I have never, ever posted a picture of my kids online. I’ve sent a handful to family and friends via messaging apps, but only ones that are naturally flattering, and that is as far as it goes.
As it turns out, my overwhelming hunch that this is the only decent, respectful course of action in the mindless social media age, seems to be correct.
I love my kids, and I respect them as people, as individuals with a right to privacy at any age.
Imagine being such a failure as a human being that they drag others down the hole they’ve stubbornly dug for themselves.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
Madlads material right here.
This reminds me of something…
What are we going to build?
A PAYWALL!
Who’s going to pay for it?
META!
The best people. Just terrific hackers or coders or whatever they’re called. Biggly.
Damaged narcissistic minds, misfiring alike on all goddamned cylinders.
Maybe that should be Vitamin F
Baked beans with cookie dough and caramel.
The other one is caramel with baked beans.
The other one is cookie dough with baked beans.
The other one is caramel with cookie dough.
Then there’s Cherry Garcia.
Broken people breaking things.
Throw money around recklessly, regard your broken self as some great lord of a realm, treat people as your slaves, then fiddle with little pet peeves in utter ignorance of how and why they work, watch a cascade effect spiral out of control, blame anyone and everyone but yourself.
This is a right-wing pattern. Look at the orange cock holster and the bullshit he was fixated on while squatting in the White House. The mind of a petulant child.
So it’s beans now? The dastardly agenda we must push.
“The bean bots are coming! The bean bots are coming!”
“Son… the bean bots are not coming. They have ARRIVED.”
find a way to make that crappy investment somehow profitable
With this sudden, reckless implementation of shit, alienating more and more of the very user base that gives the business its’ value?
He’s created a cascade effect that didn’t need to turn into an avalanche, at this point he’s just piling one half-baked idea on top of another, and another, and another.
Unless the petty goal is to turn that place into a toxic right-wing playground, which in turn… what does he gain from that, exactly, in case it works out and has a societal/electoral effect? Lower taxes and less oversight, so he can do as he pleases?
Occam’s Razor suggests his mind is broken by stress, willful lack of sleep and social media addiction - the attention of millions of both haters and worshippers - incompetently “getting high on his own supply” like Tony Montana, and went into this convinced his shit doesn’t stink. And now flailing at the lack of success and here comes A.I. with its’ scrapers.
I think he can’t keep proper track of reality at a level where things don’t break. This is one of those “sleep machismo” idiots who hasn’t had a proper, healthy sleep in years and years. With the stresses he has brought on himself, plus being a willful lightning rod addicted to the attention of millions of people - both the haters and worshippers - his mind is in some sort of late-stage erosion.
What a wasted opportunity of a man. What an embarrassment.
Many people relied on Twitter before Dorsey left the company and have been stuck there, out of the blue they became hostages to the idiotic whims of a sick man who hasn’t had a healthy night’s sleep in what seems like decades, a mind eroding into dust.
I prefer to feel empathy for these people. As with Reddit, this whole thing is a grotesque charade with plenty of collateral damage.
Proudly planting the libertarian flag on top of a few pet peeves.
Then watch them cry foul whenever libertarianism strikes in any of the soft spots they don’t want touched, or don’t understand through lazy ignorance. An extreme cartoonish (yet sadly real) example being something like “Keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare”.
You forgot the wildcard:
