    like, he can't be arsed to buy a reusable water bottle, he just brings in a bottle every morning

    makes a big deal about how he just came from the gym

    it's always one of those popup bottles that you suckle

    refills it in the water cooler, pops the top before suckling the plastic teat, then pushes the top back in every time

    They should sell Water Tits, which are just like bags of water with a plastic teat.

    they do sell those, just with wine
    this sounds vaguely biblical

    thy breasts are like skins of wine

    and thy box is like a box of wine

    Blah the coffee is really bad at my work.
    You can buy coffee that tastes better downstairs , but I normally drink tea.

    Guys, I'm really addicted to the passion tea at Starbucks. And the free wifi.

    Well, you dont bring a water bottle to a meeting!

    I don't know, the whole picture says to me "we offer zero amenities" and maybe it's just me, but every place Ive ever worked that skimped on coffee also penny pinched on benefits/pay

    I feel like you are reading too much into the beverages but not enough into the rest.

    I see too many laptops at that meeting, and the beverages and phone chargers mean that shit has been going on forever. Work doesn't actually get done at meetings, so more than the drink situation, it screams to me "we waste the time of 8+ employees for hours and hours at a time while nothing gets accomplished"

    Apparently it contains a special strain of the bacterium, named Shirota, named after the dude that made it or whatever.

    In china, all the yogurt was really watery and always served with a straw, so I dunno. They always looked at me funny when I'd peel the lid off all the way rather than pierce it with the straw. Double strange looks when I'd toss fruit in.

    No it is a specific brand with specific flavoring and other things added. And also the only product to contain that particular strain.

    there are only two reasons an organization will go byod:

    1) they think it will save them money on IT, which means they're both cheap and deluded
    2) they have a bunch of employees who are special sensitive snowflakes who must use their own personal computers for work or they feed

    neither of those bodes well

    1) Does Riot approve? They're not exactly keen on helper programs.

    2) Curse's track record with security is very poor. I'm not sure that I would trust any executable downloaded from Curse.
