closet full of women~~'s clothes~~
I deleted my Facebook account in 2009. I started an IG account in 2021 that was 100% for comic book stuff. Deleted that one last night.
Is he behind that woman?
Is there actually something behind all these comments about his appearance, or is it just typical internet name-calling that mostly falls into the same anti-LGBTQ+ bucket?
He claims to hate transpeople, yet passes for female better than I, an actual transwoman, do.
I guess that’s what makes it funny they are anti what they remind ppl of. Don’t hate thy self, push toward others is what she is projecting.
You are exactly correct

This is the loudest he’s ever screamed “please sell me TikTok!”
Does He realize could easily pass as a member of dykes on bikes?
From the way American mega-corporations are going all-in on this, it seems like a long-term choice; so I think it’s one of two things: the shareholders are demanding that they go full republican (which isn’t happening AFAIK), or they’re trying to survive because they know something you don’t.
Disclaimer: not a US citizen/resident, but sad to see this happening tbh.
Edit: or it’s short-term and caused by Trump pressuring everybody to do controversial stuff in order to distract the public from the Epstein files.
Silicon Valley elites quietly became deeply entrenched in some wild god-complex groupthink over the last 5-10 years, and it aligns fairly well with fascism.
They are on it just as much as they were on progressive issues very little time ago. Corpos don't have believes, they do what they think will bring them more money now
It's Trump and the Project 2025 ghouls.
The anti-woke campaigner brought legal action against Meta – ... – after the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot falsely stated he took part in the riot at the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021, seeking $5 million in damages.
Hold up, you can a convince a chat bot to say something bad about you and then sue that company into giving you a job?
What the fuck is happening right now?
zuckerborg is bending the knee to orange menace, its the androids way of placating the king.
The Zuck is just another techno fascist
He looks REALLY LGBTQ...
How is it possible to be trans and anti-LGBT?
The most vocal anti-LGBT+ try to convince others, but mostly they're trying to convince themselves.
"got mine. None for you"

I love the irony of people trying to make there AI's not gay.
BROTHER
TURING WAS GAY THE GODFATHER OF COMPUTERS.
oh the irony
I made a gay hulk Hogan AI voice the other day. Checkmate
I've run out of upset energy. It is like trying to dodge rain drops now.
Crash Lab did an episode about that way back in the day. They determined that running makes you more wet than walking through the same amount of rain.
We had to model moving vs static in the rain in a college physics class.
I’m about to get real mean to people still on FB/insta. Wtf will it take for you people to say no to a shitty social media website?
I quit fb and Twitter the first time Trump got elected. I knew what was happening

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation
"You're a woman, that's a mental illnessl" is apparently completely OK?
"Non-biased AI" = Very right-wing biased AI
Zuckerberg is such a coward.
He bends over backwards for even the slightest change in wind, like VR or a fascist govt. He dropped open-weight llama at the first experimental stumble.
Mark my words, if a mega liberals got into power, he’d fire this guy and act as woke as can be.
It's not cowardice, it's intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.
Don't participate in the fascist echochamber

Meta seems to really want to overcorrect... they demanded Meta remove their diversity policies, so Meta said that they'd do one better and just start stringing people up in the office.
anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist
That's so nice of him to be opposed to LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorists!
Trust me, the bias advisor they need is towards Israel
We’re in hell.
