I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The hammer attack is definitely real.

The radicalization on Facebook is probably real. I mean, who isn’t?

San Francisco Zuckerberg General Hospital is definitely real, and it’s the one that Mr. Pelosi was taken to. It’s not the closest to his house, but it may have been the best prepared for his surgery.

The usual reactionary Qanon stuff is all there, but he's also a film critic

quote:

“The critics are f— commie gate keepers,” reads a post written two days before the attack on Pelosi. In it, he writes he “enjoyed” the superhero movie. “Fantastic performance by Mr. ‘The Rock’ he carried the movie.”

But the writing quickly jumped to a conspiracy that the movie plot is not about the comic superhero Black Adam, but an effort to push hate against white people. “The real plot of the story was kill all white people,” DePape wrote. “Black adams [sic] was just a plot device for hollywood to push their white hate narrative.”

DePape was mentioned in a 2013 San Francisco Chronicle article and was described as a “father figure” to Gypsy Taub, a nudist who lived in a three-bedroom Victorian apartment in Berkeley with her then-fiance and her three children. DePape, who was “a hemp jewelry maker,” was the best man in Taub’s wedding.

I give Zuckerberg hospital props, because they didn't used to take any insurance, so would treat everyone who got taken their equally in loving them over with massive emergency room bills, regardless of whether they had no insurance or techbro insurance:

They've probably stopped doing it now based on the backlash.

There is also Search Engine Optimization value in just blathering on and on. Research shows you're more likely to rank if you put more words on the page. (It is a deeply stupid system when you get down to it, and the incentives in Google's algorithms have greatly contributed to the decreasing quality of Google search.)

yeah but with that magnitude of money being shoveled down a hole it's basically guaranteed there's some enron flavors of creative accounting shenanigans happening somewhere to help the money magically vanish in ways that someone finds beneficial

$25 billion a year is a quarter of their entire yearly profits. its absolute madness, but also turns out hilariously terrible results. so who is to say if it's good or not

You'd think for that kind of money the crime would be better. For $250b I'd expect new laws declaring that voting will now take place exclusively in the metaverse and a government assistance program to help everyone in the US purchase a headset.

Not sure about Nintendo, but those others are software only companies. Remember that Facebook has their VR headset thing so they have a lot more expenses for hardware development than just software dev salaries.

counter counter point: Nintendo makes Mario, a fun game I enjoy spending time in that features legs on the characters, and Facebook just drove my aunt and uncle to become insane preppers

Yes, but have you accounted for the amount of grift that needs to be paid as part of the program?

the thing is that while it would be really dumb to just give everyone a free oculus, it would actually make more sense as a business plan than whatever the gently caress they’re actually doing, and if Zuck really believed the Metaverse were the future, it would be a financially sound move
