I was pretty disgusted by Musk for a long time, and I'm glad I was justified in completely trash talking him. Watching his actual, real personality come out as he struggles not to be owned has been a real unsurprising eye-opener.

I hope on a lark someone at Tesla HR hires me for my business plan, I actually get to execute it and build it into a functional company, completely flense his bullshit GMAC Cryptocurrency and Racism bullshit, and turn him out on his rear end far away from it while giving a lot of spotlight the people who actually made it worthwhile so he can take a Trump Twitter poo poo for the rest of his life.

It's one lunch Twitter, how much can it cost? $400?

It's the "add up all the costs in a year and divide by the numbers of people in, as they obviously each ate a lunch of exactly equal value."

It makes no division of service costs vs supply costs, or maintenance/upkeep/replacement vs devalued assets, it's taking every liquid out the pantry, mixing it all together, and wondering why the drink tastes like poo poo :laffo:


This is where Bezos takes Lonnie to court over defamation and agrees to settle the lawsuit through a match of sporting fisticuffs, then he knocks out Lonnie and we all suck his dick for a minute and then bump him down the "billionares to kill first" list by a few places.

The overt, virulent hatred of someone for working at a company (that produced a tool that happened to be used to uncover people being racist, and was thus somehow "anti-free speech") is real, and that hatred and doublethink is what matters to me.

Having your life upended because you called someone the n word in public? Or because nobody tolerates ethnonationalism as "just my opinion" anymore? Bad.

Having your life upended because a rabid horde of manchildren can't "jokingly" threaten strangers with rape without losing their jobs anymore? Cool and good.

So, what do you think he'll start blaming first for his failures after "the wokes?"

Is it:

(a) Other rich people
(b) The US Government
(c) <insert racial epithet>
(d) Facebook/Meta
(e) A conspiracy
(f) not being given enough money
(g) anyone he can find that isn't himself

I know we all know this, but any company that provides free snacks, lunches, gyms etc has absolutely worked out that it is cheaper to con their salaried staff into staying onsite for multiple extra hours per day with meals n snacks rather than pay them properly for their extra hours

I briefly worked for one of these companies. The lunches really were wonderful; the sushi alone was better than anything else available in Ireland at the time, but the working conditions were dogshit.

Free food is legitimately one of the most cost-effective ways to improve morale and job retention and treating it as a luxury or an excessive expense is an excellent signal for the bosses who think of their companies as morality plays for capitalist hierarchy instead of “let’s actually maximize profits” the former are a lot worse than the second as bad as the second are

Hear hear. I have no doubt that there are a lot of companies/offices that treat free food as a proxy for OT pay, but that's not been my experience at all at one of the FAANGs (circa 2010-2015). It was a very appreciated QoL benefit on top of the absurd pay, reasonable working hours, and extra pay when on-call.

The myth that the likes of Google do so in order to somehow fool their employees into doing additional OT is ludicrous.

Even in my crunch-heavy videogame days, OT food was certainly never seen as "compensation". It was more like coffee: a bare minimum the employer was expected to provide.

I still remember when I first started using irc chats and message boards in the 90s and being a mod was like the ultimate dream. The buttons! The private channel/forum for mods! I tried to ingratiate myself so much and be known as a good poster all so I could weasel my way into a sweet modship with all of the power and popularity that comes with it.

I did eventually get to be a mod of this small Final Fantasy forum. gently caress yeah. Except it was pretty lame overall though, the buttons were less fun than I thought they would be. And no one really gave me any more respect or liked me any more.

Also, this all happened when I was 11 years old.
