Is this an out of season April fools joke?

Can’t tell if this is damning with faint praise, or just an incredible self own

I’ll die before I install Facebook Messenger

I definitely agree that they do stupid things because of short term gains and narcissism. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re just grumpy bosses mad that it’s harder to boss people around.

I also worry though about portraying executives as buffoons. Most of their short term decisions that look stupid make a lot of sense when you look at it through the lense of them just not caring that it makes life worse for other people. It’s honestly probably a combination of a bunch of dumb and greedy things.

Sure, but if everyone who can goes remote, all that rent money dries up. Most also don’t directly own buildings to rent, but rather have investments in companies that do. If those other companies go under then they lose money on investments. I don’t have any inside knowledge though, this is just the conclusion I’ve been able to come to. Other than just being control freaks.

I don’t think there’s some shadowy Illuminati organisation behind it. They are pretty blatent when they manipulate things.

That said, I do think there are a lot of investors and analysts that have come to the same conclusion and are talking to each other and passing info to their clients.

A lot of large companies and executives have investments in real estate. If everyone stopped using offices all of a sudden, they would lost a bunch of money because the space wouldn’t be in demand anymore.

They’re going to have to buy me a car and pay for gas and parking before I’ll take a job where I’m full time in the office

We wouldn’t even move the amount by a percent

I really want to use Firefox on android, but the swiping gesture sensitivity (google images, closing tabs, etc) makes me unreasonably angry. I have to swipe 3 times just to get it to stick.

I haven’t looked into kbin much because it was described to me as “you can look at Reddit style posts and twitter style microblogs on one place.”

I fucking hate microblogs.

And?

I told my mother she was a terrible person because she said she was going to eat at a restaurant because I told her the owners were transphobes.

She got angry, we haven’t really talked since. I’m not sorry.

Oh this isn’t meant to imply that rich people are smarter than anyone else. More hard to believe in that I don’t want a man with such immense power and wealth to be absolutely stupid. The obvious best choice is no one having a billion dollars.

I mean, he doesn’t follow the trappings of a comic book super hero (don’t @ me about Star Wars comics). He has all the powers and motivations of a super hero though. At the end of the day, Iron Man is just a rich guy, what makes him a super hero is the framing of his media.

The only reasonable answer is that Musk is intentionally killing Twitter, which is conspiracy theory levels of dumb.

The only other solution is that the richest person in the world (officially) is this stupid. This is almost harder to believe than a conspiracy to destroy twitter.

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Friends, and the Office

All three in combination will be the future

That’s my point, the algorithm doesn’t understand context.

Oh I didn’t want to imply that Linus puts out political opinions. Of the few videos I’ve seen of his it’s all tech hype videos. I was only giving an example of the algorithm deciding to nuke my recommendations if I watch one of his videos.
