Regex is hard y'all
Well, they can be, but fucking this particular one up took outright ineptitude
Jobs finished boss
With skills like this you too could be working for the fascist billionaire manbaby's personal vanity social media service
Thank you capitalism 🤗
Meet the new Gilded Age, same as the old Gilded Age.
Which one do you mean?
Good point, I should probably have said "working for a fascist billionaire manbaby"
Again, that doesn't really narrow it down.
It wasn't supposed to narrow it down, quite the opposite
At this point I have to assume it's malicious compliance by staff to make Elon look bad.
