Take the job if you need it. You’re not going to change their minds.

Clear your conscience by doing some pro bono work for a gender issues non-profit or small company that is LGBTQ+ friendly/owned—especially if they are a competitor to this company.

Gradually, ween yourself off this company.

You start to wonder, “when am I going to feel like an adult?”

I hope there are logs.

The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.

Danny Devito as Bilbo Baggins.

I misread “hosts” as “holds” and just thought “strange way to get them to the table but sounds about right.”

Subscriptions and licensing, supposedly.

$12B is just how much money investors put into it. The company’s valuation is $80B. Which is insane.

xAI has raised maybe $12B from investors. And, supposedly, makes $100M/yr.

The valuations are absurd.

I’m surprised the Twitter investors would approve this. Their worthless Twitter stock is now worthless xAI stock. How does that help them?

I guess they’ll try to take xAI public with a massively overpriced IPO.

Yeah, if this was a Ukrainian or her kids were grown, I would understand. But, she has young kids who need her and probably can’t even begin to understand the situation in Ukraine.

If this were my spouse, I’d divorce and begin looking for another mother for the kids. I don’t know any mothers or fathers that would leave young children for a foreign war.

Easier to manipulate, yes.

The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.

So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.

Sus. Don’t trust random people on the internet.

There’s an old internet adage from the early days: “Don’t trust you can’t punch in the face.”

This isn’t paranoid. It’s basic safety. Talking about personal stuff to people you don’t know irl is inherently risky.

If you’re in need of a confidant, find someone you know in real life who’s trust you can verify or a professional.

This user has had other posts deleted.

Yep. And he was kind of a hanger-on with the elite and famous but was mostly rejected by them. A lot of his shitty behavior probably stems from being rejected and being bad at business to the point that he went to the Russians for loans and got compromised.

It’s a measure of how much energy you can uselessly burn with other people’s money.

It’s traditional in open source to have really terrible names.

This means it’s working. It’s getting to them.

Tesla doesn’t sell through independent dealerships. This only affects Tesla owned dealerships. Which is nice.

They don’t say where they get these numbers other than “two people” cited in a paywalled article.

Apple One has over 1 billion subscribers. I’m sure they can afford a loss leader like that.

The only way to know if this true is if Apple says so or they just stop producing content.

You know you’ll end up putting skates on it.
