I think the online thing is about to start dropping. The sites are so full of looky-loos who just want to chat and never actually meet in person they're hardly worth the time. I expect as the bot infestation continues to grow, they'll be even less useful.

Musk did not buy this as an investment. He bought it to flip elections and manipulate public opinion.

Tesla is writing him a check that will cover the entire purchase price, and Saudi Arabia and Russia will pay the operating costs.

Active users are what matters; if they lost 75% of their users then I'm paying attention.

"But he says he'd cut my taxes 5% so I'm giving him $100 million in dark money," they continued.

I would mind less if the American auto industry was producing affordable lightweight EVs...

Over half of tech industry workers have seen the "great demo -> overhyped bullshit" cycle before.

Masturbatin' Mike Johnson just got his first legislative win!

I'm so proud of this man who sends his porn history to his underage son.

Oh fuck off on this one, Joe.

What exactly did you think would happen when you went on tv and announced that we would completely back Israel no matter what they did?

You expected restraint from an apartheid government in a blood rage?

Don't play dumb.

A lot of computer people are also fucking weirdo outcasts who have zero interest in helping the FBI put the boot on people's necks.

What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?

But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.

12 minutes or so in, they say "as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially." I thought "actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever", and finished the video intending to get on with my life.

My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. "HR have proven themselves to be fools!" "I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again." "Once again non-technical people talking out their asses."

HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
