      journalism is falling apart before our eyes but don’t worry i’m sure some prominent figures will SLAM each other along the way

      edit: everyone saying that gizmodo isn’t journalism— that’s exactly my point. this article shouldn’t be given space on a “world news” community. hosting this is bad journalism.

      Where did this “bro” thing come from anyway? I know it’s a signal telling me to hate someone but what particular hivemind is spreading this?

        Bros were dudes who liked to party.

        That became Frat Bros who were obnoxious and loud guys who like to get drunk and party.

        Eventually becoming Gym/Tech/Crypto Bros, which referenced the toxic masculinity and obnoxious nature of those two groups whose entire identity is the thing they bro’d.

        Which in turn became a catch all suffix for groups/industries that are toxic/harmful.

        No “hivemind” is spreading it, it’s just the evolution of slang and language in action.

        No. And in this case it was probably an accountant or other operations worker in the company’s treasury management department. Almost certainly not a finance bro.
