Can we get a semi NSFW tag on this? It's a bit...edgy.


I'm really glad I don't work somewhere that this wouldn't be completely safe.


Well, I mean, there's an above the fold pic of a guy simulating sodomy, and lots of F-bombs. Some of us don't work for startups, or even, gasp, in places with an HR department with no sense of humor and a sexual harassment policy.


You work at a place where the word fuck on a website means it is not safe for work?


In a place where I wouldn't want my boss's boss to see me reading a site with the word in 60pt type, yes.


The higher up someone is in a company, the less offended they tend to be by "fuck". We've all heard the word before. They even say it on TV now.

(At my last job, people were always worried I would get into trouble with my "open source, fuck yeah" laptop sticker. But nobody actually cares.)


Welcome to the bible belt.


They aren't upset that you are browsing HN but they are upset that you see the word fuck?


Well, considering that part of my job is evaluation of new tech, regular scans of tech blogs are actually expected.


I pity you.


there is an easy way to fix this you know

(the easy way is to find a job in a cool place)

It's completely SFW if you have privacy. If you don't have complete privacy it's SFW if anyone who might possibly catch a glance at your screen will unrealistically spend the time understanding the content on said screen.

In most workplaces random passerby's will only get a quick glance and then try to decipher what they saw from visual persistence. Almost anyone will assume he's looking at porn of other workplace-questionable content.

I thought it sounded like an interesting submission. While I am hardly a prude, 15 seconds into it the stench of "Bro!" was too overwhelming and the Back button drew my focus.


I want this guy to succeed just so that I can hear more semi-edgy stories like this. He walks the line between funny and TMI well.
