-sized 18-year-old mind.
Yeah that's what you should tell yourself when everyone else is out hanging out/socializing/enjoying life while you are home doing whatever it is you do. Like it or not society is going to move forward, but feel free to not join. Judging from your responses here I'm not sure you have much value to add anyway.
There is no way you are not a dumb teenager living with your parents.
Btw, you either don't work in banking or do and are just a total idiot...Are these troll threads?

Also, why is levered beta used for CAPM? Intuitively, what is the difference between levered and unlevered beta?
Lol at your inability to focus solely on the subject matter at hand
Maybe quit blaming your failures in life for "lack of privilege" and you'll be able to make a few friends.
Hahaha....talk about putting words into other people’s mouths. Perhaps you should quit making inaccurate assumptions about others.
Yes, Zoom catchup/networking events make my asshole cringe.
the great globalist reset :)
LOL, why are there so many dumbass conspiracists on this board?
Getting vaccinated, social distancing, and wearing a mask should not even be political. Just do it
